Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In what film do we first meet Angela Baker?

Answer: Sleepaway Camp

"Sleepaway Camp" is an American slasher/horror film franchise. The first film was released in 1983.

Felissa Rose who played Angela Baker went on to appear in many horror films over the years. Some of these titles include "Terrifier 2", "Rootwood" and "Hatchet 4".

The ending of the film has a very unique scene. Angela Baker is one of my all time favourite horror killers.
2. What fictional town is "A Nightmare On Elm Street" set in?

Answer: Springwood, Ohio

The parents of Elm Street in Springwood, Ohio banded together in order to rid Elm Street of Freddy Krueger. Wes Craven named Robert Englund's character Freddy after a bully who tormented him during his elementary days.

Some people think the jumper Freddy wears in black and red when in fact it is green and red.
3. In the film "Hellgate" a magic item can be used to bring the dead back to life. What is this item?

Answer: Magic crystal

Ron Palillo, who plays the character Matt, also played Allen Hawes in
"Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives". Ron Palillo stared in "Welcome Back, Kotter" which also stared John Travolta.

The magical blue crystal is found in the mine of the town Hellgate. The crystal is then used to bring back Josie, who was murdered at the start of the film.
4. In the film "Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge", which actor played Eric?

Answer: Derek Rydall

Don Siegel is Derek Rydall's uncle. Don Siegel was the director on the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".

"Chopping Mall" was also set at the mall featured in "Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge". The mall was an actual real life shopping mall and film producers were only allowed to film in the mall if no damage was actually made to any structures inside the mall.

In the '90s Derek appeared in an advert for OXY skincare products. Derek was also a writer on "Power Rangers Wild Force".
5. Which "Baywatch" actor appeared in "Killer Klowns from Outer Space"?

Answer: John Allen Nelson

Due to the sling rope snapping, the scene in which we witness the car being thrown off the cliff ended up being far less amazing than originally intended.

John Allen Nelson also played Paul the wine guy on "Friends". John has also appeared in the TV series "24", playing a character called Walt Cummings, and has also produced two films: "Angel of Desire" and "Shelter".
6. Who directed the film "Chopping Mall"?

Answer: Jim Wynorski

Jim Wynorski is best known for making B movies. He works under several pseudonyms and some of these names include H.R. Blueberry and Jay Andrews. He has made many spoof horror films such as "The Bare Wench Project".
7. Which "Baywatch" actress appeared in the film "Christine"?

Answer: Alexandra Paul

Alexandra started her career as a model. She has an identical twin sister named Caroline.

Alexandra's first major film role was playing Leigh Cabot in "Christine".
8. In the film "C.H.U.D.", what does C.H.U.D. stand for?

Answer: Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers

The C.H.U.D monsters were based on urban legends about creatures that apparently lived underground. The budget for "C.H.U.D." was 1.25 million USD. The film earned 4.7 million USD at the box office.
9. In "The Return of the Living Dead", which actress plays the role of Trash?

Answer: Linnea Quigley

Linnea Quigley went on to appear in several horror films such as "Night of the Demons" and "Graduation Day".

Linnea considered becoming a police officer bur decided to stick to acting. She did pass the written test but didn't take it any further.

Linnea's character in "The Return of the Living Dead" hadto put up with make up artists trying several experimental make up effects on her.
10. George Clooney appeared in "Return To Horror High". What was the name of his character?

Answer: Oliver

"Return To Horror High" has nothing at all to do with the film "Horror High".

"Return To Horror High" was George Clooney's first major film role. Oliver, the character portrayed by George Clooney, is the first person to be killed in the film.
