Answers

  1. C. The Thing (1982) – Directed by John Carpenter, the plot hinges on the alien's mimicry and MacReady's flamethrower blood test; distractors are other creature features without the Antarctic isolation or test.
  2. B. Alien (1979) – Ridley Scott's film features the Nostromo crew's encounter and Ash's betrayal as a Company android; others lack the facehugger lifecycle or specific ship name.
  3. C. The Fly (1986) – David Cronenberg's remake stars Jeff Goldblum in the telepod mishap and mutation; sequels and others diverge on the fly-DNA fusion.
  4. B. Videodrome (1983) – Cronenberg's story involves Max Renn's cancerous VCR slot and Cathode Ray Mission; not a ghost story like Ring.
  5. A. Suspiria (1977) – Dario Argento's giallo centres on the Mater Suspiriorum coven and Suzy's confrontation; Black Swan lacks witches.
  6. B. The Evil Dead (1981) – Sam Raimi's cabin unleashes Deadites via the Book of the Dead; others miss the Necronomicon.
  7. B. Re-animator (1985) – Stuart Gordon's HPL adaptation features Herbert West's serum and Dr. Hill's head; not classic Universal Frankenstein.
  8. A. From Beyond (1986) – Another Gordon film with the pineal resonator and Dr. Crawford Tillinghast's transformation; distinct from pinhead demons.
  9. B. The Brood (1979) – Cronenberg's somatic externalisation via Nola's rage babies; not pregnancy horror like Rosemary's Baby.
  10. B. Prince of Darkness (1987) – Carpenter's Satan-in-green-liquid with Brian Marsh's possession and tachyon dreams; not bug monsters.
  11. A. In the Mouth of Madness (1994) – Carpenter's Sutter Cane drives insanity via books; Lovecraftian but not historical like From Hell.
  12. C. Event Horizon (1997) – Paul W.S. Anderson's hell portal ship with Dr. Weir's skinned captain vision; sci-fi not pure space zombies.
  13. B. The Descent (2005) – Neil Marshall's crawlers in the Crawl space; all-female cast key, unlike The Cave.
  14. A. [REC] (2007) – Jaume Balagueró's found-footage with Medeiros' possession origin; Spanish original precedes remake.
  15. B. Let the Right One In (2008) – Tomas Alfredson's vampire Eli with pool kill; snowy Sweden setting unique.
  16. A. The VVitch (2015) – Robert Eggers' Black Phillip dialogue and goat transformation; period-specific unlike modern Village.
  17. A. Hereditary (2018) – Ari Aster's Paimon cult with Charlie's whistle and Annie's self-decapitation; grief core distinct.
  18. A. Midsommar (2019) – Aster's daylight cult with Dani's May Queen bear sacrifice; Swedish not British woods.
  19. B. Dawn of the Dead (1978) – George A. Romero's mall satire with helicopter escape; consumerism theme absent in comedies.
  20. B. Possession (1981) – Andrzej Żuławski's Anna with the subway creature; divorce horror not alien seduction.
