	Wow, truly excellent quiz. Nice variety of films and good clues. A lot of haiku quizzes sound better in theory than in practice, but this is a happy exception.

	Thanks for the Editor Pick. I realize this isn't Pulitzer stuff, but it was fun to write. Hope you enjoy it folks, and suggestions are always welcome.

	I was a little confused by the haiku for The Exorcist, the thing about witchcraft threw me off, but really great quiz otherwise!

	Juvo415:	Nov 3rd, 2011 at 13:17 GMT	2 points
	I was starting to think the clues were too obvious overall, that there should be a few difficult ones. Also, "witchcraft or something" is slight allusion to Lt. Kinderman's investigation, where he's not sure what's happening, and refers to witchcraft several times.

	Nice one, though I really really should have gotten a few more... Phibes, Thing, ... Also about the (one?) bonus: yes, I am a film critic, so it should count ;) And at long last something constructive: "telekinetic" with a second "i".

	Juvo415:	Nov 4th, 2011 at 16:58 GMT	2 points
	Fixed the spelling, nice catch. No matter how many times I look, inevitably I'll miss something--I have a sneaking suspicion at least one of the haiku has the wrong number of syllables.

	And there's a bunch of bonus answers, most of which are for close-but-not-quite guesses.

	Really enjoyed some of the bonus comments. Yes, I was just guessing. :)

	Ahaha I typed Cannibal Holocaust and got the bonus, but I wasn't just guessing. I haven't seen it but I know it takes place in the Amazon so I guessed it for that one.

	If you liked this game play game 'the horror movie search.' oh and sorry about some of themistakes in the game I am ony 12

	too many sarcastic "bonus" answers. if Disturbia is a "remake" of Rear Window (have seen neither, so can't verify) then either one should count as correct.

	The third column for that clue clearly states the year was 1954.
