The Pit and the Pendulum (1961 film)

"I worshiped your sister. I worship her still. Without her, life is meaningless. She was that substance of loveliness. [displays a painting of Elizabeth] I tried to capture it, but it was the way she walked and moved - her smile, her voice. She sang like an angel. And she could play the harpsichord as no other woman I've ever known could play."

"Could I have kept that ring without knowing it? Play the harpsichord without knowing it? Destroyed Elizabeth's room all without knowing it? My inner mind - creating evidence of Elizabeth's vengeful return because that mind knows. But I don't know! I will find out."

"I will tell you where you are. You are about to enter hell, Bartholomew. Hell! The Netherworld. The infernal region. The abode of the damned. The place of torment. Pandemonium. "Abbadon, "Tophet", "Gehenna". "Naraka", the pit! And the pendulum."

"Harlot! You will die in agony! Die!"

"The razor edge of destiny. That's the condition of man. Bound on an island from which he can never hope to escape - surrounded by the waiting pit of hell. Subject to the inexorable pendulum of fate - which must destroy him finally."

"Elizabeth was quite dead. I would stick my reputation on that fact."

"She does not haunt you, Nicholas. Can you not see that? It is you punishing yourself."

"This groundless dread must finally be put to rest. We will exhume Elizabeth."

"Buying and selling. Living and dying. The weave of life."
