Horror & Thriller Trivia
A trivia pack devoted to the films that scare, unsettle and grip. The 70s shockers, the 80s slashers, the 90s psychological era, the J-horror wave, the found-footage boom, the recent A24 / Blumhouse renaissance — they're all in scope, plus the directors and franchises that defined each era.

The 70s touchstones (The Exorcist, Halloween, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Jaws, Carrie), the 80s slasher and supernatural waves (Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Thing, The Shining, Hellraiser, An American Werewolf in London), the 90s psychological era (The Silence of the Lambs, Scream, Se7en, The Sixth Sense, The Blair Witch Project).
The 2000s remake / torture era (Saw, Hostel, the J-horror US remakes), the modern A24 / Blumhouse arthouse-horror renaissance (Hereditary, The Witch, Get Out, Midsommar, X, Pearl, Talk to Me), and the long-running franchises that span every era — Halloween, Scream, Final Destination, the Conjuring universe.
Directors and franchises
John Carpenter, Wes Craven, Dario Argento, George Romero, Stanley Kubrick (for The Shining), David Cronenberg, David Fincher, Ari Aster, Robert Eggers, Jordan Peele, Jennifer Kent, Mike Flanagan — the directors who own multiple landmark films get their own line of questioning.
Famous monsters (Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, Ghostface, Pennywise, the Babadook, Pearl) and the iconic final-girl performances are fair game.
