Horror Movie Directors

George A. Romero is one of the most well known horror directors. His most famous film was Dawn of the Dead, which is arguably the most popular zombie film ever created.  Romero made many zombie films, including Night of the Living Dead and Day of the Dead. Romero is most famous for these zombie films. Many ideas that we have of a zombie come from Romero's thoughts. Because of this, Romero recieved the nickname of "Godfather of all Zombies".

Another successful horror movie director is Wes Craven. He is famous for movies like Scream, A Nightmare on Elm Street and The Hills Have Eyes, amongst many others. Craven is responsible for the likes of Freddy Krueger and Ghostface, the infamous masked killer in Scream.

Age Ratings

The majority of all horror movies created are age rated either a '18' or a '15'. This is because of themes and images that may be unsuitable for a younger audience. We gave our own horror movie an age certificate of '15', meaning that nobody under the age of 15 should view or buy the film. We chose '15' as it fitted the guidlines set.

• Theme - No theme is prohibited, provided the treatment is suitable to 15 year olds.
• Language - The may be frequent us of strong language, but the strongest terms will be acceptable onlywhere justified by the context.
• Nudity - Nudity may be allowed in a sexual context but without strong detail.
• Sex - Sexual activity may be poprtrayed but without strong detail.
• Violence - Violence may be strong but may not dwell on infliction of pain or injury.
• Horror - Strong threat and menace are permitted, but the strongest gore images are unlikely to be acceptable.
• Drugs - Drug taking may be shown but the film as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse.
