Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of these films did not feature both Karloff and Lugosi?

Answer: Isle of the Dead

'Isle of the Dead' featured Karloff as a Greek officer trying to thwart a deadly plague. In 'The Raven' Lugosi is the villain, in 'The Black Cat' the villain is Karloff. Both have nothing to do with the Poe short stories. Black Friday is a gangster film featuring both of them.

2. What is the significance of 'Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man'?

Answer: Lugosi finally got to play Frankenstein's Monster

It is very strange seeing Dracula plaing Frankenstein's Monster! It's like a morph of the two! Those two monsters appeared together in a number of films, including 'Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein.' Karloff played the scientist in 'House of Frankenstein'.

Answer: Acromegaly

Neurofibromatosis is what 'The Elephant Man' suffered from.

4. Which Mummy flick is not a Universal film?

Answer: The Mummy's Shroud

'The Mummy's Shroud' was made by Hammer studios in the 60's.

5. Which of these films was remade in the 50s as 'House of Wax' with Vincent Price?

Answer: Mystery of the Wax Museum

Those who think 'House of Wax' is a good film should see the much better 'Mystery of the Wax Museum', probably the best horror film of the 30s. 'Waxworks' is a great German expressionist film. There is no 'Horrors of the Wax Museum', but in the 60s Hammer made a terrific 'Horrors of the Black Museum' which is a must see!

6. In Mel Brooks' 'Young Frankenstein', there is a nutty police inspector with one wooden arm. This was based on a similar character played by Lionel Atwill in which Frankenstein film?

Answer: Son of Frankenstein

The hilarious scene with the blind man in Brook's film came from "The Bride of Frankenstein".

7. What was the first screen version of 'The Island of Doctor Moreau' called?

Answer: Island of Lost Souls

Charles Laughton gave a great prformance that foreshadowed Hitler!

8. In what horror film did Humphrey Bogart appear as a vampire?

Answer: Return of Doctor X

He was contractually obligated to make one more film, and this was all the studio had to offer him!

9. Which monster did Abbott and Costello NOT meet?

Answer: The Ghoul

10. Once again, which is NOT a Karloff-Lugosi film?

Answer: The Terror
