Like some sort of Friday Krueger, the film quiz is back for one more scare – here are 31 spooky movie-related questions for Halloween…
Not to quote Ethan Hawke in Black Phone 2, but “dead is just a word”. While real life and the next stage of the Film Stories quiz (more on which soon, we hope!) brought the weekly 30-question quiz to an end, I couldn’t resist writing another Halloween-themed quiz when the 31st actually landed on a Friday. And this one goes up to 31 questions, covering this year’s horror hits, final lines from older movies, and other spooky trivia!
If you’re a Film Quiz Friday newbie, here’s how it works – once you’ve completed all 31 questions, 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, and there are no prizes, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 31 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. And for everyone else, the next phase is underway – this isn’t goodbye, it’s “we’ll be right back…!”
