Question 1 of 10
1. 1980: Most horror fans would remember that in the year 1980, the very famous 'Friday the 13th' opened the door for a lot of similar films in horror cinema. While I am most definitely guilty of having a lot of love for the "slasher in the woods" type movie, I also really enjoy the more quirky, not too mainstream style of horror! One of those films that I remember fondly is written and directed by Don Dohler. It is about a corpse that winds up being brought back to life by a spirit that enters its grave. He then winds up taking the name of Mr. Longfellow, moves to the suburbs, and has to deal with a very nosy neighbor. What is the name of this film? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. 1981: While the year 1981 has its share of horror sequels ('Friday the 13th Part 2', 'Halloween II', etc.), there are also lots of other fun flicks that made their debut this year. One of them is about two teen couples that go to the town carnival and try to survive a night of terror while trapped inside one of the carnival's attractions. There is someone (or something) deadly in there with them who doesn't want them to get out alive! What is the name of this creepy classic? Hint

Question 5 of 10
5. 1984: All hardcore fans of horror know that a LOT of these films take place in wooded areas. This one is no exception! Something is stalking and killing campers at a Rocky Mountains forest. It does not look human, but it carries an axe and is looking for a female to have as a mate. What is the name of this slasher? Hint


Question 6 of 10
