50 dark movies, hidden in a painting

Not long after rewarding Oslo policemen with two million dark chocolate M&Ms for recovering Edvard Munch's "The Scream", the candy giant has paired its new product with fine art a second time. Solve the visual clues hidden in a painting to name 50 movies with dark themes.

Comments

So fun!! Although some of them are pretty bad visual puns :-)

I got about 20 before I snapped out of it and realized I was spending far too much time on the M&Ms website.

Most of their 'dark' movies are actually 80s B-grade horror flicks, so I suspect this game will be more fun for splatter fans than Andrei Tarkovsky types.

I got 27 out of 50. Some of these were pretty tough but I had fun trying to figure them out. I will try it again to see if I can figure out the other 23.

We managed to get them all here at work. It's very disappointing when you come to the end, there's no fanfare or anything. Just "Well done, enter your name".

Yeah, I got those too like as soon as I wrote the comment. And yes, I did see Rosemary's Baby. It was very good. Anyway, I have managed to get 44. Maybe I'll revisit the site later and figure them all out.

I got to 47 and then surrendered. There's an answer key over here if you can't bear to watch that timer tick up any longer.

Aw man, I can't believe I missed the clue for Lost Boys! That film was the absolute pinnacle of the Coreys oeuvre.

And then I said …

The mountains are "twin peaks".

"Twin Peaks" is technically not a movie. The movie is "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me."

But maybe I'm just bitter because I didn't get that one.
Or Lost Boys...

I got about 40 between me and my son but I couldn't take it anymore and looked at the key. I never would have gotten some of the obscure movies.

I liked this viral marketing thing, but I preferred working through this similar campaign a while back for Virgin Digital (Click on "See the poster").

It's the same thing but you have to find all the famous bands, and I like the illustration style more.

Sorry to waste your day all over again...
