The Amazing, Colossal Book of Horror Trivia: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Scary Movies but Were Afraid to Ask
Jonathan Malcolm Lampley, Ken Beck, and Jim Clark
From the silent movies of the 1920s to the scream queens of the 1990s, the topics in this book range from vampires and werewolves to haunted houses and mad scientists to creature features and giant apes. The Amazing, Colossal Book of Horror Trivia also includes highlights from the lives and works of the greats and near-greats of horror cinema: Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Vince Price, Christopher Lee, Ingrid Pitt, Peter Cushing, Fay Wray, Barbara Steele, Roger Corman, and others. You'll never sleep without a nightlight again.
Some of the devilishly delightful questions about the best and worst horror films ever made include:
- Although Bela Lugosi had played Dracula on Broadway, who was originally chosen to play the film role?
- Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman star as witch sisters in which 1998 film?
- In the opening of The Mummy (1932), the title is seen inscribed on what landmark?
- What Oscar-winning actor has an unbilled role in The Invisible Man (1933) as a man whose bicycle is stolen?
- What transforms Nancy Archer (Allison Hayes) into a giant in Attack of the 50-Foot Woman (1957)?
- What is the weapon of choice in I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) and its sequel?
- In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, what is the name of the gate over the top of the school library that serves as a partition between Earth and the netherworld?
- When and where was The Blair Witch Project (1999) filmed?
