Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: R (Violence, Profanity, brief Nudity, 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)
Not very "Lovecraftian", it the story about a mentally disturbed boy with creepy imaginary friends and a pit full of weird monsters in his back yard which he feeds people to. The monsters might be compared to Ghouls or some such.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
