Do the kids get to see the movie or what?

What is shown as a final product is absolutely not what it looks like on set. A film has to be edited, sound effects and special effects added, cut and pasted together to form a cohesive narrative.
The set has dozens of people around, managing the lights, cameras and the set. What looks like a dark set is not going to very dark to the actors on set. There will be no scary music or even sounds while filming – these are all added after filming.
In most cases, a 5 minute “scary scene” is made out of possibly dozens of short takes spliced together. The actors are coached on where they need to move and how to react for each cut. Then they break and reset the scene for the next take. What is 5 minutes in the film could take hours or days of scene by scene cuts and takes. Then, of course, there will be multiple takes perhaps different angles etc.
