A couple of years ago my best **fiend** released [_Horror Anthology Movie Vol. 1_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2814998/). Last year he released a limited-edition Blu-Ray of the sequel, [_Creepers_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3532544/?ref_=nm_flmg_prd_4). The latter was 200 numbered copies. (I have #039.)

The _Creepers_ limited editions sold out! 🙂

Yesterday he had a trivia quiz on Facebook for _Creepers_ #199/200. The question was, ‘Who is considered the “father” of the modern detective story? Name one of his/her stories in the genre.’ Of course I knew the answer right away; but I didn’t post it because I already have the disc. He posted the quiz on the Creepers Facebook page and also the Horror Anthology Movies Facebook page. Maybe the 744 people who ‘like’ the former weren’t online that day. After a rather long time, there were no takers. Someone won the disc three minutes after the quiz was posted on the latter. Today he’s giving away _Creepers_ #200/200. I wouldn’t mind having the Last of the Limited Edition, but it wouldn’t be fair since I already have a copy. _And_ he’s giving away _Horror Anthology Movie Vol. 1_ on DVD. As I type this, there’s only three-quarters of an hour before he posts the quiz. (I’m not posting a link, so as not to run afoul of the ‘promoting products or websites’ rule. You can find it if you want, but I suspect it will be over quickly.)

Anyway, congratulations to my friend for selling out of his film! I hope he’s as successful with his next production, _First Man On Mars_. 🙂

The trivia question was:

> [@](#):
>
> George Romero and Stephen King collaborated on CREEPSHOW (1982), considered to be one of the greatest horror anthology movies ever made.  
> In the 90’s, Romero directed another feature film based upon the work of Stephen King.
> 
> Name the movie.

Someone finally answered 8 minutes ago. I know the guy, and I’m like ‘:dubious:’. If I knew he’d win, I would have answered myself as soon as the question was posted!
