Basically at work on Saturday we are having a charity fundraising day and part of my role is to make a Halloween related quiz. Now I could just copy and paste a quiz, but I'd rather put in a little more effort (plus alot of the free ones are a bit crap imo).

It would be really appreciated if some of you guys could put some question suggestions forward to help me out a little (with the answers please). I'm asking for a bit help as I don't want to make the quiz too hard or too easy, or too boring

I've never made a quiz before so I don't want it to be crap.

Thank you in advance.
