Answers

  1. C. The Shining (1980) – Spoken by Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) as he axes through the bathroom door. Other films have slasher or supernatural elements but not this exact line.
  2. A. Psycho (1960) – Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) delivers this chilling philosophy. The others feature psychological horror but different monologues.
  3. C. The Exorcist (1973) – Father Karras repeats this during Regan’s exorcism. Similar possession films exist, but this is the definitive source.
  4. B. Halloween (1978) – Annie warns Laurie about the boogeyman before her death. Other slashers have masked killers but not this dialogue.
  5. A. Scream (1996) – Ghostface asks Sidney this early in the film. The others are 90s slashers with phone taunts but different questions.
  6. C. The Sixth Sense (1999) – Cole (Haley Joel Osment) confesses to Malcolm Crowe. Other ghost stories lack this precise revelation.
  7. B. The Fly (1986) – Veronica (Geena Davis) urges Seth Brundle amid his transformation. Cronenberg’s body horror films have grotesque lines but not this one.
  8. A. Misery (1990) – Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates) declares this to Paul Sheldon. Stalker thrillers share obsession themes but not this phrasing.
  9. B. Dracula (1931) – Count Dracula (Bela Lugosi) romanticises wolves. Universal horrors feature monsters but this is Dracula’s signature.
  10. D. Frankenstein (1931) – Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) cries this upon animating the creature. Parodies and sequels reference it but originate here.
  11. C. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) – The jump-rope chant introduces Freddy Krueger. Other slashers have child killers but not this rhyme.
  12. C. Jaws (1975) – Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) realises the shark’s size. Shark attack films borrow the vibe but not the line.
  13. C. Aliens (1986) – Private Hudson (Bill Paxton) panics amid xenomorph assault. The franchise has space horror but this panic is unique.
  14. B. Army of Darkness (1992) – Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) brandishes his shotgun. Evil Dead sequels have humour but this is the boomstick intro.
  15. D. The Exorcist (1973) – The demon taunts the priests at the start of the rite. Modern exorcism films echo it but it’s original here.
  16. A. Saw (2004) – Jigsaw’s tape begins every trap with this. Torture porn traps exist but this is Saw’s hallmark.
  17. C. Poltergeist (1982) – Carol Anne (Heather O’Rourke) signals from the TV static. Poltergeist-style hauntings differ in dialogue.
  18. D. The Silence of the Lambs (1991) – Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) recounts to Clarice. Lecter films expand but this scene is iconic.
  19. C. The Evil Dead (1981) – Deadites chant to lure Ash into the cabin. Similar cabin horrors lack this possession call.
  20. C. Carrie (1976) – Taunted by peers and hallucinated at prom, driving her rage. Teen horror bullies exist but this triggers Carrie’s telekinesis.
