Like Adam I said Goldfinger for FJ. I'm sure I was influenced by thinking of a James Bond movie as a possibility during the commercial break. Psycho didn't cross my mind, but it should have considering it's such a J! favorite. Sounds like using chocolate syrup for blood in Psycho is pretty well-known based on the posts so far. Now I know...

Learn to pay attention to the date twelvefootboy! :!:

I knew it was not 60's, and I knew it was wrong, but all I had was Carrie. I knew the Exorcist was pea soup, and also likely the 70's (never seen either- not my genre). I figured it was probably some artsy fartsy movie I never heard of. (We tried to watch "Blow Up" a couple of years ago - ugh - how do I get that hour back?)

I could'a got this if I'd thunk about the date, but not from the TOMs. If they'd left the melon out and said the sauce was a proxy for blood, maybe I'd have got there.

As a PSA, the melon was for the stabbing sound effect and the model was a booty double (disputed claims now).

Champ Emily is a contender!

Being a $2000 clue, I imagine many fall in the trap of "It can't be that easy..." (even at home when you can eat the neg without consequence)
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

A lot of younger viewers were probably scratching their heads after the FJ reveal. "How can chocolate syrup stand in as blood?" not knowing Psycho was filmed in B&W. Kids these days.

Kudos to Gene Simmons for really selling the KISS clues.
that is what he does...he sells...how else can you explain branding air guitar strings?
