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.
17 is kicking everyone's butt (and ha - I'm typing sideways with a toddler on my lap and first typed "licking" everyone's butt.
6 is harder than I'd thought; you guys got it right, but it's the third-most unanswered.
1 also - no one's gotten that one yet. P-C, did your friend get it?
Oh god, I'm retarded. Excellent.
2 is The Exorcist
15 is Rosemary's Baby.
Was I wrong about 1? It's not Re-Animator?
Yep, yep, and sorry, not Re-Animator.
We decided not to include that movie because it wasn't widely-seen enough, but I'm thinking the movie that #1 really is wasn't either. Or we need to revise the clue.
Huh.
Now I'm fixated. Damn you!
I just replied to your comment with a revised clue. What about:
A doctor’s supernatural experiments in a New England mansion come back to haunt him when his wife mysteriously disappears just before the death of the sensitive young woman who had been infatuated with him.
Strega, that's what my friend thought 1 was as well.
Was I right about 17, Raq? That was the first thing I thought of when I saw it, but I wasn't sure.
Yes, that's 17.
Hah! I figured that was 17. So far #1 and #20 are the only ones I don't have a clue about.
My horror fan friend knew 20 immediately: Hellraiser.
I've never seen it, but IMDb confirms. Heh.
#20 is a pretty straightforward clue, just because it's really not our type of movie, so we don't know it well enough to get inside of it and turn it around. But that's cool, since we are going for a mix of easy and hard and medium.
Jilli, do you still not get #1 with the revised clue?
