You need only look at the current cinema listings to see how many different ways there are to name a horror sequel, whether it’s a tasteful Part II, (A Quiet Place) an unimprovable Devil Made Me Do It, (The Conjuring) or the downright baffling Spiral: From The Book Of Saw. So, this week’s quiz has got another subtitle round, this time focusing on the many scary and otherwise horror-adjacent franchises on the go.
Once you’ve completed all three rounds, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. As always, this is just for fun, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. As with titling horror sequels, it’s all just for fun and a bit of a daft laugh, apparently…
