New age rating symbols will start popping up on Netflix from 31 October – just in time for youngsters to be warned away from any horror films they might be considering to celebrate Halloween.

The streaming giant will be the first platform to host the specially-designed symbols from the British Board of film Classification (BBFC), which will aim to provide a similarly consistent scheme to those seen at the cinema and on film packaging.
