About the movie: Relatives of an eccentric millionaire gather in his spooky mansion on the 20th anniversary of his death for the reading of his will.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Cat and the Canary (1927)?
a.		Fredric March was approached by Charles Laughton (a known homosexual) during the filming of "Sign of the Cross", and as March recalled to Lawrence Quirk, Laughton always made him very nervous and uncomfortable, especially when he used to try to look up his toga.
b.		Writer/director Robert F. Hill not only wrote the adaptation for this film but also served as a sort of assistant/associate director for Paul Leni. Leni, a German, didnt speak much English, and Hill spoke German, so he acted as a liaison between Leni and the cast and crew.
c.		Thousands of extras were used, including Spanish soldiers and villagers, and Finnish Laplanders (for the scenes in Siberia when Zhivago deserts the Red Army).
d.		Dr. Logan figures that the ratio of the undead to the human survivors is 400,000:1. When the film was made, in 1985, the population of the United States in our universe stood at about 240 million. If Dr. Logan is right, and the US population of this universe stood at roughly the same, and this film took place in 1985, there are 600 living human beings left in the USA. However, since the history of the universe in the "of the Dead" movies had radically diverged from real world history even before the ghouls emerged (notice the Venus probe in the first movie), the timeline of the "Dead" movies remains unclear (the Stephen King novel Salems Lost appears in this film, even though in the real world it came out in 1975; note that the first film in this series came out in 1968; Diary of the Dead, set simultaneously with the events of Night of the Living Dead, features technology not available in 1968 in our world), and we do not know how long after the ghouls emerged that this film takes place, one cannot easily presume that this film takes place in 1985 or that the US population would have remained the same.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Cat and the Canary (1927)?
a.		Harris Yulin: As Detective Oller.
b.		The play on which this film is based opened in New York on 7 February 1922 at the National Theater. It closed in May 1922 after 148 performances.
c.		The lyric "Well always be dear companions, My crony, My mate. Well always be harmonizing, Orphan Annie and Sandy, like Amos and Andy!" was cut from the "Bosom Buddies" number, though it is left intact on the original soundtrack album.
d.		Samuel Fuller wanted Kris Kristofferson for a part, but he had to turn it down due to some music work.
