    Default Melloween Tweet Quiz

    Horror is such a subjective theme, but here are twenty tweets for you to identify. Each one is something that a major character from a horror story, either a book or film, might have sent out at some time. Assuming, of course, that they would have had access to Twitter.

    For each tweet, I am looking for the person tweeting and the source material.

    As an example:
    Masked ball. My place tonight. Ignore plagued peasants en route. Wine, women, song…Unmask at midnight
    - Prince Prospero from Masque of the Red Death

    Halloween Tweets

    1. How hard is it to provide an impure ingredient for an experiment, its MAKING ME ANGRY.

    2. Gone shopping for fine Chianti as I'm having a friend for dinner.

    3. What a stroke of luck, saved by my number one fan from a snowdrift.

    4. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All wor

    5. Off to the remote scottish island of Summerisle to look for a missing girl.

    6. Anyone recommend a good idea for finding something, other then performing a blood test in the Antarctic

    7. Am stuck in a castle in Bulgaria sorting out an estate deal for a Count. Nice trio of ladies though, but not a patch on Mina

    8. SOS. Rammed unknown cephalopod. Discovered undersea ruins. Request science team - Stat

    9. Came into money. Found motel on way to California. Will decide next move after a shower.

    10. Help. Call police and rescue team. Monty went nuts and bricked me up in the cellar over a cask of wine.

    11. Woohoo!! Giant underground worms!! Me and Rhonda are gonna be rich!!

    12. My oath has expired. You must stop my sister’s wedding with all speed. Lord R- is not what he seems. Poor Ianthe! Letter to follow. A.

    13. What a beautiful estate in Essex. The children are as charming as their father is distant. Shame the staff aren’t friendlier

    14. English pubs are full of wierdos. stick to the road, don’t go on the moor, mind the full moon and now Jack can hear howling.

    15. So the master has married again. A mere girl, presuming to replace my mistress. She’ll never measure up. I know it, and so will she.

    16. Help, am stuck in woods with two twits and their camera. Need GPS Position, exorcism and rescue ASAP.

    17. The sky’s turned green. I can’t find Hettie but we’ve no time left. Too many people have died, we have to use the bomb. May she forgive me.

    18. Missed the meteor shower last night, thanks to a plant trying to kill me. Was it any good?

    19. I was wrong. It is not the plague, it is the vorvolakas that takes them each night. I saw her buried, how can I kill a dead woman?

    20. Just developed some interesting photos, travelling with an ambassador to Rome. Don’t like mine having a mark across the neck.

    I'll put the answers up in a couple of days time.

    Good Luck.

    I'm thinking this is from The Thing, but I never saw any of the various versions of it. I just know Carpenter's remake was in Antarctica.

    Argh. I know this one. I can outline the whole plot in my head. I cannot remember the name.

    I don't know this one.

    20. Just developed some interesting photos, travelling with an ambassador to Rome. Don’t like mine having a mark across the neck.
    Nor this one.
    So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.
