Very easily scared!
Me too. But Shhhhh! Don’t tell anyone 😉
It will be our secret 🙂
What secret? 😉
Secret? Who said anything about a secret? Not me…
I am definitely one who likes ghost stories, horror and scary movies, normally ones with good plots. Your list is a great one, Alex! 🙂
I’m far too jumpy to properly appreciate them. Glad you liked the list.
Yay! I’ve actually watched all these movies.☺️ Ghost and The Others are my two favorites.🙋🏻
Full marks. I think Patrick Swayze’s ghost is the nicest one. Caspar seems pretty friendly mind.
I got all of these except Gothika which I haven’t seen. I LOVE horror movies.
Impressive score. Gothika got lousy reviews so you might not be missing much.
Ah, I’ll skip it then. Love my Japanese horror!
There must be plenty of other great Japanese horror that didn’t get the same worldwide acclaim.
Audition is my favourite. I’m a girl with a dark turn of mind 😉
Nothing wrong with that 🙂 Itchi the Killer was the most twisted for me.
It’s crazy alright.
5/6. Missed The Others, but I haven’t seen it so that makes sense.
But you got the others so that’s ok 😉
Arggh! I missed one. I thought The Ring was The Grudge!
Still a great score Keith 🙂
Tsk to all that long, black hair so confusing!
Exactly!
🙂
Got’em all! I love a good ghost story!
Super stuff. And if they ever get too scary we know who to call? 😉
Got them all right because I’m a spooky lady
Wouldn’t want you any other way 🙂
😀🍰
Except for The Amityville Horror, I got everything else correct; even though I haven’t seen, The Ring and Gothika.
I haven’t seen The Amityville Horror either!!
I thought that might stump a few people. Still a great score though.
Got em all except Amityville.
That was the hardest one. Great score Vinnie.
Keep these great quizzes up, they are most enjoyable.
Why thank you kindly 🙂
The only one I didn’t know was Beetlejuice!
You still got the same score as me sister.
Woo hoo! Rock on brother 🙂
The only one I didn’t get was Amityville.
If the decade hadn’t been there I may not have got that one, it was more a guess to be honest…but an educated guess!
Can;t get em all right, that’s the way I see it.
I’d like to though! Haha. I don’t think I’ve ever had full points on Alex’s quiz 🙂
I think I got it once on the James Bond quiz.
You super star! Very impressive.
Well I love the Bond movies so much.
You certainly do 🙂
Bond fan until I die.
Shaken….not stirred 🙂
You got it sister.
He got 18/18 on Bond. Triple max score 🙂
He knows his Bond 🙂
I’m very easily spooked so I avoid most horror movies. The Ghost movie w/ Patrick Swayze is a tear jerker though, and I remember being really moved by that film.
A very different kind of ghost film for sure. Funny to think the same guys did the Airplane films.
Thank you for an illuminating piece! There is much to be scared off only if you’re not following the lead of your consciousness, but there would be much to fear otherwise. I’ve been writing about how being embodied in the world entails engaging in ongoing relationships with the spirit world and those who live there. I think that Ghostbusters makes light of something much more serious, and does not put forward a realistic view of the other side. Dependence on mass mediated information has kept much knowledge from the spirits hidden from sight.
Saw the stage version of Ghost but not the original movie. I don’t really choose Ghost films but perhaps I should.
I think you’d like the film too. It has real heart and charm.
I’m quite impressed I got 5/6 because horror is so not my genre.
You tend to do well on most quizzes Abbi. If you weren’t already so good at them at them you could bribe me with your mint choc chip cookies 😉
Yay! I got 4 out of 6! Not bad, I usually have only 1 or 2 hahaha 🙂
And one day I know you’ll get 6 😊 Everyone has a specialist topic.
Boom! Stumped me again. I threw a guess with Gothika but wasn’t sure if 1. was the Exorcist so just decided I’d guess that. Amityville Horror. 4/6 and that’s the game!
Still a strong score 🙂
