With the scheduled release of the Saw reboot this weekend, we thought it might be fun to dive back into the gory and frightening world of the 2000’s (2000-2009).

I knew very few answers, but I had at least one or two where I was close. Like “It was Mummy’s sequel!” without getting the actual name.
Final score? 7.
That means in a horror movie, I would be the one who would die before anyone even realizes there is a horror movie happening. “Did you hear about `Lex? They found his body completely drained of all his bandwidth!” “Wow, I guess it was bound to happen. Are we all still meeting for that Retro CyberCafe VideoChat tonight?”
Congrats, you’re the “inciting incident.”
Then what am I? His score is a little over double mine…
You are “There was a similar incident 27 years ago in this same city!”
Blaine is the crazy old guy who warns the young’uns not to go to the old deserted sawmill for their party?
I see a lot of horror– but apparently, not a lot of these horrors. I had a few of Lex’s, “oh, yeah, that’s right,” moments.
I think this represents my worst showing to date:
First Round: 3
Second Round: 2
Third Round: 1
I was hoping for a nod to Ginger Snaps (2000), but it was mentioned in an earlier Trivia Podcast, I believe.
As for the big screen Scooby-Doo, it was pretty horrible, and it had that terrifying…uh… farting contest, but… Yeah… Not so much a horror movie.
Those Scooby movies were better than they had any right to be. They weren’t great, but they were surprisingly enjoyable compared to… well, anything else with Scrappy Doo.
And they helped get James Gunn where he is today. And for that, we should all give thanks.
Low bar though you’ve set, Lex, I offer The Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby-Doo as the counter-example.
Oh, that reminds me, I need to grab the direct-to-DVD sequel to 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo (I think it came out last year).
I’ve seen it and am thinking we should review it next Halloween. It’s okay for what it is.
