Night Of The Living Dead Trivia

1. As she fled from the cemetery zombie, Barbra crashed the car that she and Johnny had arrived in. What did she hit?

From Quiz "They're Coming to Quiz You Barbra!"

Answer: A tree

Barbra did not have the car keys but she was able to put the car into neutral and used gravity to make her escape. For some unstated reason, she was unable to keep the car on the road and swiped a tree on the left. One could surmise that since the car was not running, the lack of power steering made it difficult to control. The 1967 Pontiac LeMans actually belonged to producer Russ Streiner's mother and was involved in an accident prior to filming that scene. George Romero changed the script to include a colission to explain the dent. Russ also played the part of Johnny.

From Quiz "They're Coming to Get You, Barbara!" (1990)

Answer: Barbara's brother, Johnnie

Johnnie is just teasing his sister while they are going to visit the cemetery. Quite an unfortunate teasing, considering what is about to happen. This line is one of the most famous and recognised lines of horror movies of all time. In the original movie, the heroine's name was actually spelled "Barbra"; it was changed to "Barbara" for this remake. Like most of remakes (and I must say that usually I agree), this remake has been greatly panned, initially. While I love the original "Night of the Living Dead" movie, I must say I enjoy this remake as much.

From Quiz "They're Coming to Get You, Barbara!" (1990)

Answer: M. Celeste

The name is clearly visible several times during the movie, in a tag hung beside the front door. I have always been amused by the fact that it's named "M. Celeste", hinting at the mystery of the Mary Celeste, a ship found adrift, with no trace of its crew or passengers, while everything else was fine and in perfect order. The other options are all names of famous ships.

From Quiz Land of the Dead

Answer: Chollo

Foxy wanted to take the shot, but Chollo saves himself first. It is Kid who gets bitten and then shot about five minutes later. Foxy is mad because he wanted to take the shot. This scene shows the audience that Chollo can take care of himself and needs no one.

From Quiz George Romero's "Dead" Trilogy

Answer: They're coming to get you, Barbra.

And who comes to get Barbra in the end?

From Quiz "They're Coming to Quiz You Barbra!"

Answer: December

The calendar was shown while Ben and Barbra rummaged through the kitchen for useful items. The calendar showed the month of December, 1966. Earlier in the film, Johnny complained to Barbra that he had lost an hour sleep because of the time change. In the USA, clocks were set ahead one hour in the month of April. Perhaps this was a mere continuity error.

Answer: Ben

Barbara has frantically escaped from the cemetery and has arrived to a seemingly abandoned farmhouse. She is completely frightened and in shock when she finds a couple of zombies in there. Luckily, Ben arrives, in a pickup truck, and helps her recover and fight them. Unfortunately, he must inform her that he's almost run out of fuel.

From Quiz Land of the Dead

Just after talking to Chollo, Kaufman wipes his nose as he says this. This I suppose was added as part of a comic relief, and in honor of Romero who didn't call them zombies when "Night of the Living Dead" made its debut.

When Ben is carrying out the corpses of the zombies they killed in the house, Barbara hears the cellar door screeching and when it opens, she screams.

Ben asks them why didn't they help them when they heard Barbara scream. Harry Cooper says that they just heard some "banging around" and they thought it was caused by "those things". Tom admits they were just too scared to come out, instead.

From Quiz "They're Coming to Get You, Barbara!" (1990)

Answer: Helen Cooper and her daughter, Sarah

Harry Cooper's wife and daughter don't come out of the cellar, initially. We only hear Helen's voice asking her husband if everything's alright, and we can see her first when Ben has to go down the cellar looking for some solid wood. Helen seems to be nicer than her husband, but she is almost totally submissive to him. She will try for a while to do what she thinks is right, rebelling to her husband's controlling ways. Their daughter, Sarah, has been bitten. She is shown agonizing, trembling and feverish, laying on a table in the cellar. Uncle Rege is one of the couple of zombies killed by Barbara and Ben when they first get to the house. The zombie version of Mr. McGruder attacks them later on, and poor Johnnie dies at the cemetery at the beginning of the movie.
