Scream like you mean it! Horror movie quiz
I'm on the Spirit Committee at work, and as part of the Halloween activities I volunteered to make up a horror movie quiz. Which was rejected by the CEO, on the grounds that it would promote violence or SOMETHING. Or promote negative feelings, maybe? I never figured it out.
Anyway, it's a good quiz - though I was told it's quite hard *shrug* I made up all the questions out of my head, I just needed to check the Dracula question on imdb. The last five repeat a couple of franchises - they were originally 'alternative' questions, because I thought that some of the first 15 could be too obscure. It's my work, so I'm posting it. So there.
1 What Oscar-nominated actor made his movie debut in ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ pt 1?
2 Who was the killer in the first Friday the 13th movie?
3 What was the only ‘Halloween’ movie not to feature Michael Myers in some way?
4 How many backpackers were originally lost in ‘Wolf Creek’?
5 What is the name of the original villain in the ‘Saw’ movies?
6 What city is the setting for the zombie-fest ’28 days later’?
7 Which actor starred in all 3 ‘Evil Dead’ movies, beginning a long partnership with
director Sam Raimi and later earning the title ‘King of Cult’?

13 1979’s ‘Carrie’ was the first movie to use the ‘jump’ technique (something startling
happens in the very last scene, to make the audience jump in surprise). Who wrote
the book it was based on?
14 What’s so unusual about Chucky, villain of the ‘Child’s Play’ series?
15 What infamous ‘celebrity’ is killed off in the recent remake of ‘House of Wax’?
