Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Whose water spear does Donnie look into at the Halloween party?

Answer: Gretchen's

There's a weird effect where his eyes sort of bulge out.
2. To where do Donnie, Gretchen, and Donnie's two friends ride their bikes?

Answer: Grandma Death's house

Donnie sees the cellar door and realizes that Miss Pomeroy's parting message was a guide for him.
3. What instrument does Gretchen play with in the cellar?

Answer: piano

It's very quiet and she plays a few chords.
4. Who gets run over by Frank?

Answer: Gretchen

He swerved to avoid hitting Grandma Death and ended up running over Gretchen, who had been dropped by Ricky in the middle of the road.
5. When Frank's car passes her, what is Grandma Death holding?

Answer: a letter

The letter was from Donnie. His sending it ensured that she would be out in the road so Frank would swerve and hit Gretchen. All the events were lined up to force the particular chain of events.
6. What is the costume of the other guy in Frank's car?

Answer: clown

He gets out of the car first after Gretchen is hit.
7. True or false? Donnie shoots Frank.

Answer: true

In the right eye with the gun from his father's closet.
8. Where does Donnie drive Gretchen to in order to watch the portal opening?

Answer: mountain road

This is the same place Donnie woke up at in the opening scene of the film. Player Mr. Turkle informs me that this is Carpathian Ridge.
9. The painting on Donnie's wall that ends the rewinding of time is by what artist?

Answer: M.C. Escher

The sketch is entitled 'Eye' and the camera zooms out from the skull in the pupil. Escher was a popular artist in the 80s.
10. In the aftershock sequence (following the final falling of the engine), who of the following is shown asleep?

Answer: Miss Pomeroy

She's the only one sleeping after the engine falls.
11. In the aftershock sequence, is Jim Cunningham laughing?

Answer: no

He's crying, probably because he has some sense of what a monster he is.
12. In the aftershock sequence, what body part does Frank touch?

Answer: right eye

As he seemingly remembers something of his death.
13. In the morning after (the final falling of the engine) scene, who is the first family member seen?

Answer: Elizabeth

She looks very upset. Apparently, Maggie Gyllenhaal (Jake's sister in life and the film) asked that he not be on-set while filming this scene. I can image it would be harder to muster up that emotional state of loss if they could see Jake (Donnie).
14. In the morning after scene, what is Rose doing?

Answer: smoking

That is her way of dealing with grief. No doubt she will cry extensively in the years to come.
15. What happens between Rose and Gretchen in the last scene?

Answer: a wave is exchanged

The neighbor boy also waves. The movie ends with this hopeful image.
