Is it acceptable even if the scary elements are only mild?

Mild: Heavy breathing, racing heart, screams or shouts, creepy looking characters, jump scares, ominous music and/or suspenseful gameplay.

heavy breathing, yes
racing heart beat, yes
screams or shouts, as long it isn’t too loud and too sudden, i guess so
creepy looking characters, not too creepy, maybe only like My Little Pony creepy
jumpscares, no.
ominous music is ok as long it isn’t to unnerving
as for suspenseful gameplay i think it depends

As long as you have a warning and I don’t think you should put all of it at the same time

Warnings are not allowed. If the content needs a warning then it isn’t allowed on the site.

(Exception for “load noise” or “flashing lights” warnings)

unless it’s things like loud noises or epilepsy
like appropriate for scratch but may annoy others

1. Yes, it's allowed.
2. Also allowed.
3. As long as it's not a jumpscare meant to disrupt or scare the audience, sure.
4. This is tricky. You're not allowed to put these, the closest you can get are glowing eyes.
5. NO. No jumpscares. They are NOT allowed.
6. Music is allowed, as long as it's NOT a jumpscare.
7. Also allowed, as long as it's not scary.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. As long as it isn’t a jumpscare or sounds like the character is in severe pain or danger,
4. Possibly Luigi’s mansion level of scary
5. No, absolutely not. Not even with warning. It can get you banned and non of us want that.
6. You can add scary music as long as it’s not too unsettling
7. As long as it doesn’t scare the audience too much. Same as #4, Luigi’s mansion level of scary.

Note: The only warning you can put on projects are epilepsy warnings and loudness warnings, since Scratch is a welcome community for all ages!

Hope this helps
