S6 E3 - The 2019 Quiz & Hers Halloween Special Spooktacular
Boo! With Halloween right around the corner, Justin has written six spooky trivia questions about this most haunted of holidays. We also scare up discussions of horror movies, college football, and the retail apocalypse.
2:02: Q1 (Times & Places): The word “Halloween” comes from the Christian feast of All Hallows Eve, but most of what we associate with it, including wearing costumes and carving faces into vegetables, derive from this Gaelic festival that marks the end of the harvest season.
8:33: Q2 (Sports & Games): Born on Halloween, October 31, 1951, what legend of American football has been the head coach at the University of Alabama since 2007, leading the Crimson Tide to five national championships in 12 seasons?
14:50: Q3 (Science): In an annual event held the first weekend after Halloween, uncarved Jack-o-Lanterns are hurled tremendous distances in the World Championship Punkin Chunkin. The gourds are chucked by various mechanical means, including catapults and this more advanced siege weapon, which uses a counterweight, lever, and sling to throw its pumpkin-y payload.
21:22: Q4 (Everything Else): Now owned by Spencer Gifts, what pop-up store, which moves in to unused storefronts each year in August, is the largest retailer of spooky costumes and decorations in the United States?
28:09: Q5 (Sounds & Screen): While the Halloween series of movies mostly follows the murderous exploits of Michael Myers, Halloween III is an unrelated story about pagan rituals. What is the subtitle of this infamous film flop, which is also the title of song performed by Scottish singer Donovan?
35:20: Q6 (Arts & Literature): The Halloween Tree is a 1972 novel by what American sci-fi and fantasy author, who is probably better known for works such as Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Illustrated Man, and The Martian Chronicles?
