An Army of Undead! Trivia Quiz

Answer: Army of Darkness

While not technically a zombie flick in its truest sense, "Army of Darkness" features all sorts of undead and monster types. There are several types of zombies including stop animation skeletons.

Answer: Dawn of the Dead

Numerous scenes in the movie taking place in the shopping mall have found their way into many modern video games. One of the most notable is "Dead Rising", which even has the player taking photographs of many zombie kills, in some cases essentially requiring the player to frame scenes nearly identical to the movie.

Answer: Night of the Living Dead

This movie takes place on a very small set, with most of the time being spent surviving the night within the barn and farmhouse. This movie was shot on a very low budget, and released in mono sound and in black and white. Romero later released a newer version of the film, but many zombie fans feel the original is the better of the two, as the pacing was more deliberate in this one.

Answer: Zombieland

This movie features the four survivors all trying to get to a safe location free of zombies, which they mistakenly feel is an amusement park. The main character constantly quotes zombie survival tips, which prove to be very effective most of the time. All the incorrect answers were other films Woody Harrelson has been in.

While Mr. Harrelson is not the main protagonist of the movie, he is often the one most remembered for his role as Tallahassee.

Answer: Zombie Strippers

This comedy zombie flick should be watched with an open mind, and one free of scrutiny. The plot is bad and shallow, the acting horrific, and the dialogue is somehow even worse. Still, it has its moments and is a silly take on the zombie genre. Things get really interesting when the zombies strippers start to deteriorate, as they get quite ghastly in a hurry.

The scene involving pool balls is one that has to be seen to be believed. The wrong answers were all films directed by the same man, Jay Lee.

Answer: Shaun of the Dead

Half the film takes place in the characters' favorite locale, a local pub. Despite his girlfriend's misgivings, this turns out to be a great place to defend themselves from the zombies, as it is a sturdy structure. My favorite part is at the end, where survivors are shown finding ways to live with the remaining zombies. All the incorrect answers are other films Simon Pegg has appeared in.

Answer: 28 Days Later

The main premise of this film is that a super virus called Rage has somehow gotten loose in the general population. Unlike most zombie movies, the zombies do not move at all slowly, and rush any victim they come across, even chasing them for great distances. All incorrect answers are other films featuring Cillian Murphy. Most people think of the "Batman" character Scarecrow when they see his face, but you get to see a lot more of Mr. Murphy when he first wakes up in a hospital ward.

Answer: Resident Evil

This film centers around a crack team trying to neutralize the threat as it spreads not only through Raccoon City, but through the underground base as well. The self defense systems of the self aware machine are rather impressive, and the Red Queen, as she is called, is quite similar to HAL from 2001. All the incorrect answers are other Milla Jovovich films.

This movie was a huge success, spawning several sequels, many different video games, and grossing over three times its production cost.

Answer: Dead Alive

When Timothy's mom dies, he is overcome with grief, only to be very excited at her reanimation. The excitement quickly fades, as it become apparent that she now has an unworldly hunger that soon becomes difficult to sate. The son starts with small things, but gradually she works her way up to dogs, then people, ultimately requiring him to kill her. All the incorrect answers were other Peter Jackson films. Peter Jackson, now world renowned for his work on the "Lord of the Rings" films, was a schlock horror director for many years.

Answer: Dead Snow

The vacation starts benignly enough, with the students having fun in a cabin. A local comes by and tells them what sounds like a ghost story about what the Nazis did to the locals in WW2, resulting in the townsfolk driving the Nazis into the mountains. Things get really interesting when the Nazis return, now zombies, and try to get at something in the students' cabin. You can find this film on Netflix; I highly recommend it.
