==Ratings==
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===

* Rated: (not rated) (perhaps equivalent of a TV-MA for Violence and mild Adult Content?)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

Overall, this series had only a few vaguely "Lovecraftian" moments, but there were a few stories that did work on that level, with weird monsters, alternate dimensions, bizarre hallucinatory dreamlnds, and hat sort of thing; see the suggested episodes for some of the more memorable examples.

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