Puzzle Description:

hard to draw in a 20x, but I think someone'll guess this pretty quickly...

#1: Tom King (sgusa) on Feb 2, 2013

Scary Movie?
#2: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Feb 2, 2013
nope....but it is a very scary movie.
#3: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Feb 2, 2013
after initial ll:

el on the 4 clue in c15 to dot r17-20
ll
2-way logic on the 2 clue in c12 - whether the 2 clue goes up into r15 or down into r17, the 1 clue from c11 will either be in r15 or r17 as well, so the 3 clue in c11 must be in r7-9
ll to finish
no guessing

friday the 13th?
halloween?
saw?
#4: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Feb 2, 2013
nope, nope, and nope. as Norma would say, "right church, wrong pew"
#5: Tom King (sgusa) on Feb 2, 2013
Texas Chainsaw Massacre?
#6: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Feb 2, 2013 [SPOILER]
sorry, Tom....not it.


can y'all see the image ok? hatchet going through a door with a scared woman inside(holding a knife). I'll give a hint in a day or 2 if needed. hope you enjoyed the solve if not the image

the shining

i had been looking at the "woman" as the main bad guy, and holding some type of oversized weapon and attacking some sort of jibberish on the left but now i can clearly see the hatchet in the foreground with the doorknob below it and the woman in the background (nice depth by the way)

the 1:47 mark seems to be a pretty good place to stop the clip to give the scene in this puzzle

oh by the way you'll give a hint in a day or two? really?
as if you didnt already give it away by explaining the scene
haha
#8: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Feb 2, 2013
hahahaha.....ok, a more obvious hint...like Ed McMahon might have something to say to this puzzle. ("Heeeeeeeeeere's Johnny!")
#9: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Feb 3, 2013 [SPOILER]
Looks more like Ghostbusters than The Shining,
Kurt, did you post your hint #8 at the same time as Bugaboo's guess #7?
#10: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Feb 3, 2013 [HINT]
confusing image. i did the 2-way logic that bug described, but didn't need the EL. fun solve.
#11: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Feb 3, 2013
after, K. I meant I'd post a more obvious hint in a day or 2 if no one got it, such as what I said in 8. but it was unnecessary, as you've seen.

sorry about the bad image...I know some appreciate the small puzzles and I liked the challenge of trying to make something to guess that's small. doesn't always work out so neat though image-wise. I think it's clearer than it actually is when I publish cuz I know exactly what it's supposed to be...obviously some aren't so clear though
#12: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Feb 3, 2013
dbouldins "confusing image" comment sounded like a blackcat comment
haha

the image was fine once i knew what is was supposed to be
#13: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Feb 4, 2013
David is BlackCat?!? The plot thickens... ;)
#14: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Feb 4, 2013
hahaha....I somehow doubt it...lol
#15: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Feb 4, 2013
Very scary image. Neat!
#16: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Feb 5, 2013
i can not confirm or deny any ties i may or may not have with blackcat.

i can see the image now...but at the time, even with the explanation, i couldn't.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.
#18: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Nov 16, 2016 [HINT]
I did the two-way logic on the 2 in c12. No other advanced logic is needed.
