Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In this film, directed by Steven Spielberg, a small town suffers a possible tourism loss thanks to a menacing sea dweller. An oceanographer tells the mayor that he feels he's ignoring the problem "until it swims up and bites you on the ass!" What is this film?
2. This film is shot as sort of a pseudo-documentary, and focuses on the Fouke Monster. It was followed by two sequels, but oddly enough, the third film is the one that has "2" in the title. This was because the director of the first had nothing to do with the sequel, so he decided to make his own sequel, ignoring the first sequel released. What is the name of this film?
3. In 1980, a fun movie about a killer subterranean alligator was released, aptly titled "Alligator". The kills were above average and the sewer reveal scene of the creature has stayed in my mind for years. It spawned a sequel that came out in 1991, but what was the subtitle following the main title of the film?
4. The year was 1989. There were six films released that year that all dealt with an underwater facility in peril. This film was produced and directed by Sean S. Cunningham (of "Friday the 13th" fame), and starred Taurean Blacque, Cindy Pickett, and Miguel Ferrer. This film is about an underwater military outpost that uncovers a cave system, which houses a gigantic arthropod that begins to attack the facility once provoked. What is the name of this film?
5. This '80s gem is a classic example of overlooked horror, in my opinion. The film is about an old mine that was closed down many years ago, after a mysterious killing of all the workers, and is now being reopened. Little do they know, they are now releasing the creatures responsible for the massacre all those years ago. What is the name of this movie?
6. I'm sure we're all familiar with the film "C.H.U.D." about a toxic waste dump resulting in the mutation of homeless people living in the sewers. At one point in the film, an operating agent for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission calls C.H.U.D. "Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers". However, in the climax of the film in the sewers, they find out this was a cover-up by the commission, and that C.H.U.D. actually stands for something else. What?
7. This film, directed by Burt I. Gordon (B.I.G. no less), and released in the '70s, is about a group of prospective land-buyers coming to visit an island with land available, being sold by a seedy land-developer (played by Joan Collins). The land is worthless, but that becomes the least of their problems when a giant swarm of ants attacks! What is this film?
8. This film is mostly known from its special effects, created by special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen. The film features an attack of a giant creature on the city of San Francisco, and is a staple of '50s "Giant Monster Attacks" films. What is the name of this film?
9. This film has gathered a cult following, despite being a really awful film. The movie follows a scientific expedition being attacked by the film's title creature. It shows early work of effects wizard Rick Baker. This film also happens to be featured briefly in "Gremlins 2". What is the name of this film?
10. This film is about a group of troubled teens being sent on a getaway to let them get in touch with nature, but some giant insects caused by steroids used by marijuana farmers plan to interrupt this camping trip.
