#3 our old chum Bruce's first appearance still scares the sh*t out of me in Jaws
#9 sounds like the story of my life. But it was first said by the head of the British Experimental Rocket Group(Prof Quatermass) when he found himself in the pit.
Wow! That's all those four in the bag Steve! Fiendishly Nice job!

ReplyDelete#6 is what Michael Craig says in Vault of Horror just before he gets buried alive, which is presumably why he jacked it all in and eight years later found himself captaining a ferry across the North Sea every monday and wednesday.
#7 old grimsdyke ( peter cushing ) returns from the dead to leave this rhyme in Tales From the Crypt. He now works for Hallmark.
#8 Don't watch anything modern so I won't tell you it's Godzilla.
#10 Apparently 'the king'(no, not Elvis, the other one) said this about The Evil Dead at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival.
#12 I didn't even have to look it up, who else but the great hambone himself would attempt dialogue like that? Vincent Price in Masque Of The Red Death of course.
#14 One of Doctor No's henchmen says these words to the quatermass monster, who then gets it on with busty Yvonne Romain. The result is all hell being raised for the next 38 years, because her son turns out to be Oliver Reed. His first starring role - Curse Of The Werewolf.
#17 Low brow splatter king Herschell Gordon Lewis used this line to promote 1963's Blood Feast. Never was a truer word spoken.
#20 This was on telly last week. The guy who took over from robocop was in it, you know, watzisname. Anyway, if you upset gypsies, even the hot female ones, they'll put a curse on you, so if they want to clean your gutters, mend your drive whatever, let them, it's just not worth it.
Well, what can I say Steve! Horror is your specialist subject ...and no passes! Fantastic effort! All correct! Well done.
