There are so many lines from horror films that stick with me. After watching The Witch: A New-England Folktale, the best line stands above all others, and it’s already being used out in real life . . . Here is the line and some other dialogue from fright flicks that I find memorable. What lines from films stick in your head, give you chills?
THE WITCH: Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?
THE FLY: There was an old lady who swallowed a fly, perhaps she’ll die.
THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVES DOWN THE LANE: Yeah well, sometimes my father goes into his room and locks the door, keeps something in a desk drawer, I don’t know what it is. I know when he locks that door, he doesn’t want me to see the way he becomes, you know?
GHOST STORY: I will take you places you’ve never been. I will show you things that you have never seen and I will see the life run out of you.
THE RUINS: Well, thank God we cut his legs off.
PSYCHO: It’s not like my mother is a maniac or a raving thing. She just goes a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven’t you?
THE KILL LIST: Come on, you devils.
ALIEN: I can’t lie to you about your chances, but . . . you have my sympathies.
HALLOWEEN: It’s Halloween, everyone’s entitled to one good scare.
BLUE RUIN: You know what’s awful? Just ’cause my dad loved your mom . . . we all end up dead.
THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS: No! He covets. That is his nature. And how do we begin to covet, Clarice? Do we seek out things to covet? Make an effort to answer now.
BURNT OFFERINGS: The house takes care of itself.
THE OTHER: It was only a game. We were playing a game, Doushka, like all the other games that we play. Only the time has come for all the games to stop. It is wrong, you see? Dangerous.
IT FOLLOWS: It could look like someone you know or it could be a stranger in a crowd. Whatever helps it get close to you.
EVENT HORIZON: Where we’re going, we won’t need eyes to see.
THE CABIN IN THE WOODS: Yes, you had “Zombies.” But this is “Zombie Redneck Torture Family.” Entirely separate thing. It’s like the difference between an elephant and an elephant seal.
AUDITION: Words create lies. Pain can be trusted.
THE AMITYVILLE HORROR: Well, sure, but . . . houses don’t have memories.
AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON:
Dart Player: Stay on the road. Keep clear of the moors.
Chess Player: Beware the moon, lads.
and the grand final quote from the biggest scary fish of them all, JAWS: I just found out, that a girl got killed here last week, and you knew it! You knew there was a shark out there! You knew it was dangerous! But you let people go swimming anyway? You knew all those things! But still my boy is dead now. And there’s nothing you can do about it. My boy is dead. I wanted you to know that.
Have you watched these fright flicks? Can you share your favorite lines? Please do. Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?
ever,
Justin
