HORROR MOVIE QUIZ - A HALLOWEEN SPECIAL
HORROR MOVIE QUIZ - A HALLOWEEN SPECIAL
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS IN A COMMENT, OR YOU WILL RUIN THE QUIZ FOR EVERYONE ELSE. POST THEM IN A PRIVATE NOTE TO ME, BUZZ OF THE ORIENT, AND I WILL REPLY WITH YOUR SCORE AND THE CORRECT ANSWERS.
Don't forget that I am on the other side of the world (of most of you) and I could be asleep when you send your answers, so be patient - I will get to your PN as soon as I can.
It would be wise to read this before trying the quiz....
This time, besides the two image clues, the third clue is that the movie has to be a horror movie. As before, in many cases just identifying the images will tell you the title of the movie, but some images may be of an item or scenario that is a primary object or otherwise indicative of the plot or movie name, and you might have to have seen the movie to identify the movie. One or two could have been included in previous quizzes, but even if so I didn't use the same image clues, and as usual I don't think any of the image clues are actual screen shots from the movies. I try to use clues that do not make it easy to do a web search, and since this is a test of your movie memory, web searching using web programs that identify movies from clues is cheating.
TAKE NOTE: Since it is not impossible for you to find the actual movie names, I will be fairly strict in my scoring, so even if you guess the answer you should check the movie name on the web to make sure it is the full and correct name. For example, you will lose a half mark if you do not say "The" if the movie name starts with that word, or if you make the title two words when it is only one, for example not "Brave Heart", but "Braveheart" Also, do NOT forget punctuation marks if they are part of the title. So just identifying the images does not necessarily mean that you know the name of the movie. The images should be a CLUE to the ACTUAL name of the movie.
There are some hard ones to guess, and also some very easy ones, so give it a try and NAME THESE MOVIES.
Please number your answers the same as the images.

Please note that I based the clues on the ORIGINAL movies, not remakes or sequels, in every case, so the name of the original movies is the only correct answer.

Interesting. I couldn't figure out #4, but I think I got all the others.
Very good, so please send me a PN with your answers. By the way, I knew number 4 would be a tough one, but the first person who sent in their answers identified it.

So far 4 members have tried the quiz, and the only questions that have eluded everyone are numbers 3 and 12, which sort of surprises me because they are fairly iconic horror movies and I thought the clues were pretty relevant.
UPDATE: A 5th participant has correctly identified number 12, leaving only number 3 mysteriously unidentified.
A few are easy. I will have to work on the others.
You have time. I won't close this quiz until after the weekend.
NOTICE TO ALL PARTICIPANTS, WHO HAVE ALREADY POSTED AND THOSE YET TO DO SO:
I made a big mistake with question number 3. I thought that the mini-alien who had popped out of a persons stomach and danced on a bar wearing a top hat and carrying a cane was in the movie Alien, but it was in the movie Spaceballs. I am going to replace question number 3 with a different movie with new clues, and those who have already submitted may submit their answers for the new question and possibly increase their scores.
NUMBER 3 IS NOW REPLACED
hello my baby , hello my honey , hello my ragtime gal.........
LOL

And Thanks Buzz, it was fun
An interesting coincidence is that although some may consider the movie The Tingler that starred well known actor Vincent Price too esoteric, about an hour after I posted the clues for it that very movie was shown on my cable TV here in China.
