Your job is to try and spot the real ones from the fake titles - If you think it's real shout "Fright", and if you think it's fake shout "Not Right"

Yes, it's the quiz called "Fright or "Not Right", because if I'd called it "Fright and Something else rude that rhymes and scans with Fright" I'd be taken off air!

Here we go

2) • Belgian Swingers Suck– NOT RIGHT

3) • Killer Condom – FRIGHT

4)• Psycho Cannibal Worms – NOT RIGHT

5) • Rabid Grannies – FRIGHT
