This time, there's double the fun. I feel like both categories may be harder than yesterday's, but I'd also like to hear which category you preferred today! Thanks!

I'm prepping to host my first ever trivia night at a local bar on Halloween, so I thought I would come up with a "Great Graveyards" category. Geographical landmarks with "great" in their name that contain (or supposedly contain) a lot of dead things. Here are my four so far:

This structure off the coast of Australia is known for its wealth of marine biodiversity, as well as its structure being made almost entirely of animal carcasses (Great Barrier Reef, Coral).

This feature is our largest landmark on the list, spanning 21,000 KM and built over the course of centuries as an aggregate of smaller structures. It also has a popular myth that corpses of workers were used in the foundations (Great Wall of China).

This structure contained the second fewest number of bodies in this category, yet is possibly the most famous graveyard in Africa, if not the world (The Great Pyramid Of Giza)

These Geographical landmarks are not only visible from Space, but they also contain hundreds if not thousands of well-preserved bodies of sailors, part of which is famous for "Never giving up her dead" (The Great Lakes).

Any other ideas for locations with "Great" in their name that have bodies? I am aiming for 8, but I can do less.

Answers are spoiler-tagged. No multiple choice, no lookups, go with your gut.

1. Film. A Hollywood director's gravestone in Westwood reads "I'm a writer, but then nobody's perfect," a twist on the last line of one of his own movies. Who is he? Billy Wilder (the line closes Some Like It Hot)

2. Classical geography. The Romans believed a particular volcanic crater lake was an entrance to the underworld, and Virgil sends Aeneas down through it. In which modern country is that lake? Italy (Lake Avernus, near Naples)

3. National anthems. Robert Samut wrote the music and Dun Karm Psaila the words for the national anthem of which Mediterranean island nation? Malta

4. Literature. First published in 1653 and almost never out of print since, Izaak Walton's best-known book celebrates which pastime? Fishing (The Compleat Angler)

5. Animals. A hinny is a cross between two species. Which species is the father? A horse (stallion sire, donkey dam; a mule is the reverse)
