Film Quiz Friday: Happy Halloween!

Celebrate Halloween with a horror-themed film quiz, in which the only thing more terrifying than the last 10 questions is the first 20.

 

For most people, Halloween is going to involve staying in this year, so we’ve dedicated this week’s Halloween quiz to all things creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky, offering up three altogether-ooky rounds of horror movie trivia for various ages. Whether you’re playing solo or looking for a quiz to play with friends and family this weekend, we’ve got you covered.

Once you’ve answered all 30 questions, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. Please do get in touch in the comments and let us know how you did (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. Let’s begin…
