You Can't Kill That Zombie Trivia Quiz

Answer: Gun

According to my meager knowledge on this problem, I would have to shoot them in the head. I hope I have enough bullets, there are quite a few of them, and I see more coming! I hope there won't be too many.

Supposedly zombies were dead, then brought back through Voodoo. This legend originated in Haiti and before that, perhaps, Africa.

Answer: I can't - I'll just avoid him

I will just avoid him until he goes back to his coffin. He is definitely already dead, so I'll hide until he goes back to his coffin, lock him in, and ship him back to Egypt. I shouldn't have stolen this treasure in the first place! Quite a few movies have featured mummies. I like the one with Abbott and Costello.

Many of the mummies we see and hear about come from the ancient Egyptian civilization. Not everyone was mummified upon there death, but many royals and their families were. Many animals that figured in the religion of the ancient culture were mummified as well. Mummification was a complicated way of preserving the body, then wrapping it completely as a preparation for the underworld, where they would awaken to live forever.

Answer: Make silver bullets

I've been watching an old TV show, so I knew what to do. I saw that you take your silver candlesticks to Ezra, and have them melted down to make silver bullets. Hah! Mr. Werewolf won't be expecting this!

Ezra explained that silver has long been believed by European cultures to be a defense not only for werewolves but for vampires, as well. In the case of the werewolf, he said, there is a legend of "The Beast of Gevaudan"; the beast was a huge wolf that after many killings, was killed himself, by silver bullets.
Ezra further commented that silver figures in old beliefs about the full moon,as does the werewolf.

Ezra Braithwaite was a character in the old Gothic TV show, "Dark Shadows", 1966 - 1971. There were over 1200 episodes and I watch them all on DVD.

Answer: yes

The movie I had watched, "Clash of the Titans" may have led some to believe that the Kraken is another legend of Greek myth, but it isn't.

Instead, it is an ancient legend from the northern seas. The oldest written legend is found in the old Icelandic saga, "Orvar-Odds" from the 13th century.
Other ancient writings tell of the monsters who could swallow men and ships and anything else they wanted to. It can create whirlpools from which ships cannot escape. Some beliefs say that there are only two and do not reproduce; the two just go on and on.

That means that the two cannot be destroyed, at least by man, so I, for one, am content to leave them alone, in fact, I'm going home!

Answer: Find out what his problem is

Legend tells us that ghosts have unfinished business, but since he is already dead, you can't kill him. Maybe you could get him to leave. You could try to find out why he's 'hanging' around, and resolve his problem for him. Good luck.

Answer: Yes

"Frankenstein" was first published in 1818, the product of a contest among friends as to who could write the best horror story. It is said that Mary Shelley got the idea from a dream.

After a terrible chase across the northern regions of the world, Frankenstein fails to catch up to his monster to kill him. Frankenstein himself dies. The last line in which we hear of the monster is, "He sprung from the cabin-window, as he said this, upon the ice-raft which lay close to the vessel. He was soon borne away by the waves and lost in darkness and distance".
(Quotation from "Literature.org The Online Literature Library)".

That means he could still be alive! But wait, he looks familiar now - I see that the person I saw lurching toward my house turned out to be just my gardener, Igor, so I guess I'm safe for now.

Answer: No

If he stays in my dreams, that's when he could kill me. Only if I could drag him into the real world, would he be vulnerable. Anyway, I found that I had fallen asleep with the TV on and it was playing a movie, "A Nightmare on Elm Street". It was about Freddy Krueger, a man who had lived, but been killed by angry parents of kids whom he had molested.

However, since he was at one time a real man, he could be killed by any means. At least that was his legend. As for me, no more late-night TV!

Answer: Shoot him in the heart with a wooden arrow

I thought of locking him in the cell, but vampires can do all sorts of things, like turning into a bat, disappearing and appearing elsewhere, or becoming invisible. Since I have a crossbow and wooden arrows, I decided that would be best, since a wooden stake is one of the best destroyers of the vampire according to Bram Stoker. Wish me luck!

Much of the interest in vampires today, stems from Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, "Dracula". This has led to the vampire becoming one of the best known supernatural beings in most areas of entertainment.
Barnabas Collins a vampire from "Dark Shadows", was once in peril from a crossbow, too bad the archer's aim was off!

Answer: Hold my breath

Just in time, I remembered that in order for a mist to harm me, I would have to breathe it in, so I held my breath, ran downstairs, loaded my crossbow, and when he followed me into the room (in his normal form), ka-powee! Right in the heart. He immediately crumbled into ashes which blew away when a breeze blew in my open window.

I had been looking for the best wood to use for my purpose, and again I learned from writers of "Dark Shadows" that Yew was used, as it is the wood of death, so that's what I used. Other cultures have used Hawthorne (believed to be a magical wood in Serbia), Cedar, Ash and others.

Answer: Beat him with my fireplace poker

I accidentally killed him with the fireplace poker, after I splashed paint on him, and I could see him. Because, after all, he was still a man, although invisible. The chemical potion he took for invisibility made him crazy, but I won't let that happen to me. You see, I found his notebooks and journals in his room, and soon, I too, will be invisible but not crazy! I promise...come visit...Bwahahahahaha...
