Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. 1960 Hitchcock film. Bates Motel. Shower?

Answer: Psycho

This question is like when you know what the 100 dollar answer on Jeopardy will be when the category is revealed.

2. Which 1963 Alfred Hitchcock movie starred Tippi Hedren?

Answer: The Birds

Tippi Hedren played Melanie Daniels in the 1963 horror movie - where the birds began to attack the movie's characters. It's difficult to find trivia that's not instantly recognizable for Hitch's SECOND most terrifying movie. You HAVE to be good when this movie is second!

3. What type of cameo does Alfred Hitchcock make in 'The Birds'?

Answer: Leaving a pet shop with 2 Terriers

The Reducto ad was from Lifeboat 1944, The class photo from Dial M For Murder 1954, and playing cards from Shadow Of A Doubt 1943.

4. Which actor starred in the original 1968 'The Planet Of The Apes'?

Answer: Charlton Heston

The original and best of the series.

5. What is the name of the low budget 1961 William Castle flick that is a direct rip off of 'Psycho'?

Answer: Homicidal

It is a good scary movie, with a fright brake in case you wanted to leave the theater before the chilling ending. 1964's 'Night Walker' did have 'Psycho' author Robert Bloch as screenwriter. 'Repulsion' is Roman Polanski's 1965 film considered second to 'Psycho' for psychological horror. 'Dementia 13' is Francis Ford Coppolla's first mainstream film, from 1963.

6. What 1962 Robert Aldrich movie united aging movie queens Bette Davis and Joan Crawford with disturbingly frightening results?

Answer: What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?

The 1962 film starred Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Aldrich's 1965 'Hush...Hush Sweet Charlotte' also starred Bette Davis. In 1969, he produced 'Aunt Alice' with Geraldine Page and Ruth Gordon, and 1971's 'Auntie Roo' starred Shelley Winters.

7. Which monster movie is not a Godzilla battle from the 1960s?

Answer: Godzilla vs Biollante

Answer: Frank Sinatra

A truely classic film about brain washing, espionage, and assassinations.

9. What was the name of Boris Karloff's film in 1968, that he considered to be his last film? (Even though it was not his last film.)

Answer: Targets

He plays a classic horror star disgusted with modern horror films who is targeted by a killer. He did make 4 other 'quickie' Mexican horror movies, but he considered this his last film.

10. What is the name of the 1960 British movie in which the children of a small town are endowed with telepathic and kinetic powers?

Answer: Village of the Damned

A statement about the generation gap. 'A Touch Of Evil' is a strange Orson Welles film from 1958, which I feel is overrated. 'Carnival Of Souls' is a low budget 1962 ghost story. 'Rosemary's Baby' is the creepy 1968 Roman Polanski film about Satanist, produced by William Castle.

11. Tony Curtis starred in this 1968 movie based on a true story?

Answer: The Boston Strangler

He played Albert DeSalvo who murdered 13 women in Boston from 1962-64. A black and white version of 'Jack The Ripper' was released in 1958. 'Peeping Tom' is Micheal Powell's 1960 thriller, and 'Helter Skelter' was a 1976 movie (made for TV?) starring Steve Railsback as Charles Manson.

12. Which of the following is not a William Castle horror movie from the 1960s?

Answer: The Pit and the Pendulum

'The Pit' is a 1961 Roger Corman film. Castle made '13 Ghosts' in 1960, 'Strait Jacket' in 1963 and 'Homicidal' in 1961.

13. What is the premise of 1966's 'Fantastic Voyage'?

Answer: Injecting miniaturized people into the human body

Watch out for those white blood cells!

14. Which movie features Ray Harryhausen generated dinosaurs trying to eat cowboys?

Answer: Valley of Gwangi

The 1968 movie is based on a script by King Kong's FX guy Willis O'Brien, Harryhausen's mentor. An interesting concept, mixing the Old West with pre-historic dinosaurs.

15. Which film does not come from the Hammer House of Horrors?

Answer: Night of the Living Dead

'Night of the Living Dead' is, of course, George Romero's 1968 U.S. classic about revitalized corpses seeking human flesh. 'Taste The Blood Of Dracula'(1970) from Hammer, has a brief appearance by Christopher Lee. 1969's 'Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed' is a Hammer-Peter Cushing movie, as is 'The Gorgon' (1964) with Christopher Lee.
