RESULTS OF BATTLE ROYALE IV - CHALLENGE #3

It gives me great pleasure to welcome back both teams - The Zombie Titans and The Blazing Hellspawns to your THIRD Battle Royale IV Results Meeting.



First of all, the CORRECT answers :-

1) From where has the opening music of Dracula (1931) been taken?

- Act 2, Swan Lake by Tchaikowsky

2) What is the source of the picture depicted on the back of the butterfly on the movie poster of The Silence of the Lambs?

- In Voluptas Mors, by Salvador Dali

3) Most of Night of the Living Dead (1968) was shot inside a house. Where is this house located?

- Zelienople, Pennsylvania

4) What is the name of the TV Channel which announces/elaborates Charles Lee Ray's death in Child's Play/Child's Play 2?

- W-DOL

5) Name the famous filmmaker who watched Creature from the Black Lagoon every year on his birthday.

- Ingmar Bergman

6) In Alien, what is the identification number of the Nostromo?

- 180924609

7) Who did Jane Randolph replace in Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein?

- Ella Raines

8) Post the number of retakes done in The Shining for the scene where Halloran explains to Danny Torrance about the "shining".

- 148 retakes

9) Which is the only horror film Heather Langenkamp had seen, prior to her shooting for A Nightmare on Elm Street?

- Burnt Offerings

10) How long did it take Victor Miller to write the "Friday the 13th" script?

- About two weeks


Question #3 was confusing for a lot of contestants. While I accepted some answers like "demolished farmhouse near Monongahela River, PA" (technically correct), "house was actually separate locations, in and around Zelionople, PA", the one which was outrightly rejected was "Monongahela River, PA".

Come on guys - it's a house, how can it be located ON a river? You all should have mentioned "(farm)house near the Monongahela River", or even "on the banks of the Monongahela River" for me to award full points.



COMMON LINK - This was easy, and I am surprised that an entire TEAM could not find this from the internet. A google search for "horror movie items" would have shown it to you, and to make matters easier, there are TWO links listing all the movies mentioned above, and IN THAT ORDER of questions as well. Here they are :-

There were some other mistakes made as well, which I will elaborate when I tally up your FINAL scores, and they are...

If that is the case, sending us to search in the forums for 2011 posts mentioning it was something of a red herring. :mad:

The Zombie Titans:

Roshiq - 18 points (Q #3 mistake)
Ferretchucker - 16 points (Q #3 & #6 mistakes - 180942609?)

------------------------

TOTAL - 160 points

In addition, NONE of the Zombie Titans have won the VERY SPECIAL BONUS PRIZE.




The Blazing Hellspawns:

Weapon X - 20 points
The Ugly Duchess - 20 points

Which means, ONE FINAL ENTRY from the The Blazing Hellspawns team within minutes of the deadline has made them WIN CHALLENGE #3!!!

(It was 160 points versus 158 points, till 25 minutes to the deadline, you all should be thanking your savior this time, Hellspawns)

THE ZOMBIE TITANS LOSE BATTLE ROYALE CHALLENGE #3 by EIGHTEEN POINTS, and so face the PENALTY!!!


Sorry Zombie Titans, but your next destination is...THE HUNTING ZONE!!


Which reminds me of something...

I never posted the PENALTY for losing Challenge #3, did I?

Let's see what it is...

NEXT!

Should have read carefully. I never said it was a "HDC post" or "a post in the/our forum".

I was asking for a Webpage, remember.

In addition, a SPECIAL BONUS PRIZE will be given to those participants who can FIND THE WEBPAGE in which select collectibles from ALL the horror movies listed above have been listed. (Hint - it is a post dated from last year, i.e., 2011)

THE THIRD HUNTING ZONE OUTING

*snaps fingers at the BR guards, and motions to them to lead the Zombie Titans into the Hunting Zone UNARMED*

Sorry guys. All of you are now released free into the Hunting Zone, where YOU WILL BE HUNTED DOWN BY THE BLAZING HELLSPAWNS!



Hellspawns, here is your weapon for the hunting :-

It's a .357 MAGNUM, one of the most powerful handguns in the world! And it is LOADED with ONE bullet each!



Send me your PMs regarding which member in the Zombie Titans team you choose as the target for your .357 Magnum. You have less than 24 hours (till Noon EST tomorrow) to make your choices.

Also, let me remind you Hellspawns, that if even ONE of you FAILS to fire their Magnum, all of you stand to be SHOT ONCE by the BR Snipers in the Watchtowers!

The sneaky Shatner-masked Zombie Titan MICHAEL MYERS is also released from his confinement inside the dungeon, to join his team mates inside the Zone. He is UNARMED.

I leave you to confer within your team, or take individual decisions on your own, whichever seems fit...

but your time in the Hunting Zone starts...NOW!!

The men walk straight to the bunkers, stand aside each one and check the names on them, and leave the wooden packs, one beside each bunker.

On all of them is a tag, inscribed "Do NOT open until Challenge #3 is over."

They then turn around, and walk out.

Remember this?

We shall open the packs...NOW!
