If they really enjoyed Kill Doctor Lucky, then they will probably enjoy this other Clue-like game: Mystery of the Abbey. All the more so if one or more of the players enjoyed the movie (and/or the novel)
The Name of the Rose. Note, however, that, like Kill Doctor Lucky, that Mystery of the Abbey is a more sophisticated and involved game than Clue.
Here's an image of the box back of Mystery of the Abbey...

Not only is that game indeed too dark for younger family members, but I hear it isn't a good game, to begin with. (Me, I've never played it.) The comment about it I hear most is: "Novel and darkly amusing theme, but the actual gameplay involving it is mediocre at best."

Me neither, and I generally enjoy any kind of board game that is rich with theme and atmosphere.
Something else to note: If your group consists of non-roleplaying gamers, board games like Betrayal at House on the Hill will likely go over like a lead balloon. (Not that that was me and my group's problem with this particular board game.)
