Poltergeist was notable, actually, because a lot of people were outraged that the film got a PG when it so clearly seemed to be "R" material--it was scary as all hell and fairly graphic and disgusting at moments. Raiders of the Lost Ark got similar reactions from some audience members.
Finally the PG-13 rating was created for those films that weren't quite "R" material but a bit intense for a PG...leading up to the release of "Dreamscape," the first PG-13 rated film.
