Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which notorious serial killer does not feature in Dr. Hudson's famous lecture speech?

Answer: The Vampire of Dusseldorf

Although the Vampire of Dusseldorf does feature in the film (his name was Peter Kurten and this is the name the Copycat takes for himself) he does not appear in the speech, nor are his crimes replicated.

2. During Dr. Hudson's lecture speech at the start of the movie the Copycat killer is part of the lecture theatre audience.

Answer: True

Dr. Hudson asks all the white males, between the ages of 25-30 to stand in the room so that everyone can get an idea of what a serial killer might look like. The Copycat killer is one of the men to stand.

3. What is the colour of Dr. Hudson's lecture suit?

Answer: Red

The suit appears several times in the film. It is what Dr. Hudson wears for her lectures and also what the Copycat killer places out on the bed to scare Dr. Hudson.

4. What condition has Dr. Hudson suffered with, since the attack by Daryll Lee Cullum?

Answer: Agoraphobia

Dr. Hudson becomes agoraphobic, this means she has a fear of being in open spaces and public places. Xenophobia is a fear of strangers, necrophobia is a fear of death and glossophobia is a fear of speaking in public. Dr. Hudson is unable to leave her apartment due to her condition.

5. Which notorious serial killer(s) is the first to be replicated by the Copycat?

Answer: Albert DeSalvo

The notorious Albert DeSalvo is the first serial killer to be replicated in the movie. M.J. and Reuben attend the crime scene and later discover that the stocking has been removed from the victim. They then visit Helen Hudson for her help. They are unaware at the time that the murder is a copycat.

6. What does Daryll Lee Cullum request from Dr. Hudson, in return for his help?

Answer: Her underwear

He rather crudely requests her underwear. He says he wants something personal of hers as he thinks about her all the time. He in fact sends her a signed copy of his book via Peter Kurten.

7. What police error causes Detective Reuben Goetz's death?

Answer: Nicoletti leaves the drawer open.

Nicoletti leaves the drawer open, which means the young criminal is able to get the gun and try to escape. Monahan shoots the criminal in the shoulder and he drops, but still manages to fire a bullet through Reuben's heart.

8. The Copycat takes the name of Peter Kurten but what was his real name?

Answer: Peter Foley

We discover that the Copycat killer is Peter Foley of Daily City. He is identified by the man who attends the club with Dr. Hudson's assistant. He is able to identify Peter Foley from some driver's licenses that the police aquired after searching their database to find owners of VW Bugs. Freeman is the name of the lieutenant, the other names I made up.

9. Who is the victim of the Copycat's Dahmer-style murder?

Answer: Andy

Andy, Dr. Hudson's assistant is drugged by the Copycat and decapitated. His body is later found in the river. Dr. Hudson feels responsible for his death.

10. How does the Copycat killer die?

Answer: M.J. Monahan shoots him.

The Copycat killer manages to chase Dr. Hudson onto the roof of the lecture theatre. He is unaware that Monahan is still alive and just as he's about to stab Dr. Hudson Monohan, Monahan appears and fires into his arm. He drops the knife. She then shoots him a further 5 times - the last of which is in the head.
