Introducing The HDC Trivia Contest of Horrific Proportions

[Despare]

I have enlisted the help of our #1 contributor _V_ to help me bring the folks of HDC the largest and longest trivia contest we've ever had. There will be approximately an hour of trivia two nights a week for five weeks, and we're not just talking horror trivia here folks. Each night of trivia will be section specific, IE: the music sections will have a night of trivia with questions pertaining to music and movie soundtracks. There will also be two special nights where you will not only be able to add points to your total but win special prizes just for winning that night's contest. There are no rules to who can play and the first answer in wins so yeah, you can search google for the answer, but you'll probably get beaten to the punch by somebody who already knows it. Anyway, dates and times will follow in this thread, we'll give you plenty of time to get ready, until then, here are the prizes...

The overall winner will get a $10 gift certificate from Amazon and their pick of three movies from the picture above. Second place will get the other two films.

One of the special trivia nights will be a Monty Python trivia contest, the winner of this will not only add to their overall total of points but will win all three of the films from the picture above.

Last but not least there will also be a family movie trivia contest with the winner adding to their total and walking away with the movie pictured above. There will be plenty of surprises in store so get ready!

[alkytrio666]

Rock on! Cool idea.

[Doc Faustus]

Do you need anyone else to write up some questions? I'm not on at night very often, but I can give you some trivia.

[Angra]

I really admire your reserves of energy.

[neverending]

This sounds very cool.

[newb]

Great idea


perhaps a little backround music during the trivia



hmmm.......if only we knew someone who had some kind of on-line radio station which played off the wall and fun music.

[fortunato]

wow, excellent idea.
can't wait!

[Zero]

i know the answer - - - "The Gate!"

[VampiricClown]

This could be interesting.

[Cinestro]

Great idea!

[ChronoGrl]

Sounds like a lot of fun!

Are we playing team trivia? Or individuals?

[_____V_____]

It will be individual. The question will be asked, and the first person to answer will score the points.

We have planety but I'm sure you've thought up some good ones. _V_'s right about this not just being a normal Q&A, you didn't think it would be THAT easy did you?

[Psycom5k]

[roshiq]

Probably I'll miss first few rounds as I'll having a vacation this Thursday for 3 to 4 days (after a long time since last year at Darjeeling, India) with my friends at St. Martin Island.:o

[Bub the Zombie]

Will the trivia be centered on horror films only, or will it be broadened to cover all films in general?

I'll try to be here Wed if I can.

[Despare]

Will the trivia be centered on horror films only, or will it be broadened to cover all films in general?

I'll try to be here Wed if I can.

The categories will change, this first round is general movies. There will also be trivia for music, classic horror, books, etc...

[wildfire]

Great Idea!!! :D Also a good way to get people more active!!

[_____V_____]

Alright folks, the time is drawing near. This Wednesday night at 12:00 midnight EST our first round will being. This round will be general movie trivia and will take place in the general forum. Read up folks, some of these questions could be tough!

[newb]

[fortunato]

[neverending]

NeverEndingWonder Radio is now broadcasting it's trivia contest soundtrack & coverage. From now till the end of the contest tonight I'll be playing music from movies old & newas well as providing coverage of the contest. It's all just for fun and there's no pressure to tune in, but you're entirely welcome to.

If you should so happen to desire to, just click this link:

NeverEndingWonder Radio (http://www.neverendingwonder.com)

and click on the LISTEN button.

[Despare]

Ten minutes until start time and we already have some great thinking music! Thanks Neverending! The rules are simple. There will 5 minutes alloted for each question to be answered. The first person to answer correctly wins. There will be 3 rounds of four questions each tonight and hopefully _V_ will be helping me conduct first round, unfortunately he's having technical difficulties. Keep your fingers crossed.

Make sure you head over to the official thread for round 1!

[Despare]

Round one is now over! We had a small turnout for the first night but that's ok, there's plenty more to come. As of now we have fortunato leading with 5 points and Neverending one behind with 4. Sunday night at 11PM est we will have round 2 in the modern horror section... http://www.horror.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=8 ... and it will be about horror movies only. So come on guys, cut their leads, give it a shot. You never know... you could win.


Thanks to _V_ for doing a great job co-hosting and our sponsor NEW Radio ran by Neverending. I couldn't think of a better soundtrack for our contest.

[fortunato]

hear, hear!
great job guys!

[neverending]

Contest was lots of fun! Everyone who's awake should play!

[_____V_____]

You guys rock...especially my co-host, Des!

And Neverending provided some awesome swinging music to the 1st Round. Way to go!:)

Let's hope for more turnout come Sunday night...hopefully Fortunato and neverending will get a REAL run for their money!:cool:

At the end of Round 1 of HDC Trivia, the scoreboard is :

Neverending with 4 points thanks to Bruce Lee and a Battleship...

while fortunato takes the night with 5 points! His total increased with Simon and Godfather 2.

[urgeok2]

Contest was lots of fun! Everyone who's awake should play!


and there's why i'll probably never be able to participate :)

(don't you guys work in the morning ??!!)

[newb]

and there's why i'll probably never be able to participate :)

(don't you guys work in the morning ??!!)

that was my problem as well

but i'll most likely be able to make the sunday one at 11

some tough questions in the first round

[_____V_____]

and there's why i'll probably never be able to participate :)

(don't you guys work in the morning ??!!)

Between my work and the comp, I am pretty busy. 8 hour shift, plus stuff here at HDC, keeps me totally involved. Its like this : Morning - comp, afternoon & evening - work, nights - comp, late night - sleep.


that was my problem as well

but i'll most likely be able to make the sunday one at 11

some tough questions in the first round

I hope you both do. I know Urge has a secret love for trivia, and would most likely make the 2nd round on Sunday as well.

[Despare]

Hopefully the 11 PM start works for everybody and remember, you can always stay and answer a few of the first questions and leave anytime if it gets late. We'll keep your score. :)

[angrymob]

AAAAHHH!Lost my on line service for three days.pissed that I missed round1..WILL BE HERE SUNDAY.

[Kane_Hodder]

Damnit I missed the first round.
I will be here on Sunday for the next one.

[_____V_____]

***BUMP***

Dont forget, folks...Sunday night at 11 PM will be Round 2 of The Official HDC Trivia Contest, sponsored by NEW Radio. It will be conducted in the Modern Horror Movies section, so be online and keep an eye peeled on that section.

Also, we have been debating over conducting Round 3 (and possibly subsequent Rounds) in the mornings. But traffic is usually higher at evenings and nights, hence the nocturnal timings right now.

What do you say? Your choice is our command.:)

[Despare]

We are here only to serve you so as _V_ said, please, let us know what you think. If there's an outcry to have an afternoon or morning trivia round once in a while I'm sure we can swing it.

[Kane_Hodder]

It would be good to have a few rounds on weekdays in the mornings, I guess.

[Despare]

Well, less than 24 hours now and we have questions in hand already just waiting to be answered. One thing though, NEW Radio is the sponsor for this little contest and I just wanted to remind people to start listening before the game is afoot. Neverending does such a great job with that station and you're really doing a disservice to yourself if you play along without listening.

[_____V_____]

Yep...check out NEW Radio for sure. Neverending does an awesome job giving background scores with some really groovy and jamming music.

We still await the majority's views on conducting some Rounds in the morning/day. Have your say, folks.

[neverending]

Thank you both for the praise. Setting the mood for these HDC events is very fun. I like it even better when people tune in and enjoy it! Since the next round is all horror movie trivia all the music will be from horror films. You're sure to hear Goblin, Carpenter and many other favorites.

[angrymob]

Please excuse my ignorance on the matter,but how do I find the tunes?Not sure where to look for neverending.

[neverending]

NeverEndingWonder Radio can be found at http://www.NeverEndingWonder.com - however I won't be playing the horror soundtracks till the trivia contest Sunday night.

[_____V_____]

Tap tap tap...

Just a small reminder that tonight is...



...TRIVIA night!:cool:

[angrymob]

I cant wait but I am nervous about being able to log in.Sometimes it lets me and other times not.The screen reads 'THANK YOU FOR LOGGING IN..." but I am unable to post.Anybody out there know why?

[angrymob]

a machete! Sorry,just warming up.:)

[_____V_____]

10 minutes remaining for Round 2 of HDC Trivia Contest, which will be staged in the Modern Horror Movies section.

And my friend Despare is not yet online...which is a bit worrying.

Anyway, I would like to request all Trivia players to head to the Modern Horror Section for Round 2, which starts shortly...

[angrymob]

Quite.:confused:

[neverending]

Well, you were late last time!

NeverEndingWonder Radio will be broadcasting horror movie soundtracks in keeping with this evening's theme of Horror Movie Trivia. Uncle Ozma will also be providing commentary. Tune in at:

http://www.NeverEndingWonder.com

[_____V_____]

[Despare]

Here's the total points so far...

Neverending - 6

fortunato - 5

Angrymob - 6

Newb - 4

Thats the leader-board as it stands now. I leave you with it. Good night, folks!

[neverending]

Really great job V and Despare, in making the questions creative- not just the run of the mill trivia questions. You two rock!

Not sure if I can be around for the next one- but I may be able to set something up to play soundtracks for the duration.

that would be a shame.....love the commentary

Me too.:cool:

[fortunato]

argggh!

i freakin' missed it (had to take a bandmate home after a gig).

well i'll be here on friday.
i've got to reclaim my lead!

mwahahahaha...

[_____V_____]

Not sure if I can be around for the next one- but I may be able to set something up to play soundtracks for the duration.

Darnit...I sure hope you are on, Never. Round 3 is Classic Horror Trivia, and you simply HAVE to be online.

[neverending]

Gotta pay the bills somehow!

[Despare]

Gotta pay the bills somehow!

Can't you play AND pay bills?

[neverending]

Not when paying the bills includes working for a living.

[_____V_____]

Should we bump it to earlier in the morning...say about 10 EST?

Think it over, and let us know.

[neverending]

Hell no- I ain't getting up that early!

:eek:

[GorePhobia]

Stinks I was away for this at the beginning. I'd like to get in here and try it out.

[newb]

just realized I'm off this friday [ good friday] ...so I should be here no problem

[fortunato]

just realized I'm off this friday [ good friday] ...so I should be here no problem

same here. 10 is fine for me.

Hell no- I ain't getting up that early!

:eek:

(although if neverending won't be there, i don't think it'd be as much fun without the awesome soundtrack).

[Despare]

Alright Neverending, what's the earliest you could be on? (I'm flexible.)

[neverending]

I have a job and have to work!

[Despare]

I have a job and have to work!

Right, I was talking about after work. After you're done with work and family and friend... when do you usually have time? Generally only a later evening thing?

[neverending]

I'll set up a script that will run the soundtracks for whatever time you set up, but I can't guarantee I'll be there.

[Despare]

I'll set up a script that will run the soundtracks for whatever time you set up, but I can't guarantee I'll be there.

That's fine (although your sublime commentary will be missed). I was just wondering what time is best for you for up and coming rounds. I just would like to start providing a day an time that will allow for a huge turnout. :)

[neverending]

My schedule is not steady and I never know from day to day what it will be, with a few exceptions (like Friday mornings and the weekend). Trying to schedule around me would be an exersize in futility.

[Despare]

Alright, just thought I'd try because your commentary is excellent along with the music. We'll all just hope you can be on for the rounds. :)

Forgot about this once again. Darn it. Good luck to everyone participating.

[Despare]

Forgot about this once again. Darn it. Good luck to everyone participating.

Remember, there are still 7 rounds to go with 12 points a round. You could come in very late and still clean house.

[GorePhobia]

Alright I will try and see what I can do for tomorrow night. I am not that great with Foreign flicks so I will see what I can do.

Thanks for the heads up!

[neverending]

I won't be around for the next round either- I might make it towards the end. NeverEndingWonder Radio will still provide your horrible soundtrack for the contest.

[_____V_____]

Dammit...:(

Dont tell me you are working...again!

[neverending]

Sorry- I am.

[_____V_____]

Oh well...hope you are back for the last 30 mins, at least.

i might be out of this one. :(

Like I've said before, not everybody can make every round and there are still 84 points up for grab... not to mention two rounds in which prizes are awarded for winning the round itself. You can catch up fortunato, even if you miss a few, the only thing stopping you are the other brilliant HDC members.

At the end of Round 4, the score-board looks like this :

Neverending - 8

fortunato - 5

Angrymob - 12

Newb - 10

Disease - 2


Angrymob is leading the pack, but has Newb and Neverending not far behind him. Can anybody challenge him and wrench the lead? We will see when Round 5 unfolds very soon next week.

Goodnight folks!!:cool:

[newb]

couldn't make it last night......nice going angrymob.

I thought more people would get into this:confused:

[Disease]

just the two of us competing last night and mainly asian horror questions which I don't watch a lot of.... add to that a couple I knew were up before I logged in to the page.

I'm looking forward to the next round.

[angrymob]

couldn't make it last night......nice going angrymob.

I thought more people would get into this:confused:

Thanks Newb.We missed ya.
I am surprised at the low turnout as well.Just Disease and I last night.The Truth is that I just kept throwing uneducated guesses out till something stuck.
Disease is a worthy opponent and made it competitive so..I'll take the points!
Hope you and others can be there for the next round.

[GorePhobia]

Yeah I missed it again. Go figure. I was at my brother's friends house in a 10 person Texas Hold Em' tournament with a 10 dollar buy in. Winner won 100 bucks and I won so it was worth missing the game. lol

[Despare]

You can expect the next round at 11:05 PM EST Thursday night. This round will still consist of three phases each containing four questions BUT each phase will contain questions based on a different topic. We will have horror videogame, music, and literature questions. Nobody has a lead that would prevent them from being dethroned by a newcomer but the longer people wait to get involved the harder the climb will be. Also remember that there will be two rounds coming up with prizes awarded simply for winning the round...

[neverending]

I should be able to make this one

[wufongtan.]

this game sounds dangerous.

[Despare]

Alright folks, next round will be Sunday morning at noon and this round will be trivia about family movies. Remember, this round is a prize bearing round which means whoever gets the most points in this round not only gets those points added to their total but wins a copy of The Princess Bride. See you Sunday!

[_____V_____]

Hell Yea!

You get the points PLUS win a DVD of The Princess Bride!!:cool:

Catch you on Sunday at noon folks!

[neverending]

We have new people on the board folks, and remember, there are still AT LEAST 60 points available not counting bonus points which may pop up without warning ;) . Here's what the scores look like...


Neverending - 18

fortunato - 8.5

Angrymob - 12

Newb - 12

Disease - 2

Gorephobia - 3

Cactus - 4

Jenna26 - 1



Congratulations to Cactus who won the prize round with 4 points taking 1/3 of the available points and winning a copy of The Princess Bride. Congrats Cactus! Remember there's still a Monty Python round coming up and without notice any round could contain a bonus prize!

[Despare]

The next round will take place on Wed. night at 11 PM EST.


Also, if anybody wants to PM me with suggestions for times or even post them here, since the Python round will have three prizes awarded to the winner I would like the best turnout possible. So let me know, when's a good time for you folks?

[neverending]

Any time Wed is great for me. I'll be present and providing musical accompaniment and commentary.

[ferretchucker]

I'll try my best. I think that'll be my 5:00am. So don't wait up.

Dustin wants in for Monty Python, but he has no previous points. Will this make it impossible for him to win? Also, he has no idea how to play (He saw V's 'commercial') :D

He can catch up pretty easily...depending on who shows up.

Its as simple as answering the questions FIRST

[neverending]

Just show up here at 11 PM EST - the trivia contest takes place in real time. first answer for each question wins. The Python dvds will be given for poinyts won in this round only, I believe.

i always pop in and out all day - but i'd never make it to 11:00 at night.

i get up at 5:30 AM each morning.. my eyes are closing around 7:30 in the middle of the 'after dinner movie' half the time these days.

[newb]

I don't get up until 7

I usually go to bed at midnight.

Tonights is Horror Movie Trivia but yes, when the Python round begins whoever wins that round gets the three Python movies. Like Cactus, he won the family trivia round which gave him some points AND a copy of The Princess Bride... which will be in the mail Cactus. :)

Aww, don't feel bad. It happens to the younger guys, too.

I put in a movie last night, and Dustin (he's only 23) was snoring in about 10 minutes.

Well, it was Night Of The Dead, Asylum's version of Re-Animator...It had a few good gore shots, but mostly it was a pretty bad movie...and that says a LOT coming from ME...So, I couldn't really blame him for falling asleep.

[Disease]

Sucks I probably will be asleep by the time it starts, what is it 2 hours away or more?

[neverending]

Sucks I probably will be asleep by the time it starts, what is it 2 hours away or more?

Just about 2 hours right now.

[Disease]

Just about 2 hours right now.

I'll try and make it, but I'll probably just be really tired and slow and useless. It will be 4am here.....

Hahah...no worries, it's all good. All the things going on now at this place just make it a blast to visit these days...

[Disease]

Damn it, I'm so tired...

I will be here for the Python One most definatley though.

[Despare]

I would like the Python round, since it's one of the bigger prizes, to take place at a time when most people can attend. Right now I'm thinking about 3PM EST on a Sunday.

Then again, I am a bit... brain-dead. ;)

[Dude Guadalupe]

I prefer it to happen now, since I'm awake and really want the prize :D

But nah, I'd rather just build anticipation. ;)

[Dude Guadalupe]

See? You already have good Python stuff, think of the less fortunate (me).

[Despare]

See? You already have good Python stuff, think of the less fortunate (me).

Only 4 or 5 books, lots of the movies, and the entire Flying Circus.

You'll get a chance, are you usually at wor... I mean around the computer on Sundays?

Sunday I'm at work from 3pm - 11pm so yeah

Here are the current scores with new faces on the board but the same leader as before! Neverending continues to lead but works so often... you kind of wonder how he does it. :eek:

Thanks again to NE and his commentary/soundtrack which always impresses and inspires. Look at Fortunato with a .5 point lead on a couple of people, great stuff. Oh, and remember, you can see (most) of the prizes on the first page of this thread!

PYTHON TRIVIA

[_____V_____]

Wee Monty Python is headed to your homes THIS SUNDAY folks!!

Make sure you dont miss it...

(I won't too...:o )

Catch you this Sunday!!!!!!!

[ferretchucker]

Thankgod you changed the time! It's a time that I could do without setting an alarm. And I was pissed off because my alarm for this morning (coz I thought the python one was 11:00pm est) didn't wake me up, so I thought I missed it.

[Disease]

Can I ask a favour, if people are willing, you see... On Sunday Grindhouse is showing at a cinema here as a one off, so I managed to get tickets....

It played here at the film festival, but sold out before I could get the tickets, but know I finally get to see it as it is ment to be.

All this means I can't make the Python trivia, but I so desperatley want to take part as I am a huge fan, though I don't expect to win, I just want to take part..

So if people can find it in there heart to move it to the following Sunday, or as a bonus round later on that would be great.

I know it's selfish and self indulgent of me, but who knows when I will get the chance to see Grindhouse on the big screen, and it's worth a shot...

Thanks in advance...

It's up to the masses, if I get a few PMs telling me to go ahead and change it I will change it but if I don't I'll simply proceed as planned. :)

[Despare]

Alright folks, looks like there's enough people who want to movie it so I'll keep you posted. Looks like these three DVDs will just have to wait right here until we play. :)

At least Cactus has his prize mailed already.

[Disease]

Great thanks everyone, you're all great gals...

[fortunato]

just wondering if there was any idea when the next round is going to happen.

[neverending]

I was wondering that myself... I imagine V's pretty busy with the Battle Royale....

[fortunato]

I was wondering that myself... I imagine V's pretty busy with the Battle Royale....

yeah definitely, that's what i figured has been keeping him.
i was just wondering if they had any idea about the next round or not.

[_____V_____]

Well I am packed to my neck in my daily schedule, thats for sure.

Also, because the next one will be Monty Python round with 3 DVDs going to the winner, me and Des haven't been able to zero upon a particular time slot yet...since we want the maximum participants in that round.

Hence we put the question to you all - which time will suit you the most?

There are some who prefer mornings, some prefer afternoons, some like the nights...now if only we all could agree on a common time.

[newb]

EDIT....wrong thread

[Disease]

well to make it suitable for me, it would be good if it was an afternoon or evening gig for U.S particapants in case I can't stay up till 4am...

[Despare]

Thursday night at 11 PM EST there will be a round. I'll let you all know the topic later tonight. I figure we usually do two a week so this will be the one before the Python round which as _V_ said, we still need a good time to hold. :)

[neverending]

I'm there!

[fortunato]

I'm there!

Classic horror! :eek:

YES! I was hoping you could be there, you're a busy guy though! Wouldn't have been the same without my faithful co-host and his curious questions!

I would never miss a chance to scramble NE's and newb's brains over one of my questions.

[Despare]

Good, they'll need some tough ones, Fortunato's a tough cookie on that classic horror too. Oh, what happened to Angrymob? He was doing well for a while. Let's not forget Cactus either, he snuck in and won a prize! So many other smart folks here, I don't think I could predict a winner! :eek:

[neverending]

With several rounds to go it's still anyone's game! Come one, come all!

[newb]

I should be there.

I've been in training using the Cliff Clavin buffalo theory for "brain building"

A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells.

Excessive intake of beer, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers!

Quess I DID miss a memo.

it was in a pm to me about the Battle Royale...but i'm sure he thought he would have been here....sometimes shit happens.


hmmmm...I might copywrite that

[Despare]

I'm sorry, I would have sent you guys an XBOX Live message if you were on... my computer was down. I have it up and running now thanks to the new PS but the graphics card STILL isn't working. I'll schedule another day, once again, I'm sorry.

[_____V_____]

Same here. I got tied up in the office under a TON of work which needed to be completed before my moving out.

Apologies to all Trivia players...and bigger apologies to NE. He was all ready with the soundtracks and stuff...sorry, bud.

We might be having the next Round this week in the day time. Which day would be suitable for you...let us know.

The timing might be Noon EST, as usual.

[fortunato]

noon thursday would be great for me.

[neverending]

Tuesday & Wed for me.

Tuesdays could easily be around 10 AM EST, Thursdays later around 4 PM, and Friday could be anywhere from 10 AM until 2 PM and even later.

Please? :)

[neverending]

I will be working.

[Despare]

I will be working.

Well, let me know folks, if the rest of you will be busy I'll put it off until later. Obviously it will never be finished if I wait for everybody but if a few or more can't be there than it's no fun. :)

[pinkfloyd45769]

How did i miss this?

[Despare]

How did i miss this?

You can still play!

If you're good you can even win, especially when we FINALLY have the Python round which will bring with it 24 points alone!

[newb]

I'll be at work...so I can be half-assed here......depending on how busy I get.....or if the boss goes home early:D

[pinkfloyd45769]

When did this start?

[Despare]

When did this start?

In March

But only one prize has been given away so far, Cactus won a copy of The Princess Bride.

[Despare]

So nobody could do 2... how about Tuesday? If at least three people say they can be on I'll run a round heh. Damn people being busy all the time. 12 noon, 2 PM, or 8PM... it's up to you all. Next round prize is a pair of sunglasses from Hell, a short Sin City comic, and maybe some other little things. Hell, I could even do one tonight at 11 PM or so.
