- Children Beware! (2020) is the first book-length study of the history and cultural meaning of the PG-13 rating, and its relationship to the controversial cycle of children’s horror films (1980-1997). Through collecting and analysing a wide range of primary archival materials from critical reception, production histories, promotional materials, regulation, and representations, the book argues that the children’s horror trend represents a shift in American attitudes towards the emergence of pre-adolescent childhood and the boundaries of the horror genre.
