1. What is the cat called in 'Pet Semetary'?

Answer: Church

This cat was brought back to life in this classic by Stephen King. One of my personal favorites! Scary!

2. What type of car is Christine?

Answer: Plymouth Fury

A true oldie but a goldie when it comes to collectable cars. I guess a haunted Toyota wasn't terrifying enough, huh?

3. What name does Delacroix give the mouse in 'The Green Mile'?

Answer: Mr. Jingles

Watch the wording on this question.The guards at 'The Green Mile' named the mouse Steamboat Willy before Delacroix adopted him. Hope this didn't confuse you too much.

4. What does the Gunslinger lose on the beach in 'The Drawing of the Three'?

Answer: two fingers and one toe

A personal favorite of mine, but the entire Dark Tower series is very good. I'm waiting for the fifth part!

5. What breed of dog is Cujo?

Answer: Saint Bernard

6. According to the movie adaptation of 'Cycle of the Werewolf', The 'Silver Bullet' is what?

Yes, we know that silver bullets do kill werewolves, but we felt that the true Silver Bullet was the wheelchair.

Answer: dull boy

Check out The Simpsons version of 'The Shining' if you haven't already. 'No beer and no T.V. make Homer something, something...'

8. What agency will help you quit smoking....no matter what?

Answer: Quitters Incorporated

This method of quitting smoking is probably only effective only if you have no family or loved ones!

9. What do the main characters of the movie 'The Blair Witch Project' and the main character of 'The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon', have in common?

Answer: they all got lost in the woods

'The Blair Witch'...great flick, one of the best hoaxes of all time, we fell for it!

10. Pennywise, from the novel 'It', NEVER appears as a what?

Answer: rat

This book probably hurt the careers of many a birthday party clown!

11. When 'Wizard and Glass' was published in 1997, it was which numbered book in the 'Dark Tower' series?

Although, we've heard the curse of Richard Simmons is pretty terrifying too!

Answer: s and m

This was a gimmee. How many people are into m and m, come on.

Answer: The Green Goblin

Check out Spiderman comics and you'll find that The Green Goblin is one of Spidey's most feared villians!

Answer: Misery

Shame about Jack Nicholson not winning for 'The Shining'. He'd definitely get our vote!

16. Which of the following is not set in Maine?

Answer: The Green Mile

Stephen King's home is located in the state of Maine, so you'll find a lot of his storylines based there. Write about what you know.

Answer: girl scouts

To the best of our knowledge, no Stephen King storyline has ever had a main villain who was a cookie-toting, all-American girl scout.

If you haven't checked out any of the Bachman books, please give them a read. Some of the titles include 'The Running Man' and 'Thinner'.

19. What type of music does Christine always play on her radio?

Answer: '50s oldies

Hey, at least it's not ABBA.
