Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. According to Watson, when were the cleaners expected to come the next morning?

Answer: 9:30 in the morning

I wonder how Price found out about Watson, and hired him to give the tour for the party?
2. What happened to Melissa Marr?

Answer: Chopped up and stored in a metal cabinet

Jennifer Jenzen almost drowned in a tub of blood, Evelyn was electrocuted, and Blackburn was stabbed and beheaded by Evelyn.
3. Evelyn and Blackburn planned to fake her death and pin it on Steven. How did they make it appear she was killed?

Answer: Electro-shock

I didn't know you could fake electrocution.
4. What drug did she use to make it appear that her heart stopped, her pulse failed, and she stopped breathing?

Answer: Atropine

Demerol and Morphine are highly used pain killers at hospitals. Prussic acid is a poison which has easily been used in kitchens, because it smells of nuts, has no taste, and makes the victims regurgitate. (That certainly was the case with Lizzie Borden the day before the infamous murders.)
5. Who was related to Head Nurse, Ruth Anne Stockard?

Answer: Evelyn Price

Her full name was Evelyn Stockard-Price. I wonder if Vannacutt had any living relatives?
6. After Evelyn is killed, and Steven is to blame, where is he kept?

Answer: Saturation chamber

In the original script Blackburn pointed out that getting his fingerprints on Evelyn's body wouldn't help Steven's credibility with the police.
7. Here's one that everyone should know but few do - the summary for "House on Haunted Hill" said 5 people were invited to stay the night for Evelyn's party. Steven had the house rigged to scare everyone off, but later on the house comes alive. What is wrong with the summary?

Answer: All of the above

Everyone who's seen the movie should know that Watson Pritchett wasn't a real guest, he was hired to lead everyone up to the house and give a small tour of the house for a check.
8. Watson said that his grandfather, who originated the institution, died in Miami, and that his father was working on the house when he died in a construction accident. What was he lying about?

Answer: The house killed his father off

Apparently history repeated itself, in the original script however, Watson actually survived the night, and lived to tell the story to "Terrifying but True".
9. Finish this line by Eddie Baker after finding a picture of the class of 1931, "Better living through __________".

Answer: Electricity

They sure look better through electricity.
10. Since Melissa Marr was never found, Evelyn suspected that __________.

Answer: Steven had her spying on her and Blackburn

Blackburn thought Steven killed her, and Watson knew the house had her.
11. In the opening footage, we see patients hovering over an operating table with 2 people on it, they're dissecting them for a change. They are Richard Vannacutt and Nurse Ruth Stockard.

Answer: True

I guess the patients got revenge on him finally.
12. By the end of the movie, the footage was shown again, but the people being operated on were different. Who were they this time?

Answer: Steve and Evelyn Price

It makes you wonder if the doctor and nurse were married?
13. When Price reversed the "Lockdown" system to the house, only Jennifer got out the first time.

Answer: Yes

Actually, only Jennifer got out that way, the gears turned and shut Eddie in.
14. How did they manage to escape from the Darkness?

Answer: Jennifer was already out when Pritchett's ghost let Eddie out.

Just as the Darkness was ready to kill Eddie, Pritchett's ghost pulls the rope, opening the window, allowing him to get out.
15. Here's one that was put in just to amuse you; the original script was different, in the end, from the movie.

Answer: True

Here's where they differ: Eddie is eaten up by the darkness, Sara and Watson get out, the steel plate shuts on Watson's shoe, he gets his foot out. Come morning, the story is on "Terrifying but True", hosted by Christopher Lee. Police, ambulances and fire engines come up to the institute and rescue them. Watson explains the story, the paramedics bring out several large body bags on gurneys, and several small bags on one gurney (for Melissa Marr no doubt).

Then the footage shown at the end of the credits is seen, and Watson ends the movie with: "The house won't stop until it has everyone".

Then it goes to the credits, that would've been more exciting.
