Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. From what classic film would you find the phrase 'I meddled in things that man must leave alone'?

Answer: The Invisible Man

It was stated that to be invisible, you had to be nude. But when Jack Griffin was chased into the snow, he left shoe prints, not bare footprints. This was known as a blooper.

2. What was the name of the last movie in which Boris Karloff played the Frankenstein's monster?

3. 'To die, to really be dead...that must be glorious.' What actor said these words in one of the early Universal classics?

7. In 'The Bride of Frankenstein', who played both The Bride and Mary Shelley?
