The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.
Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

Mild to strong sexual innuendo is heard and cleavage is seen, including the mother's madonna pointy boob costume, which she adjusts quite visually during a halloween concert.

One of the witches' outfits shows ample cleavage and she makes several references to boys and kissing.

There is talk of the main character's virginity as it is a requirement to bring the witches back to life.

For Halloween, a man is dressed as a motorcycle cop and his date is dressed presumably as a hooker, though nothing is viewable and she is completely covered.

Violence & Gore

Some very mild zombie gore. Severed fingers, and a severed head.

The witches kill children by sucking their souls out of them. We see them succeed in doing so once, early in the film.

The witches are hanged in the beginning of the film.

One act of violence involves the witches pushed into a pottery kiln, locked in and burned (You see the flames consuming them but it is not very graphic).

Bullies repeatedly intimidate the main character with threats of physical violence.

A cat is run over by a bus. However, it re-inflates and comes back to life.

Profanity

Several punctuated uses of the word "Damn", "Hell", "Virgin", "sucked" and "Yabos" during a discussion of a teen girl's breasts.

Mild alcohol usage

Some intense scenes involving witch craft, execution, child abduction and a scene where the cat is killed (but comes back to life)

The witches kill a child by sucking her soul out of her.
