PG-13 Rated Horror Films

[Supermanowar]

Why are so many recent horror movies rated PG-13? Does the public crave watered-down, family friendly horror? I know I plan on never seeing one of these movies. What do you think?

Sometimes you want to watch a horror flick with your kids...

some people don't wanna see teenagers having pre-marital sex and then dying...they only wanna see boobies and then dying.

Indeed ticket sales but what's with the onslaught of horror movies these days anyhow? Seems every third movie is one. When was the last big animated flick?

Nope, just once!

What's the biggest market for horror flicks? Teenagers. Always has been.

Done correctly, a PG-13 movie can be pretty damn scary. The Ring was (my wife was freaked out for weeks) and I hear The Grudge was pretty scary too.

While I don't know which movie it was exactly, I know that I have heard the f-word in a PG-13 twice before. And I am talking about the real thing, not a half-way.

PG-13 allows the widest possible audience.
