It's a PG-13 event. The gore might extend into rated R territory but that is the only thing. The sex and the language is all PG-13.
IMO the only thing rated PG 13 at the event is B&T... The event as a whole is rated PG.

In reply to Capacity:
They also only had 7 houses but they are bringing back 8 because (at least for one reason) that's the standard Universal is held up to nowadays. People were shocked when there were only 7 houses at the event, regardless of the reason why.
In my opinion, moving scarezone sets from backstage to the park just seems rather doable. Very doable, actually. They've done it before roaming scarezones were implemented (marvel island 2002) and it makes the event 1,000 times better. HUGE mistake to bring back the hordes.
I think we misunderstand the notion of what PG-13 means. Episode III is rated PG-13. Super 8 is PG-13. This is similar to theme park attractions. T2-3D is rated PG-13. Just because HHN is "less gory" than other events, doesn't make it a "PG" event. In fact, if you put some of the scenes from many of the houses into movies, they'd be rated R. No question.
But that's what's so preposterous. As Jakemeister pointed out, in terms of language and sexuality Halloween Horror Nights has been embarrassingly PG13 the past few years - but in terms of gore, it's definitely in the R territory (and even then, it's not as intense as it used to be - look up any of the Body Collectors houses, for example). This is the event that had the Vampyr houses (which, if I'm not mistaken, had some sort of... um... "trouser kiss gone wrong" show sequence?) and the scare actors in Creatures! making comments about exploded condoms.
To give you an idea of the differences in content between Hollywood and Orlando's events in recent years: Hollywood's SAW house featured the frozen, naked woman scene from SAW III - it's chilling (...sorry) and didn't hold back on the grotesqueness, nudity and all. The syringe sequence, one of the most iconic SAW traps (from the second film), was featured front and center in Hollywood. Any scene of that sort of intensity or nudity was omitted from Orlando's house. Another great example, this one (in my opinion) even more disturbing, is a difference in The Walking Dead attractions - Hollywood featured the extremely memorable "God Forgive Us" set seen on the show, while Orlando got "Save Us." Figure out how that decision went.
It's right in line with the typical and dangerously flawed, Americanized notion that showing horrific violence is relatively okay, but saying a naughty word or even referencing sex or (god forbid) any religious theme is taboo.

Sounds like something out west..
Octobers Fade I believe will be there
Well, I was there. I have live tweets of the entire thing, but not sure if it's okay to post the account (it isn't my personal.) All in all it was a very well done, fan-targeted event that leaves me optimistic for the program's future (and cynical in some other ways).
Eh, I say go ahead and post it. :thumbs:
