Darn, got caught up with other things and forgot to do the reveal earlier.
It was after Bird Live’s “Resolution” puzzle and he and I were joking back and forth in PMs about other RE words. He came up with “Have the Osso Bucco again” for RE VEAL, and we batted around a few more. However when I came to REMEMBER I just knew I could not let it go and had to make a meta somehow. From there it was pretty smooth sailing and I saw I could get VAMPED pretty easily. Since REVAMPED is a word that, like the others, could be given a silly clue to get it (Called the bloodsuckers back to the castle?) and since it means to make something over so it looks different, it was the perfect word for a puzzle that was a Do Over. I also tossed everyone a nudge in the graphic since that is Mary Pickford in the 1st pic, and on the other side was the famous “vamp” Clara Bow.
It was also, for me, one of the most solved despite its slight digression with REMEMBER. I want to thank the 60+ of you for giving it a try and for all the kind comments.
