I don't watch horror films so I'm a bit stuck on Out of Sick Days and Lousy Squatters. Anyone got any clues?

@Joe: I only have one of the Out of Sick Days - it's a character from Kermode's favourite film 
Lousy Squatters - Same film as above, different character. The other is a concept page that links in with the general theme

#5 to finish. I felt like an idiot after getting the comic character in Out of Sick Days but couldn't think of the other, even after getting all of the movies.  
 
For Out of Sick Days one is from a movie series that started in the 70s and had the "same" movie released twice several years back. The other is from a comic book movie based on a DC/Vertigo title.

Most of the answers for the quests can be found on the page of a film whose central theme is possession. It has a recognizable main theme and it might make your head spin.
For one of the Out of Sick Days, he is a comic book character played by a actor who was once called "The One". 
Hope this helps!

#16 to finish - and I'm not even a fan of the genre!  Let's hope we start the 2011 quests with a full 600 users getting this one.

Great Quest!  Here's a little tip so people can avoid what I just went through:
 
Lousy Squatters #1, is NOT Gozer, no matter how much you really, REALLY want it to be.  ;)

OK, I'm missing one for "Out of Sick Days" and one for one for "Hey I didn't know you spoke...etc" 
I feel like an idiot, but I've tried everything I can think of...

Need one more Squatter, the Babylonian one.

Thanks for the hints so far, everyone. I'm still banging my head trying to figure out the comic book for the 'Out of Sick Days' quest. I tried what I thought it was, but had no luck.

@LordAndrew: You need the concept? Or do you need the other one?

 I finished # 35.
I had a hard time figuring out the Lousy Squatters Babylonian one because I didn't recognize it from the film. I more knew it from Futurama as the thing that Professor Farnsworth kept yelling out the window of the Planet Express Ship as he drove slowly with his turn indicator on.
That probably isn't much of a hint unless you remember the Futurama episode where the crew regresses in age.

@Joe: The actor who played the comic book related character was in a certain Kate Beckinsale's first major film (not One Against the Wind) - very wooden chap.  A hint for the actor might be to check out the " To Be, or...Like" etc. quest if you've got it.
Once you found the actor, the film shouldn't be too hard
