Some I’ll take a guess at  
46a lightning  
SPOILER:  
Frankenstein  
CORRECT

47a Limehouse  
SPOILER:  
The Face of Fu Manchu  
INCORRECT This one is tough, but for someone who does get it, it will be the only possible answer. HINT: it’s a \*very \*old film.

49 annex  
SPOILER:  
This one should be easy if you don’t overthink it.

54 entomophage  
SPOILER:  
Vampire’s Kiss  
INCORRECT Overthinking. What’s the simplest answer possible?
