Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Jack and Sally aren't even in this part of the movie; instead, their friend sets the tone of the film by (ironically) watching a cliche horror movie in her house before she's attacked by an unknown assailant.
The opening sequence of a film is often the best chance to exhibit a gratuitous kill to set the mood. Which of these films did not include a death before its title card appeared onscreen?
2. Considering the recent murders, Jack and Sally stay at home and lock the doors and windows. Some of their other, more skeptical, friends decide not to take precautions and one of Jack's peers is gruesomely dispatched while out on an unnecessary stroll.
The great outdoors can be a stark setting for the perfect murder. In which movie was at least one of the victims killed outdoors?
3. Okay - now people realize it's all a serious issue. A killer is on the loose. Everyone in town decides to head home before an instated curfew. One of Sally's girlfriends, Barbara, closes down the diner she works at just before the clock strikes the hour. Her remains are found in a dumpster behind the restaurant.
Which of these famous films explicitly featured a character named Barbara?
4. When Sally goes to warn another of her friends that she may be next, the two of them are ambushed by the killer! Sally gets away, but her friend isn't so lucky; she's thrown from the balcony of a sorority house. She runs back to Jack's consoling embrace and back into their house.
A gratuitous setting with obvious intents in a cliche horror film, which of these movies did not involve deaths at a sorority house?
5. Jack and Sally call the police looking for help. Informing them that many of their friends have been murdered, Jack and Sally wait for a squad car to pull up and take them to safety. The squad car never arrives.
Sometimes the scariest fear comes from the supposedly secure becoming the unsafe. In which horror movie were the police actually the enemies?
6. Before any safety can come to Jack and Sally, a momentary talk between the two of them is interrupted by a pickax thrown directly between them (though it misses and strikes a nearby wall). The two of them are forced to flee into a dark, reputedly haunted forest.
Ah! 3D gimmicks - can't have enough of those in our cliche horror film. In which of these 3D movies are you likely to see a 3D pickax thrown towards the camera?
7. After several near-misses at the hands of the killer, Jack and Sally both decide to set a trap to catch their killer once and for all. With Macgyver-like cleverness, the two create a semi-elaborate snare and successfully trap their masked murderer.
Usually, horror villains don't fall for this type of ruse, but in our film, it keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. In which of these films were the victims able to turn the tables on their killers with a trap?
8. Jack and Sally unmask the killer to find that *GASP* it was Jack's half-brother all along. They should've known - all the evidence pointed to him! It all falls into place... little do they know, though, that their captive killer is already loosening himself from their trap.
In which of these horror films was the evil killer literally unmasked?
9. Oh no! The killer has broken free! Jack and Sally run from their unmasked man but find themselves on the edge of a ravine. In a heroic act, Jack sacrifices himself to tackle his half-brother over the cliffside! Aieeee!
In which of these films was a female character the only survivor?
10. It seems everything has returned to its stasis. As the camera zooms into the killer's corpse at the bottom of the ravine, his hand clenches into a fist. Is it truly the end?!
