It's that time of year when ads for horror movies and TV shows are everywhere, including at times when children might be watching.

When NPR put out a call for adults whose kids have gotten scared by horror movie trailers, one dad said he became a remote control "ninja" every time they watched sports. A mom said she bought tickets to see the car racing movie Gran Turismo with her 9-year-old. It's pretty tame, but the theater showed a trailer for the horror film Five Nights at Freddy's beforehand.

Even when you're at home, all it takes is a few seconds of gore to scare a child.
