Max, you are absolutely right, it sounds dreadfull. but as a child, i thought it was lovely to be about to sleep in a tree, rocked by the wind, and as for down will come baby, cradle and all.. well, that okay, if i fall, i am still snug in my bed.. it not like i fell out of bed, and besides i did that all the time, and it usually only woke me, it didn't hurt.

and as jackie says, kids don't mind gory things the way adults do.. and it last well into young adult hood. most adults aren't interested in horror movies, but teens are! maybe something about imagined horrors as a way of learning coping skills? (and adults, know all to well, real horrors, and don't think them entertaining.)
