all right, the answer from someone who has worked in a number of video stores, and now works in the film industry...
It's in Horror because the first two movies in the set are in horror and it has walking skeletons and zombie like things in it. Video stores don't put a lot of research into their filing systems, and they figure if you found the first two movies in the series there, you'll look for the third one there.
The 'R' rating is entirely arbitrary, as are all movie ratings. How movies are rated is based on the feelings of the people on the board after watching the movie. If you don't like the rating you got, you can make changes and resubmit, or resubmit without changing and try to wear them down with your arguments. Standards have changed-- there are older movies that have full nudity in them that got a PG rating. I'm told one of the things they currently look at is use of the "f-word". You can use it once as an expletive and get a PG13, but if you use it to describe the act, it's an R. In other words, you can say "f*ck you" but not "f*ck me". Army's R rating is just based on the opinions of the board members at the time.
