Challenge #92: The Blob!

ChristineB
Alteryx Alumni (Retired)

A solution to last week's Challenge can be found here.  

 

Halloween is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than watching a scary movie (with plenty of candy, of course!)?  For this Challenge, you'll find a way to display the images and create snippets for your favorite movie posters (scary or not).  I've chosen to display some posters from classic horror films.  The Crawling Eye?  Anyone?  It's ok...that happens a lot.  

 

For the Challenge, feel free to replicate the display  for each of the posters I've chosen to share OR create a workflow that displays posters from some of your favorite Halloween films! 

 

*We updated the start file and the solution file due to the URL link's change.

Went rogue and picked my own movies in addition to the 10 from the input... and then played around with Visual Layout tool to make a poster of my movie posters! :) Happy Halloween!

First time using either the Blob Convert tool or the Explorer Box!
Maybe not a traditional 'horror' movie, but Signs was the first scary movie I ever saw.
