26/27. I think that spelling an owl's noise as "hoot" is subjective. I know I'm not alone in learning they make a "who" sound. They don't even have the ability to make a T sound because of the way their tongue works! I also understand that for the purpose of this quiz you need an "H" word, so please accept "hoo/hu".

Definitely. I have never in my life heard anyone say that owls go “hoot”. It’s always been “hoo” or “who”

There was a prominent ad campaign in the US during the 80's encouraging people not to litter. The commercial featured an owl and their slogan was "Give a hoot, don't pollute". Anyone growing up during that time remembers it well.

Look up "hoot owl". it is one of the names of a variety of owl. merriam-webster says it makes a "hooting sound".

Well its ment to be a quiz that everybody can answer so it would make sense to go the universally known sound for a owl (at least in english) for Hoot. Alot of animals ' universally known sounds learnt as children ' dont actually sound like the animal but they are easy to recognise for the animal so for the purpose of the quiz i felt that was uneccessary

The question has to be re-phrased to be accurate. It didn't stop me getting it right, though.

Owls hoot and dogs bark.

Horses whinny or neigh.

Cattle low.

It isn't the noise they make, it's the verb that denotes that they make a sound. It isn't the sound itself.

The sound itself is a subjective call of judgement. She might say 'hoo hoo' and some might say 'twit too' or 'wit too'.

Here's what the OED puts:

Hoot: 3a. intransitive. (To call out) Applied to the cry of some birds, spec. of the owl.

"Like some houses" Couldn't get that one. Even new it started with an H. Neighbor hood? Nope. Got all the others. IMO need better clue.

I know it's three years later but agreed. I tried hovel, hotel, home... All of those are to do with houses. That clue is too vague

It's a Halloween quiz. Why on earth would the answer be hovel, hotel or home when those things are completely unrelated to Halloween?

Seriously, if you can't think a little bit laterally about what might fit the theme and apply to houses (like 70% of people who did the quiz were happily able to do) then maybe try doing something else with your time instead of whinging to the person who put in the time and effort to create a decent quiz.

I had to type out the quote before getting that one - I tried crypt, mausoleum, grave, coffin, casket, then finally realized it began with a t and it was obvious. Had no idea about nosferatu, though.

Well yeah, (Washington) Irving works as well since it also starts with an 'i', but Crane's first name is Ichabod, not the author's.

In the original 1931 Frankenstein film this is true (in the book he had no assistant at all). Most subsequent Frankenstein-related films though, such as Son of Frankenstein and so on have a character named either Ygor or Igor, though. So this is one of those things that's entered the pop culture even though it's not strictly accurate, like the quote "Luke, I am your father" being attributed to Darth Vader when that's not actually what he said.

The catacombs should work for something that DID hold bodies, and by vault, maybe Egyptian tomb because they are full of riches.
