Hi Team.
I’m running the school trivia night next week and I’m running out of steam thinking up questions.
The theme is “Horror” so there’s been a movie round, an art round, music we also borrowed an idea from the ABC and have a “stupid deaths” round in which you have to match people with their method of demise. Did you know that the Greek writer Aeschylus died when an eagle dropped a tortoise on his head?
Anyway I’d appreciate some help with general knowledge questions on the horrow them. So far we have
In which modern country is Transylvania: Romania
Which country are zombies most associated. Haiti
Only another 8 needed :)

Maybe a few questions about horrors of nature?
Things like that fungus that attacks ants and makes them climb up to the top of a tree and then grows a spore stem out of their heads. Or parasitic wasps that prey on spiders so their young eat them alive. Worms that infest human eyes. That sort of thing. Don’t know how to frame the question around it, but maybe look up a few of those horrid things. During the answers to the round you could explain the gory details.

Subject: re: Trivia questions
Vlad the Impaler (Rumanian Vlad Tepes, pronounced tsepesh) was also known as Vlad Dracul. There are several differences between the real life Vlad and Stoker’s Dracula, among them the fact that Vlad was a prince, but Dracula was a count, and that Dracula drank the blood of his victims, but Vlad was never accused (in his lifetime, or for several centuries after his death.) Another historical figure in Transylvania’s past, the Countess Elizabeth Bathory de Ecsed (aka The Blood Countess,) whose husband was a count and who fought the Turks in the Transylvanian army, is credited with some of the excesses attributed to Dracula, though with differences.
There are many legends about Elizabeth, but the best known is probably of the time a maidservant, who was brushing her (Liz’s) hair, said something that displeased her, so she snatched the brush out of her hand and hit her with it, breaking the skin and causing a few drops of the girl’s blood to land on Liz’s skin. She seemed to see the skin grow younger, so she ordered the girl killed and her blood drained into a bath, in which she bathed. From that time, she would drain the blood of her maidservants into her bath, bathe in it, and stay young. She was also believed, again according to this legend, to have drunk the girls’ blood. Compare this with Dracula drinking his victims’ blood and growing younger.
In reality, while Liz did murder her maidservants, her favourite method of killing them was to strip them naked, push them into the snow, and throw buckets of cold water over them. The Guinness Book of Records names her as the most prolific murderess in history, but there’s no way to confirm the number of her victims: her political enemies claimed the number to be in excess of 650; the lowest estimate is probably around 300. Her castle (Čachtice Castle) is also closer to the site Stoker chose for Castle Dracula.

I know.
Tom Petty is with them.
I don’t see how.
IIRC you hadn’t heard of Mr Petty until the other day….?
I may recall this incorrectly as I am still stunned by the British Museum and Georg Telemann incidents.

BTW here is how Shelley described the monster:
“It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavoured to form? His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips.”

Ring was the original Japanese film; The Ring was the American remake. Ring was the one that gave me the heebie jeebies, whereas the remake seemed tame (possibly because there were no surprises.)
Which scene in Looper did you find creepy?
The Grudge was another Japanese horror film that had some creepy scenes: a dead boy in a bath whose hair swirled around his victim.
Parasyte was a good two-part Japanese film involving an alien parasite that gets into people’s brains and turns them into psychopathic mutants.
Rec was a good Spanish horror film, too, though its sequels were crap.

I much preferred The Ring to Ring.
The scene in Looper that creeped me out was what happened to Old Seth.

Probably not. The victims in the film actually had brains to start with.

Of course, Santa is still alive at the North Pole, which is where Frankenstein’s monster died.

Hi Team.
I’m running the school trivia night next week and I’m running out of steam thinking up questions.
The theme is “Horror” so there’s been a movie round, an art round, music we also borrowed an idea from the ABC and have a “stupid deaths” round in which you have to match people with their method of demise. Did you know that the Greek writer Aeschylus died when an eagle dropped a tortoise on his head?
Anyway I’d appreciate some help with general knowledge questions on the horrow them. So far we have
In which modern country is Transylvania: Romania
Which country are zombies most associated. Haiti
Only another 8 needed :)
Where Did Seymour Get Audrey 2?

Everyone knows that.
Don’t know anything about horror. Except in music eg. “horror movie, it’s the nine o’clock news” from Sherbert, and lines from Michael Jackson “thriller”. And various far side cartoons.
Where did head hunters live?
Where did cannibals live? – everywhere.
