And here’s this week’s quiz: The Not-Quite-Monster-Themed Quiz!

(Why? Simply because I know monsters better than I know Halloween, and Not-Quite because I did it on the fly.)

1. What television show almost always closed with the phrase “keep your stick on the ice”?

2. What is the first and last name of the major league baseball player who is guaranteed to receive a 2010 World Series ring no matter which teams wins the Autumn Classic?

4. According to radio spots, what company allows you to “save as much as inhumanly possible”?

5. This monster movie begins in the year 1999, after the United Nations Scientifc Committee has established an exploratory base on the surface of the moon. Unknown to Earth, the moon also has a base for an alien race. The alien race has a secret base near Izu. What is the name of this all-star monster movie?

6. What is the name of the comic book character featured in the picture below? Please be exact.

7. Bill Cosby used to relate a tale of his youth in his stand-up routine in which he and his brother Harold were frightened by the telling of a story. This story had actually been broadcast on radio shows in the thirties and forties several times, and is still regarded as a somewhat of a horror classic. Who was the original writer of that terrifying tale?

10. What is the name given to the monstrous creature in the picture below?

As always, good luck to everyone who plays! And Happy Halloween!
