birthday quiz: lets get quizzical with some monsters

Here's a birthday quiz readers.

Distinctly Sci-Fi.

TWO answers per reader. Leave them in the comments. Stop eating the birthday cake and get responding!

Number 7's slippery answer can be partly double-checked from the initials of the first 6 answers - so you may have to write them down for yourselves anyway!
  1. A dystopia where citizens live on nothing more than green wafers
  2. A Stephen King nightmare world where time is eaten by greedy critters
  3. The cat's collar which meant 'worlds' to one great big 'bug'
  4. Fighting hybrids of orcs and men bred by Saruman
  5. Saying Klaatu Barada Nikto led to this thing staying put
  6. The alliterative director of Carnival of Souls
  7. The real location of Tracy Island
  8. What is the link between a 1973 prog rock album and the 1979 film Alien?
  9. Who said this ? "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die."
       Name the following monsters and films:
  • 10 =1
  • 11 =2
  • 12 =3
  • 13 =4
  • 14 =5
  • 15 =6

  4. sounds like a character out of Worzel Gummidge, but number 14, pumpkinhead, is actually from the fevered imagination of Stan Winston. Is number 3 Orion the cat?
