    good article on PG-13 horror

    http://www.dreadcentral.com/node/26737

    good article. And I like the fact their realistic about it. A PG-13 horror flick can be good. It's the reasons behind it that make it fail or succeed. I agree with what they say here.

    If done right (good story and atmosphere) a PG-13 horror movie can be good, Poltergeist is one example. A horror movie doesn't absolutely need to have huge amounts of blood and nudity in it to be an effective horror film, although I do prefer if it does.

    And just because its rated R doesn't automatically mean that there is going to be nudity and tons of blood. Exorcist 3 for example, rated R yet has minimal blood and no nudity. Plus alot horror movies are getting slapped with an R because its deemed "to intense for a younger audience."

    The article itself wasn't good as it was fairly redundant, they didn't say anything or point anything out that we didn't already know.

    PG-13 movies are great, if they are PG-13 from the get go. Films that should be R rated but are trimmed down (fucked up) by the powers that be so it fits under the PG-13 rating are the bad ones.

    Don't like PG-13 horror flicks, as they don't contain anything I enjoy in a flick.

    1408 is a great example of a good PG-13 horror film, overall most PG-13 horror movies that come out nowadays are for marketing purposes only (such as Prom Night) and they suck.

    Well, there are also a lot of R rated horror movies that should've been PG-13. Mostly with foreign films though.

    The Orphanage - That seriously feels very PG-13, but it got an an R rating for like 3 seconds of a disturbing image. Lame.

    The Eye - (the original). Rated R for disturbing images. It wasn't THAT disturbing.

    Hide and Seek - bones and two ladies in a bloody bathtub. Not worth the R rating.

    Wind Chill - I don't get this one. Frostbite? Come on!

    The Blair Witch Project - I guess the language was really strong, but in terms of violence - nothing!

    Open Water - naked chick and lots of cussing. No gore and violence though.

    I totally forgot they gave that flick that rating. Yet another reason I rarely pay attention to ratings.

    So neither of you like the older horror movies from the 20s-60s?

    They are talking about the newer PG-13 movies like the article states.
    Plus PG-13 wasn't around at that time.

    I know what they were talking about, but Steelba said he doesn't like PG-13 horror flicks in general and you agreed with him. Do you guys not like the classics (I know there was no PG-13, but a lot of the older stuff was rated G or PG) or is it just new, PG-13 horror that you don't like?

    I don't consider anything under 18A to be a horror movie. It's called horror for a reason. PG13 horror movies should really be called mild thrillers. I will say that the ONLY PG13 movie that scared me to date is The Others (2001) with Nicole Kidman.

    I like some classics. Creature Black Lagoon, Nosferatu, Dracula are good.
    Never liked the Wolfman or Frankenstein series as much as others.
    But Carnival of Souls is on my top ten list.

    To sum it up I hope that we are talking about new PG-13 movies.
