Player Comments on Monster Trivia
It's an *okay* trivia game. There are some issues however.
For one, the HTML used on the starting page (where you're reading this) is really not needed. It hides buttons for no real reason and does not at all fit with the site. Either actually take the effort to make it look good, or don't do it at all.
That being said, the styling used in game is fairly simple, good and makes things stand out.
As for the questions, you're probably going to lose interest if you're not into horror. They're fairly mundane questions, most of which reuse answers and become repetitive as a result.
The most glaring issue for me is the lack of a clear answer on some questions. Example, "which of the following is not considered a part of the living". Two of the answers available are daemon, and ghost.
Maybe this is just me, but I wouldn't consider either of those to be a part of the living.
Then there's the confusing and ambiguous "this entity can kill by biting or scratching" questions, which happen multiple times, and include answers like zombies, wear wolves or vampires at the same time. It should be clear to the knowledgeable person what the answer is, and on these questions I didn't feel there was a clear answer (and I don't believe blaming the reader is a constructive way of rebutting that).
To conclude, it's a fairly mundane but casual quiz with horror themes. For some it may be a bit too long, but I felt the length was okay. The scoring system could have been more in-depth, but it's there. Worth a try if you're board and looking for a horror quiz to do. 'Tis the season afterall.
p.s, I've totally forgot if I need to use HTML here, so if this is all one paragraph, totally not my fault (it is)

An excellent quiz and one of the better ones I've read on the site :)
I liked the various different and interesting questions, though in a few cases it seemed there might be more than one answer to a question (such as "which creature can transform you into one of it's own kind with a single bite or scratch" I would have said Werewolf and Vampire though I may be wrong about the vampire).
Overall this was interesting, grammar perfect and showed excellent scripting and variable skills. You obviously put a lot of time and effort into turning out this great quiz :D

meh. I got 6 wrong. I'm a mythology nerd so the things I got wrong were definitely the horror questions

Would've been much better if more description was used (even if for fewer questions). A lot of the questions also discussed non-"monster" topics, which is the point of the quiz.

Of course, I'm a zombie killer. I've got that super saiyan swagger.
Overall, nice quiz, Breezy. But I agree with Senpen and James, a few questions seemed to have two answers that could have been acceptable, depending on source material.

It was... Odd. I'm not sure there's a specific shadow demon in folklore with a specific goal, the greek gods section was kind of a turn from the theme, pretty much all the killers from question 11 were reincarnated at one point, Ghosts and Demons may or may not be both considered undead, Ghouls are a gray area because it was more or less agreed upon by people back then that ghouls were just graverobbers, but there was no real folkloric consensus on what they were or what was up with them... I can tell that most of it was definitely well-researched, but once in a great while it throws a curveball at you that either feels like personal canon or like it came from a very obscure source.

Very well made quiz, though I felt some of the questions in part 3 could have referred to more than one of the monsters listed.

I'm only about half conscious, but this was an amazingly in-depth quiz and I enjoyed it. I was tempted to look up a few things because you asked about some stuff I simply had not heard before, but I refused to cheat, lol.
I do have one complaint, though. Question 39 asks what creature is half snake and half woman, but Gorgons only had snakes for their hair. (And the answer is clearly not a hydra, basilisk, or Medusa, who is also a gorgon...) A half-snake, half-woman is actually called a lamia. (Or naga.)
That aside, it's hilarious that for "What black hooded creature carries a scythe?" you let us answer "Santa Claus." (And it was fun to see the inclusion of two of my favorite female monsters, hehe.)

Well, this was great fun. Very entertaining, although I'm disappointed with how little I know about horror stuff. None the less, well done.

This was a great quiz. But I was really hoping for at least one question about the Succubus.
