The screamingly tricky scary movie quiz

With a new Halloween movie slaying the box office, let's test your horror know-how

This month marks 40 years since the release of the first Halloween movie - which made a star of Jamie Lee Curtis, as well as establishing masked killer Michael Myers as one of cinema's most enduring baddies.
