Frightspace 2012

On Friday, the 2012 Frightspace Halloween party took the competition to new levels. This year, it wasn’t enough just to turn up in extreme fancy dress, or produce an amazing pumpkin (see our placement Dan’s work of art above).

Frightspacers had to rise from the dead to face our very own Rockin’ Rick Buzzin’s horror film quiz from hell, with 80 points up for grabs.

But there will be no Frightspace honours graduates this year, with the winning team ‘The Horrors’ scraping a pass of 40 points by their fingernails.

'The team who cannot be named' and 'We Don't mind Bridget . . . she's OK!' dragged behind at 30 points. And finally the 'The Screamers' were hanging around at the bottom of the graveyard with a zombie-like 27 points.

So we're unlikely to terrify the living daylights out of anyone at the next pub quiz. But before you think you can stop looking behind you, have a go at some of these. (Answers below.)
