Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: TV-14 (Violence, mild Profanity, mild Adult Content)
Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)
Only "Lovecraftian" in the Call of Cthulhu RPG sense of a party of paranormal detectives investigating a new (typically supernatural) urban legend every week. Among their more "Lovecraftian" cases are an investigation involving "the Desert Squid", and a case involving a cult of mutant, cannibal homeless people living in city sewers.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
