Question 1 of 10

1. PLOT: The setting is a '50s movie theatre. The patrons are an array of geeks, hicks, a big bossy girl and her mousy boyfriend, and a drunk! While innocently watching a serial called "Space Patrol", an alien unknowingly invades the theatre, and kills off the theatre employees before starting on the unsuspecting movie-goers!

What do you think they called this work of art?

(I don't care how late the slaughter happened, somebody should have seen something!) Hint

Midnight Movie Massacre

Mrytle and Morty's Matinee Makeout

The Space Monster Who Hated Popcorn

Martian Moviehouse Slaughter

NEXT>

Question 2 of 10

2. PLOT: New York Police (where else?) laugh off reports of a flying monster on city rooftops. But people start disappearing and headless bodies show up. The deaths resemble ritual killings by an ancient Aztec monster. An unemployed, ex-con, piano player knows where the monster lives but tells nobody as he thinks he can make some easy cash from it. (Always poor New York! Why never Pittsburgh or Tallahassee?)

From the plot information, what would be a good title for this movie?

(This flying monster's name starts with a seldom used letter.) Hint

The Aztec Creature Eats The Big Apple

Quetzalcoatl: The Ancient Carnivore

The New York Monster Alphabet Killings

Q: The Winged Serpent

NEXT>

Question 3 of 10

3. PLOT: The Evil Empire of the Spider God rules the Earth. Tauren, Earth's only hope, fights the Empire but is killed. But Tauren prepared for this by fathering many sons, hoping one would rise to save Earth. This son IS born (who'd have thunk it?) and becomes a great warrior. He knows not of his fate, but the Spider God steals his bride-to-be at their wedding. Time for revenge!

What is the title given to this B-movie bomb?

(He better be 'this' because he has no sons to take over!) Hint

The Spider God Wedding Crasher

Offspring of Tauren

Revenge of the Son of Tauren

Ator The Invincible

NEXT>

Question 4 of 10

4. PLOT: Sanguine-seeking swamp slugs feed off steroidal swimmers who take a dip in a local swimhole. Some of the creatures hitchhike back to the college on them. Drinking their fill of steroid laced blood, they grow, and grow, until swimmers start turning up dead while the creatures lay siege to the entire campus! Despite this, some athletes worry more about news of their steroid usage getting out than of being killed!

And the title of this intriguing B-spoof is?

(Forget the movie and let's go fishing! I've got the bait!) Hint

Leeches

Campus of Death

Don't Go in the Pool!

'B' is for Bloodsucker!

NEXT>

Question 5 of 10

5. PLOT: High school student and avid horror movie fan, Bill, sees a UFO fly over his town. Bill alerts a team from SETI (Society for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) and they discover where the ship has landed. The ship's pilot is an alien vampire creature who plans on sucking up all the sunlight so that he and his vampire people can take over. Will Bill and the others be able to keep the sun shining? (TRILLIONS of black planets in the universe but Nnnooo, this weirdo has to pick Earth!)

Well folks, what do you think the title of the movie is?

(The title suggests there's lots of them when there's only one. Duh!) Hint

Plan 9 From Outer Space

Doomed to Darkness

Count Dracula's Final Payback

Teenage Space Vampires

NEXT>

Question 6 of 10

6. PLOT: Kyron-5 is a security system that rules the world. A fellow named Brooklyn and his gang fight hard against it, but all are killed except Brooklyn and his buddy Babe. Babe falls into a vat of green goo and becomes a cybernetic villain, leaving Brooklyn to shed his phobia about cockpits so he can pilot mankind's last hope, a massive war machine designed years before!

From the following four great titles, which one was the movie released under?

(Put "to the" in the middle of the machine's acronym title name, and it gives you a clue as to what it might take to get people to pay to see this junk-o.) Hint

"GUNHED" (Gun UNit Heavy Elimination Device)

"WOFFOR" (Will Our Forces Fight Or Run)

"BADGUN" (Big Aerial Defense GUN)

"THESIS" (THE Security Intelligence Slaughter)

NEXT>

Question 7 of 10

Two ambitious criminals dupe foreign leaders into paying them zillions to stop the attacks, while the President gathers staff and brilliant scholars in an attempt to discern whether it's terorism or really an alien attack! (I'm laughing so hard I can barely type!)

Which of the following titles best fits this production?

(Where would the Z-movie industry be without these types of creatures?) Hint

Machete Monsters from Beyond

Mark of the Astro-Zombies

Dr. Destroyo: Alien Surgeon of Doom

Organ Thieves from Nebula 9

NEXT>

The invention comes just in time, as a disgruntled engineer has planted nuclear bombs in several places and threatens to wipe out the country. The robot has to take on a pimp and a motorbike gang who've captured the bomber for their own evil doings!

Can you choose the title of this intense crime drama?

(Sounds 'robotically cool' to me.) Hint

The Crimefighter Experiment

Unexpected Hero

Justice Hits Back

Cyber-C.H.I.C.

NEXT>

Question 9 of 10

Fur Flies in the Capitol Building

Ronald Reagan Returns

The Werewolf of Washington

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. PLOT: The setting is a '50s movie theatre. The patrons are an array of geeks, hicks, a big bossy girl and her mousy boyfriend, and a drunk! While innocently watching a serial called "Space Patrol", an alien unknowingly invades the theatre, and kills off the theatre employees before starting on the unsuspecting movie-goers! What do you think they called this work of art? (I don't care how late the slaughter happened, somebody should have seen something!)

Answer: Midnight Movie Massacre

Released in the U.S. in May, 1988, "Midnight Movie Massacre" was later released with the video title "Attack From Mars". Directed by Laurence Jacobs (sound editor for six, count 'em SIX, episodes of t.v.'s "Eight Is Enough"), it starred Robert Clarke (150+ t.v. and movie roles) and Ann Robinson (cameo in 2005 production of "War of the Worlds"). Clarke later expressed disdain for his poor judgment at being part of the 'project'.

2. PLOT: New York Police (where else?) laugh off reports of a flying monster on city rooftops. But people start disappearing and headless bodies show up. The deaths resemble ritual killings by an ancient Aztec monster. An unemployed, ex-con, piano player knows where the monster lives but tells nobody as he thinks he can make some easy cash from it. (Always poor New York! Why never Pittsburgh or Tallahassee?) From the plot information, what would be a good title for this movie? (This flying monster's name starts with a seldom used letter.)

Answer: Q: The Winged Serpent

"Q: The Flying Serpent" would be the title, as the clue points out that the monster can fly. Released to theatres in October 1982, and directed by Larry Cohen of the "It's Alive" trilogy fame, the movie actually served up a notable cast of actors. Michael Moriarity stars as the loser who tries cashing in on the creature's whereabouts.

He is joined by David Carradine and Richard Roundtree as the detectives, and Candy Clark as the inevitable woman who is torn between the truth and her love for a loser.

3. PLOT: The Evil Empire of the Spider God rules the Earth. Tauren, Earth's only hope, fights the Empire but is killed. But Tauren prepared for this by fathering many sons, hoping one would rise to save Earth. This son IS born (who'd have thunk it?) and becomes a great warrior. He knows not of his fate, but the Spider God steals his bride-to-be at their wedding. Time for revenge! What is the title given to this B-movie bomb? (He better be 'this' because he has no sons to take over!)

Answer: Ator The Invincible

This 'son' HAD to be invincible! Why? If he got killed there was nobody to save us and they'd have to make a (GULP!) sequel! So "Ator The Invincible" was born and thank goodness for us, saved the world! So bad that the producers couldn't decide on a title, it was released in Italy as "Ator L'invincible" in 1982, and in the USA as "Ator, The Fighting Eagle" in 1983.

The film resembled a cheap remake of "Conan The Barbarian", which was a difficult achievement considering "Conan The Barbarian" itself turned out to be a B-movie bomb.

4. PLOT: Sanguine-seeking swamp slugs feed off steroidal swimmers who take a dip in a local swimhole. Some of the creatures hitchhike back to the college on them. Drinking their fill of steroid laced blood, they grow, and grow, until swimmers start turning up dead while the creatures lay siege to the entire campus! Despite this, some athletes worry more about news of their steroid usage getting out than of being killed! And the title of this intriguing B-spoof is? (Forget the movie and let's go fishing! I've got the bait!)

Answer: Leeches

Don't you think that on a big college campus, at least ONE person would notice big black leeches swimming in a completely clear pool? Trash director David DeCoteau managed to get this into theatres in August 2003 with the tagline, "They Will Bleed You Dry!" It seems the only thing bled dry were the ones who got suckered into paying to see it.

It 'stars' Matthew Twining (several episodes of soap opera "One Life to Live") and Josh Henderson (three times on "CSI: Crime Scene Investigations").

5. PLOT: High school student and avid horror movie fan, Bill, sees a UFO fly over his town. Bill alerts a team from SETI (Society for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) and they discover where the ship has landed. The ship's pilot is an alien vampire creature who plans on sucking up all the sunlight so that he and his vampire people can take over. Will Bill and the others be able to keep the sun shining? (TRILLIONS of black planets in the universe but Nnnooo, this weirdo has to pick Earth!) Well folks, what do you think the title of the movie is? (The title suggests there's lots of them when there's only one. Duh!)

Answer: Teenage Space Vampires

"Teenage Space Vampires". What else? Except there's no teenagers who are space vampires and no 'vampires', only one 'vampire'. Filmed in Romania and produced in Canada, it was unleashed in the US in 1999. The producer of the television series "Stargate: Atlantis", "The Sanctuary", and "Stargate SG-1", Martin Wood, directed this farce that stars Canadian Robin Dunne of "The Sanctuary" productions, and Mac Fyfe, another young Canadian actor with several decent productions to his name.

6. PLOT: Kyron-5 is a security system that rules the world. A fellow named Brooklyn and his gang fight hard against it, but all are killed except Brooklyn and his buddy Babe. Babe falls into a vat of green goo and becomes a cybernetic villain, leaving Brooklyn to shed his phobia about cockpits so he can pilot mankind's last hope, a massive war machine designed years before! From the following four great titles, which one was the movie released under? (Put "to the" in the middle of the machine's acronym title name, and it gives you a clue as to what it might take to get people to pay to see this junk-o.)

Answer: "GUNHED" (Gun UNit Heavy Elimination Device)

"GUNHED"!(Gun UNit Heavy Elimination Device). Like the clue suggests, put "to the" between GUN & HED (GUN to the HED} and that's what it probably took to get people into the theatre! It hit U.S. screens August 1996 with the Japanese title "Ganheddo" still attached. Directed by Masato Harada, it stars Masahiro Takashima as Brooklyn (you don't see many Japanese actors with a handle like 'Brooklyn'), and a host of other Asian actors who all had movie names that started with 'B'. (I don't get it either, but thought you just HAD to know that!)

7. PLOT: Aliens operate on people, replacing their brains with computer chips, and their organs with synthetic ones. Dozens of mutants, armed with machetes (yep!), are attacking citizens! Two ambitious criminals dupe foreign leaders into paying them zillions to stop the attacks, while the President gathers staff and brilliant scholars in an attempt to discern whether it's terorism or really an alien attack! (I'm laughing so hard I can barely type!) Which of the following titles best fits this production? (Where would the Z-movie industry be without these types of creatures?)

Answer: Mark of the Astro-Zombies

You can't have a 'Z'-movie (B-movie) quiz without Zombies! "Mark of the Astro-Zombies" found its way to the big screen in April 2002 with the taglines, "See: Alien Abductors Experiment on Hapless Humans!" & "See: Machete-Wielding Monsters Create Panic in the Streets!" Ted V. Mikels wrote and directed.

The starring role was played by Tura Satana, who last worked with Rob Zombie on his production of "The Haunted World of El SuperBeasto". (Now there's a movie I've just HAVE TO SEE!)

8. PLOT: Assigned to break up a drug-smuggling ring, Dr. von Colon has created a crime-fighting robot that looks like a beautiful model. The invention comes just in time, as a disgruntled engineer has planted nuclear bombs in several places and threatens to wipe out the country. The robot has to take on a pimp and a motorbike gang who've captured the bomber for their own evil doings! Can you choose the title of this intense crime drama? (Sounds 'robotically cool' to me.)

Answer: Cyber-C.H.I.C.

Was director Ed Hanson trying to grab some of "Robocop's" fame when he came up with "Cyber-C.H.I.C."? No one knows. The original star who played the robotic crimefighter, Kathy Shower, actually quit the film before it was even finished, leaving Burt Ward (the bomber) to work with another actress who impersonated her. (Yep! Burt Ward, the guy who played t.v.'s Robin in the original "Batman"). How bad was this movie? The actress that filled in for Kathy Shower didn't even get her name in the closing credits because they didn't have any money to add it!

9. PLOT: After having an affair with the President's daughter, a reporter is banished to Hungary. While there, he is bitten by a werewolf. Somehow, he gets transferred back to Washington to become the new press secretary for the President. Then bodies start turning up all over Washington D.C. (EASY stomach... don't turn over now... eeeeasy...) Which of the following titles would be good for a film of this calibre? (Lon Chaney unleashed in the capital? Oh Oh! that spells trouble!)

Answer: The Werewolf of Washington

Could you really picture Lon Chaney doing the role of the Wolfman in Washington? "The Werewolf of Washington" came to theatres in October 1973 and was directed by Milton Moses Ginsberg. Ginsberg actually won an Oscar once for the documentary, "Down and Out in America", which I think he ended up being after seeing the receipts for this bomb.

It starred Dean Stockwell ("The Rainmaker" and "Air Force One") in the main role.

10. PLOT: A cyborg race takes humans from the future to use as slaves. Also, they use dinosaurs from the past to use as slave trackers. A slave named "Runaway", a karate expert, escapes and makes his way to present-day Los Angeles. Fighting for freedom, he fends off dino-trackers sent to find him, the police, and the government. But fear not! A former hooker-turned-nun who runs a halfway house befriends him and offers him help! (Who writes this stuff?) To end the misery, tell me what the filmmakers named the production? (Why did they name it this if it's set in "present-day" Los Angeles?)

Answer: Future War

"Runaway", the slave's name, is actually a good metaphor for what you should do when you're considering watching 1997's "Future War". Daniel Bernhardt of "Bloodsport" and "Mortal Kombat" fame stars as "Runaway", with the huge chinned Robert Z'Dar (check him out on the net, you'll understand what I mean) as the Cyborg Master.

The director was Anthony Doublin, whose biggest claim to fame in the world of moviemaking is the "Robot Chicken" flicks.
