1 Who played the character who fought vampires in "The Last Man on Earth" (1964)?
Answer: Vincent Price

Vincent Price ("The Raven", "House of Wax") played Dr. Robert Morgan in "The Last Man on Earth", based on the novel "I Am Legend" by Richard Matheson. Flashbacks showed how doctors tried to warn people that a virus could cause widespread vampirism, but Dr. Morgan (Vincent Price) didn't believe it until it was too late. There were scenes involving the burning of the dead, which inspired the end of "Night of the Living Dead". Morgan had buried his wife, but she returned as a vampire.

2 What performer from "Last of the Summer Wine" played a man who got a stake through the heart in "Taste the Blood of Dracula"?
Answer: Peter Sallis

In "Taste the Blood of Dracula" Samuel Paxton (Peter Sallis) and his friend, Secker, found Lucy Paxton's body after she had become a vampire. Secker tried to stake her, but Paxton shot Secker in the arm. Paxton couldn't believe his sweet daughter was a vampire. However, after Secker ran away, Lucy woke up, and drove a stake into her father's chest, killing Samuel Paxton.

Peter Sallis was the only performer to appear in every episode and special as Norman Clegg, or Clegg's father, in "Last of the Summer Wine". He also did the voice of Wallace in the "Wallace and Gromit" films.
3 What director played a vampire hunter in "The Fearless Vampire Killers"?
Answer: Roman Polanski

Count Von Krolock, a vampire, kidnapped Sarah (Sharon Tate) after Prof. Abronsius and his assistant Alfred (Roman Polanski) came to the village to find out who the vampire was and kill it.

Rajmund Roman Thierry Polanski (Born 18 Aug 1933) was a French-Polish film director, producer, writer, and actor, married a few times, including to his co-star Sharon Tate, his second wife, in 1968. She was murdered by the Manson family in 1969. He's directed "Chinatown", "Rosemary's Baby", "The Pianist", and "What?"
4 What was the name of the vampire depicted in F. W. Murnau's 1922 film "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror"?
Answer: Count Orlok

Count Orlok was portrayed by Max Schreck in this prototypical vampire film from the early 1920s. An important movie in the silent film era, much of this movie made use of elements of German Expressionism (e.g. shadowplay) and revised the vampire lore outlined in Bram Stoker's classic 1897 novel, "Dracula". Notably, the word 'vampire' was never used in the film because the Stokers would not relinquish the rights to the original story. The movie followed much of the novel's original plot including a man's arrival at the vampire's castle and the vampire's visit to London.

This would also happen to be Max Schreck's most famous role which is interesting because the name 'Schreck' translates to 'terror' in German.
5 In 1931, the battle between Dracula and Van Helsing was brought to the big screen in Universal's "Dracula". Bela Lugosi was Count Dracula, but who played Dr. Van Helsing?
Answer: Edward Van Sloan

Count Dracula had left his Carpathian Mountain stronghold for the full-bloodied preying grounds of Victorian England. His new home was the desecrated Carfax Abbey, with its grounds that adjoined Seward's Asylum. Bela Lugosi was Dracula, and Herbert Bunston played Dracula's neighbor, Dr. Jack Seward. Dwight Frye was Renfield, Dracula's lunatic slave, who was an inmate of Seward's. David Manners played Jonathan Harker, and Helen Chandler played Mina, the victim of the evil Count's nocturnal visitations. Edward Van Sloan was Dr. Abraham Van Helsing, a man wise in both medicine and vampire lore. "Dracula" was based on Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, and was directed by Tod Browning. Character actor Edward Van Sloan (1881-1964) had a successful film career playing mainly doctors and professors. Perhaps fans of the old Universal monster films will remember Van Sloan as Dr. Waldman in "Frankenstein" (1931), and as Dr. Muller in "The Mummy" (1932). He also appeared as Prof. Von Helsing in "Dracula's Daughter" (1936).
6 Rock star, 'Come out, come out... Wherever you are!'
Answer: Queen of the Damned

Released in 2002 and starring Stuart Townsend and the late singer Aaliyah, 'Queen of the Damned' follows on from 'Interview With the Vampire'. In it, Lestat becomes a rock star and wakes up the 'mother of all vampires.' The quote is from the 'Queen' herself, Akasha.
7 What actor is the best-known for portraying Dracula?
Answer: Bela Lugosi

Also probably the scariest Dracula!

8 Who played a character who collected blood for a monster in "The Vampire Bat"?
Answer: Lionel Atwill

When a man was found without blood and with two puncture marks on his neck, the villagers thought there might be a vampire, or maybe a vampire bat. Karl Breetschneider (Melvyn Douglas) insisted that the nearest vampire bat was in South America. However, Herman Gleib (Dwight Frye) had pet bats, so he was suspected of the murder. When another victim was found, Herman was chased into a cave, where he fell to his death. However, it was really Dr. Otto Von Niemann (Lionel Atwill, "Son of Frankenstein", "House of Dracula") who collected blood for the thing he kept alive in his lab.
9 Who played Dracula in "Love At First Bite"?
Answer: George Hamilton

Dracula (George Hamilton) was evicted from his castle in Romania. His coffin was sent to a funeral in Harlem. Dracula woke up and opened the coffin lid, surprising the black congregation. He later found Cindy Sondheim (Susan Saint James) who looked like his past girlfriend, Mina Harker. He turned her into a vampire, and they became bats and flew away to live happily ever after together.

George Hamilton played Hank Williams in "Your Cheatin' Heart" (1964), a motorcycle daredevil in "Evel Knievel" (1971), and Zorro in "Zorro the Gay Blade" (1981).
10 What performer from "...And Justice For All" played a vampire in "Saturday the 14th"?
Answer: Jeffrey Tambor

Waldemar, a vampire (Jeffrey Tambor) and his wife, Yolanda, tried to get a magic book from a house inherited by John (Richard Benjamin) and Mary (Paula Prentiss), but Van Helsing (Severn Darden) also wanted the book. One of the kids opened the magic book and various monsters popped up in the house at various times throughout the rest of the movie.

Jeffrey Tambor played lawyer Jay Porter in the movie "...And Justice For All" and has appeared in "Mr. Mom", "Life Stinks", "Muppets From Space", and many TV shows, including "The Ropers", "Three's Company", "The Larry Sanders Show", "Mr. Sunshine", "Arrested Development", and "Transparent".
11 Tod Browning's 1931 version of "Dracula" featured which famous actor in the titular role?
Answer: Bela Lugosi

The 1931 version of "Dracula", directed by Tod Browning, would be the first version of the film to feature a plot similar to Stoker's original novel. The movie, however, was based around the stageplay of the novel as opposed to the novel itself. Lugosi starred as Dracula, the suave, exotic vampire from Transylvania, who headed to London to feed. Coincidentally, Chaney was originally supposed to fill the role before his death in the late 1920s.

Lugosi's role in this film and others in the genre would typecast him for many years. "Dracula" became a major hit for Universal sparking a series of horrifying pre-WWII films for American audiences including "Frankenstein" (1931), "The Mummy" (1932), and "Dracula's Daughter" (1936).

Funnily enough, a Spanish version of the film, "Drácula", was released in the same year and was filmed on the same set with a Central American cast. Somehow, it was forty minutes longer despite very similar scripts.
12 Julian Sands, library, slow-moving.
Answer: Tale of a Vampire

Released in 1992, it's based on the poem 'Annabel Lee' by Edgar Allan Poe and is more of a character study than your usual vampire movie. Sand's vampiric character spends much of the film in a library where he finds himself falling in love with one of the librarians.
13 In most of the movies about Count Dracula, the character of R.M. Renfield occupies an important place because of his prophetic behavior announcing the coming of his Master, Dracula. Which of this actor never played Renfield?
Answer: Peter Fonda

Tom Waits in 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' in 1992, Rubio in 'Dracula' in 1931 and MacNicol in 'Dracula: Dead And Loving It' in 1995.
14 In this 1987 movie, two brothers move to California, where they meet a group of young vampires. Starring Kiefer Sutherland and Jason Patric?
Answer: The Lost Boys

Possibly the best vampire movie of all time.

15 Who played the title role in "Vampire in Brooklyn"?
Answer: Eddie Murphy

Eddie Murphy played the vampire who was searching New York City for the female cop destined to be his bride.

Eddie Murphy began on "Saturday Night Live" and went on to star in many movies, including "48 Hours", "Beverly Hills Cop", "Trading Places", "Coming to America" "Dr. Doolittle", and "The Nutty Professor".
16 Who played Prince Mamuwalde in "Blacula" (1972)?
Answer: William Marshall

Prince Mamuwalde (William Marshall) visited Dracula (Charles Macaulay) to discuss slowing down the slave trade. However, Dracula made money from slaves, so he took Mamuwalde's wife to be his vampire bride and turned the prince into a vampire, which Dracula called "Blacula". In 1972 Blacula woke up in a coffin in Los Angeles and found a woman who looked like his long dead wife (Vonetta McGee). Of course, while romancing her he also drank blood and turned people into the undead while the police investigated.

William Marshall played the King of Cartoons on "Pee Wee's Playhouse" and Dr. Richard Daystrom, who invented the computer who took over the Enterprise in "Star Trek: The Original Series". He also appeared in many other TV shows, plays, and movies.
17 What performer from "Enter the Dragon" met a vampire from another planet in "Queen of Blood"?
Answer: John Saxon

"Queen of Blood" (1966) involved an astronaut (John Saxon) and his crew sent to pick up people who were stranded on Mars. When they arrived, the only survivor was a woman which they later found out was a vampire. On the way back to Earth, she began killing men on the ship. However, a woman on the crew fought back and scratched the vampire woman, who bled to death.

John Saxon (born Carmine Orrico, Aug 5, 1935) has appeared on television and movies over the years, including "Enter the Dragon" (as Roper, one of the contestants in the fighting competition), "Battle Beyond the Stars", "A Nightmare on Elm Street", and "My Mom's a Werewolf".
18 Remade by Hammer Horror in 1958, "Dracula" starred Christopher Lee in the title role. What was the alternate title for this shot-in-color film, which originally received an X-rating in the UK?
Answer: Horror of Dracula

In order to separate this film from the 1931 version by Universal (which, at this point in time, was followed by a number of sequels and had fallen out of its horror roots in favour of comedy), Hammer Horror retitled the film "Horror of Dracula" in the U.S. upon its release in 1958. Starring Christopher Lee as Dracula as well as Peter Cushing as Doctor Van Helsing, the movie was similar to the original Universal film in only a few respects and it separated itself a great deal from the novel even going so far as to vampirize some of the main characters. Once again, Dracula terrorized visitors to his castle and the citizens of London.

Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee would reappear intermittently in future installments of the Hammer Horror "Dracula" franchise which ended in 1974 with the kung-fu/vampire hybrid "The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires". Thankfully.
19 Unfortunately, there was no Van Helsing to keep Dracula and his friends, the Wolf Man and the Frankenstein's Monster, from running amuck in "House of Frankenstein" (1944). Who played Count Dracula?
Answer: John Carradine

Boris Karloff refused to don the Frankenstein's Monster makeup on this Universal film, but played the wonderfully mad asylum escapee, Dr. Gustav Niemann, in "House of Frankenstein". The plot was simple enough, and not too far-fetched for fans of the Universal monsters to enjoy. Dr. Niemann rounded up Larry Talbot, victim of the werewolf's curse in "The Wolf Man" (1941), Count Dracula, (played by John Carradine), and the Frankenstein Monster (played by Glenn Strange) to help him get revenge on his enemies. John Carradine, Lon Chaney, Jr., and Glenn Strange all returned to play Count Dracula, Larry Talbot/the wolf man, and the Frankenstein's Monster respectively, the following year in "House of Dracula", without Boris Karloff.
20 Anime, Daemon hunting, 48 minutes long.
Answer: Blood: The Last Vampire

Released in 2000, 'Blood: The Last Vampire' is a landmark movie in the way it teams anime and CGI (computer generated imagery) with stunning success. The one flaw of the movie is that it's frustratingly short.
21 Who played Professor Van Helsing in the 1979 version of 'Dracula' directed by John Badham?
Answer: Laurence Olivier

Finlay, Davenport and Price also played Van Helsing respectively in: 'Count Dracula' (1977), 'Dracula' (1973) and 'Son Of Dracula' (1974). This 'Dracula' was adapted from the play written by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston. Frank Langella played Dracula. While very successful on Broadway as a play, the movie, although beautifully filmed, doesn't hit the spot.
22 A vampire invades a small town in Maine in this movie based on a Stephen King novel?
Answer: Salem's Lot

Made in 1979.
Question Reference: Quiz: Vampire Movies.
23 Who played the character who fought vampires in "The Omega Man" (1971)?
Answer: Charlton Heston

Another movie based on the book "I Am Legend" was "The Omega Man" starring Charlton Heston ("Planet of the Apes", "Ben-Hur") as Robert Neville. This time the story was set in Los Angeles and Neville was working on a cure for the disease turning people into vampires. Somehow the story ended the same way "The Last Man on Earth" did, with the hero getting stabbed with a spear. Ironically, Heston played a similar part that Vincent Price had played, and Heston, as Moses, had killed Price's character in "The Ten Commandments".
24 Which Dracula movie had a couple named Charles and Diana?
Answer: Dracula: Prince of Darkness

In "Dracula: Prince of Darkness" the villagers were paranoid about vampires. They tried to stake a dead woman just in case she was a vampire, but Father Sandor prevented them from doing it. Meanwhile, Klove invited two couples to spend the night in Dracula's castle. Klove killed Alan and poured his blood on Dracula's ashes. Dracula materialized and bit Helen, turning her into a vampire. Charles and Diana, the remaining couple, eventually went to the monastery, but Klove, Dracula, and Helen went there to try to turn Charles and Diana Kent into vampires.
25 What performer from "Petticoat Junction" met a vampire in "Blood Bath"?
Answer: Lori (aka Linda) Saunders

"Blood Bath" was originally a European movie about a shy sculptor, but then scenes were added in which he killed some of the young women he sculpted. Later, scenes were added which revealed that he was a spy assigned to capture or kill some of these people. Still later, scenes were added which showed him biting people and drinking blood. He was a sculptor vampire spy. Linda Saunders played a woman he loved.

When set to star on "Petticoat Junction", Linda Saunders (born Linda Marie Hines Oct 4, 1941) changed her name to Lori Saunders so she wouldn't be confused with Linda Kaye Henning, who had already been a regular on the show for years. She played Bobbie Jo Bradley in "Petticoat Junction" and was a regular on the last season of "The Beverly Hillbillies" and a regular on the TV show "Dusty's Trail" with Bob Denver.
