Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What was Regina and Sam's last name?

Answer: Belmont

 "Night of the Comet" was a teen zombie horror flick that was released in the U.S. in 1984. Two sisters were among the few survivors left on the planet after a colossal comet destroyed the human race. They had to fight against people who were turned into killer zombies after being exposed to the comet.

The movie starred Catherine Mary Stewart, Kelli Maroney, Robert Beltran, and Geoffrey Lewis.
2. Where was Regina and Sam's father stationed with the Green Berets?

Answer: Honduras

 Regina and Sam were living in Los Angeles with their step-mother, Doris, while their father was fighting in a war. Neither one of the girls got along with Doris because she flirted so much with their neighbor Chuck.
3. Where did Sam spend the night while the others viewed the comet?

Answer: Lawn storage shed

 Sam and Doris had a fight because Doris was flirting with Chuck. Doris punched Sam in the mouth, so Sam huffed off and spent the night in the lawn storage shed. Those who survived the comet were protected by steel, so they did not have any effects from the comet.
4. What happened to the people who were destroyed by the comet?

Answer: They were turned into orange calcium dust.

 The comet basically disintegrated the human bodies. All that was left of them was orange calcium dust. During the first rain following the comet, you could see clothes and orange dust being washed away into the sewers.
5. What holiday was this film centered around?

Answer: Christmas

 The Belmont house was all decorated for Christmas. You could also hear how many shopping days were left before Christmas several times on the tape broadcast by the radio station.
6. Hector met the girls at the radio station. He said that he spent the night in the back of his semi-truck with a girl he picked up hitchhiking. When they spotted a zombie, the girl freaked out and ran away. What type of animal did Hector say he saw the zombie eating?

Answer: cat

 Those who were exposed to the comet felt the disintegrating effects of it at a slow pace. They were turned into crazed zombies that would kill and eat anything.
7. Hector had to go to San Diego to check on his family. While he was at his mother's house, a boy who had been exposed to the comet tried to attack him. Who did Hector refer to this boy as?

Answer: Freak

 Hector was collecting photographs of his family when he heard growling sounds at his mother's front door. He opened the door, looked down, then slammed the door and said "you better watch it you freak".
8. While Regina was working at the movie theater she played a video game. She got so upset when she realized that someone else was playing the same game, because she wanted to be the only one to have her initials on there. What were the only other initials on the game?

Answer: DMK

 As we found out in the final scene of the movie, DMK stood for Danny Mason Keener. He was also a survivor of the comet and took Sam for a ride in one of his twenty-three cars.
9. What was the name of the crazy stock boy who chained the girls up in the basement of the department store?

Answer: Willy

 Willy and his co-workers had to work the night of the comet. They were exposed to the comet through the ventilation system and began to slowly deteriorate. Willy was on a power trip because he felt like he owned the store and needed to punish the girls for stealing from him.
10. What was the name of Regina's boss at the movie theater?

Answer: Mel

 Mel made Regina walk the house, which meant she would miss the comet. She didn't like to walk the house because kids threw Milk Duds at her.
11. Who was the first person to be killed on the morning following the comet?

Answer: Larry

 Larry and Regina spent the night in the projector room. The next morning, Larry was looking for a guy who he had loaned a bootlegged copy of a film to, when he was jumped in the alley by a zombie. Regina went out in the alley and found Larry. She then beat the zombie over the head and took off on Larry's motorcycle.
12. What was the working title for "Night of the Comet"?

Answer: Teenage Mutant Horror Comet Zombies

 When Sam was messing around in the radio station she could be heard saying she would take requests on the hitline from "all you teenage mutant comet zombies". This trivia information can be found in the trivia section of "Night of the Comet" page on imdb.com.
13. Which of the following actors starred as Dr. Carter?

Answer: Geoffrey Lewis

 Peter Fox portrayed Dr. Wilson, John Achorn portrayed Oscar, and Michael Bowen portrayed Larry. Geoffrey played the leader of the think tank group who were exposed to the comet. Geoffrey has done a lot of work as a character actor in such films as "Tango and Cash", "Double Impact", and "The Lawnmower Man". Geoffrey is the father of ten children, including actress Juliette Lewis.
14. Thom Eberhardt was listed as the only writer on this film.

Answer: True

Thom Eberhardt was the lone writer and director for this 1984 zombie classic. Other writing and directing projects that he has been credited with include "The Night Before", "Captain Ron" and "Sole Survivor".
15. Who did Audrey kill?

Answer: Oscar

 Audrey and several others from the think tank made the trip to Los Angeles to find survivors. She stayed behind with Oscar to see if Hector returned to the radio station so that they could take him back and use his body for the serum. Audrey killed Oscar because she didn't want to be responsible for taking anyone else back to the think tank where she knew they would all die.
