RESULTS OF BATTLE ROYALE IV - CHALLENGE #3


It gives me great pleasure to welcome back both teams - The Zombie Titans and The Blazing Hellspawns to your THIRD Battle Royale IV Results Meeting.



First of all, the CORRECT answers :-

1) From where has the opening music of Dracula (1931) been taken?

- Act 2, Swan Lake by Tchaikowsky

2) What is the source of the picture depicted on the back of the butterfly on the movie poster of The Silence of the Lambs?

- In Voluptas Mors, by Salvador Dali

3) Most of Night of the Living Dead (1968) was shot inside a house. Where is this house located?

- Zelienople, Pennsylvania

4) What is the name of the TV Channel which announces/elaborates Charles Lee Ray's death in Child's Play/Child's Play 2?

- W-DOL

5) Name the famous filmmaker who watched Creature from the Black Lagoon every year on his birthday.

- Ingmar Bergman

6) In Alien, what is the identification number of the Nostromo?

- 180924609

7) Who did Jane Randolph replace in Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein?

- Ella Raines

8) Post the number of retakes done in The Shining for the scene where Halloran explains to Danny Torrance about the "shining".

- 148 retakes

9) Which is the only horror film Heather Langenkamp had seen, prior to her shooting for A Nightmare on Elm Street?

- Burnt Offerings

10) How long did it take Victor Miller to write the "Friday the 13th" script?

- About two weeks


Question #3 was confusing for a lot of contestants. While I accepted some answers like "demolished farmhouse near Monongahela River, PA" (technically correct), "house was actually separate locations, in and around Zelionople, PA", the one which was outrightly rejected was "Monongahela River, PA".

Come on guys - it's a house, how can it be located ON a river? You all should have mentioned "(farm)house near the Monongahela River", or even "on the banks of the Monongahela River" for me to award full points.



COMMON LINK - This was easy, and I am surprised that an entire TEAM could not find this from the internet. A google search for "horror movie items" would have shown it to you, and to make matters easier, there are TWO links listing all the movies mentioned above, and IN THAT ORDER of questions as well. Here they are :-
