The Alternate Movie Title Game (Volume 6)

Here are the rules: We will provide an "alternate title" for a classic movie and ask you to name the actual film. Most of these are pretty easy. Please answer no more than three questions per day so others can play. You may have an answer other than the intended one--just be able to defend it! Note that the alternate title may be a variation of the original title or plot description.

1.  Incident at the Black Mesa Bar-B-Q.

2.  Obsession with Carlotta.

3.  Don't Water the Rocks!

4.  King Kelly and the Wood Repellent.

5.  Looking for Debbie.

6.  Professor Challenger's Expedition.

7.  Tumak Loves Loana.

8.  Harry Worp's Body.

9.  Wilbur's Brain.

10. Gull Cottage.

11. The Id Monster.

12. Mrs. Lane's Deceit.

13. Chris and The Other Six.

14. Dr. Robert Merrick.

15. The Midwich Children.

  11. We'll close out this game by providing the answers to the remaining questions. #3 is The Monolith Monsters, which admittedly was a difficult alternate title. #12 is Christmas in Connecticut. Barbara Stanwyck played Mrs. Elizabeth Lane, whose deceit is that she is not married. She lies about a lot of things actually.

    1. Now that I know the answer to 3, I feel like doing a face palm. Good recall to come up with that movie.
