Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. A cloud passes in front of the moon. You hear the beating of huge wings above you. As you stare up in terror, you see a dark winged figure with two glowing red eyes in its chest glaring at you. What is it?
2. Footsteps behind you. You turn and it's a woman carrying what seems to be a large vegetable that looks sort of like an eggplant. She suggests that since it's night you should go off into the bushes and take a little nap. Something doesn't feel right. Who is this woman and why does she want you to sleep? Your subconscious tells you to run, but you're SO tired, and this woman looks harmless enough. Should you take a little catnap?
3. There's a crackling in the bushes. Suddenly an ant steps out on the road. But not just any ant. This thing is gigantic. It towers above you. And it's staring straight at you. You can run, but you know that in the end it won't matter. What 1950s horror movie, starring James Whitmore and James Arness, did this creature escape from?
4. The bright moon is blotted out. Another cloud? No - it's an old, ugly hag with wings, clothed in some kind of rotting gown. She's staring straight at you and she's emitting a horrible wail. It's a banshee. When they screech, it means someone is about to die, and it's probably going to be you. What 1959 Disney movie starring, among others, Sean Connery of James Bond fame, did she escape from?
5. Is that a dog howling that you hear? Or is it a coyote? Or maybe something worse? As you walk on you hear rustling in the bushes beside you. Whatever it is, it's following you. Suddenly a man-like creature jumps out of the bushes and blocks your path. The full moon makes it clearly visible. It's covered with hair and has a pair of fangs that that would scare a grizzly bear, and it looks like it's hungry. What should you do?
6. What's that behind you? Hoof beats. Now who would be riding a horse down a dark path at night? The horseman comes into view and he has no head. He's carrying something. It's a pumpkin and he's lifting it to throw at you. Too late to run. Better duck and hope he misses. Who starred in the 1999 release of "Sleepy Hollow"?
7. As you continue walking down your lonely country road, you come upon someone walking in your direction. He appears to be carrying an axe. Perhaps he's a woodsman. No, that's not wood he's carrying in his other hand. Looks like a human head. And he's wearing a hockey mask. Now why would a hockey player have an axe instead of a hockey stick? If you could tell me which horror franchise he wandered away from, perhaps I could give him directions back to his set.
8. As you meander down the country road, you pass close to a swamp. As you do, you see a creature rise up out of the swamp and walk toward you. He appears to be man-shaped, covered in green scales with bits of moss dripping off him. His hands are exceptionally large, with webbed fingers and claws. Instead of hair he has what appears to be gills down both sides of his face. Now what 1950s horror film do you suppose he has escaped from?
9. You have met so many unfriendly creatures along this country road, but here comes one who will certainly cheer you up. It's a clown. He must have lost his way from a nearby circus. But wait. This isn't just any clown. I recognize him now. He's the one from the Stephen King novel "It". I don't think he's going to be very friendly at all. But maybe if we are properly introduced, he won't bother me. Do you recall what his name was?
10. The country lane has grown quiet. Too quiet. I've seen enough horror films to know that this is not a good sign. "Thud". What was that? Another "Thud". And another "Thud". You can't believe your eyes. Standing in the path is what appears to be a 25-foot tall gorilla. And from the expression on his face I don't think he's in a good mood. Perhaps if I just slowly ease into these bushes over here, he won't notice me. This is obviously King Kong. We all know about his exploits climbing up the Empire State Building without a permit and generally making a real nuisance of himself in the Big Apple, but can you tell me where he originally came from?
