I am one of those people that says PG-13 instead of R really kills movies; but in this case I don't necessarily think it would hurt. It's been a few years since I read the original story but I don't remember it having much on screen gore or scenes of the old ones moving around. Everything happened off screen and the suspense was the best part. I think it would make a great psychological horror movie that relied on not showing anything beyond glimpses of the old ones.

I don't think there was much call for an R rating in the story to begin with. It was intellectual horror rather than gore. I'm thinking of the right story, right? It's the one where they're in Antarctica investigating the digsite and they gradually discover that these... things... aren't as dead and gone as they thought they were. It was the thin screeching and the Shubs themselves that were the horror. And you could make a plenty gross Shub with pg-13. It might actually be better to restrain yourself from indulging in pointless gore.
Pretty sure that they none of the characters cuss anyway. They may use some honest to god swears in the oldschool sense. But Lovecraft wasn't the fuckity fuck fuck kind of guy.
But it's been at least a year since I read that story, maybe I'm remembering the wrong one.

What was Pan's Labyrinth rated? That had a shit ton of violence and swearing and I think it was rated PG-13.

As odd as it may sound... PG-13 may actually promote the chances of duplicating the suspense horror of the original story without giving them the option to do cop out gore scenes.

I was under the impression that even suspenseful horror can be rated R just due to "being too scary" or some shit. Either way, I have faith in my boy Guillermo.

Yeah it should honestly be a tense psychological thriller IMO, more than an effects romp or gore fest or otherwise typical horror film. That movie Dagon did a good job I thought, but that was probably R with the titties and whatnot.
