U
Hotel Transylvania- 'Contains mild scary scenes and rude humour'
Monsters, INC.- 'Contains mild comic violence'
Both of these films contain characters that, in an 18 rated film, would be terrifying of portrayed in a different way. Monsters and Vampires used to be seen as things that were a horror cliché and now they're in films that can be seen in a universal rated film.
PG
Frankenweenie- 'Contains mild threat, scary scenes and one use of mild language'
Tim Burton's Corpse bride- 'Contains mild scary scenes'
Paranorman- 'Contains mild comic horror and violence, frightening sequences and innuendo'
Hocus Pocus- 'Contains mild language and violence'
The Nightmare Before Christmas- ' Contains scary scenes'
The Little Shop Of Horrors- 'Contains mild horror and comic violence'
These films certificate descriptions contain a lot of mild references and this will probably be because most of them are not animated anymore therefor making them appear more realistic to the audience. The U rated films are animated so that way children wont be relatively scared where as these films feature actual filmed footage that creates a sense of realism.
12/12A
The Woman In Black- 'Contains thematic material and violence/disturbing images'
The Others- 'Contains moderate horror'
Van Helsing- 'Contains nonstop creature action violence and frightening images'
Dark Shadows- 'Contains moderate violence, horror, gore, sex references and soft drug use'
Twilight- 'Contains some violence and a scene of sensuality'
Eight Legged Freaks- 'Contains moderate fantasy horror and sex references'
Red Riding Hood- 'Contains moderate fantasy violence, horror and sex'
All these films are non-animated which gives them a higher certificate. The Woman In Black was quite a confusing certificate because it claims it is a 12 here and a 15 here although I did go to watch it in the cinema and it was a 12. All these films contain conventions of horror films and this gives the certificate descriptions words such as 'violence' and 'gore'.
