A Hair-Raising Hare Trivia Quiz

Answer: True

Harold is the oldest dog of the Monroe family. All of the main "Bunnicula" novels were narrated from Harold's point of view. The first book of the series, titled "Bunnicula: A Rabbit-Tale of Mystery", was published in 1979 and written by both Deborah and James Howe.

The rest of the "Bunnicula" books were only written by James, since Deborah sadly passed away nearly a year before the first book was published.

Answer: at a movie theater

Peter and Toby were the two young boys of the Monroe family. They found an abandoned rabbit at a local movie theater when they went to see a film about Count Dracula, the most famous vampire. They decided to keep the rabbit as a pet and named him Bunnicula. Bunnicula had two vampire-like fangs in his mouth and also had a design on his fur shaped like a cape.

Answer: Chester

Chester was an orange cat who lived with the Monroe family. Ever since the two boys brought Bunnicula home, Chester was afraid that the bunny was a vampire. The rabbit acted normally when the rest of the family was around. Chester would often come up with plans to try and get rid of the rabbit either by killing him or by setting him up so that the rest of Monroe family would witness the rabbit's true nature.

However, most of the time Chester wound up getting himself in trouble trying to expose Bunnicula.

Answer: All of the vegetables turned white

Soon after Bunnicula was brought home from the theater, all of the vegetables in the Monroe house started mysteriously turning white. Chester discovered that the white vegetables had two fang marks on them which led him to believe that Bunnicula was a vampire.

The Monroe family believed that the white vegetables were caused by a disease that infected their local supermarket. After Chester tried to starve Bunnicula, the Monroe family took Bunnicula to a vet, who recommended that the rabbit drink vegetable juice.

After that, the vegetables in the house stopped turning white.

Answer: garlic

Chester was obsessed with trying to expose Bunnicula and believed that the rabbit was a danger to the rest of the family. In the first novel, he would cover himself and Bunnicula's cage with garlic, a pungent vegetable that is said to be able to ward off vampires. Chester also tried to kill Bunnicula by trying to drive a stake into his heart.

However, Chester used a piece of steak (meat) rather than a wooden stake, which was ineffective and resulted in Chester being kicked out of the house.
