Christine - the red and white killing machine! Quiz

Answer: $250

Dennis thinks this way too much for a junk-heap like Christine, but Arnie thinks it's a steal. This figure does not include all the repairs that Christine needed.

Answer: Acne

At the beginning of the book Arnie has terrible acne, and this is one of the reasons why he is treated like a loser at school. However, once Arnie buys Christine his skin begins to clear up.

Answer: Rita

Rita choked to death on a piece of meat on Christine's back seat. She was only six years old. Lebay's brother believed that Roland did not try very hard to save her.

Answer: Carbon monoxide poisoning

Veronica attached a hose to Christine's exhaust pipe, put the other end inside the car window and locked herself in after Rita's death. We at first believe it was a suicide, but then it is hinted that she may have been murdered by her husband.

Answer: Emphysema

Will contracted emphysema after years of heavy smoking. This breathing disorder was his downfall when he was attacked by Christine.

Answer: A piece of hamburger

Leigh nearly chokes on a McDonalds hamburger on the way home from Dennis' football game, but is saved by a hitch-hiker. She later tells Arnie that Christine's dashboard lights had taken the shape of evil, malicious eyes.

Answer: pushing Christine

After Christine was vandalised by Buddy and his friends, Arnie snuck her into the junkyard behind Darnell's and pushed her around until she had repaired herself enough so he could drive her. He hurt his back in the process but ignored the pain and kept on pushing.

Answer: Football

During a football game, Dennis was tackled simultaneously by three members of the opposing team. This broke both his legs, fractured his arm and skull and almost paralysed him.

Answer: Moochie Welch

Moochie was one of the boys who vandalised Christine at the airport. Whilst he is walking home from a rock concert he sees Christine, empty. She then proceeds to chase him, hit him (throwing him into a brick wall) and run over him repeatedly.

Answer: Rudolph Junkins

Officer Junkins suspects Arnie from the beginning, but he was a little too nosey, so Christine ran him off the road and destroyed his car. Bannerman is the unfortunate policeman from "Cujo" and "The Dead Zone", Daniels is the insane, vigilante cop from "Rose Madder" and Entragian is the evil being from "Desperation".

Answer: Jimmy Sykes

Jimmy is the slightly retarded worker at Darnell's who unknowingly helps Leigh and Dennis destroy Christine, when he lends them his keys.

Answer: Thanksgiving

Arnie visits the hospital briefly on the day Dennis is injured, and then again on Thanksgiving Day, when he gives him turkey sandwiches. This is the last time Dennis enjoys his time with Arnie.

Answer: Richie Trelawney and Bobby Stanton

Buddy, Richie and Bobby are cruising after a Libertyville High basketball game and cut through a state park. Unfortunately they are then attacked by Christine on the snowy road. Should've taken the bus.

Answer: a broken rib punctures his heart

Buddy Repperton was one hard man to kill. He survived the car being crushed into the gatehouse (this killed Bobby), the subsequent flip and explosion (bye-bye Richie) and being hit by Christine (broke his leg though). He managed to climb a steep embankment and escape Christine, but he was then greeted by the rotting corpse of Roland D. Lebay and his heart just couldn't take it.

Answer: it is bright pink

Petunia does indeed have a name, and it is huge, but it is the bright pink colour that startles Dennis. It does not have only one tail light. Dennis rents Petunia so he can use it to destroy Christine.

Answer: his leg

Whilst opening the gate to Darnell's, Dennis slips on ice and re-injures his leg. The pain is so great that he cannot work the clutch with that foot. Instead he must use a mop to press the pedal, making things much more difficult. Leigh is also a bit of a hindrance, basically making herself a moving target for Christine, but what can you do?

Answer: 6

Christine doesn't have much luck hitting Leigh, she's a speedy little mynx, and the fact that she is being rammed repeatedly by Dennis in a truck doesn't help. She does manage to throw a dead body onto Miss Cabot though.

Answer: Michael Cunningham

Michael, Arnie's father, is Christine's rather dead passenger in the final fight. Dennis gets the idea that Michael must have sat inside Christine, been locked in, and then been the victim of malicious carbon monoxide poisoning. Why the man thought it was a good idea to sit in a car which he had been recently told to avoid as his life depended on it, I'll never know.

Answer: she could repair herself

When Christine drove, her milometer wound backwards, repairing any damage she had received. This is a highly useful added bonus, as this rid her of suspicion in the earlier murders. It also made her nigh on impossible to kill.

Answer: 1983
