“In films murders are always very clean. I show how difficult it is and what a messy thing it is to kill a man.” --- Alfred Hitchcock ::::::::::: MY CRITERIA FOR DISCUSSION ENCOMPASSES THE HORROR GENRE AND BEYOND, SO I USE THE TERM "NIGHTMARE MOVIES".

Horror QUIZ #11: Where's that Quote From?

Horror movies are sometimes remembered for a stupid line uttered by a victim, often they’re championed because of dialogue spoken with maniacal glee or sardonic sadism by a nasty villain. Other times the line is remembered because of its irony or wit. And then there are the quotes which are etched into our memeories simply because they seemed so unassuming, yet they lingered long enough in our minds that their subtext became highly relevant.

It’s always fun throwing a few ripe words around to see who’ll make the connection. See if you can name the film these quotes are from. And for added kudos, identify the character that says the line.

1. “Dick Laurent is dead.”

2. “Nothing like rain water from the Top-End.”

3. “Got a wonderful defence mechanism. You don’t dare kill it.”

4. “They’re coming to get you Barbara, there’s one of them now!”

5. “I got a thing about chickens.”

6. “Bad luck isn’t brought by broken mirrors, but by broken minds.”

7. “The Power of Christ Compels You.”

8. “I’ve waited a long time for you.”

9. “I like the dark. It’s friendly.”

10. “Why don’t we just wait here for a while … See what happens.”

11. “It’s just torture and murder. No plot, no characters. Very, very realistic. I think it’s what’s next.”

12. “I just don’t get off on funerals, man, they give me the creeps.”

13. “I got this ache … I thought it was for sex, but it’s to tear everything to fucking pieces.”


13 ... My word! You know the film industry can always do with another script supervisor!
9 - 12 ... Reading all those screenplays you downloaded seems to have payed off!
5 - 8 ... There might be a part for you in the local community centre play!
1 - 4 ... Best you stick to singing those few pop song lines you can remember.

Hmm....I'm not sure I'll do too well at this:

2. Wolf Creek - Mick something....I think that's his name.
3. Alien - Was it Tom Skerritts character who said it? Not sure.
4. Night of the Living Dead
7. The exorcist - the priest said it didn't he?
13. Ginger Snaps - Ginger (I finally watched this movie a couple of weeks ago after reading your review).

That's all I've got.
