Horror
The monsters look scary. Some have sharp claws, teeth, horns, and multiple heads. One of them has a centipede-like design with wings.
Two characters work together to scare humans. They employ tactics that create a tense and uneasy atmosphere for the adults. One scene ends with one of them letting off a loud and terrifying roar.
Monsters sneak into children’s bedrooms and try to scare them. Although we don’t often see it, we do hear their screams. In one scene, monsters compete to scare a child, but the child is later revealed to be a test doll.
Violence
Characters sometimes slap and bite each other. They also sometimes throw objects at one another or get hurt by objects. These actions are often done to be funny.
Content that may disturb
Characters run across a tunnel filled with toxic spiky mines. Any body part that touches it instantly and painfully swells up. We see most of them swelled up and limp painfully to the finish line. This is shown comedically.
