\"Dracula\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of my favorite movie blogs \u201cSergio Leone and the Infield Fly Rule<\/a>\u201d recently posted their annual horror quiz in celebration of Halloween, and I was more than happy to take part in it. Their quizzes are usually a lot of fun and ask some interesting questions for their users that allow for an interesting article, so I thought I\u2019d take part in yet another fun Movie Quiz that could inspire some thoughts on my favorite in horror entertainment and fiction. SLIFR is never bereft of interesting questions that cause its players to think hard and long, so I tackled this with immense enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

Feel free to copy this quiz for yourself and link back to \u201cSergio Leone and the Infield Fly Rule<\/a>,\u201d or feel free to let us know what you think about my answers below!<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1) Edwige Fenech or Barbara Bouchet?<\/strong>
\nEdwige Fenech, though both women are gorgeous. Fenech is a raven haired goddess I never tire of ogling. She was even breathtaking in \u201cHostel 2.\u201d<\/p>\n

2) The horror movie you will stand up for when no one else will<\/strong>
\n\u201cDiary of the Dead,\u201d mainly because it\u2019s such a fascinating and creepy statement about the information age and how we\u2019ve pissed it away. It\u2019s cynical, dark, and terrifying. The final scene just sends shivers down my spine, and the dark comedy is entertaining.<\/p>\n

3) Your favorite horror novel<\/strong>
\nI quite enjoy \u201cFrankenstein\u201d which I read in high school. I oddly don\u2019t have a particular favorite horror novel, but \u201cFrankenstein\u201d stands out the most.<\/p>\n

4) Lionel Atwill or George Zucco?<\/strong>
\nLionel Atwill<\/p>\n

5) Name a horror film which you feel either goes “too far” or, conversely, might have been better had been bolder<\/strong>
\nCry_Wolf would have stood to be better if it featured a little more violence or adult content. It still would have been hideously silly, but at least a respectable diversion.<\/p>\n

6) Let the Right One In or Let Me In?<\/strong>
\n\u201cLet the Right One In\u201d is pretty damn fantastic. \u201cLet Me In\u201d is kind of like a stale reproduction, despite the strong performances from McPhee and Moretz.<\/p>\n

7) Favorite horror film released by American International Pictures<\/strong>
\nWho Can Kill a Child? It\u2019s a disturbing and creepy horror movie about a couple stuck on an island where the population\u2019s children have suddenly turned murderous and psychotic. It\u2019s a tense masterpiece.<\/p>\n

8) Veronica Carlson or Barbara Shelley<\/strong>
\nBarbara Shelley, easily. Though both women are gorgeous.<\/p>\n

9) Name the pinnacle of slasher movie kills, based on either gore quotient, level of cleverness or shock value<\/strong>
\nWhen Jason Voorhees slammed that girl against the tree in \u201cThe New Blood.\u201d It never ceases to make me laugh at its sheer creativeness. Jason is a master of improvising and hiding in a sleeping bag just didn\u2019t work for the poor girl.<\/p>\n

10) Dracula (1931; Tod Browning) or Dracula (1931; George Melford)?<\/strong>
\nGotta go with Browning\u2019s since it\u2019s so beautiful and eerie. Plus Bela Lugosi\u2019s Dracula is a staple of the horror genre.<\/p>\n

11) Name a movie which may not strictly be thought of as a horror film which you think qualifies for inclusion in the category<\/strong>
\nThey Live. It\u2019s a somewhat creepy and nihilistic look at the age of consumerism that still fits modern society well. We\u2019re all programmed in some way to think the key to happiness is consuming, spending, and having sex.<\/p>\n

12) The last horror movie you saw in a theater? On home video?<\/strong>
\nIn theaters, I guess Cloverfield would count. On Home Video, All Hallows\u2019 Eve 2.<\/p>\n

13) Can you think of a horror movie that works better as a home video experience than as a theatrical one?<\/strong>
\n\u201cNight of the Creeps\u201d is definitely a movie that\u2019s better in a small gathering, playing on the VCR, accompanied by chips and beer.<\/p>\n

14) Brad Dourif or Robert Englund?<\/strong>
\nRobert Englund. Brad Dourif is a great actor and wonderful voice actor, but I\u2019m so much more familiar with the work of Englund. Plus, I grew up with Freddy Krueger.<\/p>\n

15) At what moment did you realize you were a horror fan? Or what caused you to realize that you weren’t?<\/strong>
\nThe day my brother and I kidnapped my mom\u2019s VCR and broke in to her off limits collection of VHS collection of horror movies. We saw \u201cFriday the 13th,\u201d \u201cTexas Chainsaw Massacre,\u201d and \u201cSleepaway Camp\u201d in one day. That\u2019s when I knew this was what I loved more than anything.<\/p>\n

16) The Thing with Two Heads or The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant?<\/strong>
\nThe Thing with Two Heads. What a wonky pairing.<\/p>\n

17) Favorite giallo or giallo moment<\/strong>
\nHas to be the drowning in the scolding water from Profundo Russo.<\/p>\n

18) Name a horror remake, either a character or an entire film, that you prefer over its original or more iconic incarnation. (Example: Frank Langella’s Dracula\/Dracula > Christopher Lee’s Dracula\/Dracula)<\/strong>
\nLast House on the Left 2009>Last House on the Left 1972<\/p>\n

19) Your favorite director of horror films<\/strong>
\nJohn Carpenter, easily. Even his non-horror movies are somewhat eerie and creepy in their own right.<\/p>\n

20) Caroline Munro or Stephanie Beacham?<\/strong>
\nCaroline Munro<\/p>\n

21) Best horror moment created specifically for TV<\/strong>
\nThe scene in \u201cHaunted\u201d where the mom sees the shadows outside her doorway.<\/p>\n

22) The Stephen King adaptation that works better as a movie than a book<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve read very few King books, but my favorite King adaptation is \u201cThe Stand.\u201d Before the preachy finale, it\u2019s a very compelling apocalyptic tale of the subjective good versus the subjective evil.<\/p>\n

23) Name the horror movie you most want to see but to this point never have<\/strong>
\nThe Beyond. I\u2019ve heard it\u2019s quite great, but have never been able to sit down and watch it.<\/p>\n

24) Andre Morell or Laurence Naismith?<\/strong>
\nAndre Morell<\/p>\n

25) Second-favorite horror film made in the 1980s<\/strong>
\nAlone in the Dark. Wonderful thriller and slasher film about mental patients stalking a young psychiatrist they\u2019re convinced killed their favorite doctor. The ending is just downright insane.<\/p>\n

26) Tell us about your favorite TV horror host and the program showcasing horror classics over which he\/she presided\/presides<\/strong>
\nEasily it\u2019s Joe Bob Briggs who hosted TNT\u2019s Monstervision in the nineties. He introduced me to so many horror gems, as well as priceless bits of trivia I was not aware of at the time. I wish everyone had his sense of humor and boldness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
