Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Help out a girl? We're going ahead and throwing a Halloween party this year, and we always do games. One of the games is to guess the horror movie (although, unlike either the lists in here or my personal Top 20 we're going with popular or well-known) from a skewed description of the plot.

The questions are in my LJ [link] and if you could, go through them and give me a sense if they are too hard, too easy, or just right...best way to do that is by commenting me the answers, but any feedback is welcome.

The Apple

BWAH!!!

I do not know The Reflecting Skin. Session 9 is also good.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Those were fun, Raq! I think I only knew about half of them, though.

Thanks for playing, P-C! I can see how you'd guess PotC for the one, but that's so not a horror movie. Undead zombie pirates and all.

I know which one P-C thought was PotC. And I know what it really was.

OOOH.

Now I remember. I haven't seen it, but is that The Fog ?

Yeppers.

And Sean, you really didn't need the ? after Phantasm. I mean, dude. Ice cream vendor?

Feel free to take another look at them. These will be easier for the party guests as they'll be working in small teams (although harder because they are not really pop culture vultures).

Yeah, between the ice cream vendor, and the mortician, I figured that had to be right, but it's been so long, and I was worried I'd gone all soft in the head.

Aaah. I've never seen that one. Heh.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

From the perspective of someone who doesn't know horror at all:

I am only positive of #2 because it takes place at my alma mater and was therefore required freshman-year viewing. I haven't seen them, but I'm pretty sure of 3, 13, 18, and maybe 4 and 8. Is Blair Witch there? Because I've actually seen that but none of the descriptions seemed to fit at first glance.
