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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Raq, is it House on Haunted Hill ?

Yes, I should have gotten #10.
Did you change #8 to make it harder? Because I only got it because of the tv reference, which is no longer there.
Also, #4 now reads like Freddy Krueger's own parents burned him. I haven't seen it, but based on the previous wording, I'm assuming they didn't.
Despite not having seen most of the films, that was fun Raq. Thanks.
