Loaded Pub Quiz - Halloween!

Loaded Pub Quiz - Halloween!

Alright, you bloodthirsty lot, welcome to tonight’s Horror Movie Pub Quiz. The only quiz where being a know-it-all could literally save your skin… or at least win you a pint. We’re diving headfirst into the dark, sticky guts of cinema’s nastiest nightmares: slashers, scream queens, dodgy dolls, and more buckets of fake blood than an Iron Maiden video.

Think you know your Kruegers from your Voorhees? Can you tell your creepy hotels apart without checking TripAdvisor first? Or are you just here to shout “Get out!” like you’re auditioning for the world’s angriest estate agent?

No matter; sharpen your stakes, load your silver bullets, and prepare to flex your horror trivia like Ash with a chainsaw arm. Because tonight, there’s no mercy, no sequels, and no refunds if you wet yourself during Round 2.

Welcome… to the pub quiz from hell.
