Halloween Game: Tim Burton Trivia + a Free Printable

?>

 

How well do you know Tim Burton? It was a question I asked myself early last fall as I put the finishing touches on my Tim Burton-themed Halloween party, and the answer sent me down an exciting path of creating my own trivia game for my guests to play.

Each year at Halloweenie Roast, I try to blend fun, non-cheesy activities with a chill Halloween hang-out session. Past activities have included: movie-watching; playing rounds of Loteria for money (Dia de los Muertos theme); and even being sorted into houses and playing a trivia game for the House Cup (Harry Potter theme)!

Since the Tim Burton theme was requested by my guests, I thought it’d be fun to put them to the test with another trivia game.

 

 

Today, I thought I’d put you to the test as well to see how well you know Mr. Burton and his films.

Plus, at the end of this post, you can download the trivia game and answers to see how well you did. Use it for your own Halloween party!
