3 Things to Know Before Letting Kids Watch A Babysitter's Guide to Monster Hunting on Netflix

I'm just going to put it out there: although this movie has a kid-friendly rating, Grand Guignol is actually pretty scary. When viewers first get a glimpse of him coming out of the closet, all we see is a hand. Unfortunately it only gets scarier from there given his realistic stage makeup and coloured contacts. Parents with kids who are easily spooked might want to fast forward through this scene as it may be frightening for little ones and older kiddos alike.

Additionally, Grand Guignol has a gaggle of various brightly coloured monsters that look like scarier versions of Monsters, Inc. characters thanks to their sharp teeth. While their appearance might not outright frighten children, they make some sudden movements that may scare younger viewers.

We all know how terrifying bad dreams can be when you're young, and we quickly learn that Kelly and Jacob are no strangers to having nightmares. For kiddos who often have bad dreams or wake up in fear of things that go bump in the night, this trope could definitely make bedtime a little bit harder, particularly because there's discussion of nightmares coming true.

Although there isn't any outright inappropriate violence, viewers see Liz attempt to lock Kelly in the cage after becoming hypnotized. Liz and Kelly also seem to always have a little monster on their tail, which means finding innovative ways to distract them, or well, fling them to the other side of the room!
