THE SLIFR FEARSOME HALLOWEEN CLASSIC HORROR FRAME-GRAB QUIZ (1933-1989)

UPDATED 11/4/2012! COMPLETE LIST OF ANSWERS AND THE WINNER NAMED BELOW!

"How deep is your love?" - The Bee Gees, 1977

****************************************

Horror fans, the season is upon us, and it's time to find out just how deep your love and your ability to recognize images from classic horror movies really goes. The 2012 SLIFR Fearsome Halloween Classic Horror Frame Quiz features 31 frame-grabs from well-known horror movies culled from between the randomly selected years 1933 and 1989, one for each day of the monsters' favorite month. (Those who have spent any time at all reading this blog won't have much trouble ascertaining what decade gets the most representation below.)

All you have to do is identify the movie from which each image comes. Completely on the honor system, of course, knowing full well that the Curse of the Demon will befall you should you be so foolhardy as to try to cheat. Remember, the movies aren't obscure-- if you know your horror genre, you shouldn't have much trouble, though some are more easily identifiable than others, based on the frames I've selected. What's more, the images have not been pilfered from the Internet but instead plucked fresh by me from various sources, which might tend to make at least some of them a little harder to trace-- but again, you won't have to worry about that unless you decide not to play fair and instead challenge the Demon. (By the way, the image seen above, from 2007's Trick 'r Treat, is not one of the 31 images to be identified.)

Just tally up your scores and leave them with your name, either here in the comments section below or under this post on my Facebook page. If you post answers here, I'll hold on to them until after Halloween so the challenge will remain fresh for everyone. Then after this coming Wednesday I'll announce the winner and publish a key for all 31 movie titles! Have fun, and never mind that hot breath on the back of your neck while you're playing. Dr. Karswell's hell-spawn only consumes them what disregards the rules.
