#MeBoo: Classic Film Images Photo Quiz, Oct. 2020 Edition, Vol. 36-24-36-43
Amid all of the fuss of the current extended job interview between two fellows who, in the real world, would be underqualified to handle the complexities of being given the responsibility of bagging groceries at the local Trader Joe’s (Thank goodness politics happens to be the lone professional pursuit which mandatorily requires neither experience nor a discernible skill set.), the world seems to have forgotten (or have been mercilessly
distracted from, by the private designs of a shamelessly mind deadening mass media) the critical social issues which just mere months ago were aggressively hammered into our collective skulls as being of such importance that any casual dismissal of said issues would forever corrupt and diminish our very characters into the dustbin of infamy. And so, in the spirit of renewing our commitment to addressing grievous societal ills (though without any commitment to take said ills seriously), we present this month’s edition of Boston’s most revered pastime not containing references to either chowder or taxation, the Classic Film Images Photo Quiz, brought to you, as always, by those wonderful folks who bring us SKITTLES, America’s favorite breakfast candy. In this Halloween-themed edition we present a celebration of female empowerment and independence as represented in the cinema in the form of horrible, dangerous (often murderous), often supernaturally generated figures of dread and horror (with a special emphasis on one particular- though unnamed -individual who all dedicated readers of CSR will certainly not fail to recognize). Your task, is to endure the twenty five frightful images which follow, and to correctly identify the titles of all of the corresponding films. The first to do so will receive the nerve-racking CSR Culture Shock Award, the perfect substitution for an expensive cordial on a dark and stormy night. Good luck.

I have the Flu, and I am hating WordPress with a real vengeance. But i will have a try at the answers anyway, just to stop me running screaming into the local river.
25. Guessing. (Bad start. It looks like Liz Taylor, so could it be Secret Ceremony?)
24) The She-Creature
23) Vampire Circus
22) The Howling (I think)
21) X, Y and Z (Michael Caine, if I remember right)
20) Night Of the Living Dead. (Classic!)
19) Hammersmith Out. (Burton with his wife again)
18) Clash Of The Titans (That’s Medusa, so it must be the remake)
17) Winter Kills (I enjoyed that one)
16) The Beyond (A TV watch for me, not great)
15) The Flintstones (I prefer the cartoon)
14) The Witches (Angelica Huston)
13) The Honeymoon Killers (I have that on DVD)
12) Identikit (An older Liz, still attractive)
11) Whoever Slew Aunti Roo? (Shelley was the clue!)
10) Spirits Of The Dead (A 1960s ‘trilogy’ film)
09) Looks like Liz again, but it’s a Nope.
08) The Blue Bird
07) The City Of The Dead (Christopher Lee)
06) Hellhole (I had forgotten about that one until I saw the still)
05) Il Toscanini (I think. I haven’t seen it but I recall the fuss about her blacking up to play an opera singer)
04) It’s a shipwrecked horror thing, but the title escapes me. Nope.
03) A Little Night Music
02) Night Watch
01) Brides Of Dracula
Two Nopes and a couple of lame guesses. Maybe 21 correct, if I am lucky. I think I missed your last quiz because I was on holiday and had no computer.
Best wishes, Peter Cushing.
Hey, who’s afraid of Liz? She was even OK in a couple of movies.
Terrifying woman…. terrifying. Must get an exorcist to cleanse my mind. Dominus vobiscum.
Et cum spiritu tuo. I actually know a few of these so I’ll have to get my answers posted. As soon as I figure out what they’ve done to WordPress that makes it so hard to operate now.
Not only is their new editor ridiculously complicated, but the informational tutorials they put out remind me of the hieroglyphic interocitor instructions from “This Island Earth”.
What is it with this “block editing” nonsense? I don’t write in blocks.
Your quiz is my refuge from all this madness. I’m not very familiar with Liz’s oeuvre so I’ll leave her alone. Among the others.
1) Brides of Dracula
7) City of the Dead
11) Whoever Slew Auntie Roo?
14) The Witches
16) The Beyond
18) Clash of the Titans (remake)
20) Night of the Living Dead
22) Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf
10 and 15 look familiar but I can’t pull the trigger. Actually, if I got all these right this is probably my best quiz yet (I’m no Pete!). I’m hoping to start my quizzes up again next month, but that will depend on whether or not I can learn these new protocols. I may just decide to pack it in.
Alex, I think I’m figuring this out. When you sign on to the new posting editing page, there’s a + in a square on the upper left. Push that and you get a menu. Scroll down to the “text” offerings and a symbol marked ‘classic’ appears. Push that and the classic WordPress editor will return to your editing page, removing the block editor.
Thanks Chandler! That does help with the text. I’m still finding the placement of images to be a hassle. But I’m hoping this is one of those things where there’s a learning curve and I’m on it.
If you punch in the classic editor, the dashboard should appear on the top of your work area as before. (If not, just punch the classic bar)The tiny camera symbol on the top row should still engage the media prompt and then when you download the image, the same directional placement appears as always. Hopefully we’ll back to normal as soon as we figure this out completely.
I made that work once, then the next two tries it wouldn’t play. I am currently not posting as a result of the visitation of the cursed block editor!
Needless to say your eight answers are all correct. Bravo!
That should be worth at least a skittle or two.
A bag or two at least!
