"[to Jack; about Danny's bruised neck] You did this to him, didn't you? You son of a bitch! You did this to him! Didn't you?! [Jack shakes his head] How could you?! How could you?!"

"It was just one of those things, you know. Purely an accident. My husband had, uh, been drinking, and he came home about three hours late. So he wasn't exactly in the greatest mood that night. And, well, Danny had scattered some of his school papers all over the room, and my husband grabbed his arm and pulled him away from them. It's...it's just the sort of thing you do a hundred times with a child, you know, in the park or in the streets. But on this particular occasion, my husband just used too much strength, and he injured Danny's arm. [nervous laugh] Anyway, something good did come out of it all, because he said "Wendy, I'm never gonna touch another drop. And if I do, you can leave me." And he didn't, and he hasn't had any alcohol in, uh, five months."

"God, I'd give anything for a drink. I'd give my goddamned soul for just a glass of beer."

"[from TV spot] You'll never look at your television set the same way again."

"[from TV spot] All across the country, by 4am, TV screens go blank. The late night show is over. The Freeling home is different. Although nothing is on, something is there."

"[from TV spot] Don't adjust the television set. Your reception's fine. But in their new suburban home, the Freeling family has tuned into something beyond our world."

"[from trailer] Its form is revealed. Its focus is clear. And the games are over."

"[from trailer] The house looks just like the one next to it, and the one next to that, and the one next to that. A young couple live in it, with their three children... and something more."

"The first real ghost story."

"Some things have to be believed to be seen."

"It knows what scares you."

"They're here."

"From a dimension beyond the living, a terror to scare you to death."

"This house is clean."

"Cross over, children. All are welcome. All welcome. Go into the light...there's peace and serenity in the light."

"Now, clear your minds. It knows what scares you. It has from the very beginning. Don't give it any help, it knows too much already."

"Y'all mind hanging back? You're jammin' the frequencies."

"This house has many hearts."

"It isn't over. I'm absolutely terrified... It's all the things that we don't understand. I feel like the proto-human coming out of the forest primeval and seeing the moon for the first time and throwing rocks at it."

"Parapsychology isn't something you master in. There are no certificates of graduation. No licenses to practice... I am a professional psychologist who spends most of my time engaged in this ghostly hobby, which makes me I suppose the most irresponsible woman of my age that I know."

"[to the Beast as he blocks her from entering the children's bedroom] No, don't touch my babies! NO!"

"[bodies begin shooting out of his house & yard; to Teague] You son of a bitch! You moved the cemetery, but you left the bodies, didn't you?! You son of a bitch, you left the bodies and you only moved the headstones! YOU ONLY MOVED THE HEADSTONES! WHY?! WHY?!"

"No one's going in the kitchen 'til I know what's happening."

"They're Heeere."

"[about his occult bookstore] We get 'em all: sun-worshippers, moon-worshippers, Satanists. The Manson family used to hang around and shoplift. Bunch of deadbeats!"

"All of us have a great untapped potential - a potential for living. What we do with that potential, with that life, depends as much on our attitudes toward our physical desires as it does on the social programming of our minds. The struggle between mind and body is not a necessary one. It produces anger, frustration, the strain of modern-day living in a world that's moving too quickly toward its own annihilation. Stress results when we fight against our impulses, when we attempt to destroy the natural man or woman within us. Repression is the father of neurosis, of self-hatred."

"Patrick Macnee - Dr. George Waggner"

"Dee Wallace Stone - Karen White"

"[from TV spot] What she has witnessed, she cannot escape. What he has become, he cannot control. And what you experience, no one will believe - until they come face to face with the inhuman fear that is The Howling."

"[on TV] It is, after all, what we are. Repression. Repression is the father of neurosis, of self-hatred. Now, stress results when we fight against our impulses. We've all heard people talk about "animal magnetism", about the "natural man" and the "noble savage". As if we had lost something valuable in our long evolution into civilized human beings—and there’s a good reason for this. Man is a combination of the learned and the instinctual, of the sophisticated and the primitive. We should never try to deny the beast, the animal, within us - only to channel these energies in a positive direction."
