Title: Quiz From the Dark Side
Post by: Midnite on March 08, 2007, 06:01:39 PM: Even if you're too timid to take their Blood Quiz, at least check out the 1st page: QUIZ FROM THE DARK SIDE on Lifetimetv.com (http://www.lifetimetv.com/shows/bloodties/quiz/main.php?bloodquizpage=intro)

The quiz isn't perfect but it's definitely fun, and a guest at the last Fest is a consultant for the site.

Thanks, Julia99! :D

Post by: Willie on March 08, 2007, 06:30:04 PM: I got 8 out of 11, which isn't bad considering I don't watch half those shows. I think I got that one about the vampire on that old soap opera right ;D

The Underworld Oughta Be Scared of You!

Your Score: 11 out of 11.

You could slay a vampire, vaporize a few ghosts or kick some demon butt without even breaking a sweat! It's obvious that you've studied up on your creatures of the night.

But then, I watch or have watched all those shows with the one exception of Eeire, Indiana - and on that one I guessed the right answer. ;)

I do have one complaint, though - couldn't they have spelled Barnabas' name correctly? ::)

Apparently the Underworld can be scared of both of us. ;)

Yes, and I was wondering if the Ghost Whisperer really saved Aisha Tyler's character from the "afterlife" (I mean, she DID cross over eventually with her soul intact, right?) but I do know how she died.

Post by: arashi on March 08, 2007, 08:29:19 PM: Myself, 8 out of 11. They featured Barnabas as the graphic for the quiz, and yet still manage to spell his name wrong in it. Fun quiz though, thanks for the link!

Post by: Gothick on March 08, 2007, 09:39:43 PM: I got 7 out of 11 which seems very high given that I only watched about four of the shows involved.

That new series, Blood Ties, looks like a bit of cheesy fun for late nights. If any cousins tune in, I'd be curious to see a review. I don't have cable so won't be watching.

Post by: Sunny_Collins on March 08, 2007, 09:45:54 PM: Um, yeah, I got four out of eleven. :-[

Oh well, at least I'll keep all of the vampire slayers and other supernatural investigators employed. ;D

However, I did get the one about Barnabas right, and that's all that matters, right? 8)

Thanks for the fun quiz, Midnite!

Post by: Josette on March 09, 2007, 08:09:35 AM: Did they give the correct answers anywhere? They gave me a final score, but at no time could I find out what the answers were!
Title: Re: Quiz From the Dark Side
Post by: Mysterious Benefactor on March 09, 2007, 09:18:55 AM: I don't think they did, Josette. But after this topic runs its course, or the quiz disappears from the site (whichever comes first) either Midnite or I will post the answers for anyone who's wondering what questions they might have missed. :)

Post by: CastleBee on March 09, 2007, 08:03:55 PM: My sad sack score was 6 of 11. ::) I haven't seen most of the shows on the list and since I consider "Ghost Wisperer" to be a pale imitation of "Medium" I've only seen a couple of those. I would like to know what I actually missed or didn't miss though.

Title: Re: Quiz From the Dark Side
Post by: Gerard on April 24, 2007, 05:03:35 PM: Hey! They corrected "Barnabus'" name on the quiz! At least they didn't call him "Barnaby" Collins originally. I've seen that mistake quite a few times.

When Sam Evans called him Barnaby I was rollin'. I love that blooper - the first time I saw it I was in just the right mood for it to send me into hysterical laughter.

Post by: Jackie on May 19, 2007, 05:53:42 AM: I just took the test and didn't do as well as you all did but I did notice that Barnabas Collins' name was correct... this time. I guess they corrected it. MAYBE they read this board! LOL

Yes I noticed others saw the same thing but not until I posted this. Oh well, the test for fun anyway. Noticed the order of the questions were different then the one MB posted on this thread.
