Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which 1931 German movie, directed by Fritz Lang, has Peter Lorre as a child murderer stalking Dusseldorf?

Answer: M

'Mad Love' is a 1935 Lorre film, with Colin Clive; 'Murder', Hitchcock, 1930; 'The Mad Genius', John Barrymore and Karloff, 1931.
2. Boris Karloff played the monster in James Whales' 'Frankenstein', 1931, but who played the title role?

Answer: Colin Clive

'It's alive!' Clive played Dr. Frankenstein, the mad scientist.
3. Which 1931 Tod Browning classic made a star of Bela Lugosi?

Answer: Dracula

His name is synonymous with Dracula.
4. Although the Spencer Tracy version is more well known, this actor gave a fine performance as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in 1931:

Answer: Fredric March

5. Who portrayed the Invisible Man in the 1933 James Whale classic?

Answer: Claude Rains

Karloff was originally offered the role, but turned it down because they wouldn't show his face until the end. It was his first movie role. I can't see anyone else playing the role now.
6. What 1932 James Whale classic featured Boris Karloff and was set in a creepy mansion with a crazy relative who likes to set fires locked up in the room upstairs?

Answer: The Old Dark House

'The Cat and the Canary' was a Bob Hope haunted house comedy; 'Whistling In The Dark' was Red Skelton; and 'The House of Fear' was a Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes film.
7. What was the great 1932 Karloff film in which he played Imhotep?

Answer: The Mummy

I'll bet you know it after AMC's Monsterfest 2000.
8. Tod Browning shocked the film world in 1932 when he made what disturbing masterpiece about life and murder in a travelling circus?

Answer: Freaks

A truly great film, virtually unseen until the 1960s.
9. Scream queen Fay Wray and Willis O'Brien's animation helped turn what 1933 classic into the greatest giant monster movie of all time?

Answer: King Kong

The eighth wonder of the world. 'King Kong' was so popular in 1933 that RKO studios released 'Son Of Kong' later that year, in which the ape was much more gentle. O'Brien returned with his fabulous special effects, but Fay Wray did not.
10. Which of the following is NOT a sequel to a 1930s horror movie?

Answer: Mark of the Wolfman

'Son of Kong', 1933, 'Dracula's Daughter', 1936, 'Son of Frankenstein', 1939. The origional 'Wolf Man' was made in 1942 and 'Mark Of the Wolfman' was never a movie, as far as I know.
11. Bela Lugosi took the lead in this 1932 movie because he had turned down the role of the monster in 'Frankenstein' and didn't want to miss another hit movie:

Answer: White Zombie

'The Devil Doll' starred Lionel Barrymore, 'Doctor X' starred Lionel Atwill, and 'Plan 9', from the 1950s, was hardly a hit.
12. This 1935 James Whale sequel, starring Boris Karloff, is considered by many as the greatest of the horror movies of the period:

Answer: The Bride Of Frankenstein

'Mark of the Vampire', 1935, starred Lugosi; 'Return of Dr. X', 1939, Bogart; and 'The Ghoul', 1933, was not a sequel.
13. Who played the title role in 'The Return of Doctor X'?

Answer: Humphrey Bogart

Bogart's only role in a horror movie.
14. Which 1930s movie does NOT feature Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi?

Answer: The Werewolf of London

The 1935 movie starred Henry Hull and Warner Oland.
15. Charles Laughton played the role made famous by Lon Chaney Sr. in this 1939 remake:

Answer: The Hunchback of Notre Dame
