Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. An emotionally disturbed woman gives "birth" to a bunch of blond haired terrors that act out her fits of rage. Oliver Reed played her doctor in this weirdly terrifying movie.

Answer: The Brood

This 1979 movie by David Cronenberg is filled with his usual grotesque special effects. I saw this movie when I was nine and it still makes me squeamish.

Answer: Altered States

This 1980 movie was William Hurt's first starring role. The movie was nominated for two Academy Awards that year: Best Art Direction/Set Decoration and Best Original Score.

Answer: Phantasm

The ads called this movie "a truly bizarre science-fiction horror fantasy." That basically sums it up right there. Scenes were cut out of this movie to avoid an "X" rating.

Answer: Demon Seed

The movie is a bit far-fetched, but it still has an element of terror. It is terrifying to think that a computer can be smarter than its programmer.

Answer: Coma

After watching this movie it should make you feel even more uncomfortable about going to the hospital. The suspense continued right up to the very end; you didn't know who to trust.

Answer: The Amityville Horror

Rod Steiger is great as the exorcist and James Brolin gives a creepy performance as the father. This movie was followed by a slew of poorly done sequels.

7. This is one of the cheesiest horrors of all time. Ernest Borgnine plays Satan's head minister and goes to battle with a young and fit William Shatner and his brother played by Tom Skerritt.

Answer: Devil's Rain

The technical advisor for this movie was Anton Szandor Lavey, High Priest of the Church of Satan. The movie has a twist ending that shows that evil never dies.

8. This is one of my favorites. It features the number 666 and a little boy who is considered to be the devil. Need I say more? It stars the late Gregory Peck and Lee Remick.

Answer: The Omen

This is one of the most terrifying movies I've ever seen. It's too bad the sequels aren't as good.

Answer: Tourist Trap

This movie is corny to watch now, but as a child it really freaked me out. Chuck Connors is fabulous as Mr. Slausen.

10. Which is NOT the title of an actual movie?

Answer: The Devil's Handbag

"The Devil's Handbag" is not a real title. "Basket Case" is about a pair of Siamese twins, separated at birth - one normal, the other deformed (and carried around in a basket by his brother). "Motel Hell" is a cheesy movie about a farmer who makes smoked sausages using humans. "God Told Me To" is about a mass murderer, born of a virgin mother, and the cop trying to stop him.
