1. A severed rabbit's foot might still be considered good luck in some places, but don't tell that to the residents of Prosperity, Arizona. How did such a cute and cuddly, little creature factor into the chaos that was unleashed upon the town?
2. What was the first question in the film and to whom was it addressed?
4. The call letters of the pirate radio station that was operated by Harlan were an abbreviation for what two words?
5. What was Joshua (Tom Noonan) doing when his character was introduced?
6. Where does one go to get a pair of mating orb weaver spiders? You could try your local pet store. If that fails, there's always the internet. How did Joshua obtain them?
7. You don't have to be an authority on eight-legged freaks to answer this next question, but it would certainly help. How did the female orb weaver spider differ from the male of the species?
8. Which (if any) of the following statements are incorrect?
A. The female orb weaver spider filled its prey with a
digestive acid so it could drink whatever it caught,
from the inside out.
B. Joshua was bitten on the back of the neck by the
first spider that escaped from its terrarium.
C. What do you get when you cross toxic waste
with a bunch of exotic spiders? "Eaten" was
Samantha's (Kari Wuhrer) reply.
D. The mutant arachnids bled green blood.

9. Joshua owned a parrot that kept repeating a line from one of his favorite movies. Was it "Yippie ki-ya motherfucker!" from Die Hard, "You talking to me?" from Taxi Driver or "I see dead people" from The Sixth Sense?
10. One spider, no matter how small, is usually enough to freak most people out. Mention the words "Spider Farm" and, well… try it and see what happens. Why did Samantha want her son (Scott Terra) to stay away from Joshua's farm?
11. We wouldn't call what Samantha did to keep her son from leaving the house extreme, or even unusual, but most parents would have to resort to some other means. What are we referring to?
12. How often did Mike visit Joshua's spider farm?
13. What was the name and the slogan of the company that tried to relocate the residents of Prosperity?
14. The relocation program wasn't just another one of Wade's (Leon Rippy) get-rich quick schemes, or so he claimed. Did he have any proof to support that?
15. You remember why Chris (David Arquette) returned to the town he grew up in, don't you? It was to claim the mine he inherited from his father. But that wasn't the only reason, was it?
16. What did Emma (Jane Edith Wilson) want her husband to stop doing because it was late and she was getting tired?
17. Let's say you landed the job of the film's set decorator. Two scenes have been revised from the working script. One now calls for a light fixture, the other a garden hose. Tell us why each item is needed for the script.
18. Do you ever feel like your parents don't hear a word you say? The next time that happens, try this: say something crazy like, "Don't wait up for me tonight, some friends have invited me to an orgy." Bret (Matt Czuchry) mentioned two other activities when he tried to get his step dad's attention. Do you remember what they were?
19. What was Wade looking at when he was seen from a spider's point of view?
20. We'll give you the answer to this one, you give us the question - Because cats, dogs and ostriches weren't considered game.
21. Before you read this next question, ask yourself, "Do I want to play it safe and go for one point, or take a chance and risk losing two if I get it wrong?" We hope you choose the latter. It's worth three if you nail it. Gladys (Eileen Ryan) grabbed two items when she went into the basement to find her dog, Bruiser. Now, you can either tell us what one of those items were or shut us up by naming both. The cackling starts now!
22. Complete the following quote: When Samantha asked her son about the enormous spider leg that was found in Chris' basement he replied, "It's my media-induced…"

23. How did one of the mutant arachnids get into Ashley's (Scarlett Johansson) bedroom?
24. There was a warning posted on the door to Ashley's room. The sign read, "Danger: Enter at your own risk." It also included five other words. Do you remember what they were?
25. How did Mike try to help Chris while a spider was cocooning his sister alive?
26. The spider that killed Leroy (Don Champlin) had longer legs than he did, but it still managed to sneak up on him. How did that happen?
27. True or False: Floyd (Roy Gaintner) was the last person to see Leroy alive.
28. What did Deputy Willis (Rick Overton) discover when he shot the spider that jumped onto the roof of his patrol car?
29. You wouldn't think a mutant arachnid would care what it ate, as long as it could be digested. But they were selective. If you don't believe us, fast-forward to the diner sequence. What did one of the creatures spit out?
30. Someone quoted a line from the movie Field of Dreams when everyone started running towards the mall. Was it Harlan, Deputy Willis or Wade?
31. What would a conspiracy nut kill to own? Harlan could answer that question. If you need a hint, read the question again. That's where you'll find your clue.
32. Think you could remain calm and quiet if you were trapped in a mall that was infested with mutant arachnids? For your sake, we sure hope so. Why was that advice crucial to one's survival?
33. In our Tremors quiz (see volume 4 of our promo books), we asked why no one used a CB radio to call for help. It was because the town was located in a valley. Was the town of Prosperity also surrounded by mountains?
34. If someone urged you to arm yourself, you'd look for some type of automatic weapon, wouldn't you? What did Floyd grab?
35. Fill in the blank: An entrance to the mine was found in a storage room that was located between a sewing center and the mall's __________ .
36. Here's a couple of situations you wouldn't want to find yourself in. Tell us how each person managed to escape.

36. Here's a couple of situations you wouldn't want to find yourself in. Tell us how each person managed to escape.
- A mutant arachnid has you in its grasp and is
trying to pull you through a gate.
- You're at the top of a TV antenna that's
surrounded by the creatures.

37. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, but he only brings presents to children who aren't naughty. That could explain why Norman (David Earl Waterman) never received this gift. He did find one just like it in the mineshaft. What are we referring to?
38. Who or what was Norman looking for when he was dragged away by one of the mutant arachnids?
39. What was Ashley referring to when she shouted, "You went back there for that? Lose that thing. It'll slow us down!"?
40. Two people were found cocooned alive in the mineshaft. Who were they?
41. The female orb weaver spider that tried to devour Chris in the mineshaft was repelled, ironically enough, by a shot of perfume. Was that lifted from one of the stores in the mall?
42. What triggered the explosion that incinerated the creatures?
43. No one was killed in that blast, but someone, perhaps for a moment or two, may have wished that he or someone else, had been. If we tell you who that person is, you'll know what we mean: Wade.
44. What harm could possibly come from a little toxic waste? It did wonders for Toxie (Mitchell Cohen) in the Toxic Avenger. Could the same be said about Deputy Willis?
45. A stun gun was used twice in the film. Explain how and by whom.
46. File this last question under the category of: Don't believe everything you read. What was omitted from the headline that ran in the newspaper that covered the story?
