Tons of great Halloween trivia questions with easy questions for kids and more challenging options for adults! Whether you’re looking for a Halloween trivia game, questions to ask your classroom, or even just fun Halloween questions to ask yourself – you’ll find them here!
With Halloween just around the corner and Halloween movies playing every night of the month, I thought it was time to finally put together the Halloween trivia game I’ve been meaning to create for years!
I’ve designed a printable set of Halloween trivia questions that you can use as one of many Halloween games at a Halloween party or just to ask to friends and family during the month of October!
There are two sets of questions including easier ones that work better for kids (or non-Halloween fans) and one that has questions more challenging for adults!
The printable game includes 25 easy questions and 25 more challenging questions. I just did 25 so that I could include them all on one sheet.
This post, however, includes all sorts of other Halloween trivia questions as well! So keep reading if you’re a Halloween buff and want to figure out how much you know (or don’t know).
If you want the free printable Halloween trivia game, you can get the free printable all the way at the bottom!
What Kind of Halloween Trivia
These Halloween trivia questions include all sorts of random Halloween facts and figures – movies, songs, history, and more! I’ve tried to include a variety without any bias toward my favorite movies or monsters!
I actually just grab the list of these Halloween pictionary words and started coming up with all sorts of fun questions I could ask about them. And then I just kept going and going.
I love Halloween and trivia, and it was a blast putting this all together after looking up interesting facts, the history of Halloween, and other random Halloween knowledge that people have shared out there!
If you’re looking for more Halloween song trivia, make sure to try out this Halloween song game!
Halloween Trivia Game
Unlike my other trivia games, that include a set of trivia cards and a one page sheet, I decided to just create the one page trivia quiz for these Halloween trivia questions and answers. If you’re really interested in the cards, feel free to email me or comment on this post, and I’ll see what I can do!
Trivia Game Prep
I recommend printing out one copy for each player or if you’d rather just read the questions and have people answer on a sheet of paper, make sure that everyone has a piece of paper and pen.
Then also make sure that you have a Halloween themed prize for the winner or you could do small prizes per question if you”re going to have people answer these individually.
How to Play
There are so many different ways you can use This Halloween trivia game. You can put them on tables around the room and let people answer them at their leisure.
You could hand them all out at once, give people a time limit, then go over the answers together after.
You could hold onto the sheets, give people blank pieces of paper, and have people answer one at a time as you read the questions out loud.
Or you could even just grab a list of questions and tell one question out to the crowd and have the first person to answer get a prize.
Or you could use them for a team trivia activity. Split into teams, ask a question, and have the teams answer it together just like a team trivia night.
It’s up to you – but there are plenty of fun trivia questions and answers for adults (and kids) so you could even do a variety of each!
Full list of Halloween Trivia Questions
If you don’t want to print these out and are just looking for ways to see how great your Star Wars trivia knowledge is, here are all of the questions!
I’ve broken it out into easy and difficulty questions but don’t worry if you don’t know some of the easy ones – they can be tough! Good luck!
