The Mogwai came with "much responsibility" and three rules in Gremlins - never expose them to sunlight, never get them wet and never, under any circumstances, feed them after midnight. How was Billy (Zach Galligan) tricked into doing the latter?

File this one under the category of Who knew something like that could be so much fun? What did Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) say he sort of enjoyed doing for the first time in Home Alone?

The Grinch (Jim Carrey) shouted the names of four imaginary reindeer when he began his descent down the side of Mount Crumpit in How the Grinch Stole Christmas. We'll give you a point for each correct answer on this one, but deduct two for each one you miss.
Answers

Bad Santa
The correct answer is B. He did reek of alcohol, but he wasn't covered in vomit when she met him. If you're asking us why a ski mask would be cause for concern in the middle of winter, well, consider where they were - Phoenix, Arizona.

A Christmas Story
He skipped the "Triple Dare."

Elf
A. "If you see some gum on the street, leave it there. It's not free candy."
B. Santa told Buddy that he'd find a lot of pizzerias in New York City that were called Ray's, but there was only one original.
C. A sign that read "Peep Show" wasn't an offer to look at presents before Christmas.

Gremlins
Billy's alarm clock stopped at 11:35 after some of the creatures chewed through the cord.

Home Alone
He said he sort of enjoyed the feeling he got from washing in between his toes and the crevice in his belly button.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Crasher, Thrasher, Vomit, and Blitzkrieg

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
B

The Nightmare Before Christmas
He said he was a fearsome king with a deep, mighty voice.

The Santa Clause
He told Neal (Judge Reinhold) that Santa turned himself into Jell-O and slurped. A fireplace would supposedly appear whenever he did that.

Scrooged
That was his idea.
When Mary (Nicolette Scorsese), the woman who tried to sell Clark (Chevy Chase) some lingerie in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, asked if she could take something out for him, the reaction she got was classic. Did he…
  A. Swallow the piece of gum he
  was chewing
  B. Start to wheeze
  C. Begin to stutter
  D. Unzip his pants and playfully answer,
  "Sure, if you let me take something out
  for you!"

How did Jack (Chris Sarandon) describe Santa Claus to the residents of Halloween Town in The Nightmare Before Christmas?

How can someone so fat get down a chimney? That question was answered with the words, "He sucks (his gut in) like grandpa" in The Santa Clause. Even if that were true, it didn't explain how Santa got into the homes of people who didn't have fireplaces. What did Charlie (Eric Lloyd) think St. Nicholas did in that situation?

When Frank Cross (Bill Murray) heard that an 80-year-old woman dropped dead while watching one of his Scrooged promos, he exclaimed, "This is terrific… you can't buy publicity like this!" But he didn't want something like that to happen again so he added a disclaimer that read, "Anyone with a heart condition must leave the room." The question is, was that his idea or someone else's?
