26/27. I think that spelling an owl's noise as "hoot" is subjective. I know I'm not alone in learning they make a "who" sound. They don't even have the ability to make a T sound because of the way their tongue works! I also understand that for the purpose of this quiz you need an "H" word, so please accept "hoo/hu".
There was a prominent ad campaign in the US during the 80's encouraging people not to litter. The commercial featured an owl and their slogan was "Give a hoot, don't pollute". Anyone growing up during that time remembers it well.
Well its ment to be a quiz that everybody can answer so it would make sense to go the universally known sound for a owl (at least in english) for Hoot. Alot of animals ' universally known sounds learnt as children ' dont actually sound like the animal but they are easy to recognise for the animal so for the purpose of the quiz i felt that was uneccessary
I had to type out the quote before getting that one - I tried crypt, mausoleum, grave, coffin, casket, then finally realized it began with a t and it was obvious. Had no idea about nosferatu, though.
In the original 1931 Frankenstein film this is true (in the book he had no assistant at all). Most subsequent Frankenstein-related films though, such as Son of Frankenstein and so on have a character named either Ygor or Igor, though. So this is one of those things that's entered the pop culture even though it's not strictly accurate, like the quote "Luke, I am your father" being attributed to Darth Vader when that's not actually what he said.
"Well they were wrong then, weren't they?"
