What??? I thought you were building the Serengeti?

Since your grand daughter is young I would think more cute scary than gory scary.

Probably at her age keep it simple, since she may not get it or have any interest in it if it's stuff she's too young to understand. Most of the scary ones are probably best by the time kids are about 7 and can understand it's all pretend. (But that body bag, that's a little too realistic/rather disturbing.) The cockroaches are a little too much like some home visits I've been on!

Less????????? That link looked pretty over the top! Yeah the Serengeti set is to much, I'm really struggling for other ideas on this one.

She is a contradiction of girlie girl, and tom boy. Terrified of a fly, thinks snakes and spiders are cool. Loves to go to the zoo where she can hold snakes and whatever other creepy things they have out that day.

The link was for anyone searching Halloween themes. Search YouTube for Halloween commercials to get some inspiration. Maybe the candy commercials.

We had a driver that would go out of route rather then drive past a graveyard. Dispatcher did the body bag with trash bags and put it in drivers seat of his truck while he was in the office, one Halloween night. When he went out, climbed up and saw the bag with red ooze coming out he took off running. They had to go chase him down the road in a car to tell him it was a joke. Even then he wouldn't get out till they disassembled the bags to show him it was pillows. LOL
