physically demanding role than the ones he
was used to.

to emphasise why magic users in the movie
are scared to make themselves known to the
rest of the world.
Which case will that be?
A - The Salem Witch Trials
B - The Witches of Belvoir Case
C - The Pappenheimer Family Case
(Screen lights up A)
The most famous case of real world people
being punished for alleged witchcraft - the
Salem Witch Trials - will be heavily referred
to in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
They will be cited as the reason that magic
users are worried about revealing themselves.

did Hurt base his performance on?
A - Captain Ahab

Halloween
For years after John Carpenter's horror classic
Halloween was released, people would tell
the director how horrified they were by Michael
Myers' horribly disfigured face when his mask
was briefly removed in the movie.
Why was this a little strange?
A - He had his back to the camera at the time
B - He covered his face before it was even
revealed
C - It was the normal face of actor Tony Moran
(Screen lights up C)
All those people saw was the ordinary face
of the actor Tony Moran.
It was perfectly normal, except for a small
knife wound inflicted by Laurie during their
struggle in the closet, which was created
using special effects makeup.
Carpenter cites the power of suggestion of
cinema as the reason for their horror.
Troy
For their epic duel in 2004's Troy, Brad Pitt

A - Pitt paid Bana $750, Bana didn't owe Pitt
anything
B - Pitt paid Bana $50, Bana paid Pitt $900.
C - They each other each other $150.
(Screen lights up A)

of the two stars, as he ended up paying Eric
Bana $750, while Bana didn't owe Pitt anything
at all.
Jaws
It's a fairly well known fact that the shark
in Steven Spielberg's terrifying classic Jaws
was nicknamed "Bruce" and subsequently referred

the shark after?
