► A man and a boy put a flaming bag of dog excrement on a man's porch and ring his doorbell; the man comes out and puts a bucket over it, steps on the bucket and an explosive in the bag blows up throwing him back through his front door. Several stink bombs, firecrackers and other explosives are thrown into a man's house (he is frightened but does not appear harmed).
► Two large teen boys pound on the hood of a car where four other teens are sitting, the driver starts the car and speeds backward slamming into a restaurant, the large rooster mascot on the top of the restaurant falls onto the roof of the car and a hook that's holding it breaks through the roof of the car near the occupants (please see the Sex/Nudity category for more details).
► A man grabs a boy and drags him into his house where he locks him in the bathroom and calls the boy's sister asking for $400.

A young boy runs around a town alone on Halloween night, he gets into the car of a young man (whom he does not know) and they do mischief at a woman's apartment; he gets into another man's car and ends up at the man's house, and the car that he is hiding in is towed away.
► A teen girl pulls the mask off a man dressed as Spider Man thinking that he is her brother and the man makes a remark that implies he was doing something inappropriate. A man steals a pumpkin container with candy in it from a boy and walks away with it.

CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
