SAUGUS, Mass. -- Parents and kids headed to the new animated movie “Megamind” left a movie theatre in Revere, Mass. shocked.

What they thought was going to be a G-rated movie ended up being a gory horror flick.

Children who were at Showcase Cinemas to see the Dreamworks cartoon in instead saw the horror movie "Saw 3-D." Parents said when the previews came on they started to worry because the previews were a little advanced for children.

They never expected the gory and violent horror film "Saw."

The children were told to cover their eyes in the scenes of murder and mutilation played for several minutes before the movie theater corrected the problem.

Theatre operators realized the mistake and the correct movie, “Megamind,” was put on, but parents said the damage was already done and their children are still shaken by it.

“My son came and slept with us and we thought we had gotten past that years ago. He said that he had a few nightmares,” said Dolph Rau, an upset father. “Again, all that I would like to see come out of this is that its not going to happen again.”

The children were given one free ticket as a result of the mix up, but the Rau family’s 7-year-old son told them that he does not want to see a movie again for a very long time.

The parents will also sue the mattress company, on the fact that the bed's not comfortable for three people.

Thats why I'm starting my kids out by watching horror movies. This way if that ever happens they will be able to sleep in their own beds.

What sort of moron parent just sits there while the credit of Saw comes up on the screen and does not walk the kid out and explain to the manager what is playing?

They just sat there thinking it was going morph into Megamind?

Well, if it's like the rest of the Saw movies, the credits don't actually roll until someone dies a gory death. But still, knowing you're supposed to be seeing an animated film and yet sitting there watching a live action one should have been enough of a clue.

Like that time I accidentally watched a pornographic film. Sat through the whole thing (twice), just to make sure I was good and offended.
