  • Jason X (2001)

    This moment in "Jason X" is one of those times when it might have been better to say nothing, but it wouldn't have been so much fun. "Guys, it's okay! He just wanted his machete back."

  • Hellraiser (1987)

    Image Credit: IMDB

    Clive Barker's "Hellraiser" has a lot of great lines, but this one is one of the best. "Oh, no tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering."

  • Scream (1996)

    Image Credit: IMDB

    When does one of the Ghostfaces realize that things have just gotten real? It's right when Stu says, My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me!" Stu, Stu, Stu.

  • The Witch (2015)

    Image Credit: IMDB

    Everything in Robert Eggars' "The Witch" led up to this moment. "Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?"

  • Jaws (1975)

    Image Credit: IMDB

    When Chief Brody realizes exactly how bad things really are and they are far from the safety of land. "You're gonna need a bigger boat."

  • Bodies, Bodies, Bodies

    Image Credit: IMDB

    Only in "Bodies, Bodies, Bodies" would someone think to say this during a moment of crisis. โ€œDonโ€™t call her a psychopath. Thatโ€™s so ableistโ€

  • Aliens (1986)

    Image Credit: IMDB

    So many lines in James Cameron's iconic film are so quotable, but this one is for Ripley's record books: "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

  • The Return Of The Living Dead (1985)

    Image Credit: IMDB

    There are so many moments in "The Return Of The Living Dead" when things go wrong, but none other quite like when someone realizes that what happens in films isn't reality. "It worked in the movie!"

  • Resident Evil (2002)

    Image Credit: IMDB

    In what is perhaps the most chilling moment in the film, "Resident Evil," The Red Queen informs them that she doesn't think much of their chances of making it out safely, "You're all going to die down here."

  • Event Horizon (1997)

    The slowly dawning horror of the moment makes this quote so good. As Sam Neill says, " Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see." you can feel the dread.

  • Evil Dead II (1987)

    Image Credit: IMDB

    Bruce Campbell is always quotable, whether in real life or one of the "Evil Dead" films. But the delivery of this one-word quote never fails to thrill the audience. "Groovy."

  • A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)

    Image Credit: IMDB

    Robert Englund's Freddy is another very quotable character and in the original "A Nightmare On Elm Street", he doesn't disappoint. He says, "I'm your boyfriend now Nancy." and she knows she's alone.

  • The Exorcist (1973)

    Image Credit: IMDB

    The moment when the demon that possesses Regan McNeil takes a moment to acknowledge its power and let the priests know that they are not in control is chilling, โ€œWhat an excellent day for an exorcism.โ€

  • Night Of The Creeps (1986)

    Image Credit: IMDB

    Tom Atkins could always say a line and make it have a real impact. In "Night Of The Creeps," he does just that when he informs the sorority sisters that things are not going well, "I got good news and bad news, girls. The good news is your dates are here." When a sorority sister asks what the bad news is, he replies, " They're dead."

  • The Silence Of The Lambs (1991)

    Image Credit: IMDB

    Again, it's the delivery of this line that makes it so memorable. Ted Levine said in a sing-song voice, " It rubs the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again." puts a chill down your spine.
