Keeping in mind that I didn't find Penny Dreadful particularly scary - though definitely gruesome and sad and uncomfortable - I would say no, this isn't especially scary. This is definitely not a horror story, though it does feature a ghost. The ghost is a funny, well-drawn character (although I'd quibble that her language and behavior come off as too modern at times). This is a quasi-historical paranormal romance, with the emphasis on romance. No jump-scares. Hope that helps.
