Rebecca,

First I thought it was HORROR HOTEL you were describing--now I'm not sure.

Please let me know if I'm right.

Carmen,

That's a very good guess, but I had "Scars of Dracula" in mind.

Please let me welcome you and Greg back, too -- even though I wasn't here when you were here before. With everyone else's reaction to your return, I know I'm meeting some wonderful people in you two.

Rebecca: thanks so much--you are very kind indeed.

Regarding the game: I thought I had guessed wrong! Yep...Scars of Dracula it is!

Oh my, I'm rusty so I think someone else better try one...

Carmen

Why, The Man with the Golden Gun, of course. How about:

Might that be To The Devil a Daughter?

Oops! Charles' answer to Vicky's looks more plausible than mine.

Yep, mine was Dracula has Risen from the Grave. OK. . . Rebecca #2 Brides of Fu Manchu; and #4 I, Monster. Am I right?

Here's another:

Colleagues compete over carousing cranium.

Number 4 is completely right! Number 2 is soooo close I almost said "yes" to both. In fact, near the beginning of this film, I thought I was watching "Brides."

Alfonso,
Close, but no cigar, on No.1, although it would work just as well. No.2 is dead on the money.

Alfonso,

If "Colleagues compete over carousing cranium" isn't "Curse of Frankenstein," (???) is it "The Gorgon?" I'm not sure about "carousing" with Frankenstein, and I'm not sure about "cranium" with Gorgon. Is either one right?

Guys I don't have anything to offer except a thank you. Everytime I take a break I run to this site and read your riddles. They are great. They make a hectic day bearable. Glad to see you back Carmen.

Carmen & Greg are correct. And Colin's "A critical judgement results in five finger salute" Must be DR. TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS.
