Halloween Horror Sayings

#1. I want people who will stand up to me. People who are not afraid to say exactly what's on their minds, even though that's probably not what I want to hear. That's what I want.

Henry Kravis

#2. I'm such a horror geek, comic geek and action figure geek. I'm inspired by so much - from Hunter S. Thompson and Quentin Tarantino to 'The Dark Knight' and 'Halloween'. Just show me something that doesn't suck, and I'm happy.

Corey Taylor

#3. The safest genre is the horror film. But the most unsafe - the most dangerous - is comedy. Because even if your horror film isn't very good, you'll get a few screams and you're okay. With a comedy, if they don't laugh, you're dead.

Roger Corman

#4. The first horror film I remember seeing in the theatre was Halloween and from the first scene when the kid puts on the mask and it is his POV, I was hooked.

David Arquette

#5. I'm not a big fan of Halloween. Except for the dressing up part. I love picking out a costume. - Tory

Matthew Leeth

#6. I ... drew out the gun I kept at home, a great big old Dirty Harry Callahan number that weighed about seventy-five thousand pounds.

Jim Butcher

#7. Dark, dark! The horror of darkness, like a shroud, wraps me and bears me on through mist and cloud.

Sophocles

#8. I walk slow but I never walk back.

Terry W. Sprouse

#9. The dream reveals the reality which conception lags behind. That is the horror of life-the terror of art.

Franz Kafka

#10. Don't get all gothic and emo on me now. - Tory

Matthew Leeth

#11. I guess winning an Oscar is the ultimate dream. A lot of amazing actors go their whole career without even being nominated. So that would definitely be a goal to reach. It's a difficult one, but I'm aiming for it!

Taylor Lautner

#12. You're just spooked. It's Halloween; we're all kind of spooked. That's just the way it is. - Tory

Matthew Leeth

#13. I am eternal. I am the night. I am the day. I am forever. And who are you?"
"I'm Skulduggery Pleasant."
"Oh, hell.

Derek Landy

#14. Person 1: "Stay back ... I have a demon inside of me."
Person 2: "Let me get closer ... I have a hell inside me where your demons can live."

John Hennessy

#15. Fear is the mother of foresight.

Thomas Hardy

#16. I stared into the man's lifeless eyes. His face was blue, but it could've been from the cold. His body was bloated, but he could've just been fat. None of this explained the crows lining up on the tree branch though. --The Body By the Tree

Yawatta Hosby

#17. My earliest memories of horror are 'Friday the 13th Part 2,' John Carpenter's 'The Thing,' 'Halloween,' 'An American Werewolf in London,' and 'A Nightmare On Elm Street' ... and 'Hatchet' is so obviously inspired by those films that I may as well have made it in 1984.

Adam Green

#18. Those who are Awake live in a state of constant amazement ...

Jack Kornfield

#19. As a kid, I liked the 'Halloween' movies and 'Nightmare On Elm Street' and all that kind of stuff. But as an adult, I really don't watch much horror, to be honest.

Corey Feldman

#20. He looked up at the stars as the storm closed in and saw them extinguished, one-by-one, until just two remained. They glimmered and shone through gaps in the clouds like two great eyes in the darkness, burning on a demon's face that chased him across the sea.

Brooke Burgess

#21. I'm a bit of a chocolate snob, actually, since I used to work at a chocolate shop in England when I was really young. And since then, it's been hard for me to eat cheap chocolate.

Katia Winter

#22. Then I resolved that I would go back out there and somehow cope with the situation, despite the fact that I lacked a strategy and was frightened to the pit of my being.

William Styron

#23. A bloody guy in overalls, wearing a straw hat, began chasing us. He held a saw, pointing it at us. We were gonna die! --The Body By the Tree

Yawatta Hosby

#24. Every nuclear bomb is an Auschwitz waiting to happen.

Patricia Marx

#25. Lots of people want to have written; they don't want to write. In other words, they want to see their name on the front cover of a book and their grinning picture on the back. But this is what comes at the end of a job, not at the beginning.

Elizabeth George

#26. It was so close to October that Halloween was knocking at his heart.

Barry Eysman

#27. My favorite time of year is October, Halloween is my favorite holiday, and I know that watching horror movies was such a special thing to me as a child and my only dream is that I get to make it feel like Halloween all year round for other kids, for other weirdos like me.

Matthew Gray Gubler

#28. There were cracked head stones, dead flowers and weeds coming through the ground. Even the trees looked lifeless. --The Body By the Tree

Yawatta Hosby

#29. You're beautiful when you do that."
She dropped her gaze to his. "What's that?"
"Smile.

Airicka Phoenix

#30. O horror! Horror! Horror! Tongue nor heart Cannot conceive nor name thee!

William Shakespeare

#31. I do love horror movies, but I'm not the kind of guy who would dress up as a ghoul for Halloween. I might go as a member of the Blue Man Group.
