Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which phobia best applies to Mayor Wilkins?

Answer: Verminophobia

Before The Mayor's Ascension, he was invulnerable, so he would not be afraid of pain (algiophobia) or dying (thanatophobia), and considering that he ate a whole box of spiders, it's safe to say he isn't an arachnophobe. However, he hated germs, so the only proper answer is Verminophobia.

2. Which common vampire fear does The Master overcome?

Answer: Staurophobia

In "Nightmares", The Master was able to touch a cross without feeling severe pain, thus overcoming Staurophobia (fear of a cross or crucifix).

3. What fear of her own does Willow use to create a distraction in "Killed By Death?"

Answer: Batrachophobia

Willow starts to freak out, screaming about being surrounded by frogs.

4. What phobia does Buffy confess to having in "The Puppet Show?"

Answer: Automatonophobia

Automatonophobia is the fear of ventriloquist dummies, or Pupaphobia, the fear of puppets, which Buffy mentions she had ever since she was a child, when she saw a dummy and it gave her the wig.

5. What phobia do the people of Sunnydale begin to express in "Gingerbread?"

Answer: Wiccaphobia

Wiccaphobia is (obviously) the fear of witches and witchcraft, which is apparent when the parents of Sunnydale (including Joyce Summers) go on a literal witch hunt.

6. What phobia is shared by Willow and Tara?

Answer: None of the above

Willow and Tara are witches, so it's safe to assume that they would not be Wiccaphobes, and they're lesbians, so Homophobia doesn't apply. Lastly, because they briefly had Miss Kitty Fantastico (as seen in "The Yoko Factor" and "Restless"), they wouldn't be Ailurophobic (afraid of cats). Thus, the answer is none of the above.

7. Due to the events that transpired on a particular holiday (in at least three different years), what phobia might some of the Scoobies have?

Answer: Samhainophobia

Samhainophobia is fear of Halloween, and after the events of "Halloween", "Fear, Itself", and "All The Way", you couldn't blame them for this fear.

8. What phobia of Willow's is manifested in "Nightmares" and in the ending credits of "The Puppet Show?"

Answer: Topophobia

Topophobia is stage fright and Glossophobia is fear of public speaking, and we all know that Willow has terrible stage fright in high school (yet decides to take drama in college). She specifically has a fear of singing, which there is no phobia listed for, and is also something Alyson Hannigan suffers from.

9. Which of the following fears did Xander not exhibit in "Nightmares?"

Answer: Chocolate

Part of Xander's nightmare features him walking down a hallway covered in swastikas, only to encounter the clown he had at his birthday as a child. He also walks into class in his underwear as part of the nightmare. However, the chocolate excited him.

10. Wendell (from "Nightmares") is arachnophobic.

Answer: False

He actually loves spiders. The reason for his recurring nightmare is from when he once left his collection of spiders under his brother's care. His brother was neglectful, thus resulting in the spiders' deaths, and, in turn, Wendell's nightmares. Willow, however, IS afraid of spiders.
