    Fun one!

      Much fun! You may not believe this, but I’ve seen one of these, 42a
      42A* Prudential competitor (1960)[-----]
      , at least 50 times.
      • KayW 🤓10:13 · 5 months ago
        I believe it - I'll bet I have, too!
      • Laura M 🤓35:22 · 5 months ago
        Great puzzle, thanks! Horror isn't my favorite genre so I had to Google most of them, but I have seen 4 of the movies and I love Stephen King books (although mostly the less horror-ible ones).
        • boharr 8s · 5 months ago
          Fun
          • imontoo 5s · 5 months ago
            That was a mental workout! Thank you.
            • benchen71 3s · 5 months ago
              That took a lot of googling since horror movies are not my thing. But still a fun challenge!
              • Carolyn 8s · 5 months ago
                Had to work for that, but fun!

                  I got six of them -- that was enough. No surprise the ones I got were ones before 1990.
                  • Adding the years definitely helped. And I JUST figured out the title!

                      Awesome one! Loved the meta.
