My Hubby and I spent the good part of an afternoon trying to get all these! Some of them are hard!

Posted by MandyM (Member # 8375) on :

That is pretty cool! I am figured out only 7 of them so far.

Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :

I've gotten about four. Is it just horror movies?

Posted by Eldrad (Member # 8578) on :

They're not all horror movies. 12 Monkeys is in there, for example, and there's one or two others that aren't that I've been able to find so far. I've gotten 19 thus far.

Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :

I've gotten 17 out of 50 and they've all been horror movies thus far. Twelve Monkey's could be considered dark sci-fi or vaguely horror. So I'm gonna guess they're all very dark movies, and are mostly horror.

Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :

Ok, up to 29 now. Still with the mostly horror.

Posted by dawnmaria (Member # 4142) on :

Definitely horror or very dark movies,hence it's brought to you by dark M&M's! [Big Grin]

Posted by JimmyCooper (Member # 7434) on :

Okay, I'm stuck at 32 (mainly on the bottom section of the picture).

Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :

Well I'm up to 37 and very stuck. Ones I haven't figured out yet:

Jupiter and Saturn about to collide.
The mountain.
The grim reaper in a wooden fence mound thing.
The woman carrying two babies.
The M&M coming down the stairs in a dress.
The guy looking out of his window with a telescope.
The big Fish.
The random men with zeros.
The beatle coming out of the jar.
The thing in the lower right hand corner, looks like it has a board for a head.
The guys pouring over a book or map or something.

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

I'm bad at this game because I hate horror movies and therefore don't know anything more than the obvious ones.

Posted by JimmyCooper (Member # 7434) on :

Hey Alcon if you want to know for the ones I've figured out:
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
Jupiter and Saturn about to collide. War of the Worlds
The mountain. The hills have eyes
The guy looking out of his window with a telescope. Rear Window
The big Fish. Piranha
The beatle coming out of the jar. Beetlejuice
The thing in the lower right hand corner, looks like it has a board for a head. Eraserhead
END OF SPOILER SPOILER

I already got this one. The mountain is a different one. Above it and to the right.

Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :

Those men aren't wearing zeros, they're "o's." That should help.

Those aren't grown men who are looking for their way on their map.

Posted by maui babe (Member # 1894) on :

i got 43, oh and Maui babe says to say that im her daughter so...yeah. hi.

Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :

This is fun... I'm only up to 12 though...
I need to get my horror film friend over here.

Posted by Eldrad (Member # 8578) on :

Your answer is not correct, Miro, though I don't have the right one yet. There are five I'm missing so far:

The grim reaper in the cemetery
The M&M in the blue dress
The set of stairs she's on
The two men standing on the stairs back to back
The doorway behind Eraserhead

SPOILER WARNING

The boys looking at the map: Lost Boys
The woman with two children: The Mummy
The men holding 0s: The Omen

END SPOILER

THE Grudge

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

The Fish
The Dress
The Staircase
The peach with a shovel in it
And the pumpkins by the stairs

Oops. I remembered that one working. Sorry.

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

The "Lost Boys" one took me forever, because I was sure one of them was a girl.

Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :

HINTS:
The peach with a shovel in it

That's not a peach and those aren't shovels. That's an orange.

And the pumpkins by the stairs

What time of year are pumpkins most asociated with?

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

I have 23 so far. But like some others have said, I suck at horror movies, I don't ever watch them! So I'm rather proud of this number. [Razz]

Lyrhawn is here, but he's asleep. I'll have to ask him when he wakes up, if he can figure out any more.

Posted by maui babe (Member # 1894) on :

SPOILER.....

The green M&M in the blue dress is Blue Velvet.

Posted by maui babe (Member # 1894) on :

We're still stuck on:

The circle of wolves
The man with the lantern
The guy with his head and feet in baskets
The grim reaper in the circular fence
The orange house with straw in the roof
The cave at the bottom right corner
The stairs

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

I've gotten 10 so far, but one of them is the stairs.

The 39 Steps.

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

Hints:

1) The "straw" on that orange house isn't straw. Nor is the house itself orange. It's glowing orange for some reason.

2) What are the wolves doing?

3) What is the lantern doing?

4) What are the baskets made of?

5) That fence is delineating an area. (Note: this was one of the hardest ones for me; I just found it unintuitive.)

6) It's not so much the cave, but what's in it.

7) Have you counted the stairs?

Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :

Finished. Thanks to the help with all three revolving around the staircase (the lady, the stairs themselves, and the two guys).

Whew.

That was kind of cool. [Big Grin]

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

Yeah, that fence one was rather difficult, and I would not have gotten the stairs one, since I had no idea what it was referencing.

Posted by Little_Doctor (Member # 6635) on :

I've got 38 so far.

Posted by maui babe (Member # 1894) on :

we still don't got the grim reaper circle thing thing, that must be really hard.

Posted by Boon (Member # 4646) on :

I can't figure out the fish thing in the bottom left corner.

Posted by dawnmaria (Member # 4142) on :

*******Spoilers***************************

The grim reaper one is the title of an old Stephen King novel that is now a show starring Anthony Michael Hall.

The fish thing is in a "Lagoon".

Hope that helps!

Posted by calaban (Member # 2516) on :

More spoilers******

reaper, yard, death... smacks forhead.

Christopher Walken plays lead in the movie.

Posted by GaalDornick (Member # 8880) on :

Does anything cool happen when you get them all?

Posted by dawnmaria (Member # 4142) on :

You get such a warm rush of accomplishment!

Posted by PUNJABEE (Member # 7359) on :

I can't figure out the guy with the baskets on his head and feet.

Edit: I found the creature one in the corner.. im just missing the guy with the baskets.

Posted by GaalDornick (Member # 8880) on :

Two left. Can't figure out the wall with the seven on it and the ghost dude above it. Please give a hint and the answer in case I can't figure out and go crazy [Big Grin]

Posted by PUNJABEE (Member # 7359) on :

GaalDornick:

The wall has what number on it?

And the guy in the bell tower... he's not from around here.

HELP ME WITH THE BASKET GUY!!!

Posted by GaalDornick (Member # 8880) on :

The wall has what number on it? [Wall Bash]

I hate obvious ones.

The baskets on that man are made of what? Not straw...

Posted by PUNJABEE (Member # 7359) on :

I still cant figure out the basket guy, what else are baskets made of?

I cant even tell what hes holding in his hands, even zoomed in all the way.

Posted by GaalDornick (Member # 8880) on :

I can't figure out the guy in the bell tower...I figured he's not from around here...I'ev tried all the combinations I can think of but I'm pretty sure I've never heard of this movie...One more clue please?

Posted by GaalDornick (Member # 8880) on :

Got 'em all...I hate obvious ones! [wallbash] [Wink]

Posted by PUNJABEE (Member # 7359) on :

The guy in the bell tower...You could say he's illegal?

One more clue for me about basketman?

Posted by GaalDornick (Member # 8880) on :

From wikipedia:

[Blank!] is any sort of hard woven plant fiber formed into a useful object.

[Blank]man

Posted by PUNJABEE (Member # 7359) on :

oh good lord we got the basket guy.

DANG IT!

Posted by GaalDornick (Member # 8880) on :

Wow on the highscore someone got it in 2:13...I'm assuming it wasn't their first try? [Wink]

Took me like 47 minutes I think.

I didn't read any of the answers anywhere but I occasionally used google to search for key words combined with "horror movie" [Blushing]

. And I read some of the hints here. But I did NOT read any of the answers [Cool]

Posted by Glenn Arnold (Member # 3192) on :

I can't get the score thing (or whatever it is at the top of the page) to work.

Posted by Synesthesia (Member # 4774) on :

I can't get the baby
the people with the 0s on
The screaming woman
the leprechan
the pumpkin headed dude
ect.

Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :

I still can't get the grim reaper.

Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :

Or the cave actually. The dark doorway/archway thingy.

Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :

Ok, really stumped by the cave and it's pissing me off. Please someone just post the answer!

Posted by Earendil18 (Member # 3180) on :

SPOILERS

The baby is Rosemary's Baby
The Orange is Clockwork-like [Razz]

Still can't get the wolves, the basket dude, the woman with two kids, and the knife. O.o

Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :

Never mind, I got it.

Took me forever cause I kept trying versions of 'dark' or 'darkness' and 'cave' or 'door'.

Posted by seekingprometheus (Member # 9825) on :

I've got 47.

I can't figure out the stairs, the green mm in the elvira dress, or the cave.

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :

I have 21, and that's cheating using this thread. I suck at these.

Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :

Think about how you'd describe the inside of the cave, prometheus. As for the stairs and the elvira dress, I needed this thread to have any idea what they were.

Posted by maui babe (Member # 1894) on :

Now I feel REALLY dim because I spent all day yesterday watching a netflix DVD of the Stephen King inspired television show starring Anthony Michael Hall.
