Zombies in the House Trivia Quiz

Answer: Tom

Tony (Jon Mikl Thor) disrupted an attempted robbery and was run over by a gang of teenagers (Bob, Amy, Jim, Peter, and Susie). His mother, Louise, contacted a voodoo priestess, Molly, who resurrected Tony as a zombie. Tony killed Peter and Susie at the gym. Police investigated and told Capt. Tom Churchman (Adam West) that Molly might have had something to do with it. Churchman called Molly a "batty voodoo palm reader" and nothing to worry about.

As the murders continued, Capt. Churchman knew more about what was happening than he told anyone.

Answer: To the graveyard

Johnny complained about making the long drive to the cemetery for his sister to visit their father's grave. Johnny said he couldn't remember what the old man looked like. His sister, Barbra, prayed at the grave, and Johnny said she did enough praying at church. Barbra replied, "I haven't seen you at church lately." Eventually, a zombie chased Barbra, so she coasted the car part of the way to the farm house.

She couldn't drive the car, because Johnny had the keys, and he had been knocked out at the cemetery.

Answer: Diamonds

In the movie "Zombies of Mora Tau" (1957) a treasure chest of diamonds was in a sunken vessel off the coast of Africa. The crew had drowned, but they became zombies who killed anyone trying to get the diamonds. When treasure hunters arrived, they were shown the graves of the people who tried to get the diamonds in the past. Two interesting things about this movie: the zombies were called the walking dead, and the opening credits included a printed message about "the twilight zone" between life and death.

Answer: Zombi 2

Susan swam underwater and saw a shark and an underwater zombie attack each other.

The movie was released various times as "Zombie Flesh Eaters", "Island of the Living Dead", "Zombie: The Dead Walk Among Us", "Nightmare Island", "Zombies 2", and "Woodoo".

Answer: They walked underwater.

This was another George Romero zombie movie. This movie featured people living in a walled city, with one side protected by a body of water instead of a wall. When they went outside the city on a supply run, the people distracted the zombies by shooting fireworks.

However, one zombie was more intelligent and wasn't fooled by fireworks anymore. He also discovered that he could walk underwater and get to the city. The other zombies followed him and hundreds of zombies attacked the people in the city.
