Wizdom from Hell: The Best Horror Film Quotations and Dialogue
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

"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)

A Great Piece of Wizdom from Zamora...
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.

Nice: Welcome to prime time, BITCH!
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.
