Parents guide

A teen boy says to a teen girl, "First, I'll rip your clothes off. Then you'll rip my clothes off. Then we'll rip Lindsey's clothes off." Lindsey is a 9 year old girl.

A boy and a girl shown kissing and cuddling go upstairs and offscreen. Soon after, the girl's breasts and nipples are seen from the side as she brushes her hair topless. During a violence scene, her breasts are shown briefly and then again for several seconds when she is lying on the floor face up.

A young woman spills melted butter on her pants and takes her clothes off to clean them. Her back is shown (nothing inappropriate was seen) for the rest of the movie she is wearing an oversized button down while her clothes are in the wash. Her legs are shown.

A young woman is topless in bed after implied sex. Breasts and nipples seen. In a later scene, her breasts and nipples are again visible when she is calling someone after she was chased by a killer.

A woman's breasts and nipples are visible while she is being strangled.

A man and a woman have sex under sheets. Thrusting is barely seen but it's clear on what they are doing. This scene is 5 seconds tops.

A woman's dead body is seen stashed in a closet. Her night gown is open. Breasts and nipples briefly visible.

For a slasher movie, the violence is rather tame and mild in impact. Most of the killings occur offscreen, and blood is pretty mild. Very brief.

One man gets nailed to a wall with a kitchen knife

A knitting needle is lodged into a person's neck.

A woman gets her throat slit in a car.

A nurse gets assaulted by the killer when he steals her car.

Little to no blood and gore.

A woman's in the closet as a guy breaks the closet door. The girl stabs him in the chest (no blood).

A man's bloody corpse is shown on the side of a road. Blood is shown on his face and head.

The Shape strangles a dog to death (we only see the dog's legs starting to limp as he is held in the air and hear whimpering).

Very tame cussing.

Some PG-13 swearing.

3 uses of d-mn 1 use of godd-mn 4 uses of sh-t 2 uses of a-s.

A woman is shown smoking a cigarette.

Two girls share a joint as they drive.

A girl and a boy drink beer in a car and are later shown smoking cigarettes while in bed.

The film's atmosphere is incredibly terrifying

The iconic score soundtrack heightens the intensity of many scenes.

Very scary. Characters walk by and Michael Myers is behind them. Although Michael Myers walks very slowly he still manages to catch up to his prey.

Out of the big 4 slashers (others being The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street), Halloween is the tamest and least graphic.

There are some jumpscares (characters show up out of nowhere, sometimes it's not even Michael Myers)
