Horror Films from the '80s: 1982 Quiz

Answer: Alone in the Dark

There is a power outage in New Jersey, and unfortunately four mental patients are able to escape through the electric doors of the mental hospital. They make their way to Dan Potter's house. Potter is their new doctor, whom they hold a grudge against for something they think he did. One of the taglines for this film is "When the lights go out the terror begins."

Answer: Blood Song

The movie title makes sense when you consider that the killer carries a wooden flute with him that he plays before he murders someone. The alternate title to this film is called 'Dream Slayer'. The tagline is "When he whistles this tune...The time for killing begins."

Answer: Madman

Madman Marz murdered his family in a psychotic rage, and now inhabits the local wooded area waiting for victims. When a group of friends are camping and hanging out, one calls his name. This makes the killer come out of hiding to stalk and murder them one by one.

Answer: Creepshow

'Creepshow' has a cast of well known actors, including Ted Danson, Leslie Nielsen, Ed Harris, Hal Holbrook and Adrienne Barbeau. 'Father's Day' is about a rich old man who comes back from the dead to avenge his family members who are responsible for his death. 'Something to Tide You Over' is about a man who gets revenge on his cheating wife and her lover by burying them up to their necks near the shore so the tide will come in and drown them. What he doesn't plan on is them coming back from the dead for revenge on HIM! 'They're Creeping Up on You' is about a mean old man who lives like a hermit in his super clean, all white apartment.

His worst nightmare begins when his apartment becomes infested with cockroaches, and no matter how many he kills...more and more keep coming! The other two short films are called 'The Crate' and 'The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill' (in which Stephen King stars as the title role). George Romero directs this classic written by King.

Answer: Basket Case
