Okay, so, I’ve been meaning to share this for a while now, and today seems like the perfect day. I’ve always been a huge fan of horror movies, like, since I was a kid. There’s just something about the thrill, the suspense, you know? Anyway, I started making this little project for myself – a horror movie trivia game. And let me tell you, it turned out to be way more fun than I expected.
I started by just jotting down some questions that popped into my head. You know, stuff like “Who is the killer in Friday the 13th?” or “What’s the name of the hotel in The Shining?”. Basic stuff, really. But then I thought, “Why stop there?”. So I started digging deeper. I watched a bunch of my favorite horror flicks again, scoured the internet for those obscure facts, and even read some books about the making of these movies.
It was a bit of a rabbit hole, I’ll admit. I spent hours, probably days, just collecting all this trivia. My notes were a mess, honestly. I had scraps of paper everywhere, a million tabs open on my computer, it was chaos. But, good chaos, you know?
After I had a decent amount of questions, I decided to organize them. I categorized them by movie, by subgenre, and even by difficulty level. This was surprisingly the hardest part. It felt like being a librarian but for, like, the most messed up library ever.
Then came the fun part – designing the actual trivia game! Now, I’m no programmer, but I managed to cobble together something pretty simple using a basic website builder. Nothing fancy, just a bunch of multiple-choice questions. You know, keep it simple, stupid, that’s my motto.
Here’s how I broke it down:
- Gathering the Questions: This was the most time-consuming part, but also the most rewarding. I felt like a horror movie detective or something.
- Organizing the Questions: Like I said, it was a pain, but it was necessary. Can’t have a trivia game without some structure.
- Building the Game: This was the most technically challenging part for me, but I learned a lot. I figured out the website builder, put it all together, and I was good to go.
- Testing and Tweaking: I played the game myself, had some friends try it out, and made adjustments based on their feedback. Pretty standard stuff.
And finally, after all that work, I had a working horror movie trivia game! It’s not perfect, but it’s mine, and I’m pretty proud of it. I even started sharing it with some online horror movie communities, and people seem to be enjoying it. It’s just a fun little thing I made, and it’s been a blast to see other people get a kick out of it too. Makes all those hours of research totally worth it.
So, yeah, that’s the story of my little horror movie trivia project. Just goes to show, you can turn any passion into something fun and shareable, even if it’s something as niche as horror movie trivia. It’s rough around the edges, sure, but it’s got heart, just like a good old-fashioned slasher flick. I did something cool, I made something from my passion, and I shared it with my friends! It was awesome!
