Man. I was going to pick Koontz, but I figured Anne Rice was better known. :smack:

69

Fucking weather balloons…

70

Huh, I thought I’d make the top half this time. Oh, well, it’s still better than the last one.

71

  1. Kolchak

  2. Peter Straub

  3. Bermuda Triangle

  4. Jimmy Hoffa

  5. Nostradamus

  6. Bigfoot

  7. Rime of the Ancient Mariner

  8. Lincoln

  9. Weather balloon

  10. singing that gawdawful Bilbo Baggins song

  11. in the White House, at least

ETA: D’oh! Too late. And I had seven out of ten.

72

I wasn’t last!

73

Should be grouped together.

Two different guys.

Different than the Billy Goat (Cubs) curse with which you apparently lumped it, but I’m sure those who picked either will appreciate all baseball-related curses being grouped together. :smiley:

74

Nimoy wasn’t a guest star on Mission: Impossible. He played the character Paris for two seasons (basically replacing Martin Landau’s character when he left the series).

75

No, Elendil’s Heir was last.

76

Thanks, that was a fun one, guys!

77

Likewise. Smack in the middle, as is my usual finish. Thanks for running, as always, Dolores!

78

I hit the feud right at the end, just to come in 26th place.
(sigh)

79

Good feud, 4th place for me.

I’ve heard of Dean Koontz, but thought he wrote thrillers.
