During Halloween the thoughts of children turn to pillow cases stuffed with candy and creepy characters you wouldn’t want to meet at the jungle gym alone. Creepy, unlike evil or mean is a much more elusive characteristic that is commonly an undercurrent of other more explicit behavior.

E-Score Character Kids to look at which characters kids 6-12 find the creepiest.
