Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. I wanted to see "Cats", but the actors all ran for the trees when they saw me. Who am I?

Answer: Cujo

Probably the best recommendation ever written for rabies vaccines!

2. I spent my time in bookstores; after all, a man has to protect his work! Do you know my name?

Answer: John Shooter

Shooter was the the villain in Kings' novella "Secret Window, Secret Garden"-he had strong views on plagiarism.

3. I grabbed a paper and checked to see if Barnum & Bailey was in town-no luck, so I went on a balloon ride instead. Which character am I?

Answer: Pennywise

Pennywise the Clown was evil indeed-"It" is one of Stephen King's longer books, but well worth the time.

4. I spent all my time at fabric stores-every girl needs just the right dress for her big night! Do you know me?

Answer: Carrie White

"Carrie" was King's first novel; luckily for all of us, it was far from his last.

5. I spent my time in the local taverns-it's always good to see what the competition's up to. What's my name?

Answer: Smokey Updike

Smokey was the horrible owner of The Oatley Tap, who made Jack's life miserable for a short while in "The Talisman".

6. I volunteered at local daycare centers, looking for that special student. Who could I be?

Answer: Linoge

Linoge was the demon from "Storm of the Century"-"Give me what I want and I will go away".

7. I visited all my old haunts-that was a lot of ground to cover, but these boots were made for walkin'! Do you recognize my name?

Answer: Randal Flagg

You had to read the book for that reference-the sound of Flagg's bootheels on the empty, dead roads. Shiver!

8. I spent my time at an old theatre that was running a chapter-play marathon. They brought back such memories of my childhood! Can you guess my name?

Answer: Annie Wilkes

Another one you had to read the book for-in "Misery", Annie tells Paul about her childhood, and uses the chapter plays as an example to show him he is "cheating".

9. I was having a wonderful time until the moon rose-after that, it was just beastly! Which character would I be?

Answer: Reverend Lowe

I thought this was one of his few works that was just as good a movie as it was a book. The book was "Cycle of the Werewolf", the movie was "Silver Bullet".

10. I took my best guy, Arnie, on a tour of the Big Apple. Of course, a few others came along for the ride. What name would I go by?

Answer: Christine

Okay, okay, Christine's not a person-but she sure is a villain!
