Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: (not rated) (perhaps equivalent to a TV-MA for over-the-top gore and comedic Violence, Profanity, Adult Content, etc.)
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)
As someone once said when listing this as "Lovecraftian": "Todd and the Book of Pure Evil is also centered around a Necronomicon-like book" (not to mention the wacky monsters summoned with the book).
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
