Hello and welcome to a very quoting episode of The Slay Offs! Come play a game with your host Ben Ellt as they put returning guest host Rosie to the test in a game of quotes and attitude! In this game Ben has selected 30 horror movies and collected 3 quotes from each, Rosie will score 3 points on the first quote, 2 points on the second quote and then finally 1 point if the third quote is required, scoring 0 points if the correct movie is not guessed. This episode is really fun, I encourage you to try and play along and see if you can guess the horror movies before Rosie!
