“Night brings terror. Strange, alien forms move restlessly across the face of the earth. Fear, horror and death follow in their wake. The sky is dark; the moon has not yet risen; the stars seem too frightened to shine ..." --- Drake Douglas (introduction to Horrors)

Horror QUIZ #23: Odd Film Out

April 7th 2008 23:42
This one’s a little Sesame Street. You have to pick the movie that’s not like the others. I know there’ll be the smart alecs out there who’ll find something – anything – to differentiate one film significantly from the others, but I’ve carefully chosen these movies; three of them will share a quite specific similarity in subject matter, sub-genre, production statistic or credit, or a certain narrative element, or maybe something else entirely. So how clever are you at picking the odd one out?

1.
a) My Bloody Valentine
b) Prom Night
c) Halloween
d) Christine

2.
a) Near Dark
b) The Addiction
c) Blade
d) The Howling

c) Black Sunday
d) The Exorcist

13.
a) King Kong
b) Jaws
c) Cujo
d) The Lost World

13 … Even with a blindfold and earmuffs on you’d spot the imposter!
9 – 12 … You’re a whiz at those IQ logical sequence tests too!
5 – 8 … I can tell you’ve watched Sesame Street before!

What's the SIMPLEST, SCARIEST scenario you can think of?

March 20th 2008 22:46
Spider nightmare
Nightmares are made up of all sorts of nasty, horrendous elements. They play upon your deep-rooted fears. They thrust you into the realm of violent death. Torture you with the prospect of serious pain and anguish. Sometimes there’s no blood whatsoever; instead they can simply consist of a normal reality where everything seems right, but something is intrinsically and very distressingly wrong.

Horror movies eat nightmares for breakfast.

So what would be the scariest situation you could find yourself in? What basic scenario would be the one you’d crap your pants in? Where shivers would ripple up and down your spine? A cold sweat would break out upon your brow? Goosebumps of terror would run along your arms?

I know I’d lose my marbles if I was thrust into a dark dank pit about 2mx2m which was filled with enormous tarantulas. I know tarantulas don’t possess a deadly bite per se, but I’m arachnophobic when it comes to the hairy spiders. Tarantulas are huge and hairy, and yeah, the bite would definitely hurt, so if there were a lot of them and they felt threatened … Add a few dozen funnelweb spiders and the game is over grover.

I know I’d shit myself something chronic if I was set adrift on the ocean on a small makeshift raft 2mx2m pitching and lolling on a huge swell, and surrounding me were several large hungry great white sharks, and the raft’s wooden surface was slippery.

Get my drift?

What would yours be?

Horror QUIZ #18: Mastermind Series - III

January 29th 2008 01:47
The third in my name-that-movie-from-a-single -still series. A quiz for the serious-minded horror movie buffs. You need to be on the money here; original complete title, or foreign title if the movie was originally released in a foreign tongue, any alternate titles (if it had any), and year of production and/or release.

Of course a couple of these might seem damn easy, but then, as my papa used to say "It's only easy when you know the answer." I suppose I could have made it tougher; name the director and country of origin as well, but hey, I’ll leave that for the next Mastermind level further down the track

Horror QUIZ #17: Mastermind Series II

September 21st 2007 03:25
This is the second in my Mastermind Series where you must identify a movie from a still. No multiple choices for the lazy here folks, this is quiz for the serious girly-swat horrorphiles out there.

Name the movie’s original title (if it was in a foreign language then its foreign title), if it has an alternate title you need to name that too, and you need to state the year it was produced and/or released (these sometimes differ, either will do

Horror QUIZ #16: Mastermind Series I

August 22nd 2007 01:12
I’m upping the ante with this one, the first in a series where you must identify a movie from a still. However this quiz is designed for the serious horrorphile. No multiple choice here folks. This will sort out the men from the boys, the women from the girls. Sure, some of you will find a couple of the stills easy-peasy, but then the next two will stump you cold. Ha!

Definitely a quiz for the geeks and completists: you need to name the movie’s original title (if it was in a foreign language then its foreign title), if it has an alternate title you need to name that too, and you need to state the year it was produced and/or released (these sometimes differ, either will do

Horror QUIZ #15: Is This Really a Movie Title?!

August 6th 2007 04:18
Of all the movie genres horror movies are the ones most likely to sport an absurd movie title. Some over the top, outrageously contrived title designed to lure its audience through the use of lurid, shlocky, or shocking words and themes. Personally I prefer the simpler titles, like Halloween or Alien, but the crazy ones are amusing.

Can you guess which of the following titles are real and which ones I’ve made up? Very straight forward this quiz: true or false, you decide

Horror QUIZ #14: Whose Eye Am I? - II

July 23rd 2007 01:53
I had so much fun with the first “name that figure” quiz that I’m straight into another one. So study that partial face, look closely into that eye, it’s a window to some dark soul … whose eye could that be? And you can't simply name the movie, you gotta identify the character!

Name that face! Identify that figure! Nail that killer! Thirteen iconographic, and semi-iconographic (can’t make it too easy), ocular images. Do you have the skill to complete the Pleasure of Nightmares’ Line-Up? How keen is your eye?

Horror QUIZ #11: Where's that Quote From?

May 30th 2007 02:51
cartoon image of a boom operator
Horror movies are sometimes remembered for a stupid line uttered by a victim, often they’re championed because of dialogue spoken with maniacal glee or sardonic sadism by a nasty villain. Other times the line is remembered because of its irony or wit. And then there are the quotes which are etched into our memeories simply because they seemed so unassuming, yet they lingered long enough in our minds that their subtext became highly relevant.

It’s always fun throwing a few ripe words around to see who’ll make the connection. See if you can name the film these quotes are from. And for added kudos, identify the character that says the line
