Super Spooky Horror Movie SHEEP Game

Even though it is early in October, the great turn-out for the last Sheep game has inspired me to do a Super Spooky Horror Movie Sheep Game.



The basic rules:

Intro for first time players
Spoiler:
(Reverse) Sheep is a game that is part Family Feud, part trivia game. The object of the game is to outwit other players through a series of questions that are usually united in theme. There are two types of questions.

The first, Sheep, is one where you try to think like everyone else and match their answers. The more people you match, the better you do. Let's say we have a game of six players (A through F). A Sheep question might be something like "Name a great color." Sheep questions never have right or wrong answers. Let's say our five players answered like this:

Players A, C, and E said "Blue"
Players B and D said "Green"
Player F said "Chartreuse"

Scoring in Sheep games is like golf: the lower your score, the better. The "Blue" players get -3 points (and the best answer). The "Green" players get -2 points. Player F did not match anyone and gets 0 points.

The second type of question, Reverse Sheep, is the exact opposite. You want to avoid matching other players. A Reverse Sheep question might be something like "Name a state on the Atlantic Coast." Reverse Sheep questions always have right or wrong answers. Let's say our players answered like this:

Players D and E said "Delaware"
Players F and B said "Maine"
Player C said "Texas"
Player A said "South Carolina"

The "Delaware" players get +2 points (a penalty, since you want to have a low score). The "Maine" players also get +2 points. Player C's answer might be debated among the players to see if it is considered correct or not. Wrong answers always score above the most common answer. You're always better off going for something obvious than for something obviously wrong.

That's the gist of it. Each person running a game adds little rules here and there but those are the basics.


General Rules
Spoiler:
The object of the game is to out-think everyone by picking answers to questions that are the most common (Sheep) or least common (Reverse Sheep), but still correct.
Example Sheep question: "Name a professional golfer." A good answer might be Tiger Woods and a bad answer might be Chichi Rodriguez.
Example Reverse Sheep question: "Name a play by Shakespeare." Romeo & Juliet might be a bad answer, but Two Gentlemen of Verona might be a good answer. (Unless everyone is trying to go as obscure as possible).
Scores are tallied according to the number of players answering that question. Sheep answers are tallied as negative. Reverse Sheep answers are tallied as positive. The lowest score wins.
There is no such thing as wrong answer for a Sheep question.
Wrong answers in Reverse Sheep are scored two points above the most common answer.
You may not cheat by using Google, Wikipedia, etc. Use only what's in your head.
Please send in your answers to me via PM. Place only one answer per line, without numbers, set info, or the question itself. Add {sd} to the end of the answer, not the beginning. Those who do not do this will be penalized 10 points right off the bat.
Note: Be creative with your answers, but don't be stupid.
Sheep questions are marked by an S:, Reverse Sheep questions are marked by an R:.


Game-Specific Rules

To be considered correct, answers must be theatrically released feature films, no TV shows, shorts or webisodes.

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.





Now, whether it's the best, the scariest, your personal favourite... just pick what you think will be the Sheepiest:


01. S: A Black & White Horror movie

02. S: A "Found Footage" horror movie

03. S: Name a monster/villain who appears in a Disney cartoon

04. R: Name a monster/villain who appears in at least 8 movies. (Their specific name, you can't just say "zombie")

05. S: Pick a foreign language (non-english) horror film

06. S: Pick a horror film parodied on a Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors

07. S: Pick a 3-D horror film

08. R: Name a movie with a screenplay by Stephen King (no tele-plays)

09. S: Best horror movie music score

10. S: Pick a killer animal movie

11. S: Name the bloodiest horror movie you can think of

12. S: Pick a movie featuring cannibalism

13. R: Who wins in a fight between Freddy, Jason, Pinhead, Michael Myers and Wendy from The Shining?

Re: Super Spooky Horror Movie SHEEP Game

How long do we have to work on answers. I'd like the weekend if possible to cogitate on this.

And I assume #11 is for the Bloodiest horror movie you can think of?

#13 is a bit of an odd Reverse.

I agree. I suppose it's like your Name a Beatle reverse sheep question, david. No knowledge required, just try to out-think the competition.

I appreciate the reference.

The question is highly subjective, though, which makes it odd for a Reverse. But yeah, it will in practicality be the same in that you pick a name and see what happens. It could've been "Name one of these five characters" and done the same thing. Not criticizing the Sheepmaster--just discussing.

Everyone has plenty of time to submit answers.

Yes, "bloodiest".

You're right of course. What are you asking, who do you think would win or who would you answer because you don't think others would answer that way...
Actually it would have been a lot more fun as a SHEEP question now that you mention it.

Crocker : Any chance of you changing this question to a SHEEP question and accepting revised answers?
edit : Eh, forget it. I'm more curious to see how it comes out here.

The Beatles game is actually what inspired that question

Crocker, you should have asked for the Sexiest participant in the fight!

Also I sent you a PM about Question 8.

Re: Super Spooky Horror Movie SHEEP Game

If a movie has been remade, Do we have to specify the year or will we just get credit for matching the title?

You'd only need to specify original or re-make for a Reverse Sheep question where being ultra specific could save you from making a match and losing a unique.

Re: Super Spooky Horror Movie SHEEP Game

Horrible answers submitted. Knowing a lot about horror doesn't seem to be very helpful for these questions.

I had a whole bunch of questions ready for a horror sheep game of my own. Though it turns out that October is an awful time of the year for me to have to make the extra time to run a sheep game. So its just as well you ran this. Though, needless to say, my questions are 100x better!

I remember a couple of these questions from my own horror sheep game. I wonder if the answers will turn out the same?
