Questions People Ask
Is this Halloween trivia LGBTQ+ themed?
Yes. All 20 questions come from queer horror and LGBTQ+ Halloween culture: James Whale and the Universal monster films, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Elvira, Jennifer's Body, Hellraiser, Fear Street, Interview with the Vampire, and the drag queens who made Halloween their whole personality. It is a Halloween trivia quiz written for people who call the holiday Gay Christmas.
How is the trivia scored?
Every question is multiple choice with one correct answer, and it is marked as you go — you find out immediately whether you were right, with a short explanation of the fact. One point per correct answer, 20 points available in total. Your final score lands you in one of four bands, from Baby Gay at the Haunted House up to Elvira's Personal Assistant.
Can I play gay Halloween trivia with a group?
Yes, and it is better that way. One phone can be passed round a party with each person taking a question, or everyone can play on their own device and compare final bands at the end. It is free, there is no sign-up, and the whole round takes about six minutes.
