Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. 'Hell is other people' is a (translated) quote from which writer?

Answer: Jean-Paul Sartre

From Sartre's play 'Huit Clos' ('No Exit' in English), based on the (questionable) premise that being in a room with irritating people can be worse than being roasted and prodded with forks for all eternity.

2. Which of the following men was NOT in the lowest level of Dante's Inferno?

Answer: Augustus

In Dante Alighieri's classic poem, the lowest level of hell is reserved for traitors - Judas, and the two men who betrayed Julius Caesar.

3. In 'Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey', which game is NOT played by the two heroes to escape from Hell?

Answer: Chess

A good film, starring Keanu Reeves and ... that other guy. You know ... the one with the curly hair ... wasn't he in a film about a demon knight or something ...

4. Complete the title - 'The Devil and Daniel ...'

Answer: Webster

Apparently a film version of the classic 'The Devil and Daniel Webster' (in which the eponymous Daniel sells his soul) came out in 2003, starring Jennifer Love Hewitt as the devil (no really). I vaguely remember a cartoon called 'The Devil and Daniel Mouse' from the dim and distant past.

5. In which 'Friday the Thirteenth' film does Jason go to hell?

Answer: The Final Friday

I shouldn't criticise a film I haven't seen, but I'm guessing 'Jason Goes to Hell' is no Oscar winner.

6. What was the first name of the Dutch painter, Bosch, famous for his hellish visions?

Answer: Hieronymus

His most famous painting, 'the Garden of Earthly Delights' is in the Prado, Madrid - the plate depicting hell is quite disturbing (and those depicting heaven and earth are no picnic either).

7. Who played the Devil's son, Damien, in 'Omen III: The Final Conflict'?

Answer: Sam Neill

This was the frankly disappointing conclusion to the chilling trilogy tracing Damien's growth from child to man. I'm not counting 'Omen IV' because it was such rubbish that even the Damien character was too ashamed to appear in it.

8. Which of the following is the name of a gang in Monty Python's 'And Now for Something Completely Different'?

Answer: Hell's Grannies

They are a group of old ladies who go around attacking young men.

9. In an episode of 'The Simpsons', what does Homer sell his soul for?

Answer: A donut (or doughnut, if you're British)

It's alright, he gets it back.

10. Which of the following has NOT been inspired by the Faust legend?

Answer: They all have

The story of the Doctor who summons the Devil has inspired countless others too.
