No - You are not the only one. I need an answer sheet also. I can figure out most of these spoilers (& most of the posts are pretty clever) but the ones I can’t figure out are driving me nuts!
The secret play Jack has been trying to write all winter is just one sentance over and over again for hundreds of pages.
Henry kills the baby and commits suicide because “in heaven, everything is fine”.
Frollo is shoved off the cathedral by Quasimodo. Esmerelda is killed and Quasimodo stays by her body until he starves to death. Students in the distant future, say in the 1700s, find both of their skeletons.
John Merrick sleeps on his back with just one pillow, knowing he will suffocate because he wants to “sleep like normal people”.
JT you are thinking of the Disney version. In the book Esmeralda is hung and died and Quasi takes the body up into the cathedral and starves there with it.
And I was going to Life of David Gale, but Redsland beat me to it.
He gets his wings.
It wasn’t him that was killed and replaced with an alien robotic bomb, it was his wife. No wait, it was both of them after all.
He becomes a skeleton himself so that he can fight the head bad guy skeleton without having to worry about death. He then shoots the head bad guy just as the undead curse gets lifted. But the monkey enjoys being a skeleton and goes back to the treasure during the credits.
It wasn’t his girlfriend that turned him into a werewolf after all. It was the head werewolf, and through his death and the eating of his heart they both are saved.
The sniper that saves the day was a marcher in the gay pride parade that the two ex-presidents hid in while running from the bad guys.
The then-teenage girlfriend of the executed psycho killer who is now a grown woman and confined to house arrest by her mother wasn’t merely an innocent in love with the wrong guy. She committed some of the murders herself.
The reason she is afraid of the color red is due to a repressed memory. Her mother turned to prostitution to make ends meet, and one of the clients threatened to rape the daughter, so when the mother tried to stop him he began beating up the mother. The daughter took a fire poker and repeatedly beat the sailor on the head to death with it drawing blood.
Communism was just a red herring.
The psycho killer really just dreamed the whole thing as an escape from his humdrum Wall Street life.
And a video game one:
The Master was really the head ghoul’s friend from way back.
It’s a Wonderful Life; Impostor; Pirates of the Carribean; An American Werewolf in Paris; My Fellow Americans; The Frighteners; Marnie; Clue; American Psycho; Fallout
The SWAT team is really the crooks in disguise, and they’re carrying the money out in their equipment bags. The guys in the security booth were just watching a tape the whole time.
They’re not trying to start a war, they’re trying to defect. The ship’s cook is the saboteur.
