QUIZ RECAP

Reese's? Reese's Pieces? Or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups? If that is the most
dramatic issue of your day, you lead a pretty good life. Yet, it is subjects
like this that raise blood pressure as we near All Hallow's Eve, better known
as Halloween, for our questions turn to this spiritual (literally) holiday for
inspiration, at least as practiced here in America where candy companies take
their turn ruling us mere mortals.

All in all, it was a pretty good question set focusing on things halloweeny!
The Picture Round had a particular significance for Quiz Master Lou, who made
out the image of his old pal, Rick Overton, sitting in the squad car of the
movie Eight Legged Freaks. Identifying the film/TV series based on the spider
pictured was a great idea, though some classics didn't make it onto the list.
This caused some frivolous guesses, especially for the Treasure Planet arachnid
which one team dubbed Gone with the Wind. Coincidentally, the Spider-Man: Turn
Off the Dark answer in the Theme Round put a fly in the webby ointment for a
lot of folks!

And finally, a lot of aging rebels were hard pressed to come up with the song
titles of the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack, but if they had toast,
they would have thrown it! A couple of newbie teams couldn't go the distance
while One Left in the Chamber, Blood, Bath & Beyond and Tequila Mockingbird
won first, second and third prizes respectively.

Have a spoooooky week, all!
