Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. (1998) My name in Captain John Miller, and I died in WWII. I was in charge of an eight man unit that was sent to find one specific soldier and bring him home. It seems that his mother had already received three telegrams telling her that her other three sons were dead, and it was felt that her fourth son should be spared, since she had already given enough.
2. (1991) That rotten Peter may be all grown up now, but he's still the same nasty boy he's always been. You might think it was that crocodile that killed me when it fell on me, but I know better. That croc had been dead for years, there's no way it could have killed me unless that Peter did something to it, so it has to be his fault. I just wish that I'd never dragged him back to Neverland by kidnapping his kids.
3. (1983) My name is Emma Horton, although my maiden name was Greenway. I have three children, a cheating husband and a very uptight, controlling mother, who is having a relationship with the astronaut who lives next door. Mom and I love each other very much, but we do tend to drive each other crazy too. I also have cancer, and I'm darned if I'm going to let my husband and his girlfriend raise my kids, so once I'm gone, my children will live with my mother.
4. (1998) My name is Jimmy Angelov, and I was killed by a pair of sisters, by the name of Gillian and Sally. They killed me by putting belladonna in my tequila, just because I was threatening to brand Gillian with my ring. Then they brought me back to life (being witches), and tried to kill me again with a frying pan. But I wouldn't stay dead, and they had to gather a coven to perform an exorcism to get rid of me.
5. (1996) Dr. Jonas Miller is my name, and I died because I was arrogant enough to think that I was the best storm chaser around. I guess I just didn't have the instinctive, gut feel for storms that I thought I did. They warned me to get off of that road, but I wouldn't listen, so I ran right into the tornado and died.
6. (1993) My name is Donald Gennaro, and I came down here to check on the safety of the island. Once I saw what these scientists had cloned, I was blown away by the thought of all the money we were going to make. I should have stayed focused on the safety issue though, because I was killed by a T-Rex when the power went out, and the electric fences went down.
7. (1939) That horrible little girl killed me when she splashed water on me. She claims it was an accident, just like she said it was an accident when she dropped her house on my sister. You don't believe her do you? She's a murderer I tell you, and all I wanted from her were those slippers that she stole from my sister in the first place.
8. (1994) I was next in line to be king, until my brother had a son. But I fixed things with my friends the hyenas, and they set a trap which killed both of them. At least I thought they were both dead, until Simba came back and challenged me for leadership of the pride. Then my hyena friends turned on me and killed me the way they should have killed him.
9. (1991) We were just trying to have fun, a weekend away where we could break out of the boredom and frustration of our lives. But when that horrible Harlan tried to rape Thelma I had to stop him. And when he kept being so crude and ignorant about it, I couldn't help myself, I shot him. We decided that anything was better than being locked up, so we set out for Mexico, running from the law. But things kept stacking up against us, and soon they had us cornered. So we drove off the cliff into the canyon, because anything was better than being locked up.
10. (1951) In life I was his partner, and I was as unfeeling and cold-hearted as he is now. This Christmas Eve, seven years after my death, I have come to visit him, to show him where the path he has chosen can lead, and teach him the real meaning of Christmas. I cannot accomplish this task alone, and have other ghosts to help me.
11. (1989) My name is Dr. Elsa Schneider, and I concealed my affiliation with the Nazis so that I could work on the search for the Holy Grail, and we found it. I died because I did not heed the knight's warning not to take the Grail past the Great Seal, and I fell into the crevice that opened up. I still might have lived, if I had let them pull me out, but I was so sure that I could reach the Grail, as it lay just beyond my grasp.
12. (1960) My name is Marion Crane, and I died because I picked the wrong motel to stay at, the Bates Motel. Of course I wouldn't have been there at all if I hadn't stolen that money that my boss asked me to deposit, which was really the wrong thing to do, but I was desperate to marry my boyfriend, who couldn't afford a new wife plus his alimony payments. I know now that it was the wrong thing to do, but being slashed to death in the shower seems a little harsh punishment...don't you agree?
13. (1997) My name is Jack Dawson, and I won my ticket back home in a card game. I met the girl of my dreams on the trip, and we fell in love, even though we were from different classes, and she was engaged to marry some one else. I think we would have had a good chance of living happily ever after too, if the ship hadn't struck an iceberg on its maiden voyage, and sunk. I froze to death in the icy waters, but my Rose lived on, and that's good enough for me.
14. (1985) Hi, I'm Roy Dennis, but people call me Rocky. I have a genetic disease that results in my skull and face being massively disfigured. It hasn't affected my intelligence though, and I get really great marks at school. The doctors have been telling my mom for years that I'm going to die, but she's heard that story so long that she doesn't listen to them anymore. But sooner or later they have to be right, and I die quietly in my sleep after going to bed with a headache.
15. (1977) Years ago I was a Jedi Knight, responsible for training Anakin, a powerful Jedi who was turned to the dark side of the force. I have been living a quiet life of seclusion for many years, but a distress call from Princess Leia has shown me that my services are once again needed. While rescuing Leia from the Death Star, I allow my old enemy to strike me down, so that I can become a more powerful force in the universe, and guide Luke in his growth.
