The rules are simple enough: I'll post a trivia question, and the first to answer correctly, posts the next. This is kind of like Helspont's "Name this Still" game, only without pictures.

What was the earliest vampire film made?

Zombie-F

If memory serves correctly, it's not Nosferatu. I believe it was called "Drakula", was filmed in 1921 (a year before Nosferatu), and no copies of this movie survived to present day.

dougspaulding
06-03-2004, 08:40 AM
You're almost right. The movie you speak of was the Hungarian film "Drakula Halala" (1921), aka "The Death of Dracula", and it was the first adaptation of Stoker's novel Dracula.

A clue: this film preceded "Drakula Halala" by five years and is not about Dracula, just regular everyday vampires.

Sinister

Incidentally, Spaulding and I were talking about this very film last year (The one that's the subject of his question) It's a silent flick with very heavy atmosphere, but otherwise quite dull. The whole enchilada was filmed in a flour mill where the dust from the mill itself gave it much of it's stark, "grainy" :D feel.

Oh yeah, the answer is The Vampire. ;)

dougspaulding
06-03-2004, 03:00 PM
Sorry Helspont, but this isn't the one we were talking about. That was "Vampyr" (1932). The subject of my question was filmed in 1916. It is a German film.

Sinister
06-03-2004, 07:40 PM
Well if it's not The Vampire or Nosferatu then could it be Metropolis? Maybe not, because that isn't a Horror flick. There is Thomas Edison's version of Frankenstein, but ol' Tom wasn't German. Grrrrr...my brain is starting to fucking hurt! :mad:

dougspaulding
06-15-2004, 10:30 PM
Alright, since I'm not one to drag these things out for a month or two, I'll give you the answer (if I remember it).

The earliest vampire film was director Arthur Robison's German silent film "Nachte des Grauens" (1916), aka "Night of Terror", with strange, vampire-like people.

The Hungarian film "Drakula Halala" (1921), aka "The Death of Dracula", was the first adaptation of Stoker's novel "Dracula".

The second "Dracula" adaptation was also produced by a European filmmaker - director F. W. Murnau's feature-length "Nosferatu, A Symphony of Terror" (1922).

This 1922 film, along with Coppola's 1992 picture, "Bram Stoker's Dracula" are my two favourite vampire movies. "Salem's Lot" (1979) would be third, followed by "Dracula" (1931).

This comes from a very difficult movie trivia contest. If anyone has any ideas or leads, it would be very helpful:

Though much of the material from its original scrrenplay was already drawn from a literary source, this classic horror film was novelized three times by different authors over a nearly 50 year period, as a hardcover, a paperback original and a book for young readers. Name the film.

Thanks . . .

Zombie-F
08-08-2005, 07:25 PM
Ok, since it would seem Yellowdog here is never coming back to give us a hint or an answer, I'm grabbing the bull by the horns and am moving this thread forward.

I was just watching Elm St 3 and saw something that amused me, so I'm making a trivia question out of it.

In A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, Dr. Gordon and Nancy's father must go put Freddy's bones to rest if his soul is to be at rest. Dr. Gordon snatches a bottle of liquor from Lt. Thompson and fills it with Holy Water at a church. What kind of liquor was Lt. Thompson drinking?

Hint: Former Badassuniverse chatters will know this one... :D

Sinister
08-11-2005, 03:28 PM
Fuck! It has been soooo long ago and I no longer own Elm Street 3, but I'm going to take a stab at it. Is it Jagermeister? I know Pete, formerly known as The Creep, formerly known as Blurry loves the stuff and a lot of our chats was brought to you by it...

Zombie-F
08-11-2005, 05:40 PM
Wrong forum member's drink of choice. Nice guess though.

Another hint: Black Sheep.

RAXL
08-11-2005, 08:16 PM
Was it Yukon Jack?
And, wasn't Black Sheep a Farely/Spade movie? :googly: :confused:

Zombie-F
08-11-2005, 09:10 PM
Ar, yes it was Yukon Jack. That means it's Raxl's turn to come up with a question.

Sinister
08-11-2005, 10:16 PM
Everybody breakout your copies of Ghostbusters I & II I can only begin to guess what Raxl will have in store for us.

Zombie-F
08-12-2005, 07:20 AM
Hey, it could also be a Friday the 13th question. There's more trivia floating around in his head than we could shake a stick at.

RAXL
08-12-2005, 09:25 PM
OK, I was gonna do a Ghostbusters question, but thought I'd get pitched to much crap about how it's not a horror movie. Unless you're at Best Buy.

So, we fall back to Plan B.

In JASON GOES TO HELL, what is the name of the TV show that hires Creighton Duke to destroy Jason, once and for all. :voorhees:


Or, there's always Plan C. What was Roy's last name. :googly: :p :zombie:

Zombie-F
08-12-2005, 10:36 PM
HA! I can answer both.

American Case File and...

ROY BURNS

Boo-yah.
What are you, some kinda geek or something? :p :voorhees:

Zombie-F
08-13-2005, 08:21 AM
Well, yes. I saw Jason Goes to Hell twice IN A ROW at the theater, and how many times have I seen part 5 (with or without you guys) now?

Let's see...

The actor who narrated the beginning of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre moved on to fame as an actor in a popular mid-80's sitcom. Who was the actor and what show was he on?

Non Compos Mentis
08-13-2005, 01:13 PM
The answer is: John Larquette(not sure of the spelling) and he was on Night Court

Zombie-F
08-13-2005, 01:24 PM
Yep, it was John Laroquette (not too sure on spelling either) and his show was indeed Night Court.

Your turn to ask a question.

Non Compos Mentis
08-13-2005, 01:53 PM
What was the name of the movie in which Brad Pitt's best friend is a serial killer?

Sinister
08-13-2005, 02:59 PM
Would that be, Cutting Class?

You are correct, sir! Now, its your turn, SIN.

Sinister
08-16-2005, 10:24 PM
Besides Tom Savini, what other actor has played a part in at least more than one George A. Romero Dead film?

Doctorthingit
08-16-2005, 11:44 PM
The actor who played the 'Lead Zombie' by name in the credits in Dawn of the Dead, the Escalater Zombie?? The one I think with a white sweator on, he was a tiny bit chubby and looked like he was balding.

Sinister
08-16-2005, 11:51 PM
You're close. The actor was indeed in that movie, but he was in another as well. He died in one film, but not the other. I really don't know what other clues to give you. :(

Doctorthingit
08-16-2005, 11:53 PM
The Escalater zombie was not my first guess. My first guess was: George A. Romero, himself? I feel stupid for changing it. But I don't remember seeing him in the first movie and I don't remember Day of the Dead well enough to say.

I'd like to guess again, George A. Romero.

Sinister
08-17-2005, 12:00 AM
I'm going to go ahead and give it to you. I fucking forgot all about George in the series. He isn't really an actor, but for my own screw-up, I have no choice but to let you go ahead take the next turn. The actor is Joe Pilato. He played one of the cops at the police filling station, but he is most widely known for his role as the villainous Capt. Rhodes in Day of the Dead. George did two turns as well, playing a news reporter both times in Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead respectively.

This gritty little B-flick from the mid-80s featured a surprisingly extensive cast of TV stars... before any of them had appeared on the successful shows that made them famous. What would this ugly little movie be?

Zombie-F
08-17-2005, 06:32 AM
Fright Night?

Doctorthingit
08-17-2005, 02:17 PM
No, that's a little more polished than I was thinking of. This one is older than that, cheaper, a lot dirtier (think really dark and dirty), more recognizable TV stars. And the last clue for this post, I count 8 major TV actors. Major in the sense that they were on high-profile TV shows, and they each played fairly large parts.

Oh, I'll give another clue: conspiracy theory

Sinister
08-17-2005, 07:49 PM
Is it Deadly Blessings?

Doctorthingit
08-18-2005, 03:03 AM
Nope. Too bad I haven't seen that one though.

Next clue: Takes place in a city, and part of the plot has to do with city elements (though I'd say the specific city itself is pretty much irrelevant).

Sinister
08-18-2005, 12:45 PM
Damn, damn, damn! I'm going to mull this one over a few days before I finally give in. I'm probably going to kick myself in the ass when I finally realize what it is. :mad:

Doctorthingit
08-18-2005, 06:49 PM
Let me compile an index of the clues:

This gritty, ultra-cheap little B-flick from the mid-80s featured a surprisingly extensive cast of at least 8 major TV actors, before any of them had appeared on the high-profile, successful shows that made them famous. Each played fairly large parts (in their respective shows, not the movie). What would this ugly little movie be?

Conspiracy theory.

Takes place in a city, and part of the plot has to do with city elements (though I'd say the specific city itself is pretty much irrelevant).

Half or more of the movie is about - cops.

Sinister
08-18-2005, 09:33 PM
I'm stuck. Anyone else want a shot at this?

Doctorthingit
08-19-2005, 12:32 PM
The main 'hero' and 'villain(s)' are both detectives / cops. And several scenes involve characters going places they really don't want to be, unaware of the film's threat. We don't see that threat onscreen for more than a few minutes total, though it's hinted at many times (not a surrealist movie). A lot of cops in this movie. Also, there's a scene where a person swallows a coin.

Sinister
08-25-2005, 08:07 PM
Since THingit is never coming back, we shall proceed without him, and sadly, without the answer to his Trivia question. here goes the next question in the round:

Anders Hove, the Count Orlock-like Radu Vladislas in the Subspecies series, played the same part on two different soap operas in the early 90's throughout the decade until 2000. Name either soap opera, give yourself a slap on the back if you can name both, and give me his characters name.

In The Evil Dead what movie poster can be found torn in half in the cabin's basement?

Sinister
08-31-2005, 06:17 PM
Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes to which Craven reciprocated by letting Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp) watch The Evil Dead when she starred in A Nightmare on Elm Street as she was trying to stay awake to avoid the boogeyman, Freddy Krueger.

In the end of Day of the Dead as Rhoads is torn apart by Zombies there is a "Joke" item in with the blood and guts and intestines, what was it?

dougspaulding
09-14-2005, 01:55 PM
I don't know what the joke item was, but another interesting bit of trivia:

Real pig guts were used for the scene where Joe Pilato (Rhodes) is ripped in half. The guts were accidentally left out of the freezer for the weekend and so were rotten when they were used. The stench was so bad that everybody ran off the set once they finished.

Anybody know the joke item, or need we a clue?

Louis de Pointe du Lac

I think. I'm not the biggest Rice fan in the world.

Which film is considered by Vincent Price to be his personal favorite of all his films?

Thanks for that blast from the past, but no, it wasn't that film. Sorry.

Sinister
01-08-2006, 11:24 AM
His best role will always be Anton Phibes, I doubt that's it, but I'm going to say The Abominable Dr. Phibes.

dougspaulding
01-08-2006, 12:43 PM
Sorry.

Sinister
01-08-2006, 01:12 PM
This is an exercise in utter folly. We need a REAL clue, DS, not a red herring of one like it being Price's favorite film he starred in. :googly:

dougspaulding
01-08-2006, 02:00 PM
If this game was easy, anybody could win.

Very well:

Vincent Price fell in love with and married actress Coral Browne during production.

Sinister
01-08-2006, 02:11 PM
Madhouse?

Yes, if these were easy, no one would win, on that you are correct, but there has to be a possibility of doing so. Occasionally, this calls for a legitimate clue. Someone's favorite movie they starred in, doesn't qualify, I would think. I couldn't tell you how many A-List actors/actresses, B-Movie stars and no-talents have spouted that the film they were currently involved in was "their favorite movie they were in" until it failed in box office sales or DVD rentals/sales. Then, they badmouth it all they can, without backing up and seeing in print just the opposite of what they're on a kick about the second time around. Show Biz; who can figger it?

Price is dead and can't refute anything he might have said. But that is neither here nor there. Anyone can feel free to dispute me on this, but I don't believe "favorite film I starred in," is a legitimate clue. Sorry.

dougspaulding
01-08-2006, 02:15 PM
I have taken your suggestion and acted upon it:

Edward Lionheart is an actor overlooked for a critics' acting award, despite producing a season of Shakespeare plays. After confronting the Critics' Circle, an attempted suicidal dive into the Thames results in Lionheart being rescued by your typical paraffin/meths/turps swigging tramps. Lionheart then (presumed dead) exacts his grizzly, and quite amusing revenge on the critics who denied him his finest hour.

It's so tempting to cheat and look it up, but I'll let someone who actually knows it answer...

In this 1970's horror film, a real human skeleton was used toward the end of the flick because it actually cost less than a fake plastic one. Name the movie.

Mr_Chicken
01-05-2009, 01:04 PM
House on Haunted Hill? pretty sure that was 60s, though
Plan 9 From Outer Space? but that must've been in the 50s...
Hmm...I know they originally used real skelies in the Pirates ride, but that was in the 60s, and it's not a movie...
:googly:

RoxyBlue
01-05-2009, 01:35 PM
Could be true (which is why I narrowed it done to the 1970s), but not the movie I had in mind, Mr C.

(The two movies you mention were released in the 50s - fabulously cheesy!)

Spooky1
01-05-2009, 02:30 PM
How about, Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's also rumored the real human skeletons were used in the pool scene in "Poltergeist", but that was made in 1982.

RoxyBlue
01-05-2009, 03:42 PM
Not thinking of Rocky Horror, either.

Here's a hint - this movie was initially banned in many countries due to its alleged graphic content. It is now considered a classic among horror films.

RoxyBlue
01-06-2009, 11:08 AM
Hint #2 - Although the movie actually had minimal gore and very little violence, it is considered a landmark slasher film.

Mr_Chicken
01-06-2009, 01:45 PM
Halloween?
Haven't seen it, so I don't know if there's a skely or not, but it's in the 70s and I saw a documentary about its lack of gore.

RoxyBlue
01-06-2009, 01:51 PM
Nope. Correct decade, though - Halloween was initially released a few years after the movie I have in mind. It also spawned sequels (as did Halloween).

Mr_Chicken
01-06-2009, 02:57 PM
Texas Chainsaw Massacre?
Again, haven't seen it, but it was in the 70s...

RoxyBlue
01-06-2009, 03:01 PM
BINGO!

You're up.

What was William Castle's gimmick in The Tingler, and how did it work?

Spooky1
01-06-2009, 03:34 PM
Didn't he put buzzers under some of the seats in movie theaters that were set off to scare the viewers during certain scenes? (I didn't even have to look this one up :))

Mr_Chicken
01-06-2009, 05:05 PM
Yep. You're up!

Spooky1
01-06-2009, 05:31 PM
Name the 60's horror movie that caused the lead actress to get divorced. The actresses (famous) husband demanded she be done with filming by a certain date or he'd divorce her (He wanted her to be in a movie with him that was about to start filming). She continued on with the filming and was served divorce papers on the set of the movie.

Spooky1
01-09-2009, 12:36 AM
Hint #1 - This movie was nominated for 2 oscars and won 1.

Johnny Thunder

Wild guess -

Rosemary's Baby

Spooky1

You are correct Johnny.

"It was on the set of Rosemary's baby that Mia Farrow received divorce papers from then-husband Frank Sinatra."

Your turn.

Nope.

01-16-2009, 11:25 AM
Nope, try again

Mr_Chicken
01-16-2009, 06:30 PM
Okay, so I kind of cheated and looked it up, so I'll say that this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0026138/)is my answer, but if anyone else guesses correctly before Spooky answers, I'll give it to them.

RoxyBlue
01-17-2009, 01:12 PM
Since I'm signed in at the moment, I'll forward Spooky1's answer: "'You are correct, Sir!"

Your turn, Mr C.

Spooky1
01-17-2009, 03:14 PM
You are correct Mr. C. it was the Bride of Frankenstein. It's not cheating to figure it out with a little research. How do you think we figure out most of the movie pics or trivia. :D

Your turn now MC.

Mr_Chicken

This one shouldn't be too hard.
What was the first movie appearance of the Igor/Ygor character?

Johnny Thunder

I'll go with Lugosi in Son of Frankenstein as Ygor.

RoxyBlue
01-30-2009, 08:59 PM
Okay, here we go:

In what movie did an actor who commanded a starship in a well-known TV series co-star with live tarantulas?

RoxyBlue
02-02-2009, 11:33 AM
Hint #1 - This movie was released in the late 1970s.

Spooky1
02-02-2009, 11:56 AM
That should be "Kingdom of the Spiders" aka. Capt. Kirk vs. the Alien Space Tarantulas. :D

RoxyBlue
02-02-2009, 12:56 PM
You got it, babe - you're up!

Spooky1
02-02-2009, 12:59 PM
I'll stick with spider trivia.

Name the movie.

The giant spider of this movie was merely a customized Volkswagen Beetle covered with fake fur and strapped with long, scraggly legs, which were then “moved” by a group of handlers to simulate crawling.

Shouldn't Brock Sampson of The Venture Brothers be on that list?:D

Spooky1
02-04-2009, 12:13 PM
I'd have to go with D. Jason Voorhees. I think there have been more Jason movies to help rack up the body count. Does this include the new movie?
