Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who plays the unfortunate writer Paul Sheldon?

Answer: James Caan

James Caan has also starred in 'The Godfather' trilogy, 'Dick Tracy', 'Funny Lady' and 'The Gambler'. Paul Sheldon is a writer who is involved in a terrible car accident. When he wakes up, he is in the house of his number one fan, Annie Wilks. She is obsessed with his books and when she doesn't like his new book, it becomes a matter of life and death.
2. What is the name of Paul's heroine in the novels he writes and that Annie loves so much?

Answer: Misery Chastaine

Annie is Paul's number one fan and she absolutely loves his 'Misery' books. When he decides to give up writing 'Misery' and kills her off, Annie does not take it lightly.
3. What is Annie's profession?

Answer: Nurse

She was sent to prison as she had caused numerous infant deaths in a hospital.
4. What is the name of the Sheriff?

Answer: Buster

Buster takes it upon himself and his wife, the deputy, to investigate Paul's whereabouts. Unfortunately, Annie shoots him when he finally finds Paul.
5. What is the name of the place that Paul stays in to write his novels?

Answer: Silver Creek Lodge

Annie claims that she would often stare over at his room when the light was on and wonder what he was thinking.
6. What was Annie's response to Paul's suggestion that she could think of a title for his new book?

Answer: "Like I could do that!"

She wanted to read Paul's new book that was untitled, but she doesn't like the book and makes him burn it. She said that she hated the swearing in it.
7. What animal does Annie call Misery?

Answer: Pig

Paul: 'You called it Misery?'
Annie: 'Yeah, I told you I was your number one fan.'
8. What happened to Annie's husband?

Answer: He left her

Annie reveals this to Paul when he is peeing in a bottle. I don't think Paul felt comfortable having her standing there while he was doing that.
9. In Paul's last 'Misery' novel, how does Misery die?

Answer: She died giving birth

Annie: 'She can't be dead, Misery Chastaine cannot be dead!'
Paul: 'Annie, sometimes during childbirth, women don't survive.'
10. How old was Paul Sheldon when he wrote his first book?

Answer: 24

Annie: 'When you were 24 you wrote your first book and you didn't make a copy because you didn't think anybody would take it seriously.'
Paul was superstitious and he would always go back to the Silver Creek Lodge and never make another copy of his book. He told that story to Merv Griffin 11 years ago. I bet Paul regrets telling him that.
11. What does Annie call the next 'Misery' book that she wants Paul to write?

Answer: Misery's Return

She made Paul write another 'Misery' book, so he had to bring Misery back to life.
12. What does Paul use as a key to get out of his room?

Answer: Bobby Pin

He found it on the floor and opens the door with it. He tried to call for help, but Annie had destroyed the phone.
13. When Paul finally gets out of his room he knocks a statue of a penguin off a table and puts it back on the table the wrong way. What way is the penguin supposed to have been facing?

Answer: Due south

This is how Annie knows that Paul has been out of his room. He faced the penguin the wrong way and Annie says that the penguin is always facing due south.
14. Finish the quote: 'There is a justice higher than that of a man. I will be ________ by him.'

Answer: Judged

This is a quote from one of Paul's 'Misery' books and Annie stated the quote when she was being tried for murder. This is the quote that the Sheriff discovers and leads him to believe that Annie Wilkes is behind Paul's whereabouts.
15. What records does Annie play when she finds out that Misery is alive again?

Answer: Liberace

Annie: 'Misery is alive, Misery is alive! This whole house is going to be full of romance, I'm going to put on my Liberace records!'
16. What is one of the three things Paul does NOT have when he finishes a novel?

Answer: Candles

Annie: 'You need a cigarette because you used to smoke, but quit except when you finish a book and you have just one, and the match to light it. You also need a glass of champagne, Dom Perignon.'
17. What colour are the pills that Annie gives Paul?

Answer: Red

They were to help with the pain. When Paul got out of his room he took some pills so he could slip them in her wine. Unfortunately, she spilled the glass of wine.

Answer: Mustang

He had a 65 Mustang.
