Members of the RedEye staff play a movie mashup game and have their horror movie knowledge tested.

Norah Wulkopf: Hello and welcome to RedEye’s Movie Mashup Game. So basically what we are doing is we are taking two different movies, combining their plots to make a synopsis, and then reading the synopsis to members of the staff and then having them guess what the combined movie name is. So, for instance, the synopsis could be something like: The owner of the Bates Motel goes on a journey on Halloween night to reconnect with long lost family members. And, the answer would be Psycoco because it’s Psycho and Coco combined. We have 6 prompts and we are quizzing some of our staff members over their movie knowledge. Alrighty, Jacob Hamm say your name.

Jacob Hamm: I am Jacob Hamm. Should I say my position?

Wulkopf: Yeah, say your position.

Wulkopf: A specific Lord of the Rings movie.

Johnson: There’s a specific title for that one? I didn’t know that I thought they were just Lord of the Rings.

Wulkopf: Frodo Baggins must take on the role of Ringbearer.

Presnell: I feel like I should know this.

Wulkopf: Wait you don’t? I thought you would know that immediately. Oh my god.

Presnell: No cause I hear the name, and that name is like deep within my mind but I literally have no clue.

Hamm: I was so confident coming into this.

Wulkopf: He’s related to Bilbo Baggins. Smaug?

Presnell: What?

Wulkopf: Smaug?

Hamm: Benedict Cumberbatch as a dragon.

Wulkopf: Smaug? Legolas?
