Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Christopher Lloyd starred in this made-for-TV movie which had two short stories titled 'The Body Politic' and 'Chattery Teeth'. What was the name of this 1997 movie that eventually got released on video?

Answer: Quicksilver Highway

Lloyd played the title character in this movie, which was directed by Mick Garris. A woman on her honeymoon was waiting for her husband to get back after their car broke down on a deserted highway. Aaron Quicksilver (Lloyd) came to her aid and began telling her these two scary tales while they waited for her husband to get back from going for help. 'The Body Politic' was written by Clive Barker, and 'Chattery Teeth' was written by Stephen King.
2. This 1975 flick was about a farmer who wound up turning into a werewolf after being shocked by a big jolt of electricity. This happened to him at the site of a concert after the show was over. What was the title of this made for television gem that starred Tige Andrews?

Answer: The Werewolf of Woodstock

The farmer hated hippies so much, so when he wound up changing into a werewolf, he made a starting out band of hippie musicians his target. One hilarious scene involved the werewolf kidnapping a girl and driving off with her in a dune buggy! This classic little gem was produced by Dick Clark.
3. The very eerie made-for-TV horror thriller 'Don't Go to Sleep' (1982) had a scene where Laura (played by Valerie Harper) was on the phone calling for help after she discovered someone had been murdered. The killer made their way down the stairs and cut the phone wire while Laura was in the middle of the call. Which weapon was used to cut the wire in this particular scene?

Answer: A pizza cutter

This very creepy and memorable film starred Valerie Harper and Dennis Weaver. An accident caused their oldest daughter's death, which the family had a very hard time dealing with. The younger daughter Mary had been seeing and talking to the spirit of her dead sister Jennifer. Soon after, members of the family started turning up dead. Who was the killer? I tried my best to describe the infamous "pizza cutter" scene without giving too much away...because those who have not seen this film should hunt it down and check it out.
4. The year 2002 gave us a television remake of the classic 1976 film titled 'Carrie'. While a lot of the film was quite similiar to the original, there were also a few major differences in the story. It had a full star studded cast of well known actors. Who played the role of Carrie White?

Answer: Angela Bettis

I don't want to spoil the flick for anyone who has not seen this and plans to, but I will say that this movie had a different ending than the original. Angela Bettis played the the title role. Other stars who appeared were Patricia Clarkson, Rena Sofer, Katharine Isabelle, David Keith, Jasmine Guy, and Jodelle Micah Ferland to name a few.
5. In this made-for-TV horror thriller, Richard Crenna starred as a family man named Mike Barry. After their family pet died, the Barry family bought an adorable puppy from a street vendor. Unfortunately for them, the pup seemed to possess some very strange and dangerous powers. What was the name of this film?

Answer: Devil Dog: The Hound of Hell

As it turned out, the vendor who sold the puppy to the Barry family was actually a satanist. He bred and sold puppies who were possessed due to an evil ceremony that was conducted while they were born. The whole purpose was for the dog to do evil things to it's owners, with the hopes of spreading evil throughout the world. Kim Richards also starred as Mike's daughter Bonnie.
6. 'Snowbeast' was a made for television flick that came out in 1977. It starred Bo Svenson and was about victims being terrorized at a winter carnival located at a ski resort in Colorado. What exactly was it that was killing the skiers at the resort?

Answer: Bigfoot

Bo Svenson played a former Olympic gold winner named Gar Seberg. Him and his wife returned to their ski resort home so he could look for a job. After they arrived, they found out that there were several people missing, and were found to be slayed by a wild animal. The beast turned out to be a Yeti, hence the name 'Snowbeast'.
7. This horror trilogy has been known to cause some scares. It came out in the year 1975 and starred actress Karen Black, who played in all three of the short films. One in particular that stood out was about an African doll that came to life and tormented her. Name this movie.

Answer: Trilogy of Terror

The three stories were all named after the women they were about, and all of them were played by Karen Black. 'Julie', 'Millicent/Therese', and last but not least...'Amelia', which was the best of the three. 'Amelia' was about a woman who purchased an African Zulu doll for her boyfriend. If the small chain attached to the doll happened to be removed or fall off for some reason, it would come to life and react very violently. So I'm sure you can imagine what happened next.

A sequel to this movie was released in 1996.
8. A young lawyer was sent to settle the estate of a deceased old woman who lived in the town of Crythin in this 1989 creeper. Whenever he tried to find out any information about the old widow, the townspeople were pretty tight lipped about discussing anything about her, plus everyone seemed scared to go anywhere near her creepy mansion. What was the name of this scary made-for-TV flick?

Answer: The Woman in Black

Something very evil was lurking about the creepy, dreary estate, as well as a dark legacy. Unfortunately Arthur Kidd was about to find out some horrible secrets, as well as who the woman in black was. This creepy TV movie spawned a theatrical remake that starred Daniel Radcliffe as the young lawyer named Arthur Kipps.
9. Actors Tim Matheson and Brooke Adams starred in a 1991 made for television flick about a man who returned to his old hometown with his family. Once there, he began being harassed by teens...but not just any teens. They were teenagers that murdered his brother, and died as well while he was still a little boy. What was the name of this movie?

Answer: Sometimes They Come Back

This film was based on a short story by horror icon Stephen King. Two sequels followed that went straight to video called 'Sometimes They Come Back...Again'(1996) and 'Sometimes They Come Back...For More'(1998).
10. This film came out on television in 1978. It starred Linda Blair and was about a teenager named Rachel, who suspected her cousin Julia of being a witch after she came to live with Rachel and her family. Wes Craven directed this lost classic. Name the film.

Answer: Stranger in Our House

After Julia arrived at the Bryant household, strange things happened. Bad things. Rachel suspected her cousin of practicing black magic in order to get what she wanted...and also to take away things that were very important to Rachel. This film, which also starred Lee Purcell as Julia, was also released with the alternate title 'Summer of Fear'.
