Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who is Darren Shan's geography teacher?

Answer: Mrs. Quinn

Mr. Dalton is also one of Darren's teachers.
2. Who does Steve Leonard bring along to go to the Cirque Du Freak show with him?

Answer: Darren Shan

To decide who went, Steve Leonard (often referred to as "Steve Leopard") tossed black papers in the air shaped like the ticket. Inside the bunch, one of them was the real one. Darren wins the ticket by closing his eyes and reaching blindly for the ticket.
3. Which out of these characters are NOT in the Cirque Du Freak show?

Answer: John Longfoot

Gertha Teeth is one of the Cirque Du Freak's female performers. She has incredibly strong teeth. Even when she was a baby, she bit off two of her father's fingers.
Rhamus Twobellies, said to have two bellies, can eat literally everything. He can also wrap forks and spoons around a chain inside his stomach.
Larton Crepsley's act includes a performing spider.
4. The Wolf Man bit off a woman's hand.

Answer: True

Everyone was told to be quiet while the Little People (the blue-hooded people) walked the Wolf Man across the isle. Though, some people were afraid, and yelled, causing the Wolf Man to bite off somebody's hand. Luckily for the woman, Mr. Tall, the owner of the Cirque Du Freak, could reattach her arm.
5. What is Vur Hortson's first name?

Answer: Larten

Steve recognizes one of the performers, Vur Hortson, or Larten Crepsley, as a vampire.
6. After the show, why did Steve sneak away to confront Mr. Crepsley?

Answer: to ask to become his assistant

Since Steve knew that Mr. Crepsley was a vampire, he was interested in becoming his assistant. He was rejected because Mr. Crepsley said his blood was evil. Darren eavesdropped, though, and found out Steve's vampiric wants. Afraid because Steve wanted to become such a "murderous" creature, Darren fled to his home instead of going back to Steve's house as scheduled.
(Madam Octa is Mr. Crepsley's performing spider.)
7. Darren steals Madam Octa.

Answer: True

Darren kept Madam Octa hidden away in his closet. He could control her through a flute and telepathically, as Mr. Crepsley did in the show. Darren was anxious to show Steve, so he invited him to his house to boast about Madam Octa and how he could control her. Annie, Darren's sister, barges in the room, throwing off his concentration. Madam Octa, now not being controlled, bites Steve, putting him into a coma-like state.
8. Steve dies.

Answer: False

Though Steve was in a coma-like state, Darren was confident he could find a cure and went back to Mr. Crepsley to see if he had the antidote. He did, but he would only give Darren the antidote on one condition: Darren had to become a half-vampire and become his assistant.

When Darren agrees to the terms, Larten "bloods" Darren, and cures Steve. Darren soon runs away from what he has become, but it's too late. He couldn't settle his vampiric urges, leading to him coming back to Larten.
9. How did Darren fake his death?

Answer: Larten snapped his neck and threw him out a window

After he is buried, Mr. Crepsley digs him up.
10. Steve vows to hunt down Mr. Crepsley and Darren when he is older.

Answer: True

Steve soon realized that Darren faked his death, feeling betrayed by his own friend.
