"Name The Horror Movie" by benchen71
Welcome to...
benchen71's Metas on a Tuesday (MOAT)
Can you storm the castle by getting across the MOAT? It's time for another Halloween-themed meta puzzle. This time, we're playing "Name The Horror Movie". The answer to the meta is the name of a horror movie very subtly hinted at in the 15-letter entries. (But I've provided a couple of different ways to get to the meta answer, so don't just focus exclusively on those 15-letter entries.)
The easiest way to submit is on Crosshare (and you get instant feedback and unlimited attempts!) But you can also PM me with your submission. Either way, I'll compile a list of those who successfully solve the meta.
Name The Horror Movie - Crosshare
Name The Horror Movie - PUZ
Name The Horror Movie - PDF
Name The Horror Movie - spreadsheet
Nudges are here.
The solution is here.

Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

Crossed the moat. I’ve brought a witch and a duck.

I don't watch horror movies so I was surprised I could solve this (thanks Google).
Thanks Ben!
Thanks Ben!

Moat crossed, castle stormed, ghosts greeted. Thanks, Ben, and Happy Halloween!

Castle stormed! ??
Nah, more liked scooped up and hugged!
(But, at such peril! Watch out for a turret in the eye!)
Thanks for the spooky fun, Ben!

Nice puzzle.
But might work better as a non-meta... (but what would be the fun of that).

Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Crossed the MOAT via several stepping stones and a leap, but now inside the castle enjoying Halloween candy by a roaring fire (not an Aussie castle, for sure).

I haven't seen it either. I am also not a fan of this genre. Next Halloween I will be doing something quite different!HeadinHome wrote: ↑Wed Nov 01, 2023 2:41 am Stormed! Never saw this (hate horror films) .. but google helped!
