Never seen Pet Semetary - Hocus Pocus is about my level 😂

Good quiz!

[gmarkj]

Interesting answer on the castle - that's not far from home!

No clue on the lake, and I suppose the cities make more sense than Cambridge & Oxford.

Hey ho, pleased with my 5.

Great questions @Mi-Amigo. 

[Cleoriff]

I've seen both versions @pgn  and both frightened me to death.

In the 2nd version Church was played by a beautiful MaineC/O/O/N cat. Real name Leo

[BobM]

Wasn't too sure of a couple of them so happy with the result.

Well done everyone and thanks @Mi-Amigo 👍

[RafaC]

Half-a-star is better than none I suppose 😅
Knew I wasn't going to do well on this one.

Congrats to all the other quizzers and thanks @Mi-Amigo! 

[MI5]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done all.

[Comben]

I found that WRQ partially tough this week so I'm pretty happy with my 2 stars, looking around it seems others found it difficult too.

Well done to all those with top marks and even to those without, I hope you that like me, you all enjoyed it nevertheless.

Cheers to Mi-Amigo, who I always respect for giving up their time and effort to make each WRQ possible. 😀
