Horror movies have created some of the most epic and recognizable villains in entertainment history. Features like Freddy’s sweater and fedora, Jigsaw’s puppet, Leatherface’s apron and mask, Hannibal’s straightjacket and mask, Ghostface’s mask, and Jason’s hockey mask are all instantly identifiable and make the Halloween costume industry a lot of money.
Only true horror movie experts know that Jamie Lee Curtis, Halloween heroine, is the daughter of Psycho victim Janet Leigh. Or that Johnny Depp first appeared in A Nightmare on Elm Street. True fans know that Stephen King hated Kubrick’s adaptation of The Shining or that nine people died during production of The Exorcist. If you knew these facts and know even more, you’ll love these horror movie questions and answers.
