Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which outrageously titled horror flick of 1972 was about a negro vampire?

Answer: Blacula

Racial equality was gaining momentum in the early 70s, and someone obviously thought that a black man should be able to play a cold-blooded, supernatural killer, just like everybody else. William Marshall played Mamuwalde, an African vampire who believed he had found his former wife, reincarnated in 1972 Los Angeles. Marshall reprised the role in a 1973 sequel, 'Scream, Blacula, Scream', where his character (who had completely disintegrated in the first movie) was fully re-integrated into society.
2. Saint Nick found himself in real strife when he appeared in which 1964 movie with an utterly preposterous title?

Answer: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

It's true, I swear. And so will you, when you see Santa "sleigh" aliens in this unforgettable turkey which still holds its own at Worst-Ever-Film festivals. The plot had something to do with Martians who decided to kidnap Santa for the benefit of their own children, but (like the movie) not everything went to plan. Often trotted out for the kiddies at Christmas, this film could actually be bad for their elf.
3. Long before 'Snakes on a Plane' and 'Anaconda' hissed at audiences, cinema-goers had to contend with which slithering movie of 1973?

Answer: Sssssss

The American film, 'Sssssss', was released as Ssssnake' in the UK and elsewhere. Its story involved an otherwise sensible doctor who theorized that humans would not survive the future unless they became snakes, so he proceeded to turn a college student into a king cobra. Curiously, the doctor's name was "Stoner", a word that surely wouldn't have meant anything to the Aquarian-Age culture of 1973.
4. A 1971 Spaghetti Western, directed by Sergio Leone, was originally released with what outrageous title?

Answer: Duck, You Sucker!

Set during the Mexican Revolution, Sergio Leone's 'Duck, You Sucker' (later known as 'A Fistful of Dynamite') starred James Coburn and Rod Steiger as bandits who used explosives in their raids. The original outrageous title of this film came about through a creative translation of the movie's Italian name, 'Giu la Testa!'.
5. Peter Weir was given his first chance, as a director, in a low-budget Australian film of 1974. What was its utterly outrageous title?

Answer: The Cars That Ate Paris

No French cities or American socialites were harmed in the making of this movie. Paris, in this case, was a fictional rural town in Australia where locals took vehicles (and lives) from anyone unlucky enough to drive by. 'The Cars That Ate Paris' wasn't the worst movie ever made, but it was a long drive from the best. Weir followed up with 'Picnic At Hanging Rock', 'Gallipoli', and others, before his career ate America.
6. Controversial Oscar-winner Roman Polanksi directed and starred in which 1967 film oddity?

Answer: The Fearless Vampire Killers, or, Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck

MGM wanted to heighten the farce of Polanksi's 'The Fearless Vampire Killers', so they released it with an utterly outrageous addition to the title, much to the reported displeasure of the director. The film saw Polanski play a Transylvanian doctor who had plenty at stake (ugh!) - namely, that vampires would be unleashed into the rest of the world unless he drove home his point.
7. Which 1964 movie, with a mercilessly outrageous title, saw a certain muscle-bound hero test his biceps against a most unlikely opponent?

Answer: Hercules Against the Moon Men

Swords and sandals met science fiction in this Italian-French production, which was infamous not just for its bizarre plot - Hercules was protecting ancient Greece from Earth-conquering aliens from the moon - but also for a sandstorm scene where nothing at all happened for over four minutes.
8. If we believe the title, something rather disturbing was going on in which 1967 film, that was based on a theatrical play of the same outrageous name?

Answer: Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mama's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feeling So Sad

Poor Dad was already dead...had been for ages. But Mama had visited a taxidermist long ago and was subsequently taking her husband everywhere with her, including holidays in hotels. Unfortunately this film was nowhere near as good as it sounds - and it sounds awful.
9. The title of which 1976 film contains the name of a well-known deceased figure and was spawned by outrageously bad taste?

Answer: Bruce Lee Fights Back From the Grave

Seriously! Bruce Lee had died barely three years earlier, but this movie quite literally threw a lightning bolt at his grave, whereupon he (or quite possibly an impersonator) popped out, alive and kicking. The rest of the movie, which had nothing to do with Bruce Lee, saw the main character, Wong Han, travel to America to find a lost friend and battle a series of crooks along the way.

The film's tag line was: "You can't keep a good man down!".
10. Which cult film of 2001 gave a famous figure a new and somewhat unexpected career, via an astonishingly outrageous title?

Answer: Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter

Google it, if you don't believe me. I know I did. Unfortunately I can't discuss this movie's content because it may do harm to religious sensibilities, vampire sensibilities, lesbian sensibilities, Mexican wrestler sensibilities, or indeed any sensibilities of any sensible person anywhere. Let's just say that Jesus found a new calling in modern-day Canada and made a lot of vampires very cross.
