Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Jack Palance, Donald Pleasence and Martin Landau star in this 1982 forgotten horror film about a therapist and his family being terrorized in his home by some escaped mental patients. What is the name of this film?

Answer: Alone in the Dark

There is a power outage in New Jersey, and unfortunately four mental patients are able to escape through the electric doors of the mental hospital. They make their way to Dan Potter's house. Potter is their new doctor, whom they hold a grudge against for something they think he did. One of the taglines for this film is "When the lights go out the terror begins."
2. Frankie Avalon plays the role of a psychopath named Paul Foley who escapes from a mental institution, kills a hospital employee, then stalks a young crippled woman who got a blood transfusion from him. What is the name of this forgotten film?

Answer: Blood Song

The movie title makes sense when you consider that the killer carries a wooden flute with him that he plays before he murders someone. The alternate title to this film is called 'Dream Slayer'. The tagline is "When he whistles this tune...The time for killing begins."
3. This horror gem is about a killer who will appear if you say his name loud enough. Once he hears it, the violent murders begin. What is the name of this film?

Answer: Madman

Madman Marz murdered his family in a psychotic rage, and now inhabits the local wooded area waiting for victims. When a group of friends are camping and hanging out, one calls his name. This makes the killer come out of hiding to stalk and murder them one by one.
4. This horror anthology has five short stories. Some of the titles are 'Father's Day', 'Something to Tide You Over' and 'they're Creeping Up on You'. What's the name of this horror/comedy?

Answer: Creepshow

'Creepshow' has a cast of well known actors, including Ted Danson, Leslie Nielsen, Ed Harris, Hal Holbrook and Adrienne Barbeau. 'Father's Day' is about a rich old man who comes back from the dead to avenge his family members who are responsible for his death. 'Something to Tide You Over' is about a man who gets revenge on his cheating wife and her lover by burying them up to their necks near the shore so the tide will come in and drown them. What he doesn't plan on is them coming back from the dead for revenge on HIM! 'They're Creeping Up on You' is about a mean old man who lives like a hermit in his super clean, all white apartment.

His worst nightmare begins when his apartment becomes infested with cockroaches, and no matter how many he kills...more and more keep coming! The other two short films are called 'The Crate' and 'The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill' (in which Stephen King stars as the title role). George Romero directs this classic written by King.
5. Siamese-twin brothers set out to find the doctors who separated them so violently against their will and exact revenge on them in this campy 1982 horror gem. Which one of these films is it?

Answer: Basket Case

Frank Henenlotter is the director of this gory shock-fest that stars Kevin Van Hentenryck as Duane Bradley. Duane carries his deformed, violent twin brother Belial in a wicker basket and lets him do some evil doings to the people they want revenge on. This film spawned two sequels.
6. "A Crash Course In Terror!" is the tagline of this horror slasher about a group of college kids who stay at the dorm during the Christmas holiday, not knowing that there is a killer on campus. 'Death Dorm' and 'Pranks' are the alternate titles of this film. Which one?

Answer: The Dorm That Dripped Blood

Daphne Zuniga stars as Debbie. This film contains some very gruesome deaths, including a man getting beat with a spiked baseball bat, and a woman getting her head squashed with a car tire...to name a few. It is written and directed by Stephen Carpenter.
7. This 1982 classic is about an angry employee of the phone company who gets revenge on his enemies by creating a device that kills them when they answer the phone. What is the name of this film that stars Richard Chamberlain and John Houseman?

Answer: Bells

The alternate title of this film is 'Murder by Phone'. Whenever people answer their phone, a very loud high pitched sound fills their ears, makes them bleed, and fries their brains!
8. A beast on an island terrorizes two couples on vacation in this film that was on the Video Nasty list in the United Kingdom. The alternate title is called 'Nightmare Island'. Name this slasher.

Answer: The Slayer

One of the ladies whose name is Kay, has dreams that play out as intuitions for things to happen in her future. She informs the others on the island with her that she has been dreaming about that particular island and the evil it holds since she was a young child. Unfortunately they can't go anywhere due to the hurricane...and a monster begins offing them one by one.
9. Demi Moore stars in this 3-D horror gem about a post-apocalyptic world that is inhabited by a flesh eater. What is the name of this campy horror movie?

Answer: Parasite

A flesh eating parasite is causing havoc and murdering people. The government is behind the creature's creation in helping it become indestructible. A doctor along with a woman named Patricia Welles (Moore) work together to destroy the parasite before it's too late.
10. A group of soldiers were tortured and killed by Northerners during the Civil War. They vowed to get revenge before they were put to death. Many years later they rise from the dead as zombies hungry for human flesh! What is the title of this campy horror flick released by Troma?
