History changed one month in 1984 when two PG-rated classics were deemed too scary for kids.
In 1984, the movie industry would be changed forever in a way most of us don't think about anymore. In a one-month span, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Gremlins were both released to theaters. They were both massive successes, ending up just behind Ghostbusters as the top box office draws of the year. Steven Spielberg, who was the most powerful director in Hollywood during the decade, had a hand in both films, directing Temple of Doom and executive producing Gremlins.
'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' Was More Violent Than 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' In 1984, the movie rating system was a little simpler than it is today. There was the G rating for general audiences. Most of your animated kids films and Disney pictures fell under this. There was PG for Parental Guidance suggested.
'Gremlins' Was Not the Cute Kids Film Parents Thought It Would Be On June 8, just a few weeks after Temple of Doom arrived in theaters, Gremlins premiered. The film's marketing didn't show off the scary creatures, so when parents took their children to the movie, most expected something akin to another Spielberg film, E.T.
Steven Spielberg Helped Create the PG-13 Rating Movies had been pushing the boundaries more and more throughout the 70s and into the 80s. The time had come to do something to warn parents about films that were a little too dark and violent for kids. It was Steven Spielberg of all people who is credited for creating a new rating for films in between the wide gap of PG and R.
