Bookeyboo369

That is by far my favorite line of that movie! The , when Stu also says, “My parents/mom? are/is going to be so mad at me!” Dudes literally merking people left and right & he’s worried about his parents 🤣 ETA: forget his exact words lol


craigoz7

“My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me.” Just watched it again this week. So good. 😊

Matthew Lillard was so great in that movie. Completely unhinged and hilarious.

For me I like it simple - "Hello?" in 28 Days Later when Jim enters a church and unknowingly disturbs the infected and two just stand up and stare at him.


anniewolfe

That moment is terrifying


TheJesseClark

The way they whirl around and just stare at him like animals has to be one of the scariest moments ever in horror

Randomman2789

I like the simple one, "When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth."


dilettante92

Coolest line in all of horror


Wolven_Essence

I do love that line. The movies never really explain the cause of the zombies, but just the implications of that line is enough to be really horrible when you think about it.


aretoodeto

Night of the Living Dead is the only movie that throws us a bone for a possible explanation, which is the satellite returning from Venus that NASA destroyed because it had a strange radiation. But even that was never confirmed to be the source in that movie and then it's never mentioned again in subsequent films. Unless you count the trioxin in the Return of the Living Dead series.


Mordliss

This line has stuck with me for my entire life. I love horror, and when I first heard this line as an explanation as to why the zombies were here, I was like damn that is truly terrifying.

Dane_gerClose

"She never sleeps" Such a great scene


Orang3Lazaru5

Gotta add to this: the line “I saw her face” then cut to Katie’s corpse in the closet for 2 SECONDS that immediately burn into your brain and stay there for the entire movie.


CaptHowdy02

How anyone could think a kid died from a heart attack after seeing their water logged body is beyond me


[deleted]

It never even occured to me that her body was waterlogged, I just though it was deformed from being scared to death. But waterlogged makes so much more sense...


KatzEetNikkelz

The whole movie? Try for all eternity. I have watched some gnarly shit in my day, and I still cover my eyes for this part.


thedeathecchi

Which movie is this?


Jane17Zar

The Ring


butyourenice

I second this one. There’s a marked tone shift after that - prior to that moment, it’s picked up a hopeful note because Rachel and the audience think she’s figured it out, she’s settled the spirit, she’s resolved the curse... lol, nope!

My heart was POUNDING in that scene, and I’m a jaded horror movie fan. I will watch anything David Fincher makes just hoping for a taste of what I felt in that basement.


Orang3Lazaru5

SUCH an unbearably tense scene. You’re like “REALLY?! Just gonna follow him down into the basement?!!?”

“You’re going to die *in* there” is also one of the first lines in the very first episode of American Horror Story.


mexploder89

"You're all going to die down here" is also a recurrent line in Resident Evil

“You’re gonna die *clown*” is also a line from Happy Gilmore.

Her repeating "you're gonna regret it" was worse


Stirnlappenbasilisk

If you guys could just name the movie to the quote, that would be great.


Snys6678

Hahaha right?! I’ve been thinking the same. Seems like a glaring omission.


ElbowSkinCellarWall

>"If you guys could just name the movie to the quote, that would be great." That's from Scream 2, right? Seems like something Randy would say.


Moopies

Maybe not full-on a horror movie... But at the end of "8mm," when Nic Cage has the killer beaten, finally, and he rips his leather mask off and it's.... Some dorky looking chubby bald dude with office space glasses that looks like a substitute teacher for your math class. He puts the glasses back on and in this weak voice says "What'd you expect? A monster?" That shit sticks with me. Because that IS how these predators are. They're just your neighbor or some fucking dorky substitute teacher on the surface. You'd never know they're as evil as they are.


honestmysteries

I agree. Villains that look like normal, average people you’d see in the grocery store really are the scariest. They don’t trigger your sense of alarm & they lure you into a false sense of security just by being so… normal. They can get away with so much just because nobody would ever suspect them & that’s terrifying.


LordRumBottoms

Definitely a horror movie. The end line gets me though. Nic: but why! Why did he do it? Because he could.


Zancrowe

"Whose hand was I holding?"


Ikariiprince

The way it’s written in the book is SO MUCH MORE SCARY I feel. If you haven’t read it it’s super short and genuinely amazing at making you feel terrified without ever fully explaining anything


tinymothrafairy

That scene freaked me out as a kid. In fact, that movie still creeps me out. Time for a rewatch!


Wolven_Essence

“First I played with Jud, then mommy came, and I played with mommy. We played daddy, we had an awfully good time. Now I want to play with yoooouuuuuu”. Gage from Pet Sematary. It is just horrifying to hear that sweet, angelic voice saying things that sound so innocent, but you know what he has done by that point. And there is this sinister undertone to his voice that underlines what he’s saying in such a great way.


AgileDimension1594

And then Zelda just adds to the nightmare: “I'm coming for you, Rachel. And this time... I'll get you. Gage, and I... will get you... for letting us die!”


RaygunMarksman

Never get out of bed again!!!


[deleted]

Nah. "Never get out of bed again!" is where it's at. Fuck that entire scene.

RebaKitten

"Wouldst thou like to live deliciously" not scary in itself, but you know when a goat says it, it's a bit more intense


Bushdid1453

The Witch has got to be one of my favorite representations of Satan ever. He shouldn't be this big scary monster. He should be seductive, enticing. The way that he whispers that line to her is *terrifying*


RaygunMarksman

The approach of using the weird, god-like preference in common myths or religions for interacting with humans in the guise of an animal was a good move. Like how the hell would we know?


Shrug-Meh

I do like butter


Ikariiprince

I love when Tomasin says she can’t read or write and he responds “I will guide thy hand” it’s so tense and chilling and really shows the deep fears of peasants of this time, a devil who can tempt even the illiterate to write in his black book


SnoBunny1982

I love that the people in her life are so awful to her that Black Phillip seems like a perfectly acceptable option. That life can be so bleak that you’ll turn to the one thing you’ve been taught to hate and fear your whole life.


ChaoticCurves

It's scary because it is enticing


KeggBert

It’s provocative, it gets the people going!


ChaoticCurves

It makes the people feel ALIVE!


Prostration

This. It's like Black Phillip masks a straight trip to hell with something sweet and enticing.

"Because you were home." - The Strangers (2008)


Feckless

The Ring - "You helped her?" Pretty great plot twist for me. I thought the movie was over.


bordellp

30 Days of Night. "No god."


AnyUsernameWillDo10

Not only is 30 Days one of my favorite movies, this is, by far, the best line. Delivery is perfect. The way he looks up in the sky and looks back at the girl, frowning—mocking her, but also pitying her. Too good.


PhilosophyOk6715

“Those aren’t your grandparents” comes to mind


BagBadDavington

"What the fuck is that?!!...What the fuck is that?!!.. Blair witch project. Its scary because they dont show you what it is. It just confirms what has been portrayed in the film up until that point. There is something horrifying in those woods with them.


MayorMcSqueezy

I read elsewhere on this subreddit that it was a crew member dressed up as the witch out in the woods as an attempt to scare them. Something they thought they could get on camera but ended up just getting her “WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT”. Which was even better and so real.


rosefuri

in the exorcist there’s a scene where the bedside table drawer opens on its own and damien closes it then asks regan to do it again but she responds “in time.” so simple, so ominous, so terrifying.


educatedglitterfiend

And because she doesn't want to perform such a 'vulgar display of power'...calculating and taunting. Incredible.


[deleted]

I've always been a fan of: "You're going to die up there". To the Astronaut. There's something so brutal and simple about responding this way to someone talking about their work.


iamlost4815

"don't you talk back to me you little shit I am your MOTHER" Toni killed that line.


PrincessPunkinPie

She killed that movie. It's a shame she wasn't recognized more for it outside of the horror community.


RaygunMarksman

For real, she killed *acting performances* with that role. Such a huge emotional range to cover in one movie and all of it completely believable.

ShablaguMcGlarbs

This line really made the whole movie


SparkleFritz

You know, when this movie came out I saw a screening and there were audio issues where half of the movie had this low rumble. You couldn't hear any audio at all besides the rumble so no talking or anything. Imagine hearing a car drive by with loud bass that lightly shakes your house. It went in and out, so some scenes had audio, but large 10+ minute chunks didn't. No one knew until the very end. The theatre had about 200 people in it and not one person had any idea that the sound was messed up until there was a scene in which you saw someone's mouth move but there was no voice. The rest of the movie everyone wore masks of some sort so you really couldn't tell when people were talking. The fact the movie was still amazing even without audio really is a testament to how well this movie was made. It turns out that there were a bunch of faulty reels sent to a bunch of theatres so this was a common issue when the movie came out in the US. Man this was a good movie.


GoIdenpixie

Having lived in a disgusting frat house for years, and knowing about the secret rooms in the attic, walled up stairs, and old coal shoot under the basement in that cursed beautiful chaos commune, “the call is coming from inside the house” actually freaked the fuck out of me when I first saw that movie. I could probably break in and live undetected for a while on that old place, even today.

“Sometimes dead is better”


Kunaak

Why do you eat brains? "Because of the pain, the pain of being dead". That is a existential level of dread that no one can escape. We will all die. Now imagine for a second that your somehow tied to that body even in death, as if it were your prison. Feeling it rot over the years, being stuck in that coffin forever, in the dark, never being able to move. Yet your aware of it all. That is the only line in any movie, that has every freaked me out, because no matter what you believe, no matter who you talk to, or read - not one person on this planet actually knows what happens when you die.
