A higher form of scary

Continuing the Halloween theme, this year our colleagues on the executive floor decided to step up to the challenge thrown down by IT. Their schtick was 22 rooms/occupants tricked out to look (to a greater or lesser extent) like horror films. Visitors to the floor got a list of 22 horror films, and we had to match the numbered room against a movie title to win a (low value) prize.

Their definition of horror was fairly loose, as witnessed by the titles:

2001: A Space Odyssey
Addams Family
Batman
Beetlejuice
Cheetah
Coraline
Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde
Harry Potter
IT
Jurassic Park
Sneak Preview: Justice League
Little Shop of Horrors
Lord of the Rings
Lumberjanes Sneak Preview
Monty Python’s Meaning of Life
Mummy Returns
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Stranger Things Special Showing
The Birds
The Day the Earth Stood Still
The Dolls
The Nightmare Before Christmas
The Ring
The Shining

And here are a few of the rooms:













I totally tanked, tbh, because I’ve actually seen seven of those movies, although I could guess a couple more just from having been alive for the past decade or so.

I will say that some of the motifs were very well executed. I wonder how people got all that stuff to the downtown DC office? I should think that schlepping it in via Metro would be a challenge.
