Happy Friday the 13th, the one day a year when even the bravest among us think twice before answering the phone, walking under a ladder, or heading anywhere near a summer camp. Whether you consider yourself a die-hard horror fanatic or someone who watches scary movies from behind a pillow, today is the perfect day to put your knowledge to the test.
From slasher icons who’ve haunted our nightmares for decades to modern psychological horrors that messed with our heads in ways we still haven’t recovered from, horror movies have given us some of pop culture’s most unforgettable moments and a few seriously sneaky plot twists.
Think you know your final girls from your demons, your summer camps from your haunted hotels? We’ve got six questions that’ll separate the true horror fans from the people who close their eyes during the trailers.
Good luck, you’re going to need it!
