temporary banner as I know Lindsey will likely kill me for using the chiller font

Hello Buzzjack, I want to play a game... of Pointless!

The rules are simple... try to answer the questions below with the most obscure answer possible, and PM them to myself (http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?act=Msg&CODE=4&MID=21777). Lower scores are better here people! And don't get anything wrong......

You have until Thursday 25th February with results following on either the Friday or Saturday.

1. Name a horror movie remake, of which the original came from 1980-1989.
2. Name a horror movie based on the works of Stephen King.
3. Name a character that Anthony Hopkins has played in a horror movie.
4. Name an American horror movie which was released in the 1910s.
5. Name a movie nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Horror Film which is NOT American.
6. Name a horror movie released this decade starring a ginger female.
7. Name a horror movie which was controversial when it was released.
8. Name an iconic slasher film from the 1990s.
9. Give one of the deaths from Final Destination 5.
10. Name a horror movie directed or written by Scott Derrickson.

BONUS QUESTION

11. Name something in a horror movie which would scare me.

*I'm judging controversial in terms of reaction to content. If you want to provide an explanation as to why you believe your choice is controversial, I will consider them all, but this isn't essential.

Good luck, and if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Not participated in a game of Pointless for a while now and I've missed it! I do like the odd horror film so I'll enter this soon

Posted by: Joe. 18th February 2016, 11:13 AM

Anthony King ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Posted by: HausofTroye 18th February 2016, 12:37 PM

Was genuinely thinking yesterday of asking UV if I could do a horror edition my favourite genre by far, so I am coming to win this!

Posted by: Oliver 18th February 2016, 01:13 PM

Who is Anthony King?

Posted by: Joe. 18th February 2016, 01:16 PM

Wait, wait, wait... It's not meant to be Anthony Hopkins is it?

If not, Google/IMDB are no help.

Posted by: princess_lotti 18th February 2016, 01:38 PM

Yes it is Anthony Hopkins, I'm sorry that was a typo

Posted by: princess_lotti 18th February 2016, 01:42 PM

Anthony King is a good author though

Posted by: Chez Wombat 18th February 2016, 03:06 PM

Yesss at this *.* There is not enough horror love in these quizzes so this is exactly what we need, will send v. soon!

Posted by: Regina 18th February 2016, 03:12 PM

This is gonna be a "hope for the best" kind of round for me horror is not my genre, but a great concept.

Posted by: Acidburn 18th February 2016, 03:18 PM

Just re-submitted my answer for the Anthony Hopkins one, thanks for the heads up. Love playing these games.

Posted by: J▲hq 18th February 2016, 04:19 PM

Oh no, horror is not my genre. But I shall thoroughly research in a quest to beat Bal as usual .

Posted by: princess_lotti 21st February 2016, 11:36 AM

More entries please

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 21st February 2016, 12:04 PM

Will do this later today or tomorrow Lotti

Also I can send reminders to people to enter tomorrow if you want? I am sending one for Buzz-Hype and Awards so I can add Family Fortunes in that one if you want

Posted by: princess_lotti 21st February 2016, 12:38 PM

Yes please

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 21st February 2016, 03:45 PM

Premonition or actual?

Posted by: Jaspine Thompson 22nd February 2016, 04:53 PM

I'm in

Posted by: princess_lotti 22nd February 2016, 07:57 PM

I'll accept any deaths from this movie!

Posted by: •Josh• 22nd February 2016, 07:58 PM

Don't really know a thing about horror so just went for the famous answers and hoping to do OK by getting them all right (I think so anyway ). Final Destination is right up my street though, such a laugh! Picked my favourite death from that film, never fails to make me laugh.

Posted by: Jonjo 22nd February 2016, 08:10 PM

YASSSSS great round. Some really interesting questions that I'm awaiting to see answers for!

The ginger female one is really hard! Even hard to research (mainly thanks to that 'Ginger Snaps' film )

Excited for these results. Hopefully I can finally WIN a round. But one or two questions always seem to let me down majorly

Posted by: princess_lotti 25th February 2016, 04:21 PM

Updated the main post! Don't forget the deadline is today

Posted by: burbe 25th February 2016, 04:56 PM

Posted by: Jade 25th February 2016, 10:59 PM

Sent in some answers! Got a top 7 streak to start here. x

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 25th February 2016, 11:06 PM

WHERE ARE ALL THE FREDDY KRUEGER QUESTIONS

Posted by: princess_lotti 25th February 2016, 11:06 PM

thank you for the answers I have received already/this evening! if anyone wants to do any tomorrow I will accept them up until I get home from school! (4pm)

Posted by: Jonjo 26th February 2016, 01:05 AM

Really excited for these results (although I can't join live as I'll be at work! )

Posted by: Regina 26th February 2016, 02:31 PM

I always do so badly at Pointless but this was a fun edition, hoping I get a few pointless answers.

Posted by: princess_lotti 26th February 2016, 05:02 PM

I'm hopefully going to start this about 7 to 7:30!

A warning in advance, one of these questions is a MESS One key word has definitely been missed by a few of you

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 26th February 2016, 05:05 PM

Yay hype *.* Excited for this (and hope/don't think I've messed up!)

The timing is also pretty perfect, we will be going into the Razzies pretty much straight after this!
