Ok for kids maybe scary. Wasn't impressed and I'm a chicken... nightmare before Christmas is scary to me- yet I didn't jump, scream or have any fear. No pre show and long wait. Very repetitive. We laughed more then we had fear. A lot of young kids were scared but we saw children going thu w no issues. Kinda sad- I wanted the thrill and haunt. Worse part is a spinning area and actor wouldn't let us by even after saying not scared but I can't stand on this he refused to move and said we can't touch... well buddy move! There is plenty of timing between rooms but maybe this wasn't the scariest of the two.
