Hi Folks

I need to come up with a Halloween themed quiz for my team brief this week. Not sure where to start as there are so many quiz generator type sites you need to register for first and none seem to cover this particular topic.

I need 15-20 questions that are on a Halloween theme.

Can any of you help please? :)
