1.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Paris Holiday (1958)?
a.
The characters take refuge in an isolated farmhouse early in the film. Next to one of the doors, visible in shots of the exterior of the house, is the name of the owner - "M Celeste", in nail-on letters in a script font. This seems to be homage to the sailing ship "Marie Celeste", which was discovered in the Atlantic Ocean unmanned and under sail heading towards the Strait of Gibraltar in 1872. Her crew was not on board and the only lifeboat gone, but the ship had no damage and was sea worthy. Like the ship, the house was (relatively) undamaged by its ordeal and could have been immediately occupied. According to
Tom Savini
s commentary on the DVD, the name is deliberate reference to the state of the house.
b.
One working idea for the movie was that Frank-N-Futer was going to come back from the dead and travel to Denton to find out Janet was pregnant with his child. Brad and Dr. Scott were supposed to have become lovers, and discovered a way to revive Frank using virgin blood.
