So I’ve been wanting to throw some quizzes out there because I always enjoy when other blogs do that. But quote quizzes were overdone years ago, and everyone does screencap quizzes, so I decided to go the extra step: a video quiz. Which is more work than I originally intended, largely because I only have Windows MovieMaker - which is cool for clipping TV shows, but less than optimal for actually editing; actually, it’s a piece of crap. But it does accept Xvid-encoded .avi files, which a lot of higher-end editing programs don’t, so there’s that. Anyway.

Most of these are going to be REALLY easy for connoisseurs of horror movies, especially classic horror movies, because I didn’t want to get too obscure all at once, and because I’m still working on getting over my dislike of horror, so most of these are fairly well known. There might be a couple that’ll test you, though. And there’s at least one that anyone should get.

So here’s the deal. You get one point for each film in the montage you can name. I won’t tell you how many films there are total (but I will say there are multiple clips from each film, and they aren’t contiguous). And you get lots of points if you can name all the clips in order. Basically, if you do that, you win. :) There’s no prize, so it’s okay if multiple people win. Go ahead and guess in the comments, and I’ll edit the post with scores. And please, people, guess! I’d like to do things like this more often, but I probably won’t if no one cares.

Happy Halloween everybody!

Scoreboard:

Edit: Also, I swear I hadn’t watched Jonathan Lapper’s latest Killfest video yet when I chose the last shot - it’s just the perfect ending shot to every murder/killing/horror movie montage, is all.
