Ultimate Fan Quiz: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Our next Ultimate Fan quiz takes us to Texas, and the old Franklin Place. There are, we have to admit, a few tough ones here. But so far, the theory that these quizzes are too hard for anyone to get 100 percent right has proved 100 percent wrong.
The first two people to correctly answer all questions by Oct.31 will each win The Texas Chainsaw Massacre- Ultimate Edition DVD.
Please leave your answers in the comments section of this post and make sure that we have your name and email. We will contact the winner for additional mailing information. The winner will be announced in the comments section of this quiz post on or around November 15th. The winner may also be profiled in a blog entry deeming him/her the Ultimate Fan.
It may take up to 6 weeks for the winner to receive the DVD prize.

WE HAVE OUR WINNERS!
Congratulations to Lora Littleton and Kristin Bennett -- you are the first two respondents with 13 correct answers! Lora, this should (kind of) make up for the heartbreak of ALMOST winning our Exorcist quiz as well.
THANKS TO ALL WHO RESPONDED! Your enthusiasm -- and impressive knowledge -- means more quizzes are on the way soon. It also means that they're going to be... HARDER. (Quizzes currently in the works: Carrie and Psycho. I'll find out what other movies you want to see quizzified in a Monsterfest post soon.)
