Halloween Hunt

This isn't actually showing up for me like it used to but I got the email saying it was going on until Oct 31 for those of you that are interested. https://www.librarything.com/hunt.php?y=2021&m=10

If anyone gets 1, 6, 7 or 10 I'll take hints!

>1 Silversi: Glad you mentioned it! I didn't know it was happening either.

The main thread is here: https://www.librarything.com/topic/336144#n7634111

I noticed it yesterday on the top banner. Stuck on 10, 11 & 12.

>2 Karlstar:
1. Try plural rather than singular. That might tag an answer for you.

6. Do not overthink it, or be too specific. Think plural again.

7. An investigation into a famous story reveals the tale from a different viewpoint.

>6 pgmcc: Thanks, those are good hints. I was being too specific.

I'm not doing as well as usual at this quiz. There are a couple that I'm sure I know the answer to but they don't seem to be right. I'm sure no. 5 is Transylvania but LT doesn't seem to agree!

ETA Turns out the issue was a bug which has now been fixed!

>8 Sakerfalcon: No wonder that wasn't working for me either!

Got them, but I needed help on a few. I was being to0 specific in several of my searches. These hunts are always so much fun!

I only have 8, 10 and 12 left. 10 and 12 I have danced all around, 8, I doubt I would get without major help, not being a horror genre fan.

>11 MrsLee:
I had a lot of trouble getting that one.

Clues: First I had to find which state was involved. Google helped me there.

I happened to be aware that a VERY famous writer of horror stories lived in that state.

Not having read many of his books I had to Google “fictional town” with his name. That gave me a list to work through.

Further clue: It obviously has an Irish connection.

>12 pgmcc: Thanks for that! Now just 10 and 12. I may go to the hint thread tomorrow, or I may not. I'm more interested in the badge than the prizes, and I have thet. :)

Got them all. Yay!

>13 MrsLee:
#10 What are those children doing? How would you tag that?

#7 is still giving me trouble, 12 I don't have but I'm not looking it up, so I'm happy not solving that one.

I guessed no 7 and got it right! Clue: We did a group read of this book here in the Green Dragon a few years ago.

>17 Sakerfalcon: I was not part of that group read but saw that clue and thought, "That sounds a bit like that one book I read a while back..." Figured it was a long shot but ran a search on the title and got the pumpkin!

I did manage to get all twelve but found numbers 4 and 12 the most difficult. Those two required the hints thread.

>15 pgmcc: I thought I had typed in all the variations of that, but I tried again and went down the list of options and found it. :)

I figured out 12. was thinking it was a character, not a title, and for the longest time I had the wrong pig, then I noticed the pronoun
