Film Fusion

Bryan is trying to come up with new movie ideas by combining two reviewed films. Can you guess the “fused” film titles based on the pitches? All the movies have appeared on the podcast. (An example using well known movies: “A disagreeing murder trial jury has to police the secret alien presence on Earth.” → 12 Angry Men in Black.)

You can reveal the answers one by one by clicking the descriptions.

  1. A man with psychic powers has to protect a girl from the Headless Horseman. Doctor Sleepy Hollow
  2. A woman hunts puppies in a virtual world after its creator dies. Ready Player One Hundred and One Dalmatians
  3. A French girl explores her sexuality while being stalked by an obsessive fan and losing her mind. Perfect Blue Is the Warmest Colour
  4. A boy discovers a manor frozen in time that houses kids with special abilities who want to sacrifice adults in horrifying rituals. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children of the Corn
  5. A green creature plans to ruin the holiday of a family who decided to skip it this year. How the Grinch Stole Christmas with the Kranks
