10 Movies You Won't Believe Were Rated PG

2. Dracula Has Risen From His Grave

Hammer Films is directly responsible for reigniting the monster genre during the 1950s due to their movies' gore and sexually provocative scenes. Hammer's most successful series was the reboot of Dracula, with Christopher Lee playing the vampiric Count.

As Hammer became a household name, the MPAA got concerned that violent films were becoming too accessible for younger audiences. After Jack Valenti became the president of MPAA in 1966, he made massive changes to the film rating system.

In 1968, the first film the MPAA rated with their new system was Dracula Has Risen from the Grave. Since the film contains half-naked buxom women, Dracula being impaled in the heart with a stake and a cross, you'd naturally assume it would receive an R-rating.

For some reason, Dracula Has Risen from the Grave was rated G! Just to be clear; this is a horror movie! It has not one, but two impalement scenes. Why did the MPAA change the film rating system if they were going to give monster flicks the tamest rating possible? The rating was eventually changed to PG, which obviously isn't much better.
