Answer: an alarm clock
Hint: it's from a book and movie

I know this is tough. I'm just thinking that with enough people guessing, someone will come up with it, and I want to know how many people it would take.

Hmm..A Clockwork Orange? *evil grin*

Or....Groundhog day? "I got you, babe...I got you, babe..."

The Time Machine?

Question: Based on the movie THE LAST MAN ON EARTH (1964-USA-Italy) what wakes up actor Vincent Price who plays Robert Morgan to find that the world has been destroyed by the plague, only to be told he has "inherited the earth".

For the past three years, he has been the last man on the planet, the lone survivor of the holocaust. "I own the world," Morgan declares. "An empty dead silent world." However, you will see that he is not as alone as you might think. For one thing, each night,victims of the plague mysteriously come alive and are transformed into vampires who lust after Morgans blood. The cloves of garlic he leaves outside his living quarters are not enough to repel the demons. Each day, he sets out to attempt to uncover their whereabouts and destroy them by driving stakes through their hearts. He is all too aware as each night falls that as long as they remain alive he is but "a heartbeat away from hell." Further complications arise when Morgan learns that the vampires are not the sole living creatures in his midst! The film is at once shockingly scary and a profoundly moving allegory which examines mans will to live, even under the most harrowing circumstances.

Was there an alarm clock in it? I don't remember.

Hmm. That's very good. But the alarm clock in question is a little more integral to the "character".

Nope.

I know, I'm just messing with ya...

das alice in vunderlandin~
*hee*

Hmm, this is difficult. I'd guess Run Lola Run, but I don't think that was a book. I have to think some more.

Goldfinger.

Damn.

Uhhhh...there's a clock in Dark City?

I would guess the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. [ponders] That's the only thing I can think of. :)

Didn't "To Kill a Mockingbird" have an alarm clock in it or am I thinking of something else?

Wait wait wait!!!

The Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz!!! He got a heart clock that ticked!!! Is that it? could that be it!?!?!?!

Peter Pan, in reference to the clock inside the croc's belly

Yay! You got it! Congratulations, you win the prize. What ever that is.

Where have you been? Did the alarm clock wake you up? :-}

I think there's another Oz book where a character actually has an alarm clock for either a head or a torso......that's my guess.

Don't know that one.

But Beadge got it. It was the Crocodile from Peter Pan who swallowed an alarm clock.

Thanks for guessing!

I think you're thinking of his pocket watch.

Actually, Beadge just got it. It was the Crocodile from Peter Pan who swallowed an alarm clock.

Thanks for guessing!

Are you thinking of the White Rabbit's pocket watch?

Actually, Beadge just got it. It was the Crocodile from Peter Pan who swallowed an alarm clock.

Thanks for guessing!

I'll have to look for that movie. It sounds pretty cool.

This answer actually was from the Trivial Pursuit game.

Hm. Never saw (or read) that one.

Beadge just got it. It was the Crocodile from Peter Pan who had swallowed an alarm clock.

Thanks for guessing!

You guys were closer, with the kid stuff, but it was the Crocodile from Peter Pan who had swallowed an alarm clock. Beadge just got it.

Thanks for guessing!

Good movie, but I don't remember the alarm clock. Wasn't it the phone that woke Lola up? I don't remember.

Beadge just got it. It was the Crocodile from Peter Pan who had swallowed an alarm clock.

Thanks for guessing, though. It was cool to see everyone's guesses.

It was the Crocodile from Peter Pan who had swallowed an alarm clock. Beadge answered correctly.

btw: I was going to say that one shouldn't bother to lj-cut one's posts unless they contain pictures, or some kind of material that some would find objectionable. That's how I feel anyway. And LJ cut posts are too easy to skip. Text is easy to scroll past if you don't want to read it.

I know, I just wish we had Spooky Trivial Pursuit..i'd win every time!!!

But not today...arrrgh!

Tik-Tok!! He had a clock head!!! Whaddaya say, Kev?

Are you thinking of Tik Tok the clockwork man? He had to be wound up to be able to move. :)

It was an actual alarm clock, and it was the one that the crocodile ate, in Peter Pan. :-)

*smacks head* HOW did I miss that one? I love Peter Pan!!! D'ohhhhhhhhhhhh......

Oh well...fun game anyway. Glad

cynnerth pointed me to it. (:

Yes, I think that's it! It was a long time ago that I read it....

Well, it looks like a pretty old movie back from the 60's but I am sure some video stores would still have it. It is definitely on my list for sci/fi though. Vincent Price is priceless. (G, I have no idea where my brain is at today).
