Dracula (1931)
Quiz of the Week
2. Renfield was told that Dracula's castle was
full of vampires. But he chose to ignore that warning. Why?
3. Someone made the sign of the Holy Cross after Renfield said something to the innkeeper (Michael Visaroff). What word got that person's attention?
4. Which (if any) of the following statements are incorrect?
A. Dracula's castle was located in the
mountains of Transylvania. But no mention
of that was made in the film's opening
sequence.
B. The reason why Renfield left the inn shortly before nightfall was because he was told that a carriage would pick him up at the Borgo Pass at midnight.
C. Renfield took the crucifix he was given, but
it was for his "mother's sake." Not his own.
D. Dracula's first words to Renfield were,
"I bid you welcome."
5. Renfield thought the driver of his coach disappeared after Dracula transformed himself
into a bat. He also wanted to know what happened to his luggage. What did he seem puzzled by when he arrived at Castle Dracula?
6. Why was Renfield summoned to Dracula's castle?
7. The ruined castle, the coffins, Dracula's
hypnotic stare… any one of those should have been enough to convince Renfield of the stories
he heard. He was even given a warning of some type after Dracula introduced himself. What would Professor Van Helsing (Edward Van Sloan) have been referring to if he remarked, "You should have fled the castle when you heard that"?
8. Dracula told Renfield that he was taking three boxes to London. But he didn't tell him what the boxes contained. We're sure you know the answer to that question, so we'll make this one a little more challenging and ask you what prompted the disclosure of that information, as vague as it was?
9. Here's something else you should remember.
It wasn't clear what Renfield stuck himself with
until he mentioned that it was a paperclip. Our question is this - were Dracula's fangs exposed prior to that?
10. Renfield was left with a supply of rats,
spiders and insects as a reward for his loyalty. Were those the only things he asked for?
11. Dracula chartered a Scandinavian schooner called the Vesta to reach London. What port did
the ship arrive in?
12. The headline, "Crew of Corpses Found on Derelict Vessel" appeared on the front page of which of the following newspapers?
A. The London Times
B. The London Herald
C. The London Gazette
D. None of the above. The name of the
newspaper was cut off near the top of the
frame. So your guess is as good as ours.
13. We'll give you the answer to this one, you give us the question - They heard someone laughing.
14. Let's say Dracula's first female victim (Anita Harder) was found alive. Her description of the count would have differed in some way from Renfield's. For instance, she probably would have told the authorities that he was wearing a cape. What else?
15. It was Dr. Seward (Herbert Bunston) who introduced Lucy (Frances Dade) to Dracula.
Was he also the last person to see her alive?
16. Dracula told Lucy that the crumbling walls
in his new home reminded him of the broken battlements in his castle. What did Lucy say
the old abbey reminded her of?
17. They say that imitation is the sincerest form
of flattery, unless you're mocking someone.
That's what Mina did when she mimicked Dracula's
accent. The question is; which of his words did
she repeat?
18. If we asked you how Dracula got into Lucy's bedroom the night he killed her, you'd say, "He flew in through an open window under the guise of a bat," right? Did she scream?
19. An autopsy on Lucy's body revealed that she died from an unnatural loss of blood. The word "unnatural" could have also been used to describe Renfield's diet. Did his cravings leans towards spiders, flies or rats?
20. What question did Renfield answer with the words, "My cries at night might disturb (her)"?
21. What was Renfield referring to when he exclaimed, "You know too much to live!"?
22. This was the reason why Harker didn't see
the bite marks on Mina's neck when she gasped,
"It seemed as if all the life had been drained out of me."
23. Wouldn't it have been ironic if it took something that couldn't be seen to convince Harker that Dracula was, in fact, a vampire? Tell us what
we're referring to.
24. Dracula apologized for two different things before he left Dr. Seward's home. The mirror he broke and what else?
25. When Mina was asked if she saw Miss Lucy after she was buried, Harker reacted in a way
that spoke volumes. What did he do?
26. Van Helsing asked Briggs (Joan Standing) to place the wreath that was made out of wolfs
bane around Mina's neck to protect her from
Dracula after she retired for the night. He also
asked her to watch Mina closely, and to make
sure she didn't remove it in her sleep. What did
he add to those instructions?
27. What indicated Renfield's whereabouts after Van Helsing remarked, "Our only chance of saving Mina's life is to find the hiding place of Dracula's living corpse"?
28. "They were like his, only smaller." That was how Renfield described the eyes of the rats that appeared in the mist. What did Mina claim to see when she described the same thing?
29. Mina's physical appearance never changed,
but it was obvious (to anyone who believed in vampires) that she was becoming a nosferatu.
That was indicated by what confession in the chapter entitled The Vampire's Curse?
30. It was Renfield who cried, "God will not damn a lunatic's soul (because) he knows the powers of evil are too great for those of us with weak minds." If he truly believed that, he wouldn't have said what he did to Dracula while he was pleading for his life. What were his last words?
31. Two boxes were found when Van Helsing searched the old abbey. Was Dracula in the first crate that was opened?
32. We need to get started on another quiz so
you'll have to finish this one without us. Where
did Harker go when he left Van Helsing alone for
a few minutes?
33. When Van Helsing drove a stake through Dracula's heart, his agony was conveyed through Mina in some way. Do you remember how?
34. Ready for the last question? "Not yet," you say? Okay, we'll think of one more while you figure this one out. What was Van Helsing referring to when he remarked, "Not yet" in the film's closing sequence?
35. This is it, folks. A two-part question that's
worth two points. The first part involves the two foreign languages that were spoken in the film.
The second pertains to the film's only two pieces
of music. We thought about making it a four-point question - one for each correct answer, but
we're doing you a favor by giving you one less question to screw up. So go ahead, prove us wrong!
