Think you know Michael Myers? Test your Halloween movie trivia knowledge with Jacob and Allie on Cursed Knowledge!

This episode takes us to Haddonfield for three rounds devoted to the Halloween franchise: classic trivia, Only Connect–style connection puzzles, and “Two Movies, One Plot,” where a shared description points to two different films. From John Carpenter’s original Halloween to H20, Resurrection, Rob Zombie’s remakes, and Halloween Kills and Ends, Allie puts Jacob’s memory of Laurie Strode, Michael Myers, and the franchise’s tangled timelines to the test.

Jacob has seen these movies. Remembering character names is another matter. Expect increasingly desperate guesses, repeated mentions of Busta Rhymes and Paul Rudd, and a guest appearance from a noisy Sam animatronic.

Can you beat Jacob’s score? Play along and tell us how you did!

How well do you know your Halloween horror movies? Play along with Jacob and Allie in the first trivia episode of Cursed Knowledge, a horror movie trivia podcast testing your knowledge of films set on and around Halloween.

We’re going beyond Michael Myers with movie tagline trivia, Only Connect–style connections, and fictional one-star reviews. From Trick ’r Treat and ParaNorman to Hell House LLC and Donnie Darko, can you recognize the movies before Jacob does? Expect questionable guesses, debates over the scoring, and one very generous definition of winning.

And yes, Halloween III: Season of the Witch sneaks into this non-franchise episode. We have an explanation. Sort of.
