The Horror of it All: Quote Queries!

Welcome to the first set of 13 Horror of it All Quote Queries… these may prove to be a bit harder than the tag-line teasers we presented a few days ago… with these you have to guess the Actor’s Name, the Character’s Name and the Film in which the quote was made. If you are feeling particularly clever maybe you can name the Director and the year it was made as well… if you can – you certainly know your Horror Movie Trivia… we’d give you a trophy or something but there are no prizes – this is strictly for fun!

Here are the classic horror film quotes… enjoy:

1. “One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach… all the damn vampires.”

2. “We’d better get back, ’cause it’ll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night… mostly.”

3. “They’re coming to get you, Barbara.”

4. “It was an evil house from the beginning — a house that was born bad.”

5. “The children of the night… what a mess they make.”

6. “Fine! Kill me! I’ll be back! I’m always back! Just dying is such a bitch!”

7. “I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up for I realized what was living behind that boy’s eyes was purely and simply… EVIL!”

8. “Who’s going to believe a talking head? Get a job in a side-show.”

9. “I was murdered, an unnatural death, and now I walk the earth in limbo until the werewolf’s curse is lifted.”

10. “My own brother – a god-damn shit-sucking vampire!”

11. “OK, Vampire Anatomy 101. Crosses and running water don’t do dick, so forget about what you see in the movies. You use a stake, silver, or sunlight.”

12. “Hearts and kidneys are tinker-toys! I’m talking about the central nervous system!”

13. “We can’t bury Shelly… S-She’s a friend of ours.”

Introducing the Horror of it All’s ‘Creatures of the Night’ title page!

Harbinger451′s latest site, The Horror of it All’s ‘Creatures of the Night‘, is a bestiary of the bugbears and bogeymen that haunt our collective nightmares. It is a trawl through the dark Alternative Reality that is Horror.

This often light-hearted, though adult oriented, homage to the genre of horror and its many sub-genres and crossovers provides a glimpse in to the forbidding side of the collective unconscious that has found expression through the medium of folklore, fiction, film, games and the internet.

The title page is now online so please check it out – the sub-genres and folklore pages will be following soon.

Enter HERE all those who delight in horror, death, the macabre, the occult, black humor, weird tales, dark fantasy – and all such nefarious pleasures.

Introducing Gaea Parallaxis

“Ever wondered what it would be like to wake up and find that you have lost your memory? All you are left with are some cultural references but no memory of your name, life, family, job or friends. And then, on top of all that, you realize that you have somehow been transported to an alternative or parallel world! What would you do – how would you cope? I’d start by writing a journal about my experiences… and in fact – that’s exactly what I did do.” Citizen No Name Kane.

Gaea Parallaxis: the chronicles & testament of Citizen No Name Kane.

… is a serialized & illustrated journal. A techno-gothic sci-fi fantasy comedy horror set in the Anti-Verse that is Gaea Parallaxis. It is not another universe, it is simply the flip side of ours, equal and opposite. A shift in perspective, or perception reveals a wholly other world, a wholly other continuum.

Enter the anti-verse that is Gaea Parallaxis
