That page's description says it's for spooky but not scary works (the page quote is from WesternAnimation/CountDuckula and the image is WesternAnimation/RubyGloom). However, a lot of the examples are written like it's for kids' horror media. I think we should clean up SpookyKidsMedia to match its description and use this for the horror stuff.

Problems currently facing this page:
* It's possibly redundant with SpookyKidsMedia. That page's description says it's for spooky but not scary works (the page quote is from WesternAnimation/CountDuckula, for an example)
* I'm worried people might use it to make kids stuff they like seem darker than it really is, a la NightmareFuel and WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids. This has already happened to SpookyKidsMedia a little bit.
Other notes:
* I've haven't actually read or watched a lot of the works listed here, I just found them on the wiki. If any of them aren't actually horror, tell me and I'll remove it.
