M&Ms Game - 50 Dark Movies, Hidden in a Painting - Instructions, Link to Game and Answer Key

In keeping with the Halloween season, the folks at the M&Ms website have come up with a spiffy, fun, and seriously addictive game. Here are the instructions from the website about the game, with my additional notes:

INSTRUCTIONS

Each movie title is represented by a visual riddle in the painting. (Note: The visual riddles aren't scary to look at.

Use your mouse to move around the painting.

Use the "Z" and "X" keys, or the "+" and "-" on top to zoom in and out. (Note: The "Z" and "X" keys are easier to use since you don't have to be at the top of the page.)

When you want to make a guess, click the clue and type your answer.

If the box turns green, your answer is correct. If it turns red, it's incorrect or misspelled. (Note: If the answer is incorrect, after it turns red, it will then wait for another answer. If you click it again [because you want to move onto a different clue], the box will go away.)

To pause your game, press the SPACE BAR. (Note: That only really matters because it stops the clock that is keeping track of how long you've been playing the game.)

Here are some other points to keep in mind. The movies are not necessarily horror movies. They use the word "dark", which is a stretch for some of the movies depicted. None of the movies is particularly obscure. The box to enter an answer will only pop up if you click on a spot that requires an answer.

There is a status bar on top that shows you how long you've been playing this game, how many of the movies you've guessed correctly, click keys to zoom in and out, buttons to pause, save and start a new game, and a question mark which brings up the instructions box again.

Here is the link to the game.

The answers listed below are generally in order from the upper left moving right and then down the page from left to right.

Roll your mouse over the clue for which you'd like the answer. The answer will then pop up in a box.

1. group of flying creatures on the left

2. mountain tops

3. Saturn and Jupiter

4. bird in tree

5. mid-mountain

6. building with flame

7. area to the right of building with flame

8. creature to right of mountain

9. entity in tower
