Moat crossed, film not seen. I have seen only two horror films that I can think of. Neither is really a horror film, but both have horror in the title. I keep thinking they might make good metas, but I have no idea how.

Needed the third nudge to point me to something that should have been obvious, after which it fell quickly. Fun one, thanks.

Crawled across the moat. It was the third nudge that helped me see what was so obvious, it should have been the first thing I noticed. I think I was thrown by the prompt and was concentrating on the 15-letter entries.
I've never seen the movie, but got it with the help of Google. Thanks, Ben!

Needed nudges; I don't know horror movies. Thanks for the puzzle, Ben!

Here's the solution to "Name The Horror Movie":
The long entries themselves are vaguely horror movie tropes or, in the case of RUNS IN THE FAMILY, somewhat related to the plot of the movie in question. I remember placing the F R and I and then combing through the Crosshare suggestions for something suitable.
Now, I know horror movies are not everyone's cup of tea. To be perfectly honest, they are not my cup of tea! I haven't even seen "Friday the 13th" and have no immediate plans to do so. So, for Halloween next year, I've got something quite different planned...
