Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In "Damn Yankees", a frustrated baseball fan sells his soul to a fast talking devil played to perfection by Ray Walston. What name did this hellish schemer go by?

Answer: Mr. Applegate

Gwen Verdon was fantastic as the devil's henchwoman and, along with
Bob Fosse's choreography, she brought the house down with "Whatever
Lola Wants". A boyish Tab Hunter played Joe, Applegate's victim.
"Damn Yankees" was released on film in 1958 after a long run on Broadway.

2. In 1981's "The Devil and Max Devlin", a dead Max strikes a deal with the devil. If Max can get three innocent souls to sell out to the evil one, Max gets a second chance at life. What name was the dealin' devil using in this film?

Answer: Barney Satin

Bill Cosby played Mr. Satin and Elliot Gould took the role of Max.
Devlin's job got complicated when, as payment for his soul, a seven
year old demands that Max marry his mother.

3. In "Devil's Advocate" (1997), we have a witty, articulate, very convincing devil in the form of Al Pacino. What name was Old Nick using this time?

Answer: John Milton

By using John Milton as his alias, the devil was paying the epic poet
a nod of appreciation. After all, it is generally agreed that Satan
had all the good lines in "Paradise Lost".

Answer: Max von Sydow

Max von Sydow has played some interesting, and contradictory roles.
In 1993. he was Leland Gaunt. In 1965, he was Jesus in "The Greatest Story Ever Told". He played Father Merrin in "The Exorcist" and Mingthe Merciless, in "Flash Gordon". Max does have a face that could go either way.

5. Jack Nicholson had a ball playing the "horny little devil" in "The Witches of Eastwick". What name did Jack go by as he romanced Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer?

Answer: Daryl Van Horne

Alexandra Medford (Cher) had this great little speech after her first encounter with Daryl. "I think...no, I am positive...that you are the most unattractive man I have ever met in my entire life. You know, in the short time we've been together, you have demonstrated EVERY loathsome characteristic of the male personality, and even discovered a few new ones. You are physically repulsive, intellectually retarded; you're morally reprehensible, vulgar, insensitive, selfish, stupid; you have no taste, a lousy sense of humor and you smell. You're not even interesting enough to make me sick." Guess she told him.

6. Stephen King has more than a nodding acquaintance with the devil. "The Stand" produced a remarkable incarnation of evil. What was his name?

Answer: Randall Flagg

"The Stand" was a great read and and the video wasn't bad either. It stuck pretty closely to the book and the cast was excellent. Jamey Sheridan, alias Randall Flagg, alias the Walkin' Dude is now Captain James Deakins on "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" (TV, 2001).

7. In "Oh God, You Devil" (1984), George Burns took on the double role of playing God and the devil. What name did the devil use while trying to ensnare a desperate singer?

Answer: Harry O. Tophat

The story is fairly predictable. The charm of the film lies with the
conversations between the Burns God and the Burns devil.

8. "The Devil and Daniel Webster" (1941), gave Walter Huston the chance to really mug it up as he tried to steal the soul of the great Daniel Webster, played by Edward Arnold. What was the devil's name in this film classic?

Answer: Mr. Scratch

Taken from a short story by Stephen Vincent Benet, "The Devil and Daniel Webster" tells the tale of a poor farmer who sells his soul
to the devil for seven years of good fortune. When Scratch comes to
collect, Daniel Webster bets his soul that he can get the poor farmer acquitted in a trial...provided the jury consists of Americans. The devil takes the bet but he gets to pick the jurors...the scum of the Americans in hell.

Answer: Nick

Muni was fairly successful in this comedy and Rains went on to play an angel in "Here Comes Mr. Jordan".

10. What was the Lovecraftian-type devil in Stephen King's "It" known as? (This devil came from outer space.)

Answer: Pennywise

Pennywise was the clown form this evil thing often took. Though this shape was frightening, the real "It" was far more gruesome.
