It’s a ritual that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but every October most of us will pay a ridiculous amount of money to dress up in costumes, eat enough candy to trigger a diabetic coma, and look forward to having the crap scared out of us. I don’t know why this is fun. It just is. In keeping with this bizarre human behavior, I’ve listed quotes from iconic horror movies and books below. See if you can guess where they come from. Some are easy, some surprising. Answers are at the bottom. Have fun!
1. “When there is no room left in hell, the dead will walk the earth.”
2. “One-stop shopping: everything you need, right at your fingertips.”
3. “It’s Alive! It’s Alive!”
4. “I never thought I’d be so happy to be a virgin.”
5. “We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!”
6. “Drink from me.”
7. “I’m your number one fan.”
8. “Sometimes dead is better.”
9. “They’re coming to get you, Barbara.”
10. “Whoever would have guessed a hangover was so conducive to the psychic emanations of the universe?”

14. “I see dead people.”
15. “I hope that someone remembered to bring something really useful, like a machine gun.”
16. “The way you walked was thorny, through no fault of your own, but as the rain enters the soil, the river enters the sea, so tears run to a predestined end. Your suffering is over, Bela my son. Now you will find peace.”
17. “You know that part in scary movies when somebody does something really stupid and everyone hates them for it? This is it.”
