Congratulations to the Vampire Trivia Contest Winner

Congratulations to Jackie Ballway, who was the first person to answer all 10 vampire trivia contest questions correctly. She gets a free signed copy of NICE GIRLS DON'T HAVE FANGS, a signed cover flat and promotional bookmarks.

For those who are curious, the correct answers are:

1) Who sired who among Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Angel, Drusilla, Spike and Darla? (Provide a complete family tree, V sired X, who sired Y, who sired Z.)

Darla sired Angel, who sired Drusilla, who sired Spike.

2) What were the names of the actors who played Lucy’s three suitors in the ill-fated 1992 version of Bram Stoker’s Dracula- also known as the movie that introduced the world to Keanu Reeves’ dread British accent.

Cary Elwes, Richard E. Grant, Billy Campbell

3) Who was the master vampire of fictional Santa Carla, California? What was his profession.

Max. Video Store Owner.

4) Who was the first vampire to appear on Buffy?

Darla

5) What is the profession of Hannibal King from the Blade comics?

Private detective

6) True or false: A German-language version of Dracula was shot on the same set of the 1932 Bela Lugosi classic, at night with bilingual actors.

False, it was a Spanish version.

7) List all members of the Cullen family, excluding Bella and Nessie, by their birth names.

Carlisle Cullen, Esme Platt, Mary Alice Brandon, Jasper Whitlock, Emmet McCarty, Rosalie Hale, Edward Masen.

8) True or false: Stephen King’s fictional town of Salem’s Lot was named after a pig.

True, King wrote that Salem's Lot was originally a farm that belonged Charles B. Tanner. One of Tanner's pigs escaped into the nearby wood lot and became feral. Tanner warned children, "Keep 'ee out o' Jerusalem's wood lot," lest the pig eat their innards out."

The guy wasn't exactly old McDonald.

Eventually, the phrase "Jerusalem's Lot" was adopted as the town name.

1) Dracula, 2) Wolfman, 3) Frankenstein, 4)Mummy, 5) Creature from the Black Lagoon/Gillman.

"Emmet McCarty"

Emmett has 2 't's. (:
Thought I'd correct that 'cause I felt awesome that I knew it.
Woo hoo! I'd like to thank my husband for distracting my son long enough for me to google at the speed of light. The Twilight one about killed me. There are too many damn Twilight family trees on the Internet!!
Congrats, Jackie!

And Molly, you had a Monster Squad question! YAY! That one is a childhood favorite of mine. *g*

Congrats to the winner, however on the Angel family tree, you need an addition, Dru also sired Darla in Angel series 2 episode 10, Reunion.

If you want to really geek out...

Nobody knows who sired Heinrich Joseph Nest, best bet is that it was Aurelius himself. Nest became the Master, who sired Darla, who sired Angelus, who sired Drusilla, who sired Spike and also resired Darla.

After Angel got a soul, he sired Sam Lawson.

Angel and Darla also "sired" Conner the old fashioned way, who then got together with Cordelia and "sired" Jasmine.

Don't mess with me, I get paid to write Buffy books, LOL

Thom, I am impressed. And frightened.
Dear God in heaven Thom, I don't know whether to bow to you or knock you over the head with a lamp. : )I honestly never watched the TV show, but I noticed on a lot of the websites there were heated discussions of who really sired who. Buffy the movie is one of the best movies ever, but Sarah Michelle Gellar has always bothered me.
