Horror Movie (Reverse) Sheep: Halloween Fright-Fest Game
Horror Movie (Reverse) Sheep: Halloween Fright-Fest 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.





And the questions are...


01. S: Name a horror movie set around Christmas time

02. S: Which actor played the best version of Dracula?

03. S: Who is you favourite non-Ghostbuster in "Ghostbusters"?

04. R: Name someone seen inside the Overlook Hotel in Kubrick's "The Shining" (their name must be used in the film to count)

05. S: Name an 80's era horror movie that's been re-made

06. S: Name a horror film that takes place in the woods

07. S: Name a horror movie with an evil kid(s)

08. R: Name a song from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" (if you don't know the official title you can quote a line or describe which one)

09. S: Which is the best instalment of the "Friday the 13th" series?

10. S: Name a movie about an inanimate object that comes to life

11. R: Name a horror movie from the 70's that was nominated for an Academy Award

12. S: Name a gigantic movie monster

13. S: Name a horror movie involving the devil

14. S: Who is your favourite member of the Addam's Family?

15. R: Name a horror movie series where part two had the same director as part one

16. S: What's the best Johnny Depp/Tim Burton movie?

17. S: Name the best horror movie of the last ten years

18. S: Name a horror movie with the word "dead" in the title

19. R: Name a character from the original "Halloween" (1978) who appeared in one or more of the sequels


This game will run on Monday, October 31st for Halloween, so I will need all answers in by next Sunday, the 30th

Either one, it's a sheep question so no wrong answers.
