Parents guide

A veterinarian mentions a pregnant cow.

A deer is almost run over. We see one of his legs bleeding briefly, but that's it.

The death of Jessica's mother is brought up several times, though it never says what the cause was. Mrs. McFarland, the town recluse, had a husband who died but this is only implied very briefly and probably wouldn't be picked up by younger children.

Jessica chases three boys out of a barn, wielding a scythe.

Jessica's father nearly shoots Prancer with a gun.

Jessica is knocked unconscious.

John shoots his gun off in the air to scare a bunch of children.

Jessica's afraid that a butcher might "cut up Prancer into little pieces" but her dad tells her that he won't.

'Oh my God' is said three times. 'Heck' is said twice. 'Thank God' is said twice. 'Darnedest' is said twice. 'Shut Up' is said twice.

An article is briefly seen in a newspaper about drug-related deaths on the rise.

A child falls out of a tree and is knocked unconscious. There is no blood.

Cloris Leachman's character can also be scary in certain scenes.

Jessica is walking alone in the woods a few times after dark, which might have a "creepy" feel to it.
