Friday was another great night of trivia down at Neptune Coffee. A special thanks to the team from Wizards of the Coast who came out, played well and brought some excellent prizes to give away!

Next month’s Trivia Night will be done in association with a crew from Seattle’s premiere horror convention, Crypticon! We’ll be having questions related to the media guests who will be appearing at Crypticon this June. You’ll be seeing questions about Black Christmas, The Amityville Horror, Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth, Ghostbusters and more! If you think you know your horror movies, or if you’re just looking to hang out and have a good time for a couple of hours, come on down to Neptune on May 21!

If you couldn’t make it to the Trivia Night this month all the questions are under the fold. The winning team scored 38 out of a possible 50 points. How would YOU have done?
