Sex & Nudity

A woman is nude while taking a shower. The couples are having sex in the funhouse, brief nudity is shown. A woman is almost raped by the monster before stabbing him. The monster is given a hand job and he prematurely ejaculates. Nothing is shown but it is implied.

Violence & Gore

Light on violence and gore for a horror film. There is a strangling with a rope, the Conrad Straker character beats his deformed son. A man has his head chopped in with an axe. The monster is electrocuted to death. A woman is slashed with the monster's hand, blood is shown on his fingers. There is a small fight and the teen is beaten badly. He rams Straker, a silhouette's sword digging into his back and out of his gut. Straker is then shot repeatedly. A girl is impaled through the heart with a stake: blood pours from her mouth, but it turns out to be a magic trick.

Profanity

Very little use of profane language.

Teens repeatedly smoke pot. Fortune teller drinks booze.

A few scenes where villains appear suddenly and shockingly like other films. The monster is severly deformed and most will find him disturbing.
