HORROR QUIZ
RULES
1. This is an old school quiz. It’s not interactive (well, not really). Read the questions (and clues if needed) on whatever device you are using (ideally a phone) and write your answers on a sheet of paper. Or alternatively if you'd prefer to print out the questions and clues, click here to download a printable PDF.
2. There are 50 questions in total, covering a whole range of eras, subgenres and difficulty levels. Don’t get all bitchy if you don’t like the cut of our jib.
3. There are three sections; Questions, clues and answers.
To play, read a question and write down the answer. If you need a clue, tap on the question and it should take you to the correct clue. To return to the questions, just tap on the clue. Make a note next to your answer that you used a clue. Complete all 50 questions and check your answers against those listed on the answers page at the end.
4. There are 50 questions but 100 points to play for.
If you get an answer right without using a clue, you get 2 points.
If you get an answer right but needed to use a clue, you get 1 point.
If you didn’t write down an answer or get it wrong, you get 0 points.
Good luck!
