Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Name Stephen King's first collection of short stories.

Answer: Night Shift

"Night Shift" was Stephen King's first collection of short stories, and it was published in 1978. The collection contained twenty stories, some of which were first runs while the others were previously printed in various magazines. From those stories came six films such as "Children of the Corn" and "The Graveyard Shift", and a few made-for-television adaptations as well.
2. This 2006 movie was born from an illustrated children's book by the same title. Ben Stiller stars as a security guard, but this movie has some other headliners. From the list below, which is the correct title?

Answer: Night at the Museum

"Night at the Museum" is the correct answer. Stiller plays "Larry", a divorced dad with a lot to prove to his son. While working as a security guard, he learns the exhibits come to life at night. Other stars in this movie are Robin Williams, Mickey Rooney, Dick Van Dyke and Owen Wilson. The children's book titled "Night at the Museum" was written by Milan Trenc.
3. Name the 1994 movie starring Bruce Willis that involves suicide, murder and psychiatry.

Answer: Color of Night

The movie "Color of Night" stars Bruce Willis as a psychiatrist who witnesses the suicide of one of his patients. He develops psychosomatic colorblindness with the color red. Murders begin to happen around him. SPOILER: In the end he is able to stop a suicide attempt, thus putting an end to his color blindness.
4. The Moody Blues had this hit single in 1967. What is it?

Answer: Nights in White Satin

"Nights in White Satin" was the song by the English rock band The Moody Blues. The original album version was over seven minutes in length. The song featured an orchestra. During the orchestral section there was spoken poetry, written by the drummer Graeme Edge called Late Lament. In many of the shortened versions of the song, the poem is not heard.
5. Which U.S. rock band released the ballad "Sister Christian" in 1984?

Answer: Night Ranger

The band "Night Ranger" gets the credit for this one! "Sister Christian" was their biggest hit. It was written by drummer Kelly Keagy. His sister Christy gave him the inspiration for this tune. Night Ranger started out in 1982 and has had many members.
6. One of the most iconic zombie films, "Night of the Living Dead" was filmed in what year?

Answer: 1968

The year 1968 is the right answer. I am not big on date questions, but this movie is a classic. For this movie to be from 1968 is shocking! It was scary. Seems that modern-day movies, even thrillers, have a happy ending. I mean, someone lives. With this movie, it was shown at a time when thrillers could be at a matinee and was before the rating system. Young kids could attend. No one survived this flick. *shudder*
7. "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" was originally sung by which performer?

Answer: Vicki Lawrence

Bobby Russell wrote the song and his then-wife Vicki Lawrence was the original singer. The song was released in 1972. Tanya Tucker and Reba McEntire recorded it in 1981 and 1991 respectively. Vicki Lawrence's release reached number one on Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S.
8. In a book series that centers on a character named Lucas Davenport, which author included the title "Night Prey" in the line-up?

Answer: John Sandford

John Roswell Camp has written the "Prey" series under the pseudonym John Sandford. The fictional crime stories are set mainly in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He also has authored another series of books with Virgil Flowers as the central character.
9. Which artist is responsible for the hit song and album of the same name, "Night Moves", that was released in 1976?

Answer: Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band

Michigan native Bob Seger is the songwriter of this hit. The Silver Bullet Band was formed in 1974 and saw their biggest success in the '70s and '80s. "Night Moves" is considered Seger's breakout album in terms of national recognition. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.
10. Which artist painted "The Night Watch" in 1642?

Answer: Rembrandt

Rembrandt van Rijn, born in what is now known as Netherlands, was the artist of "The Night Watch". It was an oil painting on canvas. It was also known as "The Shooting Company of Frans Banning Cocq". An interesting note, this painting has had three acts of vandalism.

The first was in 1911 when it was slashed with a shoemaker's knife. The second was in 1975 when someone slashed it with a bread knife. The third time acid was sprayed on the painting.
