PUZZLE #180: Anacrossword 2

PUZZLE #180
ANACROSSWORD 2

This puzzle type was suggested by Patron Grant Fikes. Support me on Patreon at $30 per month to suggest one puzzle type every month!

Solve the clues below and transfer their answers into the crossword grid. Then, transfer the letters in the filled numbered squares to each of the correspondingly numbered dashes. Work back and forth between the crossword and the numbered dashes until the crossword is filled and the dashes read out a legible sentence.

Once you're done with everything, the sentence will spell out a hint to the FINAL ANSWER: a two-word title.

You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a version you can print out!
