Because if it was rated PG-13 people would have bitched and said it would have ruined the series. ;)

I agree. I think the only reason is cause its connected to the Evil Dead movies. But its so completely different, its a total comedy/fantasy. Not horror at all.

There's some horror in the movie.

Marching skeletons, flesh eating books, the little Ashes, evil Ash, demons... it may not be "scary" but the movie has at least a foot inside the boundries that define "horror".

So then by you saying that, that would mean that anything with horror themes would be filed under the horror genre. Which would mean, something with ghosts in it would be defined as horror. So, with that said, would you say that all the "A Christmas Carol" movies would be horror then? Because last time I checked it wasn't. Just because there are horror themes in a movie, does not make the movie horror. Therefor IMO Army of Darkness = Fantasy/comedy.

There are plenty of horror elements in Army of Darkness; blood, guts, chainsaws, shotguns, skeletons, a posessed girlfriend, demons, etc... Not just "ghosts".

If you can't see it, too bad for you, because it's a great comedy/horror film.

"Duh, so demons mean ghosts and ghosts are in a Christmas Carol..."

Have you ever read the original Christmas Carol? It's a lot darker than that holiday dreck you watch on TBS on Christmas Eve before you put on your footie PJs and hit the sack to wait for Santa.

Don't be an idiot.
