However, I find them very sad since this is probably just a small glimpse into the hell that the kids life is living with those parents.
I understand that there are some kids who like (or love) being scared - these kids do not look like that type.

um.... there are members of my family who have done this type of thing too, and have done it to each others kids (well, not necessarily to the length in the 'the monsterrrr!' video (maybe once or twice, with laughing in between... and no kids here although that means nothing in the end in this case)... but they are all parents who love their children and don't emotionally torture them on a day to day basis. It's called having a little fun and interacting with your kids a little differently. Gives the kids a little fun even though they don't know it yet.
Hell, I was watching rated R slasher flicks and horror movies by time I turned 9 or 10... I'm neither traumatized nor an ax murderer. Although psychologists would love to delve into my mind, it's not due to anything I may have been exposed to during adolescence or my youngin' years.
Hell, my aunt has a bribing photo of when they pulled down my swimmin shorts and snapped a photo of my bare ass. Was embarrassed as hell at the time (early teen years me thinks) but now I wouldn't care and would laugh it off.
I think in the end it just helps kids grow up in all honesty. Might make them start thinkin about how real (read: imagined) all the 'scary' things really are... if not now, maybe some time down the road, possibly earlier than they normally would have.
