Over the Garden Wall: parents' guide

Little actual violence: a creature wrecks a house during a chase, a few characters are knocked out, a tree is set ablaze, and a witch is killed and dissolves into smoke. Injuries are rare and never bloody.

No profanity. A police officer says 'darn it,' and characters trade old-fashioned insults such as 'dunce' and 'witless,' plus a threat to remove someone's tongue.

Wirt pines over a crush and frogs slow-dance. A silly song mentions pulling down someone's underwear, and in one scene a boy puts his hand on a girl in a way that makes her uncomfortable.

A tavern scene implies adults are drinking, and teens at a party joke that their drinks are legal and age-appropriate. Nothing stronger appears.

Steady creepiness rather than gore: a shadowy Beast with glowing eyes, skeletons crawling from graves, a girl possessed by a sharp-toothed spirit, lost souls turned into lantern fuel, a child turning into a tree, and near-drownings in icy water.
