Things that go stump in the nightBecause I’m addicted to horror movies and to isolating frame grabs from them, I thought I’d throw you folks a bone in the form of a Halloween Horror Movie Quiz! (Cue fanfare.) Below you’ll see some haunting screen captures; your job is to guess (if you dare) which movie each image comes from. Some will be easy… while others will be (cue slap of thunder) nearly impossible to identify. (Cue evil laughter.) Feast your eyes… 1.) Not only the shadow knows what Euro-shocker this is from… I know. But I’m not tellin’!
2. Here’s something you don’t see every day… but think you can swing an identification? 3. From what cult horror flick did this problem child spawn? 4. Admit it – you’re already hooked! But what American horror movie is this weirdo from? 5. Meeting this guy in a dark alley would be preferable to looking at his ugly mug! Recognize him? 6. Some movie locations become like characters in and of themselves. Recognize this uncozy landscape? 7. I’ll give you a clue… KING KONG this ain’t! 8. Don’t feel blue if you’re not doing well. It’s not like there’s a prize for winning! 9. My apologies if this kind of thing really isn’t your cup of tea. 10. Boy, the above distressed damsel looks like she can’t wait for this day to be over. 11. Oh, and it’s perfectly acceptable to consult some friends. 12. You’re almost done… have you got this thing in the bag? 13. So… are you best in show? Answers will be provided next week. In the meantime, you can grade your prowess accordingly. 13 Correct: You are the King of the Zombies!
12 Correct: You are the Son of Dracula. Or possibly Dracula. Too close to call.
11 Correct: You are more George Zucco than Boris Karloff, but still up there!
10 Correct: Remember that guy who lived all the way through HOSTEL and then got killed in the first 10 minutes of HOSTEL 2? That’s you.
9 Correct: You are a minor dinosaur. But still a dinosaur. Just minor.
8 Correct: You’re like the werewolf in RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE – more cute than threatening.
7 Correct: You are a hunckbacked assistant. Pull up your socks.
6 Correct: If you tried harder, you might be a fine hunchbacked assistant.
5 Correct: You’re strictly Johnny Alucard, baby. A wannabe!
4 Correct: You are qualified to be a minion. Start minioning.
3 Correct: You are the investigating police officer who dies horribly.
2 Correct: You are the comic relief Victim who dies thirty minutes in.
1 Correct: You are designated First Victim!
0 Correct: I’ll give you this. You’ve got nerve.

I’d love to answer these questions but…the words get stuck in my throat..Plus The Witchmaker put me in this Chamber of Horrors and I’m not sure my skull can’t take this carnival of souls that makes me long for fairy tales about beauty. Uh oh, here comes the beast….is he really from the house where evil dwells? What was the name of that werewolf in Return of the Vampire? I guess it was Fred. As for a minion, you need 9 more of me (a little Jewish humor). Hooray! I’m a minion! The world needs minions, too – those coffins don’t move themselves! Darn! First victim. Just tattoo “loser” across my forehead. Very Grim! There’s already a First Victim – does that make me Second Victim? I already suffer from “second child syndrome”! Just out of curiosity, Patricia, which one did you recognize? I am proudly a member of comic relief! I recognized the last pic Which one did I recognize? As I lay gasping in a pool of my own ineptitude – the last one! This was fun, and I spent way too much time trying to figure them out, but I made it to at least hunchbacked assistant, and maybe to cute werewolf. Leave a Reply |
