Albino Rover Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 With Cardinal Richelieu's hoor of a quiz over, the new season of the Film Quiz, in the second year of its two-year sponsorship by King Kebab, will be starting very soon. Most of you know the drill already, but here's a quick run-through of the basics: The quiz is weekly. Generally the rounds will be posted each Saturday with a deadline of midnight the following Friday. It's a mixed ability quiz so the questions will be of mixed difficulty. Usually there will be a theme to each round and, as ever, guest rounds are more than welcome so if you wish to host or submit a round of your own feel free to PM me. The rules: Answers should be sent in a PM to me- please start a new PM each week as I will be deleting my PMs regularly. Deadlines are as per the P&B clock and are not negotiable. Answers sent within half an hour after the deadline will be counted but will be penalised with a 1 point deduction. For people's names I'm looking for first and last names for full marks. I won't be fussy on spelling. For foreign films I'll accept either the English or the "local" name. The quiz is meant to be contested in good faith, and there is no prize, so please don't cheat. Round 1 will be posted this weekend. All welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albino Rover Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Round 2: Scream Queens There’s a reason I waited until daylight to do this round. Horror is possibly my least favourite film genre. Not because I don’t find them entertaining or impressive, but because so many of the masterpieces in the genre are so terrifying. A good horror will give me nightmares for months. I refuse to watch most of these ones alone. I was in a cold sweat last night just preparing the round. I had to watch about two hours of sitcoms to calm myself down, and still had a horrible night of spooky dreams. Pictured below are ten female characters from great horror movies. Some of them are much worse than scream queens. All you need to do this time is name the film. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Please send your answers in a new PM to me by midnight on Friday. Good luck, and for goodness' sake don't eat cheese at night this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Can't believe I didn't get Grace Kelly and Rear Window, one of my favourite films ffs. Horror is my worst genre too so I'll be well behind after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Four?!??! Utter pish Can't believe you didn't give Kill Bill volume 2. Harrumph. Still, at first glance I know at least 3 of the films so that's a small comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Round 2 submitted. Not great. Hey Albi, don't forget, films get made outside of Hollywood you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Answers sent. Had a guess at number 3 and I think I'm right on number 8, so a maximum of 2 with 1 more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Only certain of 1, 8 and 10 but taken a few guesses which could bump up the score. Annoyed I missed the first round as I would've done okay (ie. not been last anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKTID Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Missed first round being on holiday and might hazard a guess at 1 in round 2. I'll wait for round 3 i think ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Servo Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Better round for me I hope. Only one I couldn't put a name to was 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Sent, had to guess at number 3, just couldn't get it, but the annoying thing is, I'm pretty sure I've picked the DVD of this film up in a shop and had a good look at it, as I recognise the photo and reckon it's on the back of the box!!!

Albino Rover Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Round 2 Answers A few innocent victims to start. 1. The Exorcist 2. The Evil Dead 3. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Then some very scary women... 4. The terrifying Mrs. White in Carrie. 5. The even scarier Mrs. Baylock in The Omen. 6. This was the one that the fewest of you got- it's Frank Darabont's third Stephen King adaptation, The Mist. 7. Creepy, creepy Ruth Gordon in Rosemary's Baby. 8. Everyone got this one- Kathy Bates in Misery. And two of my favourite modern ones to finish. 9. 28 Days Later 10. Let The Right One In (Note- "Let Me In" was the American re-make, and Lina Leandersson wasn't in it. 0 pts for that I'm afraid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
