Pretty good start for most of you!
The more comments.... the quicker I'll put up the results

At least I got a pointless *.* Queen Kathy Bates saving me.
I think I might have got Question 4 wrong Just realised it said American!
4. Name an American horror movie which was released in the 1910s.

0- The Haunting Fear- Regina
0- The Skull- Jaspine Thompson

20- Madonna MDNA Tour - DVD Edition- Dan
20- Dracula- Jack (the earliest film based on Dracula I can find is from the 1920s)
20- Gone With The Wind- Dobbo
5 of you decided to go for German films here, and Harry went for a British one However, all those films were released within the 1910s (no half marks though as the question specifically asked for an American horror film! )And poor Madonna Dracula and Gone With The Wind both weren't released in the decade specified
Phew *.* Completely ignored the American part so thank gosh the one I went for was a correct answer!
Omg I never usually do this well in Pointless! *.* -has jinxed it-
(may have cackled a lil at Dan's answer)
YASSS ME *.*
5. Name a movie nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Horror Film which is NOT American.
POINTLESS:
0- The City of Lost Children- princess_lotti
0- House of Mortal Sin- Acidburn
0- Cronos- Jaspine Thompson,

1- The Medusa Touch- Oliver, Regina
1- The Babadook- Jack, J▲hq
1- The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane- HausofTroye, CodySlayberry
WRONG ANSWERS:
20- The Ring- Dan (although the original is Japanese, it was the American 2002 version which received a nomination and also won the Saturn Award for Best Horror Film in 2002)
20- Final Destination 3- HarryEzra (the birth of #GothicLarry, but very sadly is a wrong answer as it’s an American film!)
20- A Serbian Film- Dobbo (not nominated)
There is quite a lot of pointless answers here if you just take time looking at all the obscure ones Some very good films here, Babadook, The Wicker Man and Mama are probably my top 3 from that list! I feel so cruel having to give you so many points for Final Destination 3 Harry as it's ICONIC But I'm no lenient quizmaster (you will particularly see this for Q6 where another slaughter is coming....) and Dobbo I had to check several times I wasn't using your Q7 answer there! But A Serbian Film has never received a nomination for the Saturn Award.
So glad I read the questions very carefully and wasn't caught out by the American thing either time!
(I think the most pointlesses I've ever got in a row is 2 so quite amazed right now lol)
Yay Wolf Creek being pointless, love the movie
Loving the presentation so far Lotti Also please can people also join in the Razzies final ceremony just so it's not me making about 5 posts in a row!
I'm pretty sure I got #6 right *.*
Yaaaaas. Slaying so far but fully expecting to trip up on a question soon!
Not flopping like in the last round *.* (watch me get the next one wrong)
OH I THOUGHT IT HAD TO WIN
Anyway I'm doing crap but I'm waiting for the FD5 and bonus question answers because I really wanna know what Lotti is really afraid of. Looks like I'm not a horror fan after all
(Watch it be nothing ~)
6. Name a horror movie released this decade starring a ginger female.
POINTLESS:
0- Dark Skies (Annie Thurman)- Joe.
0- Kristen Connolly (Cabin In The Woods)- Jonjo
0- Crimson Peak- •Josh•
0- Jessabelle (Sarah Snook)- Jade
0- Splice- HausofTroye
0- Carrie- Oliver, Regina
5- Oculus (Karren Gillan)- princess_lotti, Chez Wombat, Jaspine Thompson, Ultraviolence1989, burbe, Cody Slayberry
20- Spiceworld The Movie- Dan
20- The Final Destination- Jack (although it features ginger characters none of the leading females are ginger as far as I can gather!)
20- The Conjuring- Alex! (Also from what I can gather most of the starring females are brunette!)
20- Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2- Dobbo (sorry I’m not going to class this as a horror film )
20- The Wolfman- J▲hq (once again, I googled Emily Blunt in the Wolfman and she appeared to be brunette in all but one picture, and the only picture she had red hair didn’t seem to be a film still!)
20- The Forgotten (Julianne Moore)- Acidburn (released in 2004)
20- Santa Sangre- HarryEzra (released in 1989)
Okay this question took me AGES to point up Firstly I was very strict on what I permitted as ginger The word "starred" meant that the character had to be of significance to the movie, and not a lowly supporting neighbour or something For movies I haven't seen I tried to judge the cast fairly to interpret whether the character was relevant enough HOWEVER, what unfortunately caught Acidburn and Harry out was the "this decade" bit, all three of their movies starred ginger actors but weren't released this decade! (2010 onwards)
the bonus question is going to be a fun one it turns out you guys are good at guessing my fears
Omg I was stuck for AGES on this question as none came into my head. Glad that this answer paid off after digging around for quite a bit!
To be fair to Bal, Splice was 2010 here . I saw it whilst working here at my job and I started in Feb 2010.
Julianne Moore, a ginger, was in the Carrie remake though
7. Name a horror movie which was controversial when it was released.
POINTLESS:
0- Nekromantik - Joe.
0- Anthropophagus- Oliver
0- A Cannibal Holocaust- Jonjo
0- A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge- Cody Slayberry
1- The Exorcist- Ultraviolence1989, HausofTroye
1- Silent Night, Deadly Night- Regina, Jaspine Thompson,
2- I Spit On Your Grave- Acidburn, Alex!, burbe
3- The Human Centipede- princess_lotti, Jack, •Josh•, Dobbo
3- Psycho- HarryEzra, Chez Wombat, J▲hq, Jade
WRONG ANSWERS:
20- Kiss The Stars M/V- Dan
Okay this round went a lot better, and I actually found this one interesting/disgusting to look up. I definitely won't be visiting the Wiki page for A Cannibal Holocaust again, and I will 100% never watch it I've always thought of Psycho as an iconic horror film (which I STILL haven't seen) and I found reading about that controversy quite interesting! I won't detail all the controversies here as they're mainly NSFW but well done to 19/20 of you
((DAMMIT Dan I have that song in my head now))
Didn't know Sarah Snook was in Jessabelle, may check that out now as she was excellent in Predestination! Also how did I forget about Jessica Chastain!
Karen Gillan was excellent in the fantastic Oculus, such a great performance and easily the first performance that popped into my head
I KNEW MY FASCINATION WITH NIGHTMARE WOULD COME IN HANDY
Desperate to see Jessabelle, it looks fantastic!
Loving how swift and smooth this is all going by the way Lotti.
(FYI I would've put 'Lindsey leaving you' for the bonus question if I had realised it was a thing )
8. Name an iconic slasher film from the 1990s.
POINTLESS:
0- Child’s Play 2- princess_lotti
0- I Still Know What You Did Last Summer- Oliver
0- Scream- Jack

0- Leprechaun 2- Jaspine Thompson
0- I Know What You Did Last Summer- burbe
0- Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III- HausofTroye
0- Urban Legend- Jade
0- Mikey- Chez Wombat
2- Child’s Play 3- Joe., Jonjo, Cody Slayberry
4- Scream 2- Acidburn, Regina, •Josh•, Ultraviolence1989, J▲hq
WRONG ANSWERS:
20- Titanic- Dan
20- Saw- Dobbo (first released in 2004)
Some ABSOLUTELY fantastic films here yet again I did laugh at Titanic
LOL TITANIC
I might reveal the bonus question dramatically, as there was actually only one wrong answer
Kiss The Stars! and Titanic!!!!
I seem to be getting nothing wrong but the top answer with basically every single question Thought going for Scream 2 would be a good tactical move as most would go for the 1st one. Oops!
Crimson Peak was the first female that popped into my head, she is a ginger female starring in a horror film though even though I think it was dyed in the actual film. Yay loopholes and Lotti for accepting it
Dammit I thought the same as Celine with Scream 2.
POSSIBLY NSFW
(gore, violence, etc)
9. Give one of the deaths from Final Destination 5.
POINTLESS:
0- Mangled/drowned during bridge collapse- Joe
0- Explosion Likely incinerated, plane exploded (Flight Attendant)- Oliver

5- Crushing/Head Trauma: Fell and buddha fell on face, crushing head- princess_lotti, Acidburn, Ultraviolence1989, Alex!, HausofTroye, J▲hq
WRONG ANSWERS:
20- Oliva's Death in Laser Eye Surgery- HarryEzra (sorry I can’t give you this one, as she didn’t die during the laser eye surgery!)
20- NASCAR crash- Dobbo (I’m afraid this was Final Destination 4!)
RIGHT. To settle this fairly, I pulled up the list of deaths from this webite: http://horror.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_deaths_in_Final_Destination_series and if I felt like your answers matched the definition I put them into that category. Sorry Harry, I knew you'd go for Queen Olivia but yeah, the actual cause of her death wasn't the eye surgery! (I hate giving you points for FD answers)
The NASCAR Crash in the 4th movie *.* Think that's the only Final Destination I've seen (I need to see the others!)
Lol'ed when I read that death for my answer, omg at getting the top answer yet again though!!
I KNEW I should've gone for 'Scream'! But I really thought that'd be one people double bluffed on!
10. Name a horror movie directed or written by Scott Derrickson.
POINTLESS:
0- Devil’s Knot- HarryEzra
0- Hellraiser: Inferno- Jade

WRONG ANSWERS:
20- The Human Centipede- Dan

Another good round for the majority of you here! Cody and Chez, I couldn't find any connection to the Poltergeist by Derrickson so please let me know if I have missed something
get ready for the bonus question....
I nearly went for Exorcism Of Emily Rose so thank gosh I didn't!
BONUS QUESTION
11. Name something in a horror movie that would scare me.
POINTLESS:
0- Jump scares- Acidburn
0- Shrek appearing and being shot/stabbed to death- Regina
0- Shrek turning psychotic and brutally murdering all of his friends- Chez Wombat
0- Demonic Babies- Harry Ezra
0- Little girls- HausofTroye
0- Torture- Jonjo
0- Creepy knocking on door and it is the villain of the movie with the character inside the house- Ultraviolence1989
0- A demonic spirit- burbe
0- The Northampton Clown- J▲hq
0- Someone being decapitated- Cody Slayberry
0- Nekkid Grandma- Dobbo
1- Dolls coming to life- Oliver, Alex!
WRONG ANSWERS:
20- A Ghost (featuring Halsey)- Dan (when could Halsey EVER terrify me)
!!!!!! Okay let's explain these...
Jump scares always get me, as anyone who's watched a film with me on rabb.it would know, as I have been known to scream or throw my laptop away! Oliver has the benefit of having watched horror films with me before, so probably remembers my BIGGEST horror movie fear is dolls, so them coming to life is just horrific for me, and Alex managed to guess that too! Regina gave what could possibly be the most terrifying thing to happen if they ever were to release another Shrek, but yes Chez, Shrek killing Donkey and the squad would be equally terrifying/heartbreaking Bal and Harry are on similar lines but not close enough that I felt like I needed to point them! Babies are terrifying in all aspects, but yes little creepy girls in horror movies always creep me out, like those little girls in paranormal activity or that girl in Case 39! Jonjo torture also freaks me out because it always makes me physically cringe! I had to look away during that scene in El Laberinto Del Fauno when I watched that recently. UV also has watched a horror movie with me recently, and yes I hate those kind of scenes as they're always so subtle and intense and then it just turns into me screaming at the main character like wHAT ARE TOU DOING EGRTIN OUT OF THERE!!O@L!@!!!! I think I would be lying if I said demonic spirits didn't scare me, I think they scare everyone Although some horror movies are so unconvincing with their demonic possessions that they turn quite funny! J▲hq clowns are terrifying in the same way I'm scared of children, I don't trust clowns they're too smiley. Cody I HATE gore specifically to do with necks, so I would definitely have to hide if I saw someone being decapitated And yes Dobbo.... if a random "nekkid" grandma appeared I would be freaked out, I'll give you this one!
HALSEY IS AN ANGEL
I'll get rolling with the results in a bit who do you think won?
Dolls are a huge NO for me too! I am still yet to see 'Annabelle' just because that doll is terrifying af! I can't even look at the cover/poster!
I watched Annabelle, and yep, was terrifying The urban legend of 'Annabelle' always terrified me as a kid, ever since my primary school teacher read it out to us!
Whilst you are waiting for the results, the next Movies Pointless will be dropping *soonish*
19. Dobbo- 183
20. Dan- 183
Taking the last two spots in a draw, is Dobbo and Dan!
I knew Shrek would save me
I loved Annabelle! Yay getting the bonus right, had a feeling I would for that one (after we both were scared so much during that It Follows moment!)
Dobbo/Dan slaying the bottom 3 closeness again *.* (without Bre this time!)
Hoping I came top 10 but I'm going to go for lucky number 13th considering I scored like top answer for every question!
I'm going to announce these in rapid pairs until the top 5 probably for ~drama!
17. Acidburn- 77
18. HarryEzra- 89
I love slow rollouts, they are always the best and most tensionful (is that a word? I thought it was but it is saying it isn't!)
15. Cody Slayberry-51
16. Jack-73
We'll be starting to see a dramatic decrease in points now as it gets closer!
Oh phew I thought the bonuses would be minus points or something so not too big a loss not doing it then! Lmao at some of those answers.
Hoping for top 3 *.*
At least I beat Cody <3 xx
13. •Josh•-37
14. J▲hq-39
I feel like I let the horror community down
I knew I shouldn't have done this BUT YOU HAD ME AT FINAL DESTINATION
11. burbe- 34
12. Alex!- 35
JUST missing out the top 10 is burbe and Alex!
Just ONE wrong score was so critical in this edition!
Ooof the top 2 in my game both missing the top 12 here
(and beating Jahq is *.* after the last round!)
9. Joe- 30
10. Chez Wombat- 33
Joe and Chez kick off our top 10! Still incredibly close!
Wait how am I anywhere near the top 8?
Sure I'll be up in 8th next!
7. princess_lotti- 22
8. Ultraviolence1989- 25
yep well done UV, you were 8th the current duo-hosts of the Lana poll being announced together *.* #UltraLotti
why do I always seem to do best in my own games/rates?
Girl powah *.*
6. Oliver- 19
This is all getting so so close now, as no one to come obviously got any answers wrong, it all depends on how good you were at picking those obscurities!
5. Jaspine Thompson- 16
kicking off the top 5 is spadz (seriously tho I still don't get your username )
Thinking a Jade win after so many pointless answers!
Who else is still in the running?
It's between Jade, Regina, Jonjo and HausofTroye!
Also Girl Power and Lana Poll hosts slaying the same post *.* Knew I wasn't getting any higher than 8th after there was only 8 of us remaining, shocked I got even that high!! I seemed to get nothing wrong but got the top answer for basically every single question!
Going to predict:
1) Jade
2) Haus
3) Jonjo
4) Regina (mostly because of us all going for Scream 2 and not Scream!)
4. Regina- 15
#Chace2017
3. HausofTroye- 12
Jonjo vs Jade
Battle of the Js
Battle of the J's *.* Sticking with my guts that Jade has won this because I remember Jonjo picking up a couple of points for the Slasher movie one!
2. Jonjo- 7
1. Jade- 4
WELL DONE !!!!!
4 is an incredibly low score Well done for not getting tricked out by any of my sneaky wordings of my question
OMG! First time I've ever won a Pointless on BJ. Thrilled with how low that score is. *.*
Thanks for doing this Lotti, was really fun.
Congrats Jade Absolutely fantastic score and one of the best I've seen in one of these games
Also thanks so much for hosting Lotti, you have done an excellent job with the scores and presentation and were a fantastic host

WELL DONE to EVERYBODY who took part! I really enjoyed hosting this, thanks UV for letting me do it I'd love to do another sort of game in the future! I hope you all had fun too, thank you for sticking with me
Keeping my top 10 streak up, yesss *.* Thanks for hosting this Lotti!
Could I possibly apply to host one of these rounds quite soon? Dunno if there's a list or anything but whenever's fine ;o
oh a leaderboard sounds FAB, I love the idea of that!
I'd definitely be up for hosting something again UV when there's a gap, but let others go first
Yes would very much like the idea of a leaderboard *.* wish I'd been entering these since the start!
Not me slaying in a round i had no confidence in *.* #chace2017
Wait is Emily Blunt not a natural ginger / red head. I think I was led astray by remembering her from The Devil Wears Prada above all else
Damn. Thanks for hosting anyway Lotti (and for accepting the Northampton clown as an answer ). And don't worry UV, it'll be the leaderboard that matters (I'm coming for you)
oops that picture was huge let me choose another
2nd! OH YEAHHHH! Really happy about that and in a genre I adore too!
I like the idea of a leaderboard, UV. You just gonna make it 1st place 20 points, 2nd 19 points... etc..?
Thanks for a great round, Lotti! Loved this one!
Wow I totally tanked on this
Well Done Jade
Just got time to see this. Nice, quick presenting Lotti which I like when it comes to answers. Thanks for doing this as well, I have a love/hate relationship with horror films so it was good to do some digging on Google about the more obscure ones!
One niggly thing for me though is that I've counted my points and only got 10 so I should be 3rd, no?
Smashed it again.
Also Great hosting Lotti
I actually didn't do too bad. I had no idea about the ginger lead and thought Carrie would be too obvious, which it wasn't.
4th and beating Jahq Jonjo saving me with that Splice debacle *.*
This was a fantastic round, thank you for hosting Lotti <3
