Thematic Supernatural Trivia Questions

1. Entertainment - The Iron Dragon is a suspended roller coaster that debuted in 1987 at what amusement park situated on a tiny peninsula in northern Ohio?

From Quiz
Famous Dragons

Answer: Cedar Point

One of the oldest suspended roller coasters currently in operation, the Iron Dragon was built by Arrow Dynamics who constructed a number of similar suspended coasters through the late 1980s and 1990s. These early suspended coasters placed riders into cars that were suspended from the tracks with a hinge that allowed the cars to swing from side to side.

2. The population of the Tasmanian devil dropped dramatically in the 1990s because of a cancer that effects what part of their body?

From Quiz A Devil May Care Attitude

Answer: Face

The cancer is called devil facial tumour disease and it was first discovered in 1996. This cancer presents itself in the form of large tumors on the mouth of the animal that spread to other areas of its face and, in some areas of Australia, had a 100% mortality rate within a year. The tumors essentially eat away at the bone, preventing feeding and breathing. In the twenty years following the disease's discovery, nearly 95% of the population of Tasmanian devils died.

3. In which 1980s television series were the protagonists employed by the "Phoenix Foundation"?

From Quiz Zooming in on the Phoenix

Answer: MacGyver

"In ancient mythology the Phoenix rose from the ashes, stronger than it ever was." - MacGyver "The Rising" "MacGyver" (1985-1992) was an action-adventure series starring Richard Dean Anderson as the very resourceful title character, Angus MacGyver, a trouble-shooter for the Phoenix Foundation in Los Angeles. Formerly the Department of External Services, the Phoenix Foundation's mission was to defend US interests at home and abroad. The TV series spawned two television movies and was rebooted in 2016. In "Knight Rider" (1982-1986), Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) is a crime fighter working for FLAG (the Foundation for Law and Government), assisted by a high-tech Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with artificial intelligence, known as KITT: The Knight Industries Two Thousand. In 2016, a Knight Rider reboot was announced. "Magnum P.I." (1980-1988) starred Tom Selleck as Thomas Magnum, a Private Investigator living and working on Oahu, Hawaii. He resided in a guesthouse on the estate of unseen author Robin Masters, but apparently works for himself--when he feels like it. The series was rebooted in 2018. "The A-Team" (1983-1987) followed four ex-soldiers from a US Army Special Forces unit. The four are Hannibal Smith (George Peppard), Templeton Peck (Dirk Benedict), "Howling Mad" Murdock (Dwight Schultz) and "B. A." (Bad Attitude) Baracus (Mr. T). Working for themselves as soldiers of fortune, the team brings a mix of skills to help others solve problems while also avoiding capture by the US Army. The series spawned a 2010 feature film of the same name starring Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper. Old-age-pensioner psnz wishes that he could reboot himself and wonders whether Phoenix Rising is somewhere that this might happen.

4. The Dragon School is a renowned preparatory school with a reputation for producing pupils who go on to England's major public schools, but in which English city is the Dragon School located?

From Quiz Enter the Dragon

Answer: Oxford

The Dragon School was originally founded in 1877 by a group of Oxford dons who, in honour of St George, titled themselves as "the Dragons". The school was originally named as simply the Oxford Preparatory School - a preparatory school, also known as a "prep school", is an independent primary school for children up to the age of 13 whose task is to prepare children to undertake a Common Entrance Examination for entry into an independent secondary school (such as Eton, Harrow or Winchester). In 1886, Charles Cotterill Lynam became headmaster, a position he retained for nearly 40 years, with his family for many years responsible for the running of the school. Although it became Lynam's during the period of the Lynam family's stewardship, over time the name of the original group of founders was adopted as the name of the school itself. Notable former pupils of the Dragon include poet laureate Sir John Betjeman, Sir John Mortimer QC, and Nobel laureates Sir Tim Hunt (Physiology or Medicine) and Sir John Kendrew (Chemistry).

5. In which play does the audience hear three witches reciting, "Double, double, toil and trouble; fire burn, and cauldron bubble"?

From Quiz Which Witch Is Which?

Answer: Macbeth

The witches (or "weird sisters") appear in only a few scenes in "Macbeth". They are, however, critical to the play because they provide the impetus for Macbeth to seek the crown and the illusions that he is safe. Ironically, Macbeth says of them, "And damn'd be all those that trust them!" He trusted them, and he ended up damned.

6. Animals: Dolphins are believed to be one of the smartest animals on earth. They have a system of clicking and whistling noises that are used for what?

From Quiz The Psychic Type

Answer: Naming other dolphins

Dolphins are one of the few animals who have complex naming systems akin to humans. Dolphins are also extremely creative animals who have learned to adapt to their environment in many different ways, including using sponges to protect their noses when digging on the ocean floor.

7. According to the 1979 song by the Charlie Daniels Band, the Devil went down to which state?

From Quiz What the Devil is That?

Answer: Georgia

The song was released on the Charlie Daniels Band's tenth album 'Million Mile Reflections' and shortly afterwards as a single. It tells the story of a boy called Johnny and his fiddle-playing contest with the Devil, who is in Georgia 'looking for a soul to steal'. Johnny outplays the Devil, wins a golden fiddle and, according to their deal, most importantly keeps his soul. It was a huge hit for the band and made it into several charts including number one in the US and Canadian country charts.

8. It was at Pittsburgh's Forbes Field on Thursday, October 13, 1960. Bill Mazeroski was the magician. What was his magic wand?

From Quiz This Magic Moment

Answer: a baseball bat

Mazeroski led off the bottom of the ninth inning in the seventh game of the 1960 World Series between his Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Yankees by hitting a home run over the left field fence to win the game and the series, 10-9. It was the first time a Series title was won with a walk-off homer. For the seven games, the Yankees outscored the Pirates in total runs, 49-33. Afterward, Mickey Mantle said it was the only time in his life he wept real tears after a loss.

9. Accusations of witchcraft were unjustly spread against which of Henry VIII's wives in order to justify divorce proceedings?

From Quiz Witchy Woman

Answer: Anne Boleyn

Anne Boleyn was rumored to have a sixth finger on one hand and a large dark birthmark on her neck. She was said to wear high collars and very long sleeves in an attempt to cover up her imperfections. The idea that she might be a witch was just one of the many reasons cooked up by the King's advisors who were trying to placate their ruler. This all came about because Anne did not produce the much longed-for son and heir for Henry. In the end Anne was beheaded and replaced with Jane Seymour who died producing Henry's only male heir. This was just one of the many examples where accusations of witchery were used for political gain. There are no portraits of Anne with showing a birthmark on her neck, nor showing a sixth finger. These are very unlikely, as is the idea that Anne Boleyn had anything to do with witchcraft.

10. "Roll up, roll up for the mystery tour". Who wrote the lyrics for "Magical Mystery Tour" (1967) by the Beatles?

From Quiz Magical Mystery Touring

Answer: Paul McCartney and John Lennon

"Magical Mystery Tour" was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. It was produced by George Martin in 1967. The album, released by Capital Records in the USA, included a six-song soundtrack for the 1967 film called "Magical Mystery Tour" along with five singles from 1967. The UK didn't release the eleven-track LP until 1976, but had indeed released the six-track EP on the Parlophone label in 1967.

11. The aliens start us off with a near heart attack in the fields! When Elliot first saw an alien in the fields, both he and the alien screamed. What is this little alien's name?

From Quiz Monsters Vs Aliens

Answer: E.T.

"E.T." was released in 1982. The little alien first scared Elliot in the fields, and Elliot likewise scared ET as well. However, they eventually became close friends, and Elliot was sad when ET finally "phoned home".

12. "Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee..." was a chart-topper in 1963. Which trio took the song to the top?

From Quiz Puff The Magic Dragon

Answer: Peter Paul and Mary

The song was written by Leonard Lipton and Peter Yarrow, the Peter part of PP&M. It was Number 2 in the Billboard Charts in 1962, and topped the US "Easy Listening" charts the following year. Conspiracy theorists insisted that some of the lyrics referred to drugs use.

13. ANIMALS: A werewolf is a human who, in certain circumstances, turns into a wolf. What is the scientific name for the Gray Wolf?

From Quiz Werewolves!

Answer: Canis lupus

Gray wolves (or just plain wolves) are the largest members of the family Canidae, and are generally the highest-ranking predator in any particular area (barring, of course, Homo sapiens). The heaviest wolves have reached 170 pounds in weight (79 kg), and they share an ancestry with domestic dogs. Canis adustus is a jackal, Canis latrans is a coyote and Australopithecus afarensis is an extinct hominid.

14. ANIMALS DRAGON QUESTION: The Komodo dragon, the world's largest lizard, lives where?

From Quiz Dragons!

Answer: Indonesia

The dragon can be found on the islands Komodo, Rinca, Flores, and Gili Motang, all of which are in Indonesia. The creatures are scavengers, but they will attack, kill and eat anything they can catch--and they've been known to dig up human corpses and consume them as well. The lizard has a septic bite (though debate rages as to whether this is some kind of venom or just basic filthiness).

15. Animals Aliens Question: Popularly attributed to alien activity, what seemed to be an epidemic in the '70s, stretching from Montana to Texas, with 130 instances happening in Colorado alone?

From Quiz Aliens!

Answer: Cattle mutilations

In a 'usual' case, a cow has its eyes and genitalia removed with what looks like surgical precision, its interior organs dissolved or removed, most blood drained and strange holes in the earth nearby. Popular explanations include: Satanists, PTSD Vietnam veterans snapping, government experimentation and, of course, aliens with their probes. Most experts, though, have come up with perfectly natural explanations for the dead cattle.

16. The first song from their debut album, who sang the hit rock song "Runnin' With the Devil"?

From Quiz Sympathy for the Devil

Answer: Van Halen

First released by the hard rock band in 1978, "Runnin' With the Devil" became the band's second single (after "You Really Got Me"). One of five released singles from the album, it was also released on their first Greatest Hits album in the nineties. The song is one of the band's many trademark songs and it was originally performed by David Lee Roth when he was still a member of the band. Although not as popular as "You Really Got Me", the song still appeared on the Billboard Charts and the album hit Diamond status in the 1990s, becoming one of the most successful hard rock albums ever released.

17. ANIMALS: We all know about vampire bats, those little blood-eaters that are native to the Americas. But how fast they can RUN?

From Quiz Vampires!

Picard is shown many years later admiring the Phoenix when it is an exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution.
