For more than a century, Hollywood horror flicks have shivered our timbers to sheer perfection. We squeal. We scream. We love every minute of it -- and the delicious one-liners that haunt us long after the last body's been buried.
Boisterous demons, psychopathic murderers, and marauding monsters may curdle our blood with their bad, bad ways. But Hollywood's best film fiends also get the famous last word at times, serving up a litany of shriek-starters that we all love reciting when the spirit moves us.

Frankenstein (1931) "I am Dracula. I bid you welcome." "Do you have to open graves to find girls to fall in love with?" "I think we'll start with a reign of terror." "The phone is dead. Do you hear that, Vitus? Even the phone is dead." "If only it was the picture that was to grow old, and I remain young. There's nothing in the world I wouldn't give for that. Yes, I would give even my soul for it." "We medicals have a better way than that. When we dislike a friend of ours, we dissect him." "Let's let our friend here rest in peace...while he can."
The Fly (1958) "We all go a little mad sometimes... Haven't you?" "This is no dream! This is really happening!" "Love means never having to say you're ugly." "What an excellent day for an exorcism." "What did he do to make this house so evil, Mr. Fischer?" "Hallo. Vould you like a roll in ze hay?
Jaws (1975) "We have to convince the little housewife out there that the tomato that ate the family pet is not dangerous!" "It's Halloween, everyone's entitled to one good scare." "Without me, Transylvania will be as exciting as Bucharest...on a Monday night." "Children of the night, shut up!" "He-e-e-e-re's Johnnie!" "Meats meat, and a man's gotta eat." "I will not be threatened by a walking meat loaf!" "Whatever you do, don't fall asleep."
Aliens (1986) "No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering." "Good, bad, Im the one with the gun. Come git some!" "Now that Billy tried to mutilate her, do you think Sid would go out with me?" "I see dead people." "Suicide is like...the ultimate f**k you." "I'm here to kick a-s and chew gum, and I'm all out of bubblegum." "Boy, the next word that comes out of your mouth better be some brilliant f--kin' Mark Twain s--t. 'Cause it's definitely getting chiseled on your tombstone." "That cold ain't the weather, that's death approaching." |

Perhaps they should look at reducing duties resellers must pay for products coming from the US to Canada in order to level the field? Then it would be prudent for the resellers to offer competitive pricing and good service to maintain a loyal customer base.

The famous quote from The Shining was apparently not in the script. It was ad-libbed by Jack Nicholson. But it certainly ended up being well-known!
