Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Owen was shot to death in both the book and movie. In which was he shot by Freddy Johnson?

Answer: book

In the movie he was shot by Curtis (in the book his character is named Kurtz), who was in a helicopter. In the book, Kurtz shoots Owen twice and was killed by Freddy Johnson. Owen then told Freddy to finish it, so Freddy did. Only a few pages later Freddy was killed by the Byrum (known as the weasels in the movie) that came out of Perlmutter.

Answer: movie

In the movie there was an explosive confrontation between Duddits (who was an alien-in-disguise in the movie) and the physical Mr. Gray that killed both. In the book Jonesy and Henry combined their minds with Duddits' help and went to kill Mr. Gray in Jonesy's mind. Duddits later died of leukemia.

3. Mr. Gray began to adapt to Jonesy in both the movie and book. In which did he get a taste for food?

Answer: book

Mr. Gray became obsessed with bacon. He became so obsessed that it became his weakness and slowed him down because, in the book, Duddits starts putting the word "bacon" into his head, causing him to stop over and get a lot of bacon at the nearest convenience store.

4. In both the book and the movie Owen and Henry broke out of the quarantine zone. In which did they get the regular army to take over the situation?

Answer: movie

In the book they caused a huge rebellion among the people trapped in the barn. In the movie they called a general in, who took over the situation and treated it with more care than Curtis (called Kurtz in the book).

5. Mr. Gray picked up Pete for help in both the movie and the book. In which did he kill Pete?

Answer: both

In the book he tightens the byrus around Pete's head to crush his skull. In the movie Mr. Gray turns into a monster temporarily to eat Pete.

6. In both the movie and the book Henry and Owen get away from the quarantine zone. In which did they kill Kurtz (Curtis) before leaving?

Answer: neither

In the book Kurtz is killed by Freddy Johnson after shooting Owen. In the movie Curtis is killed by Owen after shooting Owen a lot. In neither did they kill Kurtz (Curtis) before leaving the quarantine zone.

7. In both the movie and the book Duddits died. In which did he die after Mr. Gray was dead and the entire situation resolved?

Answer: neither

In the book he died from being so weak right after Mr. Gray's death, but then there were still two Byrums to deal with. In the movie he turned into an alien and sacrificed himself to kill Mr. Gray. Personally I liked the ending of the book more.

8. In both the movie and the book Duddits was sick. In which did he have Leukemia?

Answer: both

In the book he died because of it. In the movie and book Henry felt guilty because they hadn't known about it. The part of the book in which Duddits died was sad, but the movie exploited the death for action and made you indifferent to Duddits' passing.

9. In both the movie and the book Mr. Gray wanted to get a byrum into the Quabbin Reservoir. In which did the byrum get shot by Henry?

Answer: movie

In the book Owen shot it after Mr. Gray was eliminated. In the movie Henry shot it before Mr. Gray and Duddits confronted each other.

10. In both the movie and the book Beaver had to sit on the toilet to keep the byrum trapped inside. In which did he accidentally let it out while reaching for a tooth pick?

Answer: both

Beaver was addicted to chewing on tooth picks. He dropped his tooth picks everywhere in the bathroom and kept trying to get a tooth pick while sitting on the toilet. The final time when he would have actually gotten it, the byrum slammed upwards and threw Beaver off the toilet. Afterwards the byrum kills Beaver and almost kills Jonesy.
