There were actually two movies that resulted in the decision of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to create a new rating system as the content was deemed too frightening for children of a certain age covered by the regular PG rating, and one of the movies was Joe Dante’s Gremlins.
The other film was Stephen Spielberg’s Indiana Jones And The Temple of Doom due to frightening imagery, which made the release of 1984’s Red Dawn the first film to officially carry the new rating that launched a new era of PG-13 family blockbusters.

1979 saw the first adaptation of The Amityville Horror, which was based on the book from Jay Anson that chronicled the Lutz family’s ordeals at the seemingly haunted house located in Amityville, New York, which has inspired numerous sequels, spin-offs and a 2005 reboot.
The original house was the site of the brutal murders of the DeFeo family by Ronald DeFeo Jr., where alleged paranormal activities then led to the sudden departure of the Lutz family and a number of paranormal investigations, including one with the Warrens that was seen in 2016’s The Conjuring 2.
What Was Freddy Krueger’s Serial Killer Nickname Before He Died?
While the name of Freddy Krueger has become more iconic than the title of the film he first appeared in, which was 1984’s A Nightmare on Elm Street from director Wes Craven, though the character has another in-continuity name from his living days as a serial killer when he was known as the Springwood Slasher.
However, that moniker wasn’t specifically used until 2003’s Freddy vs. Jason when Freddy Krueger’s voiceover revealed his nickname. “The Springwood Slasher, that’s what they called me. My reign of terror was legendary.”
What Type Of Plant Was Inside The Locket From Rosemary’s Baby?
The classic horror Rosemary’s Baby was released in 1968 and followed Mia Farrow’s Rosemary and her husband Guy (John Cassavetes) as they moved into a new building with a dark history that leads to strange occurrences and an unwanted pregnancy after a night filled with hellish visions.
Rosemary’s off-putting and pushy neighbors become overly-concerned with her pregnancy and gift her with a foul-smelling necklace filled with tannis root, which was actually meant for the film’s satanic rituals.
Where Was The Blair Witch Project Filmed?
Most of The Blair Witch Project was shot in Seneca Creek State Park in Montgomery County, which is located in Maryland. A few of the other scenes were filmed in the town of Burkittsville.
The park is pretty big, being around 6,300 acres of public land. Besides getting lost and eaten by the Blair Witch, you can kayak, see Clopper Lake, hike the trails, play golf, or visit a playground.
What Is The Name Of The Goat That Played Black Phillip In The VVitch?
This real name is Charlie! He is happily retired on a farm in Northern Ontario and is blissfully unaware of his cultural status as Satan from The VVitch.
Apparently, working with the goat was a bit difficult. Director Robert Eggers said, “If we wanted him to be doing something violent, he wanted to go to sleep. If he was supposed to be standing still, he was running around like a madman.”
In Get Out, What Does Chris Use To Not Get Hypnotized?
The answer is cotton. He is cuffed to a chair where he is forced to go through auditory hypnosis. He does something very clever though, he picks the cotton out of a hole in the chair he is strapped to.
This is one of Jordan Peele’s many amazing works of racial symbolism in the film, so it is worth remembering.
What Was The Concept Of It Follows Based On?
The concept was actually based on a recurring nightmare the director, David Robert Mitchell, had. It was a nightmare of being stalked by a predator that would constantly just walk towards him.
The director himself said, “Yeah. Honestly, the basic idea, the main point of it, came from a recurring nightmare I had when I was a kid. In the nightmare, I was followed by a monster, and I instinctively knew it was bad.” According to Mitchell, the sexual aspect of the monster and passing it on came later in his life. So it was a combination of inspiration from his childhood and adulthood.
Netflix Once Accidentally Placed What Horror Movie In Its LGBTQ Section?
It was The Babadook! So if you are ever wondering why you see the monster from that movie depicted on shirts at a PRIDE festival or why you see its image on the internet with rainbow flags, this is why.
It is a joke and a meme. It has gotten some backlash though, as some LGBT groups hate that the monster is depicted as a PRIDE symbol since it is well . . . a monster!
Who Was It That Sued The Producers Of The Conjuring And Why?
There are actually two correct answers. First is Norma Sutcliffe and Gerald Helfrich, who own the house that inspired the film. Since The Conjuring, their farmhouse was subject to fans trespassing on their property.
The second correct answer is Gerald Brittle. Brittle is an author and sued Warner Bros. for copying his 1980 book, The Demonologist, which describes the true story of Ed and Lorraine Warren. The lawsuit brought up interesting questions such as “Are ghosts actually real?” However, the conclusion was not quite as interesting.
What Film Starred An Actor Who Actually Did Not Know He Acting For A Horror Movie?
It was The Shining and the actor was Danny Lloyd. Being six years old at the time of the film, Lloyd was actually led to believe that he was acting for a family drama in a hotel rather than for a scary story. After the film actually came out, he still didn’t know for a while as he just watched incredibly edited footage that took out all the scary parts.
It was not until Lloyd became a teenager when everything then clicked into place. However, not all child actors were sheltered from the genre. The famous spooky twin sisters actually knew what was going on. Lloyd just got some special treatment.
What Is The Name Of The Demon In The Exorcist?
Its name is Pazuzu. If you are very clever, you may have also known that Pazuzu was loosely based on a Babylonian mythical figure. In the film, you see the Amulet of Pazuzu get unearthed in an archeological dig in Iraq.
In the original film, it does not go very far into detail about the demon. You learn more if you watch the other movies, but none are as good as the original.
To This Date, What Is The Highest-Grossing Steven King Film Adaptation?
It is the 2017 remake of It. It made $327.5 million dollars. This should be no surprise, as the trailer was really scary and it pulled on our nostalgic heartstrings. So it attracted both those who have seen the original films and new horror fans.
Pennywise never looked more horrifying than in the trailer with him talking to George from the sewer. Horror fans everywhere were in awe of the creepiness. The movie was so successful that It: Chapter Two also made the second-highest at $211.3 million.
What Number Keeps Appearing In Us?
The number is 11:11. Twins and doppelgangers are of great importance in the film, and the numbers follow the theme. So when do these numbers appear? Some examples include a homeless man holding a sign that says “Jeremiah 11:11,” football teams scoring 11-11 on TV, the Wilsons hearing the news on channel 11, rabbits ears look like 11, and even the tethered’s weapon of choice is scissors which are basically two ones that cut.
As for Jeremiah 11:11, it is the verse “Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.”
