The "blackout" barge was moved around the Alabama as necessary to block out city buildings and lights.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Buck Rogers (1939)?

But because the story and screen play were scripted to have the compass and sundial, guns had to be specially made for the movie.

King wrote and makes an appearance in Creepshow. Additionally, Hal Holbrook and Tom Atkins, who starred in this film, co-starred in The Fog with Adrienne, and which Carpenter directed.
d.		If you look closely, the door the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman and Cowardly Lion rescue Dorothy through isnt the same as the one Dorothy enters the Hourglass Room through. This is due to the deletion of an entire scene in which the room the heroes enter (following the sound of someone humming, "Somewhere Over The Rainbow") holds not Dorothy, but the Wicked Witch of the West! She paralyzes the heroes, then creates a false Rainbow Bridge from that room to Dorothys. She sends a Winkie out to test it... he falls through the center of the bridge. She then magically compels our three heroes to call out to Dorothy, who runs onto the bridge... and is carried across by the magic slippers! Our friends are reunited, and (released from the witchs spell by love/the slippers, whichever) run out of the room, with the witch screaming, "Stop them!" behind them. (The scene was cut both for technical reasons... they couldnt pull off a good Rainbow Bridge... and because seeing a Winkie falling to his presumed death was considered too risky in the days of the Hays Commission.)
