Movie Quiz 69

[caffeinated]

Happy Friday, guys!

You had to know I was going to go with a Horror theme this week, right?..

I got a little lazy, though, and I used a bunch of leftover images from previous quizzes. Which is to say that I've used all these movies before, but with different screenshots.

So, as usual, there are eight screenshots below. Most of them should be fairly recognizable if you've seen the films. So, which of these movies can you identify?

Please answer with movie numbers only, not titles..

And a belated Happy Halloween to you all!

Surprise, surprise, I'll post the answers Sunday morning-ish....

1,2,7,8 are all I think I know. Thanks Caff!
Glad to know you have electricity! You were in the Sandy storm path weren't you?

Yeah, we were located much nearer the fringe than the center, though. Thankfully.

We did lose power for about a day and a half. Just long enough to ensure that all of the refrigerator's contents--and much of the freezer's--were a loss.

Definitely could have been worse, though.

I'm not into horror films, but I do know 2 and 4!

Bump...

Anybody else care to post some guesses?

And here I thought #6 was a gimme ...

Huh. Slow week. Hints if you need 'em:

1. A strain of Mad Cow Disease has turned just about everyone into a zombie except for Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita, Little Rock and Bill Murray. Unfortunately, Bill Murray's bad comedic timing proves to be his undoing and Little Rock and Wichita's trust issues and affinity for theme parks leave them exposed.
2. A feel good story about a little kid with a special mental gift, a doting mother and a weird hallucinating father who does a Johnny Carson impression all going a little stir crazy in an empty resort in the off-season.
3. Something weird is happening in their home and the man has cameras set up all over to record it. The cameras pick up doors slamming by themselves, weird footprints appearing in flour sprinkled on the ground, a Ouija board that moves by an unseen hand and spontaneously erupts in flame and bedsheets that rustle mysteriously. All of which are signs of .....? Anyone? Anyone?
4. The remains of a botched army experiment that created #7 are accidentally released in a medical supply warehouse to bring the return of zombies in this 80's cult comedy-horror.
5. Two strangers wake up to find themselves trapped in a room with a corpse and must consider amputation as a means of escape.
6. A pretty young girl cusses like a sailor, spiderwalks down the stairs, urinates on the floor in front of important guests and can twist her spine 360 degrees.
7. 60's low-budget classic that established all of the elements of the modern zombie movie.
8. British zombie movie played for laughs. Simon Pegg is a loser electronics salesman who has to deal with a mysterious infestation of "crackheads" in town with his slob pal, Nick Frost.

Sorry I kind of abandoned the thread, guys, but a day-trip to visit with some friends in Connecticut yesterday ended up turning into an unexpected overnight stay.

Thanks very much for the hints post, bob.

So, without any further ado, here are this week's answers:

1. Zombieland
2. The Shining
3. Paranormal Activity
4. Return of the Living Dead
5. Saw
6. The Exorcist
7. Night of the Living Dead
8. Shaun of the Dead

Thanks for playing!

Thanks, caff.

 

[technovapir]

Thanks Caff! & Bobs!
Yep, I should have known 6. I really don't remember that scene. I may have had my eyes closed....

 

[bobsyeruncle]

I believe it was originally a deleted scene.

@1:59

 

[anavidfan]

[bobsyeruncle]

That was your leet (1337) post.

 

[caffeinated]

I believe it was originally a deleted scene.

Hmm... I couldn't swear to it, but I'm pretty sure I remember that scene being in the original cut.

 

[bobsyeruncle]

It could be, it only lasts for a few seconds. Easy to forget the first time you watch it.
