What was the name of the killer in the movie Friday the 13th?

In what movie was someone killed for getting that trivia question wrong (just like you did)?

Add that last bit to the second question if they said Jason or Jason Vorhees. And look to Scream to see the answer to the first one. It’s also got the killer doing other trivia questions for his intended victim… you can steal that bit.

Star Trek cast members have been cast in a number of horror films, ranging from the good to the gawdawful. Unfortunately for you guys, we thought having a question in which the answer was “Leonard Nimoy/‘The Invasion of the Body Snatchers’ remake” would be way too easy! Here’s three tougher questions testing your knowledge of post-_Trek_ career humiliations:

Q: From Tribbles to bunny rabbits: which cast member from the original _Trek_ TV show starred in a cheesy 1972 horror flick featuring a bunch of gigantic, carnivorous bunny rabbits, and what was the name of this fodder for the drive-in circuit?

A: DeForest Kelley/ **Night of the Lepus**.  
Q: Which cast member co-starred in an occult horror film in which a goat-horned Ernest Borgnine collects the souls of the damned in a large glass bottle, and what was the name of this turkey from 1975?

A: William Shatner/ **The Devil’s Rain**.  
Q: Which 1998 “cockroach invasion” flick had the improbable good taste to feature not one, but _two_, former officers of the _U.S.S. Enterprise_ – and who were these hapless actors?

A: **Bug Buster** , with James Doohan and George Takei.

Well, I’ve seen only parts of the first two… but it was certainly enough to realize how awful they were.

Anyway, the Shatner opus **The Devil’s Rain** is on tonight at 2:00 AM EST on AMC. And it really sucks (as for the ending, let’s just say it’s all wet), so don’t say I didn’t warn you. 😉
