Ah, sorry about the clutter there.
And I missed a chance, too: in the subject line, I should have
inserted the word "other" after "and". Oh well.

This was the easiest round in the original game, and if audio and

entire season.

Jason included dates with each of his answers, thus providing himself
with an opportunity to go wrong in case of movies that were remade.
However, I do not have sufficient knowledge of the subject to be able
to check the dates, so I ignored them.

"Hereditary".
> 2. B.
"Texas Chain Saw Massacre". 4 for Dan Blum and Jason.
> 3. C.
"The Shining". 4 for Joshua.
> 4. D (decoy).
"Zombie".
> 5. E.
"Dawn of the Dead". 4 for Jason.
> 6. F.
"The Exorcist". 4 for Bruce and Jason.
> 7. G.
"A Nightmare on Elm Street".
> 8. H (decoy).
"Babadook".

"Friday the 13th". 4 for Jason.
