Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Neil McCormick tells him the truth.

The truth is that Brian's childhood memory loss, nosebleeds, and bed-wetting were all due to the psychological trauma of being molested by his coach after a baseball game. Neil McCormick, who was there at the time of the incident, experienced long-term abuse at the hands of his coach.

2. What type of cereal is seen in the opening sequence of the film?

Answer: Froot Loops

After a baseball game, Coach and Neil are at Coach's house eating cereal from individual-sized boxes. One of the boxes explodes as it is opened, and their late-night breakfast turns into spirited food-fight. Toward the end of the fracas, Coach sprinkles Froot Loops on Neil's face, making it rain. He then tells Neil that he loves him and molests him for the first time.

3. What is the age relationship between Neil and Wendy?

Answer: Wendy is older than Neil

In a narrative voice-over, Neil says,

"I met Wendy Peterson when I was ten. She was eleven, one grade ahead of me in school. If I wasn't queer we would have ended up having sloppy teenage sex and getting pregnant, contributing more unwanted kids to society. But instead, she became my soulmate. And... one true partner in crime."

4. When Brian visits Avalyn's farm, what does she NOT show him as proof of alien visitation?

Answer: A piece of their ship

During Brian's first visit, Avalyn shows him a scar on her upper leg (supposedly from the aliens implanting a tracking device). On his second visit, she shows him a dead cow that has had its sex organs removed (supposedly by alien scientists). Avalyn encourages Brian to feel inside the cow. Putting his hand inside the wet, tight space triggers flashbacks to the night of Brian's blackout, and, overwhelmed, he passes out.

A piece of the extra-terrestrials' vehicle, alas, is not part of Avalyn's presentation.

5. Fed up with his small-town existence in Oklahoma, Neil makes his way to New York City and works as a hustler until one of his tricks attacks and rapes him.

Answer: False

Neil's hometown (Hutchison) is located in Kansas, not Oklahoma. However, it is true that Neil gets attacked by one of his tricks, and this event prompts him to leave New York and go back home (at least, for the holidays).

6. The porch light at Coach's house has a yellowish hue which makes Brian, as a young child, believe that he had been taken aboard an alien craft.

Answer: False

While Brian's memories of being taken aboard an alien vessel have been influenced by the porch light at Coach's former house, the lighting element has a blue glow, not a yellow one.

7. At what time of year does the film end?

Answer: Wintertime

Kansas is located in the Northern Hemisphere, which experiences wintertime during the month of December. The end of the film takes place around Christmas (December 25), and Neil has returned from New York to celebrate/recover. In the very last scene, carolers are heard singing at the door.

8. What are the missing words in this line: "I wished with all my _____________ we could just leave this world behind. Rise like two _____________ in the night and magically disappear."

Answer: Heart, Angels

Neil says this line in a voice-over just before the closing credits. He has just revealed the awful truth about the molestation to Brian, and Brian is seen whimpering in his lap.

9. What is the song being sung by the carolers in the final scene of the film?

Answer: Silent Night

Though Neil and Brian do not open the door to look at the carolers, they can still hear their voices outside. The carol "Silent Night" has a somewhat solemn tone to it, and it serves as a nice backdrop to the bittersweet ending of the film.

10. The script for "Mysterious Skin" is based on a novel written by Scott Heim. Who is credited as the writer of the screenplay?

Answer: Gregg Araki

Gregg Araki is the writer, director, producer, and editor of the film "Mysterious Skin" (2004). A few of Araki's other credits include "Three Bewildered People in the Night" (1987), "Kaboom" (2010), and "White Bird in a Blizzard" (2013).
