The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. (I really shouldn’t have to tell you this.) Much like my Friday the 13th movie trivia cache, you’ll have to answer some trivia questions on the Halloween series of movies.
For sake of simplicity, I’m only covering the first seven movies here and NOT "Resurrection" or the two remakes. You don’t need to have seen them all to solve this, but it will certainly help! Just match the number on the correct answer with the letters below.
