Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In "Creature From The Black Lagoon", who played the woman in danger?

Answer: Julie Adams

Adams had a nice career in Tv and movies. "Lagoon" spawned a sequel: "The Creature Walks Among Us" - Adams skipped that one. If she thought one was enough, she was right, the sequel was very weak.
Talbot was in "I Married A Monster From Outer Space". Ohmart was in the Vincent Price version of "House on Haunted Hill". Kirk was menaced in Price's "House of Wax".

2. Raymond Burr appears in what Sci Fi Classic?

Answer: Godzilla

Well ... you have to start somewhere. Rodan and Godzilla were early monsters; Gorgo and Reptilicus came later.

3. Which movie features midget Japanese girls singing?

Answer: Mothra

All of these were Sci Fi movies, but "Mothra" (to my way of thinking) might be the worst one ever made. It must be seen to be believed. Singing Japanese fairies?

4. Steve McQueen stars in "The Blob"; who is his co-star?

Answer: Aneta Corsaut

Again, everybody has to start somewhere. Corsaut went on to do the Andy Griffith show (as Helen Crump).

5. Who plays the monster in "I Married A Monster from Outer Space"?

Answer: Tom Tryon

Tryon was an actor before he wrote "The Other". Graves starred in "Red Planet Mars". Hedison starred in "The Fly". Landon starred in "I Was A Teenage Werewolf".

6. Which movie features "pod people"?

Answer: Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter starred in the first movie version of strange pods from outer space. The other choices were all sci fi movies from the old days.

7. In "Invaders from Mars", where do the invaders live while on earth?

Answer: Underground

They have a "headquarters" underground: their victims sink through a quicksand-type "soft spot" in the ground and drop in for a visit (so to speak).

8. In "Forbidden Planet", where are the monsters that menace the expedition created?

Answer: In the mind

Leslie Nielsen, Anne Francis and Walter Pidgeon star; Jack Kelly and Earl Holliman round out the cast. "Monsters from the Id" (the Freudian term for the inner instinctual force in man) menace the expedition.

9. Bela Lugosi achieved his greatest fame playing which of these monsters?

Answer: Dracula

Karloff achieved an equal fame with "Frankenstein". Karloff did well in other movie roles (monster and otherwise), but Lugosi encountered hard times.

10. In "The Thing From Another World", James Arness plays a monster who turns up in what type of environment?

Answer: Arctic Wasteland

Before "Gunsmoke", the Arness-Monster crashes in a frozen wasteland.
