PUZZLE #270: Link-Letters 8

PUZZLE #270
LINK-LETTERS 8

There are two clues for each numbered row. The answers to each row's first clue go in the squares to the left of the first black bar in each correspondingly numbered row in the puzzle's grid, and the answers to the second clue go into the squares to the right of the second black bar. Then a single letter (the "Link-Letter") goes in the square in the middle to complete a single word that reads all the way across. For example, if the two words are CON and ACT, you can put a "T" between them to get CONTACT.

Once you've filled out all eight rows, the central letters will spell out two words reading down. Add a letter between those two words in the red square to get this week's FINAL ANSWER: a fashion term or a video game villain


1) Gabor sister who starred in Green Acres
    Speechify
2) Captain America: _____ War
    Letter after Y, in Yorkshire
3) Grown-up nits
    2016 computer-animated film about animals in a musical competition
4) Time for the moon to shine
    Hercules (1997) villain with minions named Pain and Panic
5) Vote into office
    Poem packed with praise
6) Bear caves and man caves, often
    Family _____ (Michael J. Fox sitcom)
7) Main ingredient of maple syrup
    Give employment to
8) Prolific game show producer Goodson
    Ping-pong surface

Once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. 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 two versions you can print out: a .PNG and a link to a .PDF!
