there are very few non r-rated horror films.
To keep a PG rating it's pandering to the kids. its not just about the blood, the language or the sex,... its about a little bit of all 3. What would i find compelling about something geared to a kid ? i can think of 2 or 3 decent ones .. Lady in White comes to mind ... uhmm ok i can think of one. as a rule i'll avoid a 'horror film' if it doesnt at least have an R rating. I prefer movies about adults .. acting like adults.

A good horror movie plays on fears
The Fog which was/is a good film has next to no gore Some films need it... it all depends on what you are trying to depict If you are going to kill a whore in a whore house, there is no point in expecting no/little nudity or no blood If you have a film where it plays on you inner fear such as Se7en, Halloween, Silence of the Lambs etc then gore is a secondry thing

I just don't see a need for it at all, zombie films and others like it that actually need it sure but if it's nothing like that then I just don't see the need for it, it's not scary.

Once again, Se7en. Greatest horror movie of all time, very little blood or gore or nudity.

Some pg-13 movies pull it off, but theu rely on what all good horror movies rely on: (and i have said this a thousand times before.....)
Atmosphere. The Ring was pg 13. it didnt need gore (no pun intended), or swearing, or nudity, and still managed to be an extremely effective movie. The scariest parts in the exorcist could easily make it into a tv viewing of it, because it is "Your mother sucks cocks in hell, karras!" that is scary, it's the moaning, the death face, reagan's head rotaing 180 degrees, her face morphoing just before grabbing the psychologit's package, so on. Jesus, the scariest part of most horror video games is the sound, not the action. I haoppen to think that an R rating is necesarry for most of them though. Se7en misses way too much of it's atmosphere if swearing is missing. how do you shotw the dirty underside of society without it? And the guy who is forced to kill the hooker? How much impact would that scene have had if he was freaking out and said "He made me screw her!" blah.... Or John Doe's speeches at the end? Honestly, without the word fuck, what he said would not have had the same impact or show his disgust well enough (Even though it is kevin spacey...) What would alien be without gore? That movie is alos all about atmosphere, but ther chestburster scene required gore. That is a good, effective use of gore. it was shocking and unexpected. In a lot of other movies (puppet master anyone?) it is there as the POINT of the movie. it didnt push the story foward, it was the sdtory.
