Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. (2003)Once upon a time three boys were playing in the street. One boy, Dave, got into a car with a pair of child molesters and the other two did not. Dave managed to escape the child molesters, but was never able to scrub away the stain of what had been done to him. Years later, I was found beaten to death, and my father, one of the boys who didn't get into the car, became more and more convinced that his old buddy Dave had been the one to kill me. He even succeeded in making Dave confess to the crime before killing him and dumping his body. Sadly he soon learned that Dave had murdered a child molester, not me. I was killed by my boyfriend's younger brother, and his best friend.
2. (1988) It's a very weird feeling to wake up as ghosts, killed in a car accident shortly after you were married. However, it's even weirder when a loud, obnoxious family moves into your beautiful home, and nothing you do manages to make them leave. It's a good thing that the services of an even more obnoxious exorcist for the living exists, and to summon him, all you have to do is speak his name three times.
3. (2003) I was a thief, and a very good one at that. We were just celebrating our successful heist of $35 million in gold bars, when one of our party turned greedy and tried to kill us all. The rest of the gang managed to survive by submerging in the icy water, but I was hit by a bullet and died. I had indeed planned on making that my last job, but I'd really believed that I would have a nice, wealthy retirement. We got our revenge though, because with the assistance of my daughter, the other guys were able to steal all that gold back.
4. (2002) I'm Leon, a pimp who was shot by some guy with a high powered rifle and a laser scope. I was killed just because I tried to get that Stu Shepard guy off the phone so that my girls could use it. As meaningless as my death seemed to me, it sure convinced Stu that the other guy meant business, although it did almost get him killed by the police, because they believed that he'd killed me.
5. (2004) Once upon a time she worked for me, and we even conceived a child together, although I didn't learn that the child was mine until it was too late. When she tried to stop being an assassin and start a new life, I just couldn't let her go, so I arranged to have her killed on her wedding day. She didn't die, but since she was in a coma, I wasn't too worried about her. However she did wake up, and she made everyone involved in her wedding day massacre pay, most of us with our lives.
6. (2002) I am a burned-out, punch-drunk ex-fighter, who develops a child-like attachment to a children's television show host. This guy is so great and so honest that he should be an inspiration to all. Unfortunately his honesty won't allow him to be drawn into some illegal money-making schemes, and because of this there are a few people who want him out of the way, including that bum, Randolph Smiley, whom he replaced. Unfortunately when they try to kill him, they get me instead, because I am dressed in a similar costume.
7. (1995) I was just a commoner, living in Scotland hundreds of years ago, content to keep pretty much to myself, scratching out a living as best as I could. I had no interest in getting involved in Scotland's rebellion against the oppressive English, until they murdered my wife...then I became the biggest nightmare that they ever knew. They caught me in the end, and the method of my execution, one that was often meted out traitors, was a particular brutal one.
8. (1991) Radio disc jockey Jack Lucas made his reputation by being daring and controversial. One day he pushed a disturbed listener too far and the guy walked into a nightclub and opened fire. I died that night and my husband, who loved me very much, snapped. He became a street person, searching for the Holy Grail which he believed would help solve all of the world's problems. The only thing was, he believed that the Grail was resting in a millionaire's apartment. As luck would have it, he met up with Lucas, who was having a hard time dealing with his guilt. They were able to help each other become well.
9. (1998) I myself was never a key player in this movie, but it was because Quinn and Robin witnessed me being murdered by modern day pirates trying to steal my boat that they had to run for their lives. Robin was supposed to be on holidays with her boyfriend, but when the magazine that she worked for asked her to help them out of a fix, she had trouble saying no. This meant that she had to fly to a neighbouring island with Quinn, a man she couldn't stand. Unfortunately they were caught up on a storm and crashed on a deserted island, which is where they were when they saw the pirates kill me. Unfortunately, the pirates saw them too.
10. (2001) My friend Rafe and I grew up together, learned to fly together, and enlisted together. When Rafe was declared missing in action in Europe, his girlfriend Evelyn and I found comfort together, and ended up falling in love. This made things a little awkward when Rafe returned, particularly since Evelyn was pregnant with my child. The attack on the U.S. by the Japanese put our problems in perspective, and we were both called upon to fly a dangerous, secret mission. I was killed on that mission, which left Rafe and Evelyn free to marry, and raise my son.
11. (1968) Many interpretations (both live and on film) have been made about our classic love story, which was originally told by the bard himself. Young as we were, we dared to love, even though our families were mortal enemies. We ended up killing ourselves, rather than face a life without each other, but that was only after a scheme to fake one of our deaths went horribly wrong.
12. (1990) I am only a character in a series of romance novels, a series that my creator, Paul Sheldon, was sick of writing. So he killed me off to end the series, and wrote the kind of novel that he really wanted to write. Unfortunately he had a car accident while driving in a blizzard. He was found by his number one fan, a nurse who was in love with me and the series about me. She was more than a little upset to find that I'd been killed off, and gave poor Paul all kinds of misery, until he brought me back to life.
13. (1999) For centuries people have debated about whether I really was chosen by God, or if perhaps I was just schizophrenic. I know which one I believe, and you will have to decide for yourselves. I was only 13 years old when I had my first vision, and I knew that I had to lead my people in their struggle against the oppressive English. I have often been referred to as the Maid of Orleans because it was under my leadership that our troops succeeded in freeing that place. I was captured by the English (although some say I was betrayed by my king) and tried as a witch. I was burned at the stake in 1431, when I was only 19 years of age.
14. (1988) As an eye witness who can identify one of the thieves who recently pulled a jewel heist, I am at risk from another member of the group who is trying to kill me to eliminate my testimony. What really bothers me about this is that the idiot who is trying to kill me keeps killing my precious dogs instead. He finally succeeds in offing me, because when he kills my third dog, I cannot take the stress anymore and die of a heart attack.
15. (1996) My name is Julie McCann, and I was only 17 years old when I was raped and murdered by a delivery man who was dropping off food for my younger sister's birthday party. I was talking to my mother on the phone when it happened, and she had to listen to it all on her cell phone, while she was stuck in a traffic jam. The guy who killed me was released on a technicality, and when he killed another woman, my mother decided to take matters into her own hands. She took her time and made sure that she had the training she needed, before luring him into the house. He thought it would be easy to kill her, to get her off of his back but she turned the tables and shot him, as an intruder in our home. Go mom!
