Angle On: Crossword #1 - "Scream Legends"

In a world (movie trailer voice activated) with so many ways to kill time that flatten cognition rather than activate it, I’m always reaching for ways to turn my brain on. Movies do this for me (most of the time) as does reading, and writing, and drawing, and woodworking…but something I rely on nearly as much, and more and more these days, is the crossword puzzle.

So I thought I’d try and build one of my own.

Unlike the puzzle box in “Hellraiser” completing my puzzle won’t unleash leather-clad BDSM demons, but it might give you just a small pin-prick of accomplishment.

Once a month (or more if I find myself able) I’ll post a new crossword puzzle here, with a theme that has something to do with the films I write about and care about.

These puzzles will only be available to paid subscribers, and I’ll be happy to provide the answers to those who are interested. It’s little way to thank those of you who have chosen to show your support by paying that small monthly or yearly amount to keep this space going.
