Stump The Saint — Horror News Radio’s weekly game show in which the listeners guide Thomas Mariani  to the trivia questions poised to stump Santos “The Black Saint” Ellin Jr. Despite his love of trivia, Santos is capable of being stumped on a weekly basis! As to where the audience comes in to Stump The Saint  it’s quite simple:

1. Look at the individual topic for that week
2. Comment — either in this post or in the comments of the posting on Facebook or Twitter — with a film title that relates to the topic for that individual week by the specified date
3. Thomas will take your suggested titles and find three of them that can be spun into trivia questions
4. Thomas will read three of your names on the air as he attempts to stump Santos
5. Those who enter a title with US addresses will be entered into a random drawing to win a special prize!

Topic for the Week

For HNR episode 211,  Stump the Saint  is taking one last ride. In honor of the totally horror-driven subject of  The Fate of the Furious, we want to see the inner gearhead of our genre fans. Give us your favorite Vehicle  Moment from a Horror or Genre Film. That right, we’re not limiting it to cars. Any vehicle  is up for grabs. Is it a scene involving a fantastical car crash? Somebody getting thrown into a garbage truck? Maybe even a truck just totally dismantling a person? Us at  Stump the Saint  want to hear it from all of you.

Of course, it could be something non-horror specific. Afterall, our subject features a submarine chasing after cars racing on a frozen lake of ice. The horizons are allows to expand a little. Sci-fi, action, thriller. As all of the vehicles do apply, all of the fringes apply as well.  Stump the Saint  welcomes all!

The Prize

Every month,  Stump The Saint  gives listeners with US addresses the potential to win a special prize. Those who have US addresses — which we’ll mainly try to find out  through publically available information on social media sites — will have at the very least a monthly opportunity to win in a random drawing. This month, we’ve got a special mystery prize DVD or Blu ray for you! The Black Saint himself has a vast array of titles in his massive collection and he’ll be willing to part with one just for you this month!  You’ll have until  April 17th  at 8:30 pm EST to submit your answer and be in contention to win one of five blu-rays/DVDs Santos is willing to part with at the end of the month!
