Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Eric works at a distributor's warehouse, where he is bullied by his fellows because of his film addiction. One day, he makes a bet with coworker Richie that if he guesses the full name of a famous movie character, played by Humphrey Bogart, Richie would win 20 dollars. What movie is this character from?

Answer: Casablanca

The character is Rick Blaine from the 1942 masterpiece and Academy Award winner set in World War 2 Morocco where Bogie's character tries to help refugees to escape to the USA. It also stars Ingrid Bergman as his long lost love and Claude Rains as the German captain. "We will always have Paris."
2. When Aunt Stella breaks Eric's projector, he is watching a 1947 film noir with a famous scene involving stairs. Which film is this?

Answer: Kiss of Death

It incites Eric's rage and madness. He then pushes Aunt Stella downstairs inspired by the memorable villain Tommy Udo, played by Richard Widmark in "Kiss of Death", where his character goes after Victor Mature's for revenge, since the latter was a thief who was apprehended and became a police informer who put Tommy in jail. Also starring Coleen Gray and Brian Donlevy.
3. Eric has a crush on a girl named Marilyn O'Connor because she resembles which famous blonde actress?

Answer: Marilyn Monroe

The answer's in the question. Eric meets her in a coffee shop, where her light blonde hairs and fleshy lips arise his love feelings.

4. When Eric goes to the cinema, what classic monster is he dressed like?

Answer: Dracula

He really resembles Bela Lugosi's Dracula in make up. His face is painted white with long black eyebrows and combed hair. The is suit also identical; the only missing thing is Dracula's teeth.

He was dressed like the Mummy when his former boss got killed. Eric was never dressed like Boris Karloff's Frankenstein or Lon Chaney's Wolf Man.
5. When Eric leaves the cinema he goes to Marilyn's house. Why does he go there?

Answer: To get her autograph

In a hilarious scene straight out of "Psycho", Marilyn is taking a shower when Eric arrives deceitfully and tears off the shower's curtain. In a scare, his pen drops on the wet floor, with the ink washing away like the blood in Hitchcock's film. While Marilyn screams, Eric calmly says he just wants her autograph.

Answer: A Gun

He is dressed like cowboy Hopalong Cassidy and shoots Richie several times in a dark alley.
Richie was played by a then unknown Mickey Rourke.

Answer: Gary stole his idea for a feature.

Gary is a producer who stole Eric's project called "Alabama and the Forty Thieves". He corners Gary in a barber shop and murders him with a machine gun.
8. What truth do we find about Aunt Stella?

Answer: She is Eric's mother.

When the policewoman is driving after Eric, along with his psychologist, she tells the doctor she discovered this truth. Aunt Stella feared her pregnancy would ruin her dancing career and she never assumed Eric was her son.
Eric kills his own mother and he never realizes it.
9. At the end of the movie, Eric starts to claim he is what famous movie villain?

Answer: Cody Jarrett

Answer: Frenzy

During the end credits we can see a "Frenzy" (1972) poster in his room. "Frenzy" was Hitchcock's return to his native England after many years and is about a man mistakenly believed to be the infamous necktie murderer, a sexual maniac killing women in London.
