I watched an interview with Gaiman in which he said Coraline scares adults but not kids. Tim Send a noteboard - 18/09/2010 12:41:40 PM
Apparently in adults it brings back all sorts of repressed childhood memories; children don't have repressed childhood memories because they're too busy actually being children.

—Nous disons en allemand : le guerre, le mort, le lune, alors que 'soleil' et 'amour' sont du sexe féminin : la soleil, la amour. La vie est neutre.

—La vie ? Neutre ? C'est très joli, et surtout très logique.
Here's a link to a transcript, though I'm sure I originally saw a video.
