Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Storm of the Century" was a book before it was made into a mini-series.

Answer: false

"Storm of The Century" was a script written specifically for TV. It was later released in book form.
2. Which two movies, based on Stephen King books, were later re-done, by his request?

Answer: "The Shining" and "Carrie"

Both "The Shining" and "Carrie" were redone for TV viewers. They followed the books more accurately.
3. The book "It" took place in Castle Rock.

Answer: false

This was an easy one. Any self-respecting King fan knows that "It" took place in Derry.
4. In the following sequence of books, which one was written first?

Answer: "The Shining"

"The Shining" was King's third novel published, following his bestsellers "Carrie" and "'Salem's Lot".
5. What was the first of SK's novels that was turned into a major motion picture?

Answer: "Carrie"

Not a tricky question for a King fan. "Carrie" was the obvious choice, followed very closely by "The Shining".
6. Stephen King was published many times in popular men's magazines.

Answer: true

SK sent many of his short stories into men's magazines, earning very little money doing so.
7. What is Stephen King's daughter's name?

Answer: Naomi

SK has three children: Naomi, Joe, and Owen.
8. What was the name of the short story featuring frogs with razor-sharp teeth?

Answer: "Rainy Season"

I loved this story- just the idea of it raining frogs that kill sent shivers up my spine.
9. Tabitha King's maiden name was Sprice.

Answer: false

Tabitha's maiden name wasn't Sprice, but Spruce.
10. Stephen and his family once lived in California.

Answer: false

Although the King family has moved several times, never have they resided in California. They've lived in Maine, and in Florida for a short period of time.
