The Great Great Showdown Hunt Day 4: Thursday November 5th 2015
Santa Cruz, CA: This is a film about real cool teen vampires and two boys that are new to town. The younger new boy is really into comics, so he visits a comic shop and meets some other boys who consider themselves vampire hunters. What was this comic shop? It may have moved locations, so be careful in your search.Seattle, WA: Do you guys remember the grunge scene? Well, there was a movie about it. The characters in this film were struggling with relationships as they enjoyed this grunge scene. Two of the characters were dating while also living in the same apartment building. Can you believe it? One was even in a band with the guys from Pearl Jam. Where were these apartments?Los Angeles, CA: This was the story of a legendary newsman from long ago. In this particular scene, the dueling newspeople find themselves in a bear cage at the zoo. A battle ensues: newspeople versus bears. Where did this battle take place?San Francisco, CA: This is the story of a fellow who gets a bit dizzy when it comes to heights. In this particular scene, the fellow finds himself curious as to the goings on with this woman as she ventures close to the edge of the sea. He is quite surprised when she casts herself into the sea, but not so surprised that he does not jump in and help her. Where did she cast herself into the sea? Be careful not to cast yourself into the sea. That is not where the painting is hidden.
Good luck! There will be more Scott C paintings hidden each day though Sunday, so keep checking back each and every morning for your chance to find them. If you find one, tweet @ScottLava with the hashtag #GreatGreatShowdownsHunt to brag to the world.
