Question 1 of 10
1. You pull open the massive door of the mansion and step inside. A sudden gust of wind slams the door shut. Concerned that the noise might have alerted those assembled dark ones, and not yet positive that the Cloak will actually make you invisible, you sing quietly to yourself "Hold your head up high, And don't be afraid of the dark", words which come from which of your favorite musicals? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. When nobody seems to notice your presence, you move toward sounds coming from behind a nearby door. The door opens quietly, and you see a room filled with television sets, around each of which are very comfortable chairs and sofas, nearly all of which are occupied. A banner across the ceiling announces an all-night marathon showing of which American Gothic soap opera that featured the vampire Barnabas Collins? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. After watching one episode of the television show, you slip through a side door into an arcade of video games. Most of the games, which seem to all have "dark" in their titles, are being played, and you notice that nearly all of them were once well-received, except which one? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. As you prepare to leave the arcade, you hear a background song by Cher that was a Billboard Top Pop 40 Number One hit. You recall that its title was what? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. As you slip through a sliding door, you glance at your watch and see that it is 12:45 AM. A bolt of lightning reveals that you have entered a lecture hall with a movie screen behind the podium. The signs flanking the stage indicate that a talk by a well-known Sith would begin at 1:00 AM, explaining which power? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Not anxious to hear that lecture, you silently leave from a door in the back of the hall. You walk down a corridor just as a thunder clap sounds. Jumping, you head to the nearest door. You enter what is clearly a cinema that is advertising which Peter Sellers film that will begin at 2:00 AM? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. As a Sellers fan, you have seen that film several times. With a torrential rain pouring down as you exit, you slip into another room. As lightning strikes again, you are able to discern an area set up as a nightclub with stage, bar, and several intimate tables. The signs on each side of the stage advertise that Johnny Dark will appear live at 3:00 AM. You wonder who he is, but eventually recognize him as whom? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. Readjusting your Cloak of Invisibility, you note that the hour is getting late. As you head back toward the front door, a muted roll of thunder alerts you to a neon sign over a door: A Walt Disney Duck Extravaganza at 4:00 AM. It only takes you a few seconds to figure out that which Disney duck is being featured? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. Although you would like to see at least a bit of the show, you know it is about time for you to leave the mansion. The thunder and lightning are fading into the distance as you reach a large room near the exit. Over the double-door, you discover that the marquee is indicating that the stage play "Wait Until
Dark" will begin at 4:30 AM. You recall that the play was written by whom?
Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. Rather than stay for the production, you check your watch and know that morning is about to break. You make your way out of the mansion through the Library, where a sign encourages every party participant to take a volume to read later. You select which book by Stephen King? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. You pull open the massive door of the mansion and step inside. A sudden gust of wind slams the door shut.

Answer: Carousel

The lyrics are from "You'll Never Walk Alone," a signature song by Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein II. It has been widely recorded by such artists as Judy Garland, Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Mahalia Jackson, and Johnny Cash.
2. When nobody seems to notice your presence, you move toward sounds coming from behind a nearby door.

A banner across the ceiling announces an all-night marathon showing of which American Gothic soap opera that featured the vampire Barnabas Collins?

Answer: Dark Shadows

"Dark Shadows" ran for over 1200 episodes on ABC from 1966 to 1971. Centering on the Collins family from Collinsport, Maine, the show also included ghosts, zombies, witches, monsters, and time travel.

Answer: Dark

"Dark" was released in July, 2013. Based on stealth combat, the game follows Eric Bane, a vampire suffering from amnesia, as he tries to avoid becoming a ghoul and recover his true self. It received universally dreadful reviews.
4. As you prepare to leave the arcade, you hear a background song by Cher that was a Billboard Top Pop 40 Number One hit. You recall that its title was what?

"Dark Lady" by Cher scored at Number One in 1974. "Dark Moon" was a 1957 hit by both Gale Storm (Number Four) and Bonnie Guitar (Number Six). "Dark Horse" reached Number 15 in 1975 for George Harrison. As far as I know, "Dark Days" is not a song.
5. As you slip through a sliding door, you glance at your watch and see that it is 12:45 AM. A bolt of lightning reveals that you have entered a lecture hall with a movie screen behind the podium.

Answer: A Shot In The Dark

"A Shot In The Dark" was a 1964 film staring Peter Sellers, Elke Sommer, and Herbert Lom. Clouseau investigates a murder at a country home. After he is removed by his superior, Dreyfus (Lom), he eventually returns to the case after several other murders, and bumbles his way to a solution.

Answer: An American comedian and comic actor

Johnny Dark has appeared on television with David Letterman and Johnny Carson, and as a guest on such shows as "Touched By An Angel," "L.A. Law," and "Too Close For Comfort." He has also appeared in films, including "Rip-Off," "A Lousy 10 Grand," and ""Repossessed."
8. Readjusting your Cloak of Invisibility, you note that the hour is getting late.

It only takes you a few seconds to figure out that which Disney duck is being featured?

Answer: Darkwing Duck

A spin-of of "Duck Tales," "Darkwing Duck" was an animated program about a superhero who had the secret identity of Drake Mallard. Helped by his pal and pilot Launchpad McQuack, Darkwing fights evil wherever he finds it, as well as his own huge ego.
9. Although you would like to see at least a bit of the show, you know it is about time for you to leave the mansion.

Answer: Frederick Knott

"Wait Until Dark," written by Frederick Knott, was first produced in 1966 with Lee Remick, Robert Duvall, and Mitchell Ryan in the cast. In 1967, it was adapted into a major movie with Audrey Hepburn, Alan Arkin, and Richard Crenna. The story involves a blind woman who, unknowingly, has a stash of heroin inside a doll, and the attempts of gangsters to retrieve the drugs.
10. Rather than stay for the production, you check your watch and know that morning is about to break. You make your way out of the mansion through the Library, where a sign encourages every party participant to take a volume to read later. You select which book by Stephen King?

Answer: The Dark Half

"The Dark Half" involves the rather eerie relationship between Thad Beaumont, a writer who uses the pen name George Stark, and George Stark. When the pen name is revealed, Beaumont symbolically buries Stark. But Stark, somehow, comes alive and begins a killing spree. [No spoiler here. Read the book.]
