7 Orion 318,18
8 egan2020 318,18
9 aido76 309,09
10 orchidsrpretty 272,73
Those who answered 'apples' or 'oranges' to question 2 got changed to a generic 'fruit' and as such 'eye of newt' became 'newt' and frogs legs became 'frogs'. yeah, I know Shakespeare said 'eye of newt' but I wasn't going to be that picky
Here are the submissions. Answers in bold are the top answers.
1. Ghost 6
1. Pumpkin 1
1. Witch 4
2. fruit 6
2. Money 2
2. Nuts 3
3. Bobbing for apples 10
3. Snap apple 1
Ahh, snap apple. I loved that game. Doesn't seem to be all that popular with this crowd though
4. cobwebs 4
4. Skeletons 4
4. Spiders 1
4. witch 1
4. Candles 1
5. boris Karloff 1
5. Christopher Lee 1
5. Jack Nicholson 1
5. Jamie Lee Curtis 4
5. johnny depp 2
5. Sigourney Weaver 1
5. Tom Atkins 1
6. Alien 1
6. Blair Witch Project 1
6. dracula 1
6. Exorcist 1
6. friday the 13th 3
6. Nightmare on Elm Street 2
6. Scream 1
6. The Shining 1
7. Dracula 3
7. Frankenstein 1
7. Pet cemetery 1
7. The Shining 6
Surprised with this one. I guessed that Dracula would be top as it's more 'Halloweenie' than The Shining and was written by an Irishman.
8. Black 5
8. orange 6
I'm very sure that if I asked this question 20-30 years ago that 'orange' wouldn't have appeared in this list and that people would have split their votes between black and red. Does 'orange' beating 'black' mean that Halloween is now an American holiday?
9. (Eye of) newt 6
9. Frog (legs) 3
9. Poison 1
9. spiders 1
"Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing,--
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."
10. Crucifix 1
10. Garlic 1
10. holy water 1
10. sunlight 8
If the zombie apocalypse don't occur and instead the world is invaded by vampires then I want to team up with the people who said 'sunlight' as besides the stake it's the only sure fire way to really kill one. The garlic and the crucifix will just keep them away and the holy water burns them as though it was acid but again, unlikely to actually kill them.
So well done to the 11 who entered! I'll put another one together this weekend. Follow me @ptegan if you don't visit this forum very often but want to be kept up to date as to when I post these puzzles.0 -

I PMed you on the 29th.
I demand a recount! :pac:
Hmmmm...I don't see a PM from you.
Any chance you still have the answers?
EDIT : Looks like I have a problem with my inbox. I have some PMs that I can't seem to open. There may be another 4 entries to add to the totals. Everything could change !0 -
