	I loved this poster, but I haven't been able to find a complete list of all the characters represented. But why let something like that come in the way of a great quiz? Between my son & I, we were able to identify all but 14 of the icons represented. The rest, I'm crowdsourcing. Hello, Crowd. I've given those to you free to start the game. But, if you recognize any of the characters that I didn't, please leave me a note in the comments giving the row number & I'll update the quiz. Together we might be able to make a complete list!

	Row 10 next to Freddy looks like Bruce Lee and row 1 on the right might be Brandon Lee from The Crow or Emily the Strange.

	rockgolf:	Feb 20th, 2012 at 04:34 GMT		1 point
	@Sarahbelle: Bruce Lee is possible. I'm less sure of Emily the Strange. The eye make-up in this quiz is pretty specific, and I'm sure I've seen it somewhere before. A Japanese horror film, or something.

	aurasuvi:	Feb 20th, 2012 at 07:14 GMT		1 point
	Yeah, I'm pretty convinced row 1 is Brandon Lee.

	aurasuvi:	Feb 20th, 2012 at 07:16 GMT		3 points
	By the way, you've misspelled Christmas in one answer. I was wondering why I couldn't get it right despite trying over and over again :D

	Maaian:	Feb 20th, 2012 at 10:05 GMT		2 points
	Isn't Row 1 on the right the girl from Ring?

	Nassim:	Feb 20th, 2012 at 13:10 GMT		2 points
	It's Sack Boy not Sock Boy And I'm pretty sure it's Captain Harlock, not Snake Plissken (the straight line under the patch must be his scar)

	Evil_75:	Feb 20th, 2012 at 14:02 GMT		1 point
	I'd hazard a guess that #1 in row 14 is He-Man. Or possibly Prince Adam.

	rockgolf:	Feb 20th, 2012 at 16:29 GMT		1 point
	@aurasuvi: Christmas corrected, thanks. @Nassim: Sack Boy now fixed too. And I'm convinced you're correct about Captain Harlock.Thanks.

	JulieD:	Feb 20th, 2012 at 17:37 GMT		2 points
	Row 1, all the way to the right looks like Ozzy Osbourne to me. It's true that the leftmost one in row 7 is Jason, but that's from Friday the 13th, not Halloween.

	rockgolf:	Feb 20th, 2012 at 18:58 GMT		1 point
	@JulieD: Thanks, I've updated Jason.

	FearTheManatee:	Feb 20th, 2012 at 23:07 GMT		2 points
	Here's at least what came to mind: Row 1 #8: James Dean? Row 1 #9: Thought Ozzy as well, though not convinced. Row 3 #9: Pretty sure it's Janis Joplin. Row 4 #11: Casper? Row 8 #12: Darth Vader/Grim Reaper? Row 10 #6: Rambo. For the rest I have no clue whatsoever.

	rockgolf:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 00:41 GMT		1 point
	@Fear: Row 1 #8 - Can't say I've seen James Dean with sunglasses. That Row 1 #9 seems to be split between Ozzy & the Crow, but I'm not convinced it's either. Rw 3 #9 - Janis looks like a good possibility. Row 4 #11 - YES! That makes a lot of sense. Row 8 #12 - Darth is already on there, and the Reaper seems a big stretch. Row 10 #6 - Yeah, that fits perfectly. The artist is French, so some of these may only be familiar there.

	MRL:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 01:15 GMT		1 point
	Row 1, all the way to the right looks like Alice Cooper to me. Hard to say, though. If it were the four-point-star pattern he sometimes uses I'd be certain, but with the lines it may or may not be. Unfortunately "long black hair with black eye makeup" isn't as distinctive as one might think. I agree with FearTheManatee about Rambo and Janis. Those were my guesses as well.

	rockgolf:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 01:51 GMT		1 point
	I found a Facebook discussion on the page where the artist himself told us who the last character was. Suffice it to say, I wouldn't have guessed.

	wqlk3:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 02:46 GMT		0 points
	Brilliant quiz, and btw, Pokemon's name is Pikachu:P

	AlexRandom:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 03:03 GMT		1 point
	Row 1, #8: Elvis?

	hcone76:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 03:18 GMT		1 point
	I would guess that the last one on row #1 is from the crow, too, but seems to be some disagreement on that point.

	Jellybrother:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 08:31 GMT		2 points
	Row 2 #7 is most certainly Space Adventure Cobra; Cobra, his android Lady Armaroid and... his arch enemy Crystal Boy (who is actually golden) I guess.

	rockgolf:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 11:34 GMT		1 point
	@Jellybrother: Bingo! That's absolutely it. Thanks a million.

	Ironstamp:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 17:03 GMT		2 points
	Typo in row 12: Cuckoo's Nest character is McMurphy :)

	rockgolf:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 17:16 GMT		1 point
	@Ironstmp: Thanks. Now fixed.

	pete32782:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 22:20 GMT		1 point
	Please accept just Casper. Also it's not accepting The Blues Brothers.

	rockgolf:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 23:58 GMT		1 point
	@pete: I meant to do both those but had "caspar" and "blues brother" as alternates. They've been fixed.

	pianoshootist:	Feb 22nd, 2012 at 01:50 GMT		1 point
	Row 14 #1 says Luke Skywalker to me. See this picture -- http://throwbacktweets.com/admin/uploads/1303605733luke_skywalker.jpeg. Row 12 #5 could be the In-Betweener, if that's not too obscure.

	rockgolf:	Feb 22nd, 2012 at 02:58 GMT		1 point
	@pianoshootist: As you might guess by my Ditko-sourced avatar, I actually recognize the In-Betweener, but yeah, that's pretty obscure. I'm leaning towards Silver Surfer, since he's represented in other works by Guillemin. I've e-mailed Guillemin directly, so hopefully this will be resolved soon.

	Fidelio:	Feb 22nd, 2012 at 15:33 GMT		2 points
	@Pianoshootist - I also thought the first character in Row 14 was Luke Skywalker. But now I'm thinking it isn't him - wouldn't he be included with the other Star Wars heros in row 5?

	jmfield:	Feb 22nd, 2012 at 18:58 GMT		2 points
	The X-Men look to me to be: Wolverine, Cyclops, Prof. X, Storm, and Beast (Mystique has red hair)

	rockgolf:	Feb 22nd, 2012 at 19:33 GMT		1 point
	@jmfield: Yeah, you're probably correct on the Beast. Storm would make sense, except she shown as Caucasian. It could be the White Queen, but that doesn't quite match either.

	rockgolf:	Feb 22nd, 2012 at 19:48 GMT		2 points
	Great news! I just got an e-mail from the artist himself, Grégoire Guillemin, identifying the remaining 6 icons! So I've updated the quiz with 5 of them. One, I'm going to leave as a "gimme" since you would have to be psychic to get it. Merci beaucoup, Léon!

	oren0:	Feb 22nd, 2012 at 21:34 GMT		1 point
	Very cool quiz. I wonder, though, if it would benefit from a split into two or even more quizzes. I opened the picture on a second monitor and it still required scrolling between answer entry and the clues.

	oren0:	Feb 22nd, 2012 at 21:35 GMT		1 point
	Also, the answers "matrix" and "ninja turtles" should be accepted.

	rockgolf:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 04:49 GMT		1 point
	@Oren0: Sorry, I had "matix" instead of matrix as an alternate. TMNT is accepted but I don't know about just "Ninja Turtles" by itself.

	MRL:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 07:34 GMT		1 point
	"Ninja Turtles" is a pretty common shorthand for the series; I'd allow it, personally.

	This quiz can serve as the example of why I love Sporcle.
