Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. (1995) Hi, I'm a ghost when you meet me, but once I was a real live boy, who caught a chill playing too long on his sled, and died. Now I live in my old family home with my three uncles, Stretch, Fatso and Stinkie, who are also ghosts. Life is pretty boring until Kat and her father move in to try and exorcise us, and then I find I really have a reason for wanting to live again.
2. (1995) My name is Ben Sanderson, and I have lost my job, and sold everything I've ever owned, and come to Las Vegas to drink myself to death. I'm very lucky to have hooked up with Sera, who although she doesn't approve of, or even understand what I'm doing, has agreed not to interfere or judge. Just as I've agreed not to judge the fact that she is a prostitute.
3. (1999) I am the Jedi Knight responsible for finding Anakin Skywalker. I know that he is the chosen one, and vow to train him even though the council does not feel that it is necessarily wise. I am killed by a Sith Lord, but before I die I make my apprentice promise to train young Anakin for me.
4. (1980) My name is Jack Torrance, and I took on the job of winter caretaker at the Overlook Hotel, and brought my wife and son up to the mountains for the winter. I thought it would be a great chance for me to work on my writing, and have a new start in life, but I soon learned that, 'all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'. A lot of people have died in this place over the years, and their ghosts are happy to come out and teach me the right way to handle my family. Too bad that little brat of mine tricked me in the maze. I would have taught him how to mind if I hadn't frozen to death.
5. (1942) My mate is well respected in the forest, and when my son was born everyone called him the Little Prince. Unfortunately, after a long, hard winter, I made a bad choice and took him to the meadow for some fresh, sweet grass. Tragically, I was shot by a hunter, and now my son must go and live with his father.
6. (1967) I suppose many would say that we deserved what happened to us. After all, for years we robbed banks and some would say that we were known for being particularly violent ourselves, although this part of our real past was not emphasized in the movie. But we were set up and ambushed, and from the number of times they shot us, it was sure obvious that they never intended to waste money on a trial.
7. (1975) I'm just a sweet transvestite from...well, you know the rest. Suffice it to say that I'm an extra-terrestrial, who's been performing experiments here on Earth. When the call comes from the home planet to return, I get very excited about seeing my homeland again, only to find that they have other plans for me. Riff Raff kills me with his laser, before he and Magenta head home.
8. (1990) My name is Sam Wheat, and I am very much in love with Molly. One night when we're walking home from the theatre, I am killed by a mugger who was trying to get my wallet. But it takes me a while to realize that I'm dead, and I start hanging around as a ghost. While I hang around I find that even though it was accidental, my best friend was behind my killing, and now Molly is in danger because they think that she has something that they need. It's a good thing I found Oda Mae, because she can hear me. Now all she has to do is convince Molly that she's for real.
9. (2002) My name is Colonel William McNamara, and I am a prisoner of war. I think nothing of sacrificing the life of one of my black officers, by having him framed for the murder of a bigoted white officer. The distraction that the trial will provide will give adequate cover for my real mission - an escape and attack on a nearby munitions factory. Everything is going as planned until Lt. Hart makes me understand what honour truly is, so I turn myself in once my mission is accomplished, so that the blame for the murder can rest where it really belongs. I am shot, by the camp commandant, who is furious by the way he's been tricked and manipulated.
10. (1980) My name John Merrick, and I was found, barely alive, in a circus freak show, back in the Victorian era. I suffered from horrific deformations, from what people now-a-days believe must have been Proteous Syndrome. The wonderful Dr. Treves rescued, and befriended me, helping me to regain some of the dignity that I lost after years of being gaped at. I die young all the same, at only 27 years of age, but at least I die in bed, with a roof over my head, and nice people calling me friend.
11. (2002) My name is Katelin Helinszki, although down in the cell block I am often referred to as the Hunyak. It's ironic really, that of all the women that danced the 'Cell Block Tango' with me, I am the only one who really protested my innocence, and yet I am the only one to hang for the murder I was found guilty of. I guess it's because I can't speak English very well, or I can't afford that lawyer Billy Flynn, the way that Velma and Roxie can.
12. (2000) My name is Trevor McKinney, and when challenged by a teacher to do something that will make a difference in the world, I come up with a scheme that actually does make a difference. I thought of a plan where people did three really nice things for other people, on the expectation that they in turn would do three really nice things for other people. I was thrilled when it caught on. So even though my life was cut short by a switchblade at school, I really did make a difference.
13. (1959) It doesn't matter what our names are, all you need to know is that we were gunned down by Spat's mob in a garage on Valentine's Day - in fact you could even say that we were a part of the Valentine's Day Massacre. The movie is about 2 down-on-their luck musicians who see the murder, and have to go into hiding to avoid being rubbed out themselves. They end up dressing up as women, and taking jobs in an all girls band headed for Florida. They figure they'll take off once they get there, but then one of them falls in love with the lead singer, and then Spats and the boys show up in Florida for a conference.
14. (1995) My name is Tracy Mills, my husband is a detective working on the case of a serial killer who is killing people off according to the seven deadly sins. Unfortunately I become a victim too, the killer's masterpiece as he sees it, because not only does he take my life, but the life of my unborn child.
15. (1999) My name is Dr. Malcolm Crowe, and I was shot by a disturbed former patient, the same night that I received a very prestigious award. Apparently he felt that I never helped him with his problem, which drove him crazy enough to take his own life at the time that he shot me. By way of atonement, I spent a great deal of time working with another patient who has the same problem - he sees dead people. It's not until I help him work through his issues that I realize that the shot I received was fatal, and I too am dead.
