Wizdom from Hell: The Best Horror Film Quotations and Dialogue

[KrugStillo]

I'll start with a line from Johnny in I Spit On Your Grave (Zarchi, 1978):

Jennifer has been raped by Johnny and his gang of rural hooligans. She later captures and confronts him. Johnny offers the following explanation for his behavior:

"Come on, the thing with you is a thing that any man would have done. You coaxed a man into doing it to you. A man gets the message fast. Now look, whether he's married or not, a man is just a man."

(Okay... not the greatest quote, but I just happened to be taking some notes on that film and really thought that this quote just summed it all up for Spit

[KrugStillo]

Yes yes, wizdom should be spelled wisdom... sorry.

"He's a great writer, but the biggest troublemaker I've ever known...............also, I think he's a potential psycho!"

This insanely weird line is from the science fiction horror cheese-fest, The Slime People (1963)

In the film Turistas (2006), Zamora teaches a little boy a lesson about life by stabbing a man to death with a skewer to the eyeball. I describe this scene below:

Roadside Cafe

Zamora is talking to the natives to make sure the tourists will be alive when they get there. One of the natives is looking at cell phone pictures of the girls. Zamora asks what he's doing and he says "nothing." Zamora continues to reproach him, but the native persists in saying he's not doing anything. A young boy comes by selling food on a stick and the native brushes him off, but Zamora gives the boy a lot of money for the food.

Zamora: In any situation, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The next best thing you can do is the wrong thing. But the worst thing you can do is nothing.

Zamora stabs the native man in the eye with the end of the stick and pushes it deep into his brain.

Zamora: Let this be a lesson. If life gives you an opportunity do something.

The wisdom of Mama Hewitt.

Erin has been captured by the Hewitts:

Mama Hewitt to Erin: I know your kind -- nothing but cruelty and ridicule for my boy, all the time he was growing up. Does anybody care about me and my boy? Huh?

Great one, Noah.

I'm just haphazardly posting quotes based on the movie I happen to be watching that day, so these are not my necessarily my favorites. I'll get there though...

I think horror film dialog is underappreciated. Maybe this thread can shine some light on this poetry of death.

Like some lyrics in death metal or gangster rap, horror film lines have the power to excite a powerful response in viewers. Often the best of these quotes (as in the example above) come from the villain's hate-filled speech as he plans or exacts his revenge.

These lines, like horror films themselves, are both grotesque and cathartic.

This is not from a film, but from the song "Reptile" by NIN, and it's a fucking SICK (in a good way) lyric:

"Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress."

[Doc Faustus]

From Zontar, the Thing From Venus:
"You're a traitor, Keith! The most diabolical traitor the world's ever known!"

Edgar Frog: As a matter of fact, we're almost certain ghouls and werewolves occupy high positions at city hall.
Alan Frog: Kill your brother, you'll feel better.

At Crawford Mill, the Sheriff arrives to collect the body of the female hitchhiker who shot herself in Kemper's van. He enlists the help of Andy so that he can wrap the corpse in Reynold's Wrap.

Sheriff: You know, back when I was a young patrolman, I used to love wrapping up these young honies. [...] Yeah, cop me a little bit of a feel every now and then, you know. [...] Oh, look at that. She's kind of wet down there. What you boys been doing with this dead body anyway?

AWESOME line :)


Almost as good:
"No, no. I kill the bus driver."
"The bus driver? What bus driver?"



A personal favorite line from my avatar in Imaginationland:
"Awwww... I'm the Key? Can I not be the Key?"

AWESOME line :)


Almost as good:
"No, no. I kill the bus driver."

I preferred that one, what was it?
