In honor of October being my favorite month of the year (and Halloween being one of my favorite times of the year), I present a small quiz for some of you more die-hard Horror genre fans, like myself.
The quiz is not terribly difficult if you watch a lot of Horror, and some of them are quite easy even if you haven't seen many scary movies at all.
Can you name which 15 movies these 15 locations appear in? Some locations may be categorized as a group for a franchise, some are multiple groups for remakes.
1. London, England and Paris, France 2. Woodsboro, California 3. Ship Orbiting Neptune 4. Monroeville Mall and Unnamed Mall in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (remake) 5. Camp Crystal Lake 6. Black Hills near Burkittsville, Maryland 7. Cuesta Verde, California 8. The Overlook Hotel 9. Freiburg im Breisgau 10. Haddonfield, Illinois 11. Blackeburg, Stockholm and Los Alamos, New Mexico (remake) 12. Springwood, Ohio 13. Shelter Mountain Inn (remake) 14. Anchorage, Alaska and United States National Science Institute Station 4 (remake) 15. Hardesty Family Homestead
1. London, England and Paris, France - I think so? 2. Woodsboro, California - Of course. 3. Ship Orbiting Neptune - Not sure. 4. Monroeville Mall and Unnamed Mall in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (remake) - I'm not close to positive, but I have a good educated guess 5. Camp Crystal Lake - Who can't? 6. Black Hills near Burkittsville, Maryland - Yes 7. Cuesta Verde, California - I'm 95% sure I know this one. 8. The Overlook Hotel - Yes 9. Freiburg im Breisgau - I think I will probably be the only other person here who knows this one. 10. Haddonfield, Illinois - <3 best of the "big three" 11. Blackeburg, Stockholm and Los Alamos, New Mexico (remake) - Sweden makes me lean in one very distinct way, but New Mexico throws me a bit. If my gut on the former is true, then I haven't actually seen the remake, only the original 12. Springwood, Ohio - I assume this is the third of the big three, but I can't for the life of me remember for certain. 13. Shelter Mountain Inn (remake) - If this is a remake of an Asian movie, then I think I have it. 14. Anchorage, Alaska and United States National Science Institute Station 4 (remake) - This would have been tougher last October, but I feel like most people can guess this now >_> 15. Hardesty Family Homestead - My favorite horror movie of all time. OF ALL TIME.
You know, I actually live like 3 miles from #15... Too bad they moved the actual house from the location, I would have loved to go see it. They also filmed a lot of the other scenes down south a bit, but that area just had a pretty bad fire and I'm not even sure if the locations still exist.
I sent in my list. I have no clue on 6, 9, 13 and 14.
But I'm confident on all the other ones. 1, 3, and 8 I answered pretty much right away. 10 would have stumped me if I didn't just see the movie like a couple of months ago.
I know #9 for a very random reason: The director was a special trivia category for a weekly contest I do at a pizza restaurant and I read up on his stuff.

Decided to make another 15 if anyone wants to give it a go. Again, some are harder than others... some are kind of tricky.

I wasn't sure on 9, but it was literally the only major horror movie I know set in Germany so I took a swing at it.
Also, PM sent.
