The Ultimate Dark Shadows Fan Quiz (http://www.squidoo.com/the-ultimate-dark-shadows-fan-quiz)
Definitely have to check out this quiz! Well, when I have the time to try to answer 100 questions. [ghost_wink]

Took it. Did pretty well. But the quiz has some errors--like confusing Angelique with Catherine, which at least makes some sense. But it also maintains Roger was Elizabeth's husband!
-
Well, that certainly puts a damper on things. [ghost_sad]

The first 25 questions seemed easy enough but only if you watched a different show. Clarice Blackburn playing Mrs. Sam Evans was amusing, but when I got to the photo of Seaview and a question directly underneath that expects you to answer that exterior shots were filmed at Lyndhurst, I was done.

This quiz had many sloppy mistakes. It's odd, because it seemed as if the person putting it together had a fair amount of knowlege about the show, and then you find mistakes like the ones mentioned in earlier posts here.

Oh wow - who the hell put this thing together?! Whoever they are, rather than instructing potential takers of the quiz to study up by watching the DVDs, they're the ones who obviously need to do more studying . [ghost_rolleyes]

Wow. I'm glad I read the thread before bothering to start the quiz.
Shouldn't we have the person put a disclaimer on that there's nothing remotely "ultimate" about their knowledge of the series?
It reminds me of the time some tremulous admirer wrote the Ladies of Llangollen begging to come and spend the weekend basking in their fabulosity and received a reply that began, "I do not think you know Who We Are."

I actually got 100%, but not according to the game. As those who have already taken it, it does have wrong answers.

I finally got a chance to check this out. Wow - it was even worse than I'd imagined it might have been from the comments! [sad3] Apparently whoever put the quiz together watched some parallel universe version of the DS because they certainly didn't watch the version we're all familiar with.

Apparently they've made some changes to the quiz:

And believe it or not they have actually corrected at least some of the ridiculous answers. For instance, it's now correct to say that Clarice Blackburn played Mrs. Johnson and that Thayer David played Professor Stokes, Mordecai Grimes, and Count Petofi, as well as Ben Stokes, Matthew Morgan, and Sandor Racosi (even if Rakosi is still spelled wrong). Though that third section of five questions is the only section I checked, so I don't know if the others have been fixed...

And Megan Todd was a vampire as well.
