I don't know if I am the only one who feels this way, but I think the Haunted Mansion is so silly, and not scary. Does anyone else feel that the Haunted Mansion is not scary at all?

Took our son when he was 5... he's going to need years of therapy to work through the nightmares.

Even though it's fun and wacky, there are definitely parts that are solidly eerie, and even when it gets fun and wacky, it's still pretty ghoulish, especially with stuff jumping out at you. It's the perfect mix of comedy and (very) mild frights.
I didn't know if I was crazy or not, but there are lots of people who post comments and think that they are genuinely scared of that ride! I didn't know if I was the only one who thought it was kind of funny! Guess I'm not alone!
Thanks! :animwink:

I wouldn't go on the Haunted Mansion until I was about 12. I was too scared of it.
Just wondering, why would you take your 5 year old on a haunted house ride at a theme park? What were you expecting exactly? Did you think a haunted house wouldn't be spooky, dark and scary?

The begining always get me, I think its becasue everytime I get into the buggy a CM stared me down and freaks me out. I love it though 
When I was a child my sister loved HM and made is go on it every time, I think she only loved it because she knew it scared me to death and I had to close my eyes the entire way through. Now though, I can't get enough of it, it's funny and scary in that, "BOO! Ha ha, I got you," way.

The ride is designed to have the first half sort of scary, and the second half more light and funny.

:hammer: evilqueen i just finished your thread on cbj if your son is so traumitized by hm and cbj maybe you should consider not returning to wdw and sign off this site and never return since you have nothing positive to say about any of the attractions:hammer:EvilQueen11 said:

I wouldn't go on it as a kid, but I love it now! Like a lot of people have said, it was designed to be more 'silly' than 'scary' but it does have its eerie parts. For me, it's the lady's voice at the end ("Come back, come back" or whatever she says) -- creeps me out every time. :lol:
I absolutely HATE haunted houses (gore, blood, people jumping out at you) - I refuse to go to them. But, that's why I love the Haunted Mansion even more...it's spooky in a fun sort of way. But, I can see why kids would be slightly afraid at first (like I was) because you don't know what to expect and they do such a good job with the spooky exterior.

Yes, all kids are different (for those of you who don't have any)... I thought the little guy could handle it. I was on it as a kid and loved it... still do.
The therapy crack was a joke. We got off the ride, came outside and he looked at us and said "can I cry now?". We felt responsible, yes, not placing the blame anywhere else. Told him it was silly-scary and he's fine with it. Took him 2 more years to brave it again, though.
