Trivia to Die For!

As you all already probably know, I'm a huge fan of the Friday the 13th series of distinguished films. Jason Voorhees is one of my closest bffls. I can't really talk about Jason without Freddy, so it's pretty safe to say that Jim and I are also great enthusiasts of the "Nightmare on Elm Street" Franchise. So anytime Jim or myself can get our little grubby hands on something related to good ol' Jason/Freddy, we jump on the chance. Here are a few examples:

Last Halloween, we ordered goblets...


a Freddy v. Jason Platter..



a Friday the 13th Bowl...

and a 6 foot tall Jason Voorhees figure (Pictured below with Mr. Peanut and Violently Bald Britney Spears):



Then of course, we've got the Friday the 13th Nintendo game (impossible to beat/play for more than 20 minutes without wanting to kill yourself):


and A Nightmare on Elm Street Nintendo game:

The Friday the 13th Nintendo game is especially great because it involves Jason chasing you around with a toothbrush to enforce good hygiene:

(just kidding...supposed to be an axe).

Anyway, we thought he had it all.....that is, until our pals came over with a gift....


KILLER TRIVIA!!! Jim loves nothing more than trivia games...and to combine his beloved trivia with Jason Voorhees and Freddy Kreuger?! forget it!

Why have I never heard of this at Monster Bash Blog? Why hadn't Amazon suggested it to me? It is a Collector's Limited Edition Item! This Website is out of stock of it, that's how rare this amazing game is. Boardgamegeek.com gave it a 7.0 out of 10...that's pretty good!

Let's check out what's inside....


some good instructions... (I love the font of Killer Trivia, btw)


The notepad that you count your victims on is amazing. It's a headless body with a thought bubble. There are also two separate card packets for both Jason and Freddy, and one set of cards that have questions about Freddy vs. Jason. Inside are like 300 cards with trivia questions, and a "coroner's report" set of cards with EVERY SINGLE victim and how they died. My favorite is the one in Jason X where the girl gets her face smashed...you remember that one, I had it on here:
Jason X

The die also has little bodies on it so you can determine how many "bodies" you're going for- 1-5. The more bodies, the harder the question. The key to the game is to get the most bodies, which is consistent with both films, so I appreciate that.

So basically, you are doing trivia for 10 Jason films, 7 Freddy films, and Freddy vs. Jason. That's alot of movie action!



This game is out control awesome for horror movie fans everywhere. Get together and play it with some friends....who knows what could happen!
