Please help me with a horror trivia quiz
A co-worker of mine is taking a horror quiz and he needs your help on a question, since I don't know the answer to this. Any help would be appreciated! Here's the question verbatim from the quiz:
Thanks in advance.
Zombie plagues don't just effect us humans, you know... They can hit the animal community pretty hard, as well. Especially our sea loving friends. Name one movie in which an undead aquatic animal attacks a human, and one movie in which a large, ocean dwelling animal gets in a fight with a human zombie. (Hint: Read carefully...)

Just for fun here is the whole quiz (I'm bored at work) I don't have the answers to any of them unfortunately. As the answers get posted, I'll spoiler them after each question.
1) What actor has appeared on screen, in one form or another, as Leatherface, Jason Voorhees and Freddy Kruger?
2) High gas prices can be the death of a good car chase. How much fuel does the killer put in his van in the French survival horror Haute Tension?
3) What ominous procedure did Dr. Hibbert perform on Bart’s evil twin Hugo to confirm the presence of pure evil on The Simpsons?
4) John Carpenter’s classic They Live is remembered for many things. But what stands out in most minds is the famous fight scene between Rowdy Roddy Piper and Keith David. What cartoon spoofed this fight scenes and which two characters were involved?
5) Freddy Kruger has a face even a mother couldn’t love. Speaking of Mrs. Kruger, how did she become pregnant with her little bundle of joy?
6) I scream, you scream, we all scream of ice cream. What type of ice cream do Baby and Captain Spaulding scream for in The Devil’s Rejects?
7) In the French classic Les Diabolique, who does Moinet say returned his slingshot to him, and why does his answer seem odd?
8) I love a bar with killer night life! In the vamp flick Near Dark, Bill Paxton has a very odd weapon at his disposal, and doesn’t hesitate to use it during a bar brawl on the bartender himself. What is this weapon, and what exactly does old Bill do with it?
9) In Shaun of the Dead, Shaun gets no respect at work. He is especially annoyed with a certain co-worker who’s cell phone goes off during an employee meeting. What is this obnoxious character’s name and where do we see him again later in the movie?
10) What film does Peter Tscherkassky use scenes from in his 1998 masterpiece of deconstruction Outer Space? (It’s on the Experiments in Terror DVD)
11) In the Masters of Horror episode “Cigarette Burns” the film “La Fin Absolue du Monde” causes an aggressive, violent reaction every time it is shown. However, after cult icon Udo Kier watches the film, he decides to make his own film. How does he go about “making” this movie?
12) Who, or what, are the parents of the charming Crypt Keeper from Tales from the Crypt? They are just as attractive as he is…
13) In Bill Paxton’s impressive slasher gem Frailty, what are the three demon slaying weapons that God helps Mr. Meiks find?
14) Eli Roth has a habit of “paying homage” to many of his favorite films. During a sex scene in Hostel, a remix of an iconic song from a classic horror film is heard. Ironically, that same film was remade the following year. What is the name of the film, and what is the title of the song?
15) Everything has something to gain, or lose, in the short film “Dumplings” from the collection 3 Extremes. Some want to gain more life while others want to rid themselves of the same. What exactly is wrong with the “special” dumplings that are made via the school girl and make the character fertile and smell fishy?
16) What is green, irish, scary and Back 2 the Hood? Why, the Leprechaun, of course! Speaking of green, with what object does the Leprechaun kill his half-baked homie with?
17) Rolling through the deserts of Nevada, one comes upon the town of Desperation – a hell hole right out of a Stephen King novel. It doesn’t seem surprising when what comes out of the food co-op’s slot machine?
18) There are more differences between the original Night of the Living Dead and Tom Savini’s remake than any one person should be asked to count. What is the major difference between Ben at the end of the original and Ben at the end of the remake? On a similar note, what is different about the very first man that Barbera and her brother meet in the cemetery in the remake?
19) In Bubba Ho-Tep, Don Coscarelli’s Tutuncommonly wacky movie, what is the name of Elvis’ cowboy clad friend?
20) Good old Rutger Hauer. He never fails to scare the hell out of everybody. Especially as he chases C. Thomas through the desert in The Hitcher. Howell is driving a fancy car for a drive away service when the madness begins. What is the company’s phone number and why does Howell remember it so well?
21) Wes Craven is a true master of horror (we’ll turn a blind eye to Music of the Heart for now). He has created several iconic horror characters, one of which was based on a very famous painting. What is the title of the movie starring the inspired character, and who painted the original work?
22) Some people love things a little too much: cars, shoes…bugs? In the zany Masters of Horror film “Sick Girl,” the Brazillian bug lays its eggs where?
23) In the 2004 film Marebito, Masuoko discovers a naked girl creature in a mysterious underground world. This “underground world” is based on a theory that briefly became popular in the 60’s. What is the theory and who was the first major proprietor of the theory, when he sent in a story to “Amazing Stories?”
24) Do you like Hitchcock? Try Dario Argento. In his chilling contribution to the Masters of Horror series, how many times does “Jenifer” have a snack?
25) Is anything more frightening than an old, creepy funeral home? How about moving your entire family into an old house used to prepare the dead – complete with its own cemetery! This is the case in the movie Mortuary. A local cop warns the mother of the family that local teenagers are attracted to the burial grounds. He coins the saying, “Together we can stop graveyard __________.” Darn teenagers!
26) In season 5 of the X-Files, Mulder and Scully discover a town full of vampires that drug their victims before draining their blood. What 3 toppings are on the delicious dish found in a victim’s stomach? Sully decides to order the same dish from what cleverly named delivery service?
27) Everybody loves a good cup of joe… even while trying to avoid a zombie bite to the neck! What is the name of the mall’s coffee shop in Dawn of the Dead?
28) Family sticks together ‘till the end. This includes the typical homicidal Siamese twin sister disconnected by a creepy doctor in love with her sibling. Anyway, what animal hangs out next to the couch containing a dead guy in the 1972 twisted sister flick appropriately titled Sisters?
29) Easily one of the most underrated horror movies of the 80s, Anguish stars horror icon Zelda Rubinstein of Poltergeist fame. This twisting tale includes a helicopter rescue scene. Hmm? What is the combination of letters and numbers on the underside of the chopper?
30) Demons and anti-christs, it seems, are made, not born. In The Visitation, Brendan/Herb describes 2 of his father’s personality traits as “a real bad combination.” What are these traits?
31) Satan has a son... and the son has a mother: Rosemary. In the classic Polanski film Rosemary’s Baby, Satan’s son has a name, what is it? And what 2 years are given as the years of it’s birth?
Bonus questions
32) In the new 2001 Maniacs, our main characters come across a hitchhiker after hitting an armadillo with their car. What is the hitchhiker’s name, who played him, and what other movie has the same character appeared in ?
33) See first post
