Huh.
Now I'm fixated. Damn you!

it was bad; it might have been Latin.

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?

#1 is the only one that's stumping me. I'd guess Re-Animator based on the revised clue, but that's not it?I'm going to be so angry at myself if it turns out to be House ...
I too LOVED clue #6.

OK, revised some of the clues. Here's re-revised #1:
A doctor’s paranormal research in a New England mansion comes back to haunt him when his wife mysteriously disappears just before the tragic death of the sensitive young assistant who had been infatuated with him.
And, in the way of a hint, this movie was remade a few years ago, and the remake would not fit this description.
