<!--E.G., "Rated: R (Violence, Nudity, Language....)" -->
* Rated:  (not rated) (probably equivalent to an R for Violence, Profanity, Adult Content, Nudity, Sexual Situations)

Apparently there are some versions of the anthology available that do not include the (heavily edited) porn segment.

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* SSs__ (Two and a Half Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; includes very loose adaptations)

Might contain a faithful (if extremely low-budget) Lovecraft adaptation or two, mixed in with crude parodies and original stories of varying degrees of faithfulness to any sort of "Lovecraftian" spirit.

''Note:  This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''
