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

* Rated: Unrated (perhaps equivalent to PG for Violence and mild Nudity in some versions)

===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)

Perhaps vaguely similar to Lovecraft's less outre work, such as "[[Into the Vault (fiction)]]", but generally non-Lovecraftian otherwise...

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