The skinny: Find 50 'Dark' movies in the painting. Some are obvious, but some of the others are real head-scratchers. The game is kind of cool because you can zoom in and out of the painting and it'll 'darken' the ones you got correct. You can also save your game to go back to it later, which is good...because I'm stuck. This thing has eaten up nearly 20 minutes of my time and I've only found 31 out of 50.

Go here to play, and here's the full painting to entice you:



Oh, and as if I need to remind you lot, spoiler tags are a must!!!

[Engine Joe]

Got 26 in about 12 minutes, then it completely dried up for me. Dammit.

[alcimedes]

I got four in a minute then got bored. Damn you television!

[709]

36 in 45 minutes. I must stop. This is driving me nuts.

[drewprops]

I got 15 in about 8.5 minutes... just brought it back up to do some more...

[razor]

Found them all in 11 minutes, and then in honor of dark chocolate, I

layed down a huge stockpile of imitation M&M filling in a porcelain receptacle.

[Engine Joe]

Got a bunch more.... one is driving me crazy, though. I can't get the answer I have for it out of my head because it is perfect for the clue --- except that it's wrong!

When Worlds Collide.

It's keeping me from thinking of anything other possible answer for that clue!

There are others that I think I should be getting, but can't. That one is bugging me to no end, though. Not that I want to cheat!

That's what I thought it was at first as well. Hint:

You've got one of the words right.

[Yontsey]

i got 23 in about 12 mintues theni got bored....

[Kickaha]

33 so far.

Hell, I can't even *find* another 17 in the painting... sheesh.

[709]

I've got 13 2 to go and it's driving me fucking batty. I need:

• the trio of kids dancing next to the big bug
• the woman holding two childen
• the three dudes with the map
• the dude with the lantern
• the big baby holding the plants
• the black archway in the lower right
• the grim reaper in the circular fence
• the big knife
• the outfit on the green m&m
• the two dudes on the staircase
• the staircase itself
• the dude in the window looking at something
• the lower jawbone

I know some of these are going to be head slappers once I find out what they are, but right now I'm completely stumped.

[*]the three dudes with the map The Lost Boys [*]the dude with the lantern The Shining [*]the big baby holding the plants Rosemary's Baby [*]the grim reaper in the circular fence The Seventh Seal [*]the big knife I actually got this and forgot it! [*]the outfit on the green m&m Blue Velvet [*]the staircase itself The 39 Steps [*]the dude in the window looking at something Rear Window [*]the lower jawbone Jaws

These are the ones I know. I am stuck with about a dozen left too, but almost entirely with ones that you DO know!

[709]

Goddamn it. If i could slap my forehead as hard as it needs to be slapped I'd sent myself through the wall.

Thanks. (and let me know if I can lend a hand as well)

[edit]: The grim reaper one isn't right though.

[Engine Joe]

Really? I know that's what I put and it worked. EDIT: I started a new game and it doesn't work. I'm quite confused now. I know it worked for me before on my other file, and that was what I put in, I'm nearly (though not absolutely) sure of it. Hmmm...

EDIT 2:

Here are the ones that I can't get...

• the mountaintop
• juggling pennies
• the chimps
• the phiranna
• the snapped tree trunk
• the two guys standing back-to-back
• the beetle in the jar
• the mom and kids
• the ring-a-rosie kids (I thought I had this one)
• there might be one or two more...
• the black water in the barrel
• the cat-man in the straightjacket

the mountaintop - Twin Peaks juggling pennies - The Sixth Sense (yes, an obtuse clue that drove me nuts until I sounded it out) the chimps - 12 Monkeys the phiranna - Pihrana the snapped tree trunk That's either Saw or Leprechaun depending on which one you didn't get the two guys standing back-to-back - don't know the beetle in the jar - Beetlejuice the mom and kids - don't know the ring-a-rosie kids (I thought I had this one) - don't know the black water in the barrel - Black Water the cat-man in the straightjacket - Psycho

Let the slapping of forehead commence.

* Twelve Monkeys * Piranha (oddly enough ) * Beetlejuice * Dark Water (recent Jennifer Connelly movie)

I got 30 in about nine minutes. I love this!

* Child's Play * It's not the right answer, but I thought surely it was "The Jagged Edge" (Glenn Close, Jeff Bridges, etc.).

[Mac+]

the big knife

blade

slap away

[709]

Goddamn it. Those two I should have guessed for sure.

Though, I got really excited when [oops, see spoiler above] led to my thinking that the black tunnel was Underworld...but no.

It's not Underworld, The Cave, The Abyss, The Dark, Darkness, The Fucking Hole In The Goddamn Bricks ......hold on.....


Got it.

It's taken me about 21 minutes to get 17. I am sure that there are at least several that I either haven't even heard of, or at least would never think of.
Not ready to look at any of the spoiler tagged boxes yet, though.

EDIT: 27 minutes and 21 movies

[709]

That clue's just about as bad as the friggin floating pennies.

[psmith2.0]

There are so many other great movies of this type out there. I want, IMMEDIATELY, another one of these pictures, in this same freaky, captivating style, to be released for another round of this.



That's good stuff!

Think of what could be done with "Dial M for Murder", "The Sentinel", "Last House on the Left", "I Spit On Your Grave", etc.

[Moogs]

Got about 22 in 10 minutes and realized how much time I was going to waste, so stopped. How I missed Beetle Juice I'll never know.

The dead zone clue was weak. How are you supposed to derive "zone" from a circular picket fence? Should be like a traffic sign or something.

[Yonzie]

Darn this is annoying... And I suck at riddles too... 27 after ~35-40 minutes
