Answers

- B. Psycho – Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) says this in the parlour scene to Marion Crane; distinguishes from demonic possessions or traps in the distractors.
- A. American Psycho – Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) rambles this during his murder of Paul Allen; not Lecter, Jack Torrance, or John Doe.
- B. The Shining – Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) pleads through the bathroom door to Wendy; unique to the Overlook Hotel isolation madness.
- D. Saw – Jigsaw (voiced by Tobin Bell) opens the film with this to Dr. Lawrence Gordon; not typical slasher openers.
- B. Scream – Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich) explains during the reveal; meta-commentary absent in the other slashers listed.
- A. Hellraiser – Pinhead (Doug Bradley) tells this to Frank Cotton; iconic Cenobite philosophy, unlike temptation or summoning quotes.

- C. It – Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård) lures Georgie Denbrough; sewer balloon imagery specific to Stephen King’s shape-shifter.

- A. Us – Red (Lupita Nyong’o) recounts her tethered origin; doppelgänger narrative unique to Jordan Peele’s film.
