Reply to comment by flippythemaster in TIL Poltergeist, which came out in 1982, was rated PG. This is despite not just the movie fitting perfectly into the horror genre, but also many adult themes including the smoking of marijuana and a deep dive into the occult. by duganaok
In the UK, the classification was:
U - Universal. Anyone can watch.
PG - Parental Guidance. Maybe some adult themes, situations or language.
15 & 18 - pretty self explanatory.
The 12 rating wasn’t introduced until 1989 and 12a (a bridge between PG and 12) in 2002.
In other words, growing up in the 80’s was wild. There’s a tonne of films I remember watching as a kid that I wouldn’t dream of showing to my daughter yet.

I remember watching Robocop when I was just 10. That was a wild ride.
