Loaded Questions 10/31/22 - Film
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween! This Monday, I thought it would only be appropriate to have some Halloween movies today! This set of questions did not come from my spreadsheets of question writing trivia, but rather from trivia nights I’ve hosted in Columbia SC as part of Palmetto Trivia. So, definitely easier than the usual difficulty we have at LQ! But after today, the horror comes back: really difficult questions! Enjoy!
