Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of horror violence, terror, frightening images, sensuality, some teen smoking and language

A teenage boy with binoculars checks out a teenage girl undressing (no nudity is seen, just underwear) Frankenstien's monster accidently takes a photo of a teenage girl next door undressing (no nudity is seen).

A climactic plot point involves the use of a virgin for a spell. The teenage sister of one of the leads ends up confessing that she is not a virgin. The 5 year old sister is used instead b/c she is a virgin

A kid mentions that the teenage girl lets guys "touch her tits".

The kids have an ongoing argument regarding whether or not wolfman has genitals. A boy kicks the wolfman in the testicles and exclaims in surprise "Wolfman's got nards!?!"

This film is actually quite violent in some places: A werewolf is (literally) blown into bloody pieces (after he attacks a boy and his father) and then pulls his parts back together, a swamp creature has a bloody hole blown through his chest by a shotgun after he strangles some policemen, a car is blown up by dynamite(with someone in it) by Dracula, then the survivor fires bullets at him, we see 2 vampiresses get shot in the heart by a bow and arrow (blood is seen) and another getting stabbed in the heart by a wooden steak, some mild slapstick violence involving Frankenstien's monster and the kids, a man storms into a police station throwing a violent tantrum and eventually is shot by police, later he comes back as a werewolf and strangles someone (suggested bite), Dracula is impaled on a fence and then gets stabbed with a stake in the heart before being sucked into a vortex. . Some skeletal corpses pop out of the ground. The Mummy character is skeletal and corpsey looking.

Some rude (suggestive) comments made by the kids, a few mild profanities like s**t, d*mn, h*ll, b**ch.

A kid refers to women as "Skaggs", 2 teenage boys refer to another character as a "faggot" twice, the regular kids talk about someone being a "homo". A kid calls his friend "buttlove".

Not profanity, but the kid Horace is often referred to as "Fat Kid" and teased about his weight

The oldest member of the group: Rudy, smokes cigarettes in some scenes. One of the kids dads often smokes.

The monsters might scare little ones, the last 15 minutes of the film might be intense for some.
