Final Round

After we harassed all our guests into taking the quiz above, we scored it (on the honor system) and called the people with the top 5 scores into our final round. Each competitor was given a notepad and were given one minute to write down as many movies as they could that met the following criteria:

Name horror movies that have more that 2 sequels (so there must be more than 3 movies total in the series). Remakes don't count. Due to the sheer number of movies, we won't accept Frankenstein or Dracula as answers.

Nightmare on Elm Street (7)
Friday the 13th (10)
Phantasm (4)
Child's Play (4)
The Howling (7)
Leprechaun (6)
Halloween (8)
Puppet Master (7)
Hellraiser (6)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (4)
Psycho (4)
Alien (4)
Prom Night (4)
Critters (4)
Jaws (4)
Godzilla (lots)
Note: I'm sure there are many more, these are just the ones that we came up with.



Lightning Round

Since we had a tie in the final round, we went into the lighting round. We asked the two remaining competitors to name horror movie directors. They took turns until one of them was unable to think of one. And to the victor went the spoils!
