Alright, I’m throwing an early Halloween party this weekend and need some trivia questions about horror movies to finish out a little trivia game with door prizes idea. Unfortunately, all my creative juices are gone. Please help. I prefer to stick to questions inside the context of the movie like; Q - When vactioning in Tarker’s Mill, you should always pack? A - a ‘Silver Bullet.’ instead of questions about actors, original screenplay titles and such. But I’ll take what I can get. Spoiler boxes optional. Read at your own peril. No animals were harmed in the posting of this thread. etc. etc. Please Dope, pull my sausage out of the grinder on this one. -rainy ---
