What does the MPAA consider "bloody"
 
I was wondering. I've seen Freddy's blood switch from red to black, to yellow and perhaps other colors. I think monster blood is more easily accepted by the MPAA than if it was a human's.

What about zombies? I can't remember when the MPAA started it's rating system but why do you think it is that we don't see as many blood in recent zombie movies? They're not humans so it's not really violence, is it?

maybe its a combo of the 2. like if u look at some war/medieval type movies where they slashin each other with swords, theres hardly any blood. not even on the sword

maybe they weigh violence and gore differently...

i mean like more recent ones, troy, dragon heart, many others (cant think of any right now)

too many times hvae i seen them slice into people and hardly any blood on the sword. whereas in most horror movies someone could get just a fuckin pin prick and BAM the set is flooded.

dont' forget about Dracula: Dead and Loving It. Only funny part in the whole movie is when that guy from Wings staked that one chick

the MPAA considers anything good bloody

I think that if the film is rated PG13 that there is violence but you wont see any blood, and I think that the studios want to make films PG13 so they can appeal to a broader audience than an R rated movie, where there is a lot of blood. I dont think a movie has to be bloody or gorey to be good unless it is necessary to the story. I think it is kind of difficult to make a war film, be it WW2, Vietnam, or knights on a battlefield, without the addition of blood. A movie like Braveheart without the blood would not be enjoyable IMO, fighting on a battlefield with a long sword, would def. be a bloody fight.
