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?

Answer: Bela Lugosi

Bela turned down the role of Frankenstein's monster because the part had no dialogue. He later played that very role, though, in 'Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman.'

4. Universal teamed up Boris and Bela in such movies as 'The Raven' and 'The Black Cat', but what other classic were they both in that was not done by Universal?

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