Who is this actress? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. You would have thought being a vampire slayer and having more than a passing familiarity with graveyards would mean you had no fear of the dead, however the actress who played the character Buffy Summers in the TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" turned out to be necrophobic. Who is she? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. This "Twilight" actress had no fear of vampires or werewolves, but had to overcome her fear of horses for her part as Snow White in the 2012 film "Snow White and the Huntsman". Who is she? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. This American-Canadian actor of the "Matrix" trilogy has been known for his fear of the dark. That didn't prevent him from appearing in the 1992 "Bram Stoker's Dracula" and encountering perhaps the most famous of all vampires. Who is this actor? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. We are looking for an aquaphobic American actress who used to appear in the TV series "Baywatch" despite her proclaimed fear of water. Who is she? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. This man wrote the "Spider's Web" song sung by Katie Melua, contributed the song "Good Foot" to the 2004 film "Shark Tale", and acted in the 2006 film "Black Snake Moan". The link between all three is that this former 'N Sync band member confessed to his fear of spiders, sharks and snakes. Who is he?
Hint


Question 7 of 10

Who is he? Well, he played Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings" series, which featured very pig-like orcs. He also appeared in three of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films. Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. You would have thought that arachnophobia would put you off having anything to do with spiders, however this American actress appeared in the "Spider-Man" trilogy as Spider-Man's love interest. Who is she? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. Appearing in the TV series "Star Trek: The Next Generation", flying should not be a problem for this actress but it is. Does she go "The Color Purple" or like a "Ghost" when flying is mentioned? Perhaps she is like "Jumpin' Jack Flash"? Who is this person? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. This singer is used to "Causing a Commotion" - in fact that's her business: making music. However she reputedly can't "Keep It Together" and gets "Deeper and Deeper" into fear when there is any thunder and lightning about as she suffers from brontophobia. "Rescue Me" or "Turn Up the Radio" might be something she would say with the onset of thunder. "Rain" will see her disappear inside. Which "Evita" (1996) film star sings these songs? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This actress featured in some Quentin Tarantino classics including "Pulp Fiction" (1994) and the "Kill Bill" films. In "Kill Bill: Vol. 2" (2004) she ended up buried alive in a coffin at one point, forcing her to face her self-proclaimed real life claustrophobia - in other words a fear of enclosed spaces. Who is this actress?

Answer: Uma Thurman

Being buried in a coffin under several feet of Earth would seem to count as an enclosed space, although the film-making process can be deceptive. American actress Uma Thurman started off in 1987 with modelling before she got first film role. The Oscar-winning "Dangerous Liaisons" was one of three 1988 films she appeared in. The success of the "Kill Bill" films saw her demand as a model resurface. Fashion house Louis Vuitton and cosmetics company Lancôme have both employed her.

2. You would have thought being a vampire slayer and having more than a passing familiarity with graveyards would mean you had no fear of the dead, however the actress who played the character Buffy Summers in the TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" turned out to be necrophobic. Who is she?

Answer: Sarah-Michelle Gellar

Necrophobia is the fear of the dead and things associated with the dead, such as tombstones. American actress Sarah Michelle Gellar's phobia means that she reportedly has refused to film in graveyards. Despite her phobia, she still managed to act in the 1997 horror films "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Scream 2". (Source for phobia: zimbio.com)

Kristy Swanson played Buffy Summers in the 1992 film "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" but not in the TV series. The other two have had roles as vampires.
3. This "Twilight" actress had no fear of vampires or werewolves, but had to overcome her fear of horses for her part as Snow White in the 2012 film "Snow White and the Huntsman". Who is she?

Answer: Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart's phobia is reported to stem from a childhood accident where she broke several bones falling off a horse. She wanted the role of Snow White so much that she conquered her fear. Fear of horses is known as equinophobia or hippophobia.

(Source for Kristen's phobia: XFINITY by Comcast)

The other actresses all had parts in the 2008 film "Twilight".
4. This American-Canadian actor of the "Matrix" trilogy has been known for his fear of the dark. That didn't prevent him from appearing in the 1992 "Bram Stoker's Dracula" and encountering perhaps the most famous of all vampires. Who is this actor?

Answer: Keanu Reeves

Reeves was born in Lebanon and spent his childhood in a number of countries before his mother settled in Canada. His film career started in the 1980s, and it was probably his role in the 1989 "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" that first caught people's attention. In the 1992 film "Bram Stoker's Dracula" he played John Harker, a lawyer who is employed by Dracula but ends up having a hand in destroying the vampire. Plenty of night-time action there.

Fear of the dark is a fairly general term; it may not actually be the dark causing the fear but some danger hidden by the darkness. Any one of four phobia labels (achluophobia, nyctophobia, scotophobia, or lygophobia) could be applied to it. (Source for phobia: zimbio.com)

The other actors listed appeared in one or more of the "Matrix" trilogy as well.
5. We are looking for an aquaphobic American actress who used to appear in the TV series "Baywatch" despite her proclaimed fear of water. Who is she?

Answer: Carmen Electra

Actress, model, singer, dancer and one-time "Baywatch" cast member, Tara Leigh Patrick (with a stage name of Carmen Electra) has stated that she's aquaphobic - or she feared water. She is sometimes referred to as hydrophobic, however this is a term linked to rabies. In Carmen's case, the aquaphobia is said to stem from never having learned to swim. It seems in "Baywatch" that the ability to swim was not a major requirement for lifeguards. (Source for phobia: stylist.co.uk)

The other options were also cast members of the original "Baywatch" TV series, which ran from 1989 to 1999. "Baywatch Hawaii", a re-hash of the TV series based in Hawaii, ran from 1999 to 2001. Carmen Electra appeared in "Baywatch" from 1997 to 1998.
6. This man wrote the "Spider's Web" song sung by Katie Melua, contributed the song "Good Foot" to the 2004 film "Shark Tale", and acted in the 2006 film "Black Snake Moan". The link between all three is that this former 'N Sync band member confessed to his fear of spiders, sharks and snakes. Who is he?

Answer: Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake started off in TV shows such as "The Mickey Mouse Club" before becoming the lead singer of the boy band 'N Sync in 1995. Timberlake's desire to focus on his solo career is reportedly one of the reasons behind the band's break-up. He has been reported as saying his phobias include a fear of being knocked unconscious by stuffed animals thrown on stage by fans. There probably is not a formal "phobia" name for that. (Source for phobias: celebrities-with-diseases.com)

The others listed were all 'N Sync band members.
7. It is pigs this time. This actor reportedly ran off the set during the filming of "Kingdom of Heaven" (2005) because a pig got loose. Why? He reportedly suffered from swinophobia, or fear of pigs. Who is he? Well, he played Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings" series, which featured very pig-like orcs. He also appeared in three of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films.

Answer: Orlando Bloom

Orlando Bloom is a British actor born in 1977. His role as Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings" films was his breakthrough role, and was followed up with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise with Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley, and "Troy" opposite Brad Pitt. Other films in which he has starred include "Elzabethtown" (2005) along side Kirsten Dunst and "The Three Musketeers" (2011).

8. You would have thought that arachnophobia would put you off having anything to do with spiders, however this American actress appeared in the "Spider-Man" trilogy as Spider-Man's love interest. Who is she?

Answer: Kirsten Dunst

Kirsten Dunst, born in 1982, is an American actress whose career started at the age of three. She appeared as a child vampire in "Interview with a Vampire" (1994), starring alongside Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Other notable films include "Little Women" (1994), "Jumanji" (1995), the "Spider-Man" trilogy (2002-2007) and "Melancholia" (2011). (Source for phobia: teenhollywood.com)

Of the others, Rosemary Harris appears as May Parker in the "Spider-Man" trilogy, Sally Field also plays May Parker but in the two "The Amazing Spider-Man" films, and Shailene Woodley is the Mary Jane Watson character in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2".
9. Appearing in the TV series "Star Trek: The Next Generation", flying should not be a problem for this actress but it is. Does she go "The Color Purple" or like a "Ghost" when flying is mentioned? Perhaps she is like "Jumpin' Jack Flash"? Who is this person?

Answer: Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi Goldberg's fear of flying reportedly goes back to a 1978 mid-air collision she witnessed. Her aviophobia meant that she travelled around the USA in a luxury bus and sailed on the QE2 liner when travelling to the UK. In 1989 she tackled her fear through Virgin Atlantic's 'Flying without Fear' course and was able to fly as a result. "The Color Purple" (1985), "Ghost" (1990) and "Jumpin' Jack Flash" (1986) are all films she has appeared in. (Source for phobia: zimbio.com)
10. This singer is used to "Causing a Commotion" - in fact that's her business: making music. However she reputedly can't "Keep It Together" and gets "Deeper and Deeper" into fear when there is any thunder and lightning about as she suffers from brontophobia. "Rescue Me" or "Turn Up the Radio" might be something she would say with the onset of thunder. "Rain" will see her disappear inside. Which "Evita" (1996) film star sings these songs?

Answer: Madonna

American singer Madonna started off as a dancer before moving into singing. She has been hugely influential and has been involved in a wide range of the arts including theatre acting, film acting, song writing, directing, producing, and writing children's books.

The songs in the question are all Madonna's, although not her best-known hits. Brontophobia is relatively common. There are a number of other names for the condition such as astraphobia, keraunophobia and tonitrophobia. (Source for phobia: virginmedia.com)
