Geocache Description:

Welcome to Ketchthor's fourth group of caches. This series follows the Skeleton Creek Bike Trail through Skeleton Waterholes Creek.

 


The creek originates near Mount Cottrell and passes through rural land before hitting the suburbs of Tarneit, Truganina, Hoppers Crossing, Altona Meadows and Point Cook before it flows into Port Phillip Bay. The creek fauna includes diverse bird species along with native rats and abundant frogs. All caches placed along this trail are off the land being conserved by the government. 

The names for the caches in the series appropriately take on a horror theme but the area is anything but. The trail is great for walking, cycling and observing Melbourne's vast array of wildlife.

Now to the cache. The GIVEN COORDINATES ARE FALSE so do not go to them (unless you want to go in the creek which I don't recommend). To solve the Horror Quiz Mystery and obtain the final coordinates, you will firstly have to answer the following questions:

A: What is the name of the electronics store Shaun works at in 'Shaun of the Dead'? B: A 1138 page 1986 horror novel by Stephen King is called what? C: Which Steven produced the 1982 film, 'Poltergeist'? D: How many 'Shaun of the Dead' films have been made? E: 'Halloween' primarily takes place in which US state? F: Name the radio station Glen listens to in 'A Nightmare On Elm Street'. G: James Cameron directed the sequel to which Ridley Scott film? H: Who is the killer in 'Friday the 13th'? (last name only) I: Ghostface's mask in 'Scream' is based on a painting by which famous artist? (last name only) J: Bob Giusti and Amy Hill were the cover artists of what book?

Now take the number of letters in EVERY answer and match them with this: S37 AB.CDE E144 FG.HIJ

Hopefully, you've solved the Horror Quiz Conundrum. If you want extra help or verification on your coordinates, feel free to send me a message through the message centre. Enjoy!
