UPDATE – The results have been tallied and the winners revealed. Taking the top two spots are women which only proves one thing – the Chick Flick is Dead. Thanks to all for participating. I hope you guys had fun. My next contest will launch in early December (December 7th to be precise) when I return with the 3rd installment of the perennial favorite – The Ho Ho Ho Throwdown – which focuses on holiday pop-culture (think National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Rudolph, The Waitresses, etc). ‘Til then, have a Happy Halloween.

Here it is – the final round. And once you finish these questions, you get to toss on your costume and head out into the night in search of purloined Pixie Sticks or whatever your confectionary poison might be (Circus Peanuts? – SHUDDER!!!)

Contestants have until 8:00 a.m. Wednesday October 28th to send me their answers. The answers should be sent via e-mail to theedzone@gmail.com.

As always, there is no cheating. You are on your honor – meaning you cannot hit up your wicked smart spouse or peruse the Internet in hopes of finding the solution to that which haunts you. Answer these off the top of your head and then send me your submission. After all, this is all in fun. No prize to be had aside from bragging rights.

To that end, I’ll post the results and updated leaderboard each Thursday.

May the best guy or ghoul win!!!
