Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. With the lights turned down low and the jack-o'-lanterns a-glow, Halloween is about to begin. What is a jack-o'-lantern?

Answer: A carved pumpkin

A carved pumpkin is also known as a jack-o'-lantern. To make a jack-o'-lantern you have to remove the top. With a spoon, or even your hands, you can pull out the inner flesh and seeds leaving the inside hollow. With a carving knife a creepy face can be carved from the outside in, right through the pumpkin shell. A glow stick, candle or other source of light is placed inside and the lid is put back on. The jack-o'-lantern will glow, exposing just how creepy the carved face is.
2. I turn on the CD player and let the air fill with squeaking, moaning, groaning, creaking and other grotesque sounds. I particularly like to play the song "Thriller". Who sings this?

Answer: Michael Jackson

The Michael Jackson album titled "Thriller" was released in 1982. The single "Thriller" which is on the "Thriller" album lasts four minutes and thirty seven seconds. On the album it lasts longer. It was written by Rod Temperton. Some of the sound effects in this song include thunder, wind, howling, creaking and even feet walking upon some wooden planks.

The music video, which is called "Michael Jackson's Thriller" (1983), lasts fourteen minutes.
3. I have a spooky old tree in the yard near the door and have hung some tennis balls covered in white, flowing pieces of cotton. What do these represent?

Answer: Ghosts

A good way to create ghosts to hang from a tree is to get some tennis or Styrofoam balls and cover them with pieces of old white cotton sheets. You can paint on some eyes and mouths with a black marker to give the ghosts some form of identity. Fishing line is quite clear so it works well to tie the ghosts onto tree branches. The ghosts really look like they are floating.
4. Next to the door I have placed a black cauldron filled with water which is colored red with lots of food coloring. I've created smoke that pours out of the cauldron. What did I use to do this?

Answer: Dry ice

Dry ice is carbon dioxide in the form of a solid, and is also sometimes called "Cardice" and "card ice". Typically, it is used to keep food frozen or preserved with the use of non-cyclic refrigeration, and is also used in the making of ice cream. To create the smoke, all one has to do is place the dry ice into water - but be very careful not to touch the dry ice, use tongs instead. Sublimation happens when dry ice mixes into water, which makes the fog or smoke effect. Sublimation is when a solid changes into a gas without becoming a liquid in between.
5. Along my now barren flower garden I have placed some tombstones. Sticking out of the soil near one of the tombstones is a rubber hand. Which television show, from 1964-1966, had a hand named "Thing", which moved around on its own?

Answer: The Addams Family

Thing T. Thing was the full name of the right hand, in "The Addams Family" (1964-1966) television show. Thing was also in "The New Addams Family" (1998) as well as the more recent movies. Thing's duties in the television show included getting the mail, giving Gomez some cigars and lighting them. Thing also would be seen helping Morticia by holding her wool when she was knitting.

When the Addams family would go for a drive, Thing would go along as well and ride in the glove compartment.
6. I'm almost ready but I do need to get dressed up. I'm going to be a wrinkly old witch. Which of the following would be most useful for make-up, to make me look wrinkly?

Answer: Eye-brow pencil

Eye-brow pencil works really well to make wrinkles. I smile really big and squint at the same time. When I see which lines on my face could become a wrinkle, when I actually do get old, I draw them onto my skin with my eye-brow pencil. When I am done, I really look wrinkly and old. I draw on a couple of smudges to look like black warts on my nose and my chin. I have long hair, so before I put on my pointy hat I comb my hair backwards so it is all frizzy and knotted looking. It is a perfect messy look for a witch!
7. My neighbor's little boy is dressing up like a hobo. He has come to ask me for some petroleum jelly and some tea. What is he most probably planning to do with that?

Answer: Make a beard

He is going to create the look of a beard on his face. It's easy. You just have to put a thin layer of petroleum jelly on your face, where a beard would be. Once you do that, you break open the tea bag and stick bits of tea onto the petroleum jelly. It will look like whiskers.
8. I was wondering whether or not to invite children into my house, so they could pick out which treat they want. Is it a good idea to go into a stranger's house to do that?

Answer: No

It is never a good idea to enter a stranger's house, even though it is Halloween. If you are invited indoors, just say no thank you and continue on your way. Another bit of advice is that you should not go "trick or treating" alone.
9. I have two cats and a dog. What should I do with them on Halloween night?

Answer: Put them in a bedroom and close the door

If you have pets it is a very good idea to put them into a bedroom, with food and water, maybe even a litter box, and close the door. Leave them in that room until Halloween is finished. With so many children and parents walking around, door to door, it can frighten your animals.

They could scratch or bite by accident. Some of them could even run away because they are frightened. To protect them and keep them safe, it is really best to put them where they won't escape outdoors, unnoticed and possibly get lost.
10. The evening has been a success, so now that Halloween is over, I settle down to watch a good movie. One of my favorites to watch this time of year stars Goldie Hawn, Meryl Streep and Bruce Willis. What is the name of this 1992 comedy movie directed by Robert Zemeckis?

Answer: Death Becomes Her

"Death Becomes Her" (1992) is a comedy about a writer named Helen (Goldie Hawn) and an actress named Madeline (Meryl Streep) who despise one another. Madeline and Ernest (Bruce Willis) are married, but Ernest used to be Helen's fiance. Helen plots to try to get Ernest back and murder Madeline. One thing leads to another and both women drink a potion that will make them immortal.

They both get killed and become revived as "undead", forcing them to have to maintain their decomposing bodies for all eternity.
