Released in 1972, the campy horror anthology movie Tales from the Crypt was a series of loosely connected scary shorts which went on to spawn the very R-rated smash hit HBO anthology series of the same name in the late eighties,
However, upon its initial release, the original movie itself was actually a PG film. It's quite an achievement when the film is largely true to the over-the-top but nonetheless creepy and often gory tone of the EC Comics its inspiration was drawn from.

If that's not unsuitable for kids, it's hard to tell what is.
