Creepy, Just Creepy 2 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Jamie and Janet

Jamie Lee Curtis, star of 'Halloween', is, of course, the daughter of (now veteran) actor Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh - whose death in Hitchcock's 'Psycho' shower scene shocked audiences across the United States and spawned a billion schlock homages.

Answer: Rose McGowan

If you said Jamie Kennedy, you really don't know Randy well at all, do you? He would know there's no such person as 'Wes Carpenter' - he works in a video store. Wes Carpenter is Tatum's mix-up of Wes Craven (who directed 'Scream') and John Carpenter, another veteran horror director.

Answer: All three are directed by Tobe Hooper

King wrote the books/stories on which only 'The Mangler', and 'Salem's Lot' were based. The connection with Silvestri, who has risen to fame as Robert Zemeckis's answer to John Williams, is even more tenuous: Tobe Hooper directed one episode of 'Tales from the Crypt' and Silvestri wrote the score for four episodes - none of which is the one Hooper helmed. Tobe Hooper, a name with gold card status in horror circles, is reportedly tipped to direct 'The Brew', starring Brad Dourif and Amanda Plummer. Dourif has played at least two stutterers: a gas station attendant in 'Urban Legend' and poor, beleagured Billy Bibbit in 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'.

Answer: the highjackers who lie in the road pretending to have been knocked down.

No trivia, but isn't Alicia Witt pretty? OK, I can't resist it: the Latin motto of the fictional university at which the action takes place reportedly translates as 'The best friend did it'.

Answer: Robert Englund played Freddy Krueger in the 'Elm Street' films and janitor Fred in 'Scream'

Actually it was Wes Craven himself who donned the runny skin and stripey jersey in 'Scream'. Englund did play Professor William Wexler in 'Urban Legend' and Gammill in the 'Size Matters' episode of 'Charmed', in which he tried to turn the Halliwell sisters into dolls. Brian Cox is a respected Shakespearean actor, as is the better-known Lecter, Anthony Hopkins. For those of you who spent the 100-odd minutes of 'The Ring' going 'Who's that girl?', Aussie actress Naomi Watts played Jet Girl in 'Tank Girl'. And please, before you go sending me correction notes on the spelling of Dr Lecktor's name, that IS how it's spelt in the Mann version.

In the Hopkins films it's spelt 'Lecter'.

Answer: Stephen King

Shame on you if you knew the answer but spelt the King's first name with a 'v'. Stephen King's alter ego was exposed (by King himself, although a lot of fans already suspected the connection) a good while after the film was released - around the time he was writing 'The Dark Half', interestingly enough.

Answer: Ginger Snaps

This unusual film won multiple awards, including the Toronto International Film Festival Special Jury Citation for Best Canadian Feature Film. It constitutes one of the better treatments of lycanthropy in recent years, putting a new spin on the legend. Ginger is bitten by werewolf on the very night she reaches puberty, giving a wealth of new meanings to the moon, the monthly cycle and the bloodier elements of werewolf lore.

I have always been troubled by Hollywood's desperate attempts to persuade us that silver is the best antidote to an attack of the vampires - not a single legend older than fifty years suggests any such thing. Read my lips: Silver is for werewolves. However, 'Dracula 2000' propounds a rather clever theory as to the vampires/silver story, using Judas's thirty pieces as its basis.

Answer: Nineteen Eighty-Four

Speilberg's 'Minority Report' bears uncanny resemblance to parts of '1984', particularly the Thought Police. Eric Arthur Blair was the real name of George Orwell, who also wrote the famous 'Animal Farm', which has spawned two cartoons. Orwell was among the treacherous 'informants' during the McCarthy witch-hunt era, providing the British government with a list of the people he considered to have Communist 'leanings' (including Charlie Chaplin, Michael Redgrave and J.B. Priestley).

This is ironic, given his own horror of a society which included invasion of privacy, suppression of freedom of speech, encouragement of citizens to betray one another to save their own skins and involvement of the government in the individual's political affiliations and beliefs.

This from the man who said: 'Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.' Horrific, no?

Answer: Jame Gumb

Jame Gumb is the real name of Ted Levine's character, Buffalo Bill, in 'The Silence of the Lambs'. In 'Red Dragon'/'Manhunter' Dolarhyde is the killer's real name, the press dubs him The Tooth Fairy (much to his displeasure) and he likes to think of himself as The Red Dragon, going to the lengths of having his entire back tattooed with a William Blake painting.

Answer: Legion

The demon informs Jesus that 'My name is Legion, for we are many.' He beseeches Christ not to drive him out, and instead is transferred to a herd of swine rooting nearby. The two thousand pigs then rush into the sea and are drowned. Ironically enough, while Friedkin may not have intended the association (although I rather think he probably did), the sound effect used for the demon leaving Regan's body is in fact the sound of pigs being slaughtered.

According to baronlatos, the graffito 'PIG' visible on the wall near where Father Karras lands. Those steps are on the Georgetown University campus.
