Time to test your knowledge – and luck, of course – of the macabre, with some terrifying Halloween movie trivia! While the origin of “All Hallows' Eve” remains unclear, Halloween is when people around the world remember the dead.
In many countries, every October 31st, children adorn themselves in costumes that represent their fantasies and alter egos. Some dress as monsters, witches and other monsters, while some dress as superheroes and princesses. They run door-to-door screaming “trick or treat,” a custom which playfully threatens mischief on treat-less homeowners.
Property owners decorate their porches and lawns with pumpkins carved with ghoulish faces and frightening jack-o'-lanterns – either to ward off evil spirits, or perhaps to scare away the threatening and menacing children!
Like clockwork, scary Halloween movies released each fall tantalize and terrorize audiences in advance of this spookiest night of the year.
Now take our fun quiz to find out how many of these movies you remember!
