Thread: help with movie trivia ideas

Tweet

hey all,
im kinda new to this game!
i am having a halloween party with games, one of them being a horror movie trivia game.
this is what i have so far....

1 psycho...showe curtain with man behind it in bathroom
2 the shining...redrum written on bathroom mirror
3 carrie...bucket above door with the words they r all gonna laught at u on it
4 halloween...grave dug up with lori strode written on it
5 beetlejuice...a beatle with juice in a cup
6 the birds...black birds set up in upper corner of room
7 friday the 13... sign with crystal lake
8 rosemaries baby...baby prop with rosemarie written on shirt


still need a bunch more, also wanted to know ur thoughts...

Anything Zombie!
Also alot of older scary movies, like Creature from The Black Lagoon, The Thing, The Haunting, The Birds, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,....and the clues are pretty easy for these ones,...ooh and don't forget a vampire movie! I like this idea, I may borrow it!

Not horror movies, but I am working on a game based on witches and television and movies. I wanted to do a DVD of scenes from these, but I don't have time. So at the moment I am planning to do a Witch Hunt throughout my front yard, house, screened porch and back yard. I will print up something that looks witchy for them to write on and they are to look for things that reference movie or television witches. The one who gets the most wins. I am working on something special to keep them from sharing lists. Since I will use this at my Be WITCHY party, I feel they will be compeititive.

Some of the things around the house will be actual props, others will be photos of the famous witches printed off and in frames or hanging on the walls, (I ordered a big one of the Oz wicked witch). I will have a pair of stuffed striped socks with the ruby slippers under the edge of the shed out back. I will also use the top of my flat stove for a reference to Hansel and Gretel with the meat pies with fingers sticking out and maybe a hand or leg in a stew pot. I got that idea from one of the women who host an annual witchy party---sorry I can't remember which one of you. I will have a big bowl of cherries on the table for a reference to the Witches of Eastwick, etc.

I may even add some of the theme music from the shows or series.

this is a great idea! i'm definitely stealing it!


Dirty Brown Hat (or ugly red/grey striped sweater) - Nightmare on Elm St.
Black and White "OBEY" sign - They Live
Manhole cover in driveway (perhaps with hands sticking out) - C.H.U.D.
Necronomicon book on altar - Evil Dead Series
Picnic Basket with blood on it - Basketcase
Syringe filled with glow stick fluid - Re-Animator
Puzzlebox - Hellraiser
Rocket Model Kit - The Gate
T.V. with nothing but static - Poltergeist
Bloody chainsaw - Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Bloody hand sickle - Childeren of the Corn
Bloody Santa Hat - Silent Night, Deadly Night
Bloody Cat (stuffed animal) - Sleepwalkers

i could go on and on...

Cool idea!

How about a prop chainsaw set on a map of Texas?

For a bizarre pun and maybe a challenge for some, a hot dog in a beer mug (Frank & stein).

I did this exact game last year. I picked ten movies and made small props to go with them. I then scattered them through the house and guests had to find them and then write down the answers on a sheet of paper. We took all the entries at the end of the night and picked one for a gift certificate.

My main resource for this was a web game that M&Ms had for their dark chocolate M&Ms a couple of years ago. It's a picture with 50 hidden horror titles.

Just click on each hint and then type in the name of the movie title. It's a fun little game and they definitely make you think.

Here's the entire list if you want to cheat.

Hope this helps.
