1. The story began with a definition of the word Lycanthrophy. Three other words on the same page of the encyclopedia that was opened also appeared in capital letters. Do you remember what they were? We do.
2. Why was Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr.) summoned to his father's (Claude Rains) estate in the film's opening sequence?
3. Sir John Talbot was referring of course to his maker when he remarked, "All astronomers are amateurs. When it comes to the heavens, there's only one professional." What would Larry have been referring to he if replied, "I know that doesn't put you in his league, but it's an impressive achievement, nonetheless"?
4. The tradition of the Talbot family, according to John, insisted that they be the "Stiff-necked, undemonstrative type." Did he feel that was a curse?
5. The date is May 18th, 2007. Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors has come to the Hilton hotel in Burbank California for three days of fun-filled terror. It's the first convention you've ever attended and you're spending cash like your name is Trump… a signed-replica of the Predator's mask, a rare, first-edition copy of Chamber of Darkness #7, signed by legendary artist Bernie Wrightson, a half-dozen vintage movie posters, even a hug from Shawnee Smith. What more could a fanboy ask for, right? "How about the silver-handled, walking cane that was used by Lon Chaney in the Wolf Man?" your girlfriend asks while waiting in line to meet Eric Red. "What about it?" you reply. "I'd trade everything I own just to be able to touch it." That's when someone interjects, "If you love the original Wolf Man movie, there's an auction at 2:30. One of the items up for sale is a walking cane." What would you see when you got there, knowing the original belonged to collector Bob Burns?
6. Larry told Gwen (Evelyn Ankers) that he was looking for a pair of gold earrings that were in the shape of a half-moon. What did he add to that description?
7. Who doesn't remember the story of Little Red Riding Hood? Our favorite line would have to be "…the better to eat you with!" Which of the following lines did Larry quote in the chapter entitled The Walking Stick?

B. "What big eyes you have."
C. "What big teeth you have."
8. "Even a man who is pure of heart and says his prayers at night may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright." Gwen was the first person to recite that poem. Who was the second?
9. Every werewolf was marked with a five-pointed star. That same mark could also be found in the palm of the creature's next victim. Our question is, where was that mark first seen?
10. The mark of the werewolf appeared on Bela's (Bela Lugosi) forehead while he was reading Jenny's (Fay Helm) fortune, but she didn't see it. Tell us why.
11. Larry told Gwen that he was afraid of something before he left her father's antique shop. What was it?
12. When Gwen found Larry in the woods, after he was bitten, she knew that something was wrong because he was writhing on the ground in agony. Did she ask him what happened, or did he tell her?
13. What did Twiddle (Forrester Harvey) make a note of while Colonel Montford (Ralph Bellamy) was examining Bela's body?
14. Complete the following quote: If Larry sighed, "Didn't you see the wound on Jenny's neck? Isn't that enough to convince you?" he may have gotten the following answer from the Colonel: "The question here isn't whether she was attacked by some type of animal, but rather, why aren't there any __________ . How do you explain that?"
15. Who was Larry talking to when he wondered why everyone thought he was the one who was confused?
16. "The way you walked was thorny through no fault of your own. But as the rain enters the soil, the rivers enter the sea, so tears run to a predestined end. Your suffering is over, Bela, my son. Now you will find peace." That prayer, like the poem, was recited three times in the film. The question isn't who said it, but rather, did Maleva (Maria Ouspenskaya) include the words "My son" when she repeated those words for Larry?

18. Which (if any) of the following statements

19. Frank (Patric Knowles) claimed he didn't see Larry's gesture because his eyes were focused on his walking stick when he was asked why he didn't shake Larry's hand. That was part of the reason, but there was more to it than that. There was something about Larry that he didn't like. Even his dog sensed it. Is any part of that statement incorrect?
20. Who was talking to whom when the following words were spoken, "There's something very tragic about that man, and I'm sure that nothing but harm will come to you through him"?
21. If the person who said, "There's something very tragic about that man…" went to Larry's father with the suspicions he had, it may have convinced him of his son's story because he trusted that person. What was that trust based on?
22. Fill in the blank: Larry wanted Gwen to take the pentagram charm he was given, but she didn't believe in taking things without giving something in return. That was why she offered to give him __________ .
23. True or False: The charm had the power to break the spell that Larry was cursed with.
24. The gravedigger (Tom Stevenson) that was killed in the churchyard was the Wolf Man's first (and only) victim. How did Larry try to cover his tracks, so to speak, when he woke up in the morning?
25. Unscramble the underlined word: When Larry asked his father if he believed a man could become a wolf, his father replied, "Most anything can happen to a man in his own mind." That was because he thought Lycanthrophia was a variety of ACEHHIINOPRSZ.
26. Unlike the creature that David Naughton's character became in An American Werewolf in London, Larry's transformation was more subtle and a lot less painful. He knew his body was changing when he noticed an excess amount of hair growing on which one of his legs?
27. Colonel Montford wanted to send something he found to Scotland Yard for inspection, but he was talked out of it. What was the item and why did he reconsider?
28. What was the Colonel referring to when he later remarked, "We might not find anything more than (that), but even that may be interesting"?
29. Dr. Lloyd (Warren Williams) told Larry that his condition might be a case of mental suggestion, plus mass hypnotism. What did he mean by that?
30. What question did Dr. Lloyd answer with the words, "Not that I know of"?
31. Larry's asked Maleva three questions when he regained consciousness. The first was, "What are you doing here?" What were the other two?
32. How did Larry explain what he was doing out in the woods, all alone, to the hunters that spotted him?
33. True or False: John noticed that his son was walking with a limp when he asked him where he was the night that Richardson was murdered.
34. What frightened Larry when he went back to the antique shop to tell Gwen that he was going home, before he killed anyone else?
35. The Wolf Man was bludgeoned to death with the same cane that was used to kill Bela when he tried to attack Larry's father in the woods. Was John alone when his son reverted back to his human form?
36. Colonel Montford obviously didn't see what John saw. If he had, he wouldn't have come to this conclusion.
37. What was the last question in the film, and to whom was it addressed?
