The Night sHEep Came Home! - Slasher Sheep
Welcome to Slasher Film Sheep!
Intro for first time players
Spoiler:
General Rules
Spoiler:
Game-Specific Rules - Slam dunks, etc! -
Spoiler:
Other notes and rules that I made up.
- For Sheep questions, if your answer is not specific enough, I will PM you for clarification. If you do not respond, you will be given a score of zero for your answer.
- For Reverse Sheep questions, if your answer is not specific enough, I will PM you for clarification. If you do not respond, your answer will be counted as wrong.
So what defines a slasher film? Well there is no simple definition but I think most of us know the basics. If there are any borderline cases, I will either decide them myself or leave it up to the sheep. I am not referencing any particular sources online, but I will do necessary research to back up my decisions. As is the usual case with my games, if you try to get cute with an answer, it will probably end up wrong.
Unless otherwise indicated, films must have been theatrically released at some point. I’ll even take limited release, if you can prove it.
Let's begin, shall we...
Spoiler:
I will take answers until I have enough people to actually run the game.
Please remember that almost every notable slasher film has been remade. Specify which version you mean or risk getting a zero score or a wrong answer score!
Game is now close for entrants.

Re: The Night sHEep Came Home! - Slasher Sheep
I'll get in some answers within the next day (by Sunday). Not sure how this will work out with defining what is and isn't a slasher for some of the reverse sheep questions. Hopefully you'll be strict and won't let people get away with borderline answers. Some questions:
For those "name a movie in this franchise", it reads like movies in the original series and reboots/remakes would all be correct answers, right?
For #14, do all entries (or at least 3 of the entries) have to be theatrical releases. Or would just having the first one or two be theatrically released be good enough?

Reboots and remakes are considered part of a franchise.
For #14, at least 3 entries must be theatrically released.

Re: The Night sHEep Came Home! - Slasher Sheep
It is a holiday weekend. Even over a regular weekend, a lot of posters don't check the forum over the weekend. I'd recommend giving it at least until Tuesday to give people a chance to see the thread (bumping it up to keep it high on page one). Plus it's a very limited subject matter ... not to mention being a sub-genre of horror that many (especially more general movie fans) don't care for.
Oh ... and damn you for stealing the pun title I had in mind for my sequel to horror sheep Now I'm just left with "When There's No More Room in Hell, the Sheep Will Walk the Earth" (which may be a bit too wordy)

Re: The Night sHEep Came Home! - Slasher Sheep
Entry just sent! I intentionally didn't give a correct answer for some sheep questions ... so we'll see how that goes
Don't like those three "name a movie in the series" questions, which seem like they just come down to a guessing game of picking a number between 1 and 10. And 2, 8, and 12 should have a ton of uniques (especially 8, which probably would've been better if you excluded the 2 gigantic franchise series specifically mentioned in other questions). And when I started thinking about it, #20 has a huge number of possible answers too. That said, watch me match on them all (even if not many people play) Should be fun game for revealing answers nonetheless!

I fear piss-poor slam usage on this one. I just wasn't sure of ANY answers...
