The Cryptic Canvas - now with 100% less annoying background music.

May 23, 2009 2:36 PM

Remember the M&M's Dark Movies game from 2006? Empire Magazine has a new movies-hidden-in-a-painting-vaganza, called The Cryptic Canvas.

23 in and I'm starting to slow down. Part of the problem is the quality of the painting; what the hell is that weird little thing in the cemetery, near the cheerleaders?

it appears to be a guy hunched over with a gun lying next to him.

Amazing. I actually considered posting over on AskMe recently to see if anyone knew anything like that M&Ms puzzle out there. Now to go attempt to crack it.

Doesn't load for me. An Ad-block problem?

Got it! Jeez, a few of those were ridiculous.

Yeah, AdblockPlus in Firefox seems to block it. I'm on Opera, so I didn't notice.

Got to 47 without searching the internets for help. Of the remaining 3, one I'd never heard of the movie, another I should have gotten, and the third was just very deviously hidden.

42 after a long session. I think I'm tapped out, so I'm looking forward to hints.

Sweet! I loved the M&M puzzle. It will have to be tomorrow, but still!

Cars? Tombstone? The Shadow?

I think there are at least 80 movies here, not 50.

....Can anyone give any hints on the thing with the two lutes, the woman putting books in a meat grinder, and the Frankenstein unloading Cerberus from the van?

Examine the van carefully, Empress. I'm clueless on the lutes and the bookgrinder, too. Also the parking dragon?
