Crystal Lake: parents' guide

Graphic slasher kills across the season: a throat slit, a face sliced off with a machete down to bone, a girl's mother beaten and left to die in a deep fryer, corpses fed to a bear, and a father's skull crushed. No sexual violence.

Two reviews of the premiere each heard several f-words (one counted four) and a dozen or more s-words, plus "bitch" and "ass," and one says every episode is full of swearing. Common Sense noted only a mouthed f-word.

Teen counselors make out and have sex in a shed while a little girl watches through the window; adults also have implied sex. Nudity is limited to bare backs and shoulders and two naked corpses. An explicit erotic passage is read aloud.

Teens drink and smoke, a young girl is given alcohol and drugs and later takes a large dose of LSD, a memorial turns into a drug-fueled gathering, and adults drink beer. Pamela is put on mood stabilizers.

Sustained horror: a child's drowning as he calls for his mother, jump scares, a corpse that seems to rise, a boy seizing and foaming at the mouth, and a hidden room of dead babies and children from medical experiments.
