Swirly-Whirly wrote:Dark chocolate M&Ms has created a Flash game for Hallowe'en - 50 "Dark" Movies - Hidden in a Painting. It's really rather creative, I must say! It uses a Hieronymus Bosch-style painting to illustrate visual puns of famous horror film titles, and you have to click on them and type in your guess. There's a scorecard and a timer, too - so you can keep track of how many you find.
So anyhoo... on to the game

can you solve all the riddles

Pretty well done. Though I could only find just about half of the titles, and out of those I have actually only seen a handful; they're not exactly my type of movies.

I got to 31!
I would like to know the once i didnt find, if you found them please tell me.

The mountain, That one house above the pumpkinman and the Pumkinman, Then the people wih the map in the middel, the giant Cockroach and the women with the babies, the howling wolves and the burning sign 10/13.

Thanks!

Spoiler solution for 4
the cockroach is BEETLEJUICE, 10/13 is FRIDAY 13TH and the wolves are THE HOWLING. Pumpkinhead is PUMPKINHEAD

I was able to guess 17. Are the answers anywhere? not to cheat, I just wanna know what they were. =/

Some more spoilers:

The mountain is Twin Peaks, the houses near the pumpkinman is The Village, the people with the map is Lost Boys.

I managed to get 42 after some browsing on IMDb. BTW, are there no spoiler tags on this board?

Thanks for the info! I looked for 2 hours on IMDb haha.
Which once didnt you get? I might be able to tell you some of mine if you want to know?

Havent seen any spoiler tags on the boards so far, might be good to post on the feedback forum?

Pile of pumpkins - When do you see Pumpkins?
The bird? If you mean the thing directly under the planets, kind of above the field - Think of something much SMALLER than a bird...
Fish? - It looks like a different sort of creature to me...

Thanks, I already found them out by peeking at the answers in that thread!

Ichabod - I got all 3 of those. I'll give you clues

Pile of pumpkins = it's actually really obvious. Don't think about what they are, think about what they represent. (1 word answer)

Bird (you mean the one in the tree top?) = think about what Kind of bird it is. (1 word answer)

Fish = the answer is what kind of fish it is. Think scary fish (1 word answer)

Now I'm mad. That Dark Water clue was really stupid. Who would have guessed it? Not that many people have heard of this movie. And the portion of water itself was so small. It's not my fault I didn't guess it. They focused way more on the woman holding the water - so I guessed Lady In the Water, which was a much better guess. Also, the Creature from the Black Lagoon guess was stupid. Yeah, the creature part was good. But who could tell it was a lagoon? It was so darn small. Then, the Clockwork Orange clue. It didn't look Orange at all. It could have looked like an Orange except that it was too bloody. It looked like it had blood on it, I was thinking it had to be something like Killing Time or something. Confused the heck out of me. The next thing - Blue Velvet. The M&M was Green. And who the heck could tell she was wearing Velvet? Are we all suddenly appolstry / fashion people? And if they're going to be picking all these newer movies like Dark Water and Blade and The Grudge, sneaking in obscure movies like that David Lynch movie is more than a little frustrating. Then, The Sixth Sense one was a terrible clue. Here I am thinking Abraham Lincoln Goes Crazy and Kills People. Or Red Planet or Planet of the Apes or King Kong - which are all better guesses and fit this clue better than what they chose.

I admit most of their clues were very clever. But they messed up if you ask me.

I was able to reach 35, and I picked up on what I thought were some of the harder ones, like the cave entrance at the lower right corner. That one was rather obscure.
