Horror Quotes
-
Fear of death is form of stasis horrors. The dead weight of time.
William S. Burroughs
-
I love horror movies, and the kid is always such a big part. Kids are usually seen as so innocent, like, 'Oh, they can't do anything that creepy - they're kids!' That's what a lot of horror movies draw on, so getting to join that 'club' is really cool.
Milly Shapiro
-
Usually horror in your personal life can translate into some good music. Sometimes. Sometimes it can be really maudlin and boring, and kind of personal.
Bob Schneider
-
It's a thriller, it's definitely not a horror film, but it has enough of the elements that also work in horror films like suspense.
Wesley Earl Craven
-
I feel a horror for exaggerated love or friendship. It's just too well demonstrated to me that when the moment comes that one asks something, or has need of something, the responce is not worth a biscuit.
Brian Thompson
-
Stephen King writes a lot of things that are really charming and quirky, and that are more ironic than horror.
William H. Macy
-
I like owls. I admire their intransigent spirit. I have respected them deeply ever since I met a baby owl in a wood, when it fell over dead, apparently from sheer temper, because I dared to approach it. It defied me first, and then died. I have never forgotten the horror and shame I experienced when that soft fluffy thing (towards which I had nothing but the most humanitarian motives) fell dead from rage at my feet.
Vita Sackville-West
-
Weirdly, I'm not a horror fan, but those kind of horror leanings are something that are very easy for me to get into.
Declan Shalvey
-

Bernard Lown
-
Only He who really lived a human life (and I presume that only one did) can fully taste the horror of death.
C. S. Lewis
-
I write horror because I enjoy it. I'm endlessly fascinated by the supernatural, by death, by darkness. And, to be honest, I don't have much choice. This is the way my mind works.
Bentley Little
-
The mornings themselves were becoming bad now as I wandered
about lethargic, following my synthetic sleep, but afternoons were
still the worst, beginning at about three o'clock, when I'd feel the
horror, like some poisonous fog bank roll in upon my mind, forcing me
into bed.
William Styron
-
The best way to neutralise fear is by laughing. You can see the dynamics of this in action when people watch a horror movie. You'll notice that immediately after a good fright, following the sceams of terror - which is the point of maximum experience of fear - people will always laugh immediately afterward, as this is the natural way to release the fear. By laughing at something you also take away the perception that it has any power over you.
Dean Frazer
-
At the end of the day, a "jump scare" scares the audience for the moment. Slow burn horror ideas scare people forever.
Scott Derrickson
-
Terror is the instinct that tells you to run, dear God, run, she murmured. Run for your life. But it just makes you into meat. Predators take the ones who run. Horror is the mind-thing, the worm of knowledge you can't stop turning over no matter how awful it is. It grows in your mind and destroys you by your own intelligence.
Kat Richardson
-
Once the frontiers of horror have been crossed, one will pass from form to form beyond the human and from metamorphosis to metamorphosis to accomplish, in the anguish of an impossible return, the most terrible journey to the depths of darkness.
Georges Limbour
