The Haunting (1963 film)

"[voice-over] Hill House has stood for 90 years and might stand for 90 more. Within, walls continue upright, bricks meet, floors are firm, and doors are sensibly shut. Silence lies steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House. And we who walk here... walk alone."

"God! God! Whose hand was I holding?"

"Can't you feel it? It's alive... watching."

"Human nature could certainly stand some improvement."

"[voice-over] An evil old house, the kind some people call haunted, is like an undiscovered country waiting to be explored. Hill House had stood for 90 years and might stand for 90 more. Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there... walked alone."

"A closed mind is the worst defense against the supernatural... If it happens to you, your liable to have that shut door in your mind ripped right off it's hinges!"

"It was an evil house from the beginning - a house that was born bad."

"Look, I know the supernatural is something that isn't supposed to happen, but it does happen."

"Poor Nell. You look like Death."

"What would you call this place? Fun-o-rama?"

"Only one way to argue with a woman Doc... Don't."

"[referring to Hill House] It ought to be burned down... and the ground sowed with salt."

"Doc, I'll let you have the house cheap!"

"You may not believe in ghosts, but you cannot deny terror."

"SCREAM...no one will hear you! RUN...and the silent foosteps will follow, for in Hill House the dead are restless!"
