Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle cache, the coordinates will take you where you don't want to be. On the fringes of this park, where most don’t go, lies a place of dead trees where the undead go to unwind……

The puzzle has been updated to reflect the current GZ.  Specifically, "N" in Movie #2, "KL" in movie #3, "J" in Movie 8.  The GeoChecker has also been updated to reflect the current coordinates.  If you have any questions, please reach out.

What kind of movies do the zombies watch? Why zombie movies of course!

They have forbidden me to tell you directly of their place of leisure and the riches there but I am allowed to give you a puzzle to solve! 

From a popular zombie site the Top Ten Zombie Movies are referenced in the following hints.

Movie 1:

H=Second digit in month the movie was released

M=the second digit when the number of minutes in the length of the movie is added together (eg if the movie were 29 minutes long this value would be 1)

Movie 2:

N=the last digit in the year the movie was originally released.

Movie 3:

KL= the difference between the runtime for the "uncut" German version and the US version. Multiply this number by 3.

Movie 4:

F=add the digits of the number of minutes that the movie lasted

Movie 5:

A= the last digit in the runtime of the movie

Movie 6:

P= the first digit in the number of rules that the character references

Movie 7:

C- the version number of the video game that one character plays throughout the movie

G=The number of the month that this movie was released in the US

Movie 8:

J- the second digit of the number of days between the UK and the US release minus 1

D=The last digit in the day of release in New Zealand

Movie 9:

E=the last digit of the year the movie was released in Hong Kong

Movie 10:

B=the month the movie was released

I=the second digit in the runtime of the movie

 

Now place the numbers: N AB*CD.EFG W HIJ*KL.MNP

Don't go there after dark! The times that the zombies aren't here is dawn to dusk (also the time the park is open). You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
