Welcome to Horror Movie Sheep 2017!

The basic rules:

Intro for first time players


General Rules


Game-Specific Rules
Unique Bonus: Reverse Sheep questions will generate additional bonus (negative) points according to the following:
1 Unique is awarded -20
2 Uniques are awarded -15 each
3 Uniques are awarded -10 each
4+ Uniques are awarded -5 each

Slam Dunks {sd}: Players have the power of multipliers in their hands. Each player is given five (5) Slam Dunks ({sd}) which they use by adding {sd} to the end of their answer. Your Slam Dunks have different effects depending on the question you use it on:
In Sheep questions, the {sd} adds 1 to the Multiplier.
In Reverse Sheep questions you can use your {sd} to turn the question into a sheep question for you. However, if your answer is wrong, it does nothing. Slam dunks cannot be stacked. Use one per question only or else they will be discarded. You cannot use two slam dunks to turn a Reverse into a Sheep and then slam dunk those sheep answers.

For this game, “movie” refers to theatrically released films, not direct to video productions or TV movies, and “actor” is gender neutral.

Please send in your answers to me via PM. Place only one answer per line, without numbers or the question itself. Do not forget your {sd}, and please place it after your answer (not before).

Abob Teff

I'll submit my first ten answers soon ... I'll hang on to the second ten just in case.

Seriously, thank you GhostLee! I'll submit answers tomorrow.

Crocker Jarmen

Those are all great questions, but you should have tightened the perimeters on Question 20, which is basically "name an actor in a Star Wars movie", as it's hard to think of anyone who hasn't appeared in a horror film at some point in their career.

GhostLee

Good point. I'll try to fix that now; since there's only one player so far, and it won't affect their answer, the change shouldn't hurt.

brainee

While I know more about horror than any other genre, I'm not sure that will help me with these sheep questions.

The reverses could be troublesome based on how you define "horror". Do you have a plan for that (like needing horror as a listed genre at some reference site) or will you just handle it as it comes?

majorjoe23

Horrible answers submitted.

wishbone

Ghastly answers submitted, thanks!

wd40cloud

Answers submitted! Thanks.

brainee

Hopefully questions will be open at least through the weekend. I'll submit eventually. I'm considering doing an "Ash Ketchum" for some of these and give answers to sheep questions that I know won't score well, just to give a shout out (and maybe spur discussion) about some lesser-known favorites of mine. And even if I don't do that, if my answers suck I can lie and say I did that to save face

Mr. Flix

Man, I thought I was a horror movie fan, but these questions are making me doubt my cred.

devilshalo

What's "major"? The person has, at the very least, a line? Or is the main focal point?

GhostLee

My plan is to consult IMDb and Wikipedia if there's any debate over whether a movie is horror.

GhostLee

I wouldn't say THE main focal point, but they should have more than a cameo - if that makes things any clearer.

sleepyhead55

Will send in answers a little later. Don't worry guys, I don't really watch Horror. So my answers should be subpar.

Crocker Jarmen

I feel like 19 is begging to be {sd} but do enough people know who Val Lewton is?

brainee

He played Grampa on The Munsters, right?

And of course a giallo is a type of Italian dessert!

As I said earlier, I fear this will be a game where knowledge isn't particularly helpful. Which is not at all a criticism of the questions

Abob Teff

Giallo?

Abob Teff

I am throwing down the gauntlet ... I'm challenging anybody to knock me out of last place.

Flesh eating answers submitted (from inside the house).

DaveNinja

my terrible answers submitted. its a race to last place!

Abob Teff

I just caught the full title ... Thumbs up for the title! However thumbs down for going deep into the bowels of the horror world and not utilizing any questions where the movie referenced could be used.

Crocker Jarmen

"It's fun to be a sheep master."

GhostLee

I'll be taking answers at least through the weekend. I've seen some good ones so far - and by good I mean sure to start debate.

There are the nine players right now:

Ghoulish answers submitted.

Word of warning ... I'm going on a psycho killing spree if anyone matches me for #1, #13, or #20 (where I could think of dozens of correct answers for each).

sleepyhead55

Bad answers sent in. I had no idea which q's to use for SD's so I more of less picked a few.

brainee

Good plan! What's the worst that can happen?
