The Haunting Movie Quotes

Mrs. Dudley [Eleanor has just been shown her room after she arrives] I can't keep the rooms the way I'd like, but there's no one else they could get that would help me.

Eleanor Lance How very nice.

Mrs. Dudley I set dinner on the dining room sideboard at 6. I clear up in the morning. I have breakfast for you at 9. I don't wait on people. I don't stay after I set out the dinner, not after it begins to get dark. I leave before the dark.

Eleanor Lance Your husband?

Mrs. Dudley We live over in town, miles away.

Eleanor Lance Yes.

Mrs. Dudley So there won't be anyone around if you need help.

Eleanor Lance I understand.

Mrs. Dudley We couldn't hear you. In the night.

Eleanor Lance Do you have any idea when Dr. Markway...

Mrs. Dudley [cuts her off] No one could. No one lives any nearer than town. No one will come any nearer than that.

Eleanor Lance I know.

Mrs. Dudley In the night. In the dark.

[Mrs. Dudley grins and leaves]

[first lines]

Dr. John Markway [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.

Dr. John Markway When people believed the earth was flat, the idea of a round world scared them silly. Then they found out how the round world works. It's the same with the world of the supernatural. Until we know how it works, we'll continue to carry around this unnecessary burden of fear.

[last lines]

Eleanor Lance [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.

Theodora Haven't you noticed how nothing in this house seems to move until you look away and then you just... catch something out of the corner of your eye?

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

Dr. John Markway Did something happen?

Eleanor Lance [she and Theodora start laughing hysterically] No, nothing in particular, just someone banging on the door with a cannon ball!

Theodora Is this another one of your crazy hallucinations?

Eleanor Lance I'm not crazy!

Theodora Crazy as a loon! You really expect me to believe that you're sane and the rest of the world is mad?

Eleanor Lance Well, why not? The world is full of inconsistencies. Unnatural things. Nature's mistakes, they're called. You, for instance!

Dr. John Markway It has taken 60 million years to develop the carnivorous biped you see before you, Luke Sannerson.

Theodora Let's see what kind of martinis it makes.

Luke Sannerson They should be pretty good. I majored in them at college.

[the group is huddled in the conservatory. Nell, Theo, and Markway are asleep as Luke enters and takes a drink from a liquor bottle, when the door suddenly slams shut by itself, waking everyone up!]

Dr. John Markway [to Luke] Why aren't you upstairs?

Luke Sannerson I needed a drink.

[suddenly there are sounds of wind blowing and then distant yet distinct pounding is heard]

Dr. John Markway Grace!

Luke Sannerson Wait a minute! It's nowhere near the nursery... it's down here.

Theodora Seems we've been on this kick before.

Eleanor Lance Next vacation I must really go somewhere else!

[the pounding becomes louder and closer]

Eleanor Lance [thinking; voice-over] It knows my name, this time it knows my name!

Dr. John Markway I have to go out there.

Eleanor Lance [shouting] No, no! It hasn't hurt me. Why should it hurt her?

Dr. John Markway She might try to do something about it!

[the pounding stops]

Eleanor Lance Is it over, Theo? Is it?

Theodora No, I'm still cold. It's going to start everything all over again!

[the pounding resumes violently and loudly against the closed door]

Eleanor Lance [screaming] It can't get in! It can't get in! Don't let it get in!

[the pounding stops and the doorknob jiggles]

Eleanor Lance [whimpering] God, it knows I'm here!

[the door begins to buckle and bend in on itself, Luke in his horror drops his bottle]

Luke Sannerson Doc... I'll let you have the house cheap!

[the bulging door returns to normal, the wind is heard blowing again, and soon the pounding footsteps resume and head upstairs]

Eleanor Lance [thinking to herself; voice-over] Go on and on and come back again until it finds me! On and on and on until it finds me!

Dr. John Markway Psychic phenomena are subject to certain laws.

Luke Sannerson And just what are these laws?

Dr. John Markway You won't know until you break them.

🥱

Dr. John Markway You wait here, Grace. I'll go in and get your things, and then call the police.

Grace Markway No, no! No one must go back into that house again. Whatever's there might...

Dr. John Markway I'll be all right. The house has what it wants... for a while.

Eleanor Lance I was leaning back to see the top of the tower and... I got dizzy.

Theodora Here you are. Okay, Isolde. Tristan wants you inside.

Eleanor Lance Leave me alone.

Theodora Stop trying to be the center of attention, Nell. Come inside.

Eleanor Lance [swipes Theodora's hand off her shoulder] Don't touch me, Theo! You revolt me!

Theodora Whoa, can't you take a joke? I didn't know you were serious about Markway.

Eleanor Lance Of course you did.

Theodora I'm not jealous. I'm actually flattered that you have feelings for him. But he shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.

Eleanor Lance Get away with what?

Theodora You're making a fool of yourself over him.

Eleanor Lance Suppose I'm not, though? You'd mind terribly if you turned out to be wrong for once, wouldn't you?

Theodora You poor, stupid innocent.

Eleanor Lance I'd rather be innocent than like you!

Eleanor Lance I'm still so terrified from last night.

Dr. John Markway You shouldn't be. It's silly to be frightened...

Eleanor Lance Silly? You haven't been through it! This horrible, unknown thing!

Dr. John Markway 'Unknown.' That's the key word - 'unknown.' When we become involved in a supernatural event, we're scared out of our wits just because it's unknown. The night cry of a child. A face on the wall. Knockings, bangings... What's there to be afraid of? You weren't threatened. It was harmless, like a joke that doesn't come out.

Eleanor Lance But the child...

Dr. John Markway There was no child, remember? Just a voice.

Eleanor Lance A voice...

Dr. John Markway Look, Eleanor, put it this way. When people believed the Earth was flat, the idea of a round world scared them silly. Then they found out how the round world works. It's the same with the world of the supernatural. Until we know how it works, we'll continue to carry around this unnecessary burden of fear.

Eleanor Lance Supposing it is in my imagination. The knocking, the voices. Everything! Every cursed bit of the haunting. Suppose the haunting is all in my mind.

Dr. John Markway Well, you can't say that, because there are three other people here. We all resist the idea that what ran through the garden that first night was a ghost, what banged on the door was a ghost, what held your hand was a ghost. But there is certainly something going on in Hill House. We're getting closer, very close to finding out what it is.

Dr. John Markway Now, which door?

Theodora [pointing to her right] That one.

Dr. John Markway Wrong. I've studied the map, it's this one.

Theodora [noticing the large sculptures] You know, this could be a family portrait of us.

Eleanor Lance Don't be ridiculous.

Theodora You're the companion, I'm Abigail, uh, grown up, and Markway could be old Hugh.

Luke Sannerson Where do I fit in?

Theodora The dog.

Grace Markway I didn't want any of this to happen. You must believe me, John.

Dr. John Markway Well, what were you doing? What happened?

Grace Markway That terrible house... I woke up and I was frightened, so I tried to find your room, but I got lost, almost as though the house was doing it on purpose... and I ended up in the attic. I was only trying to find a way out when I opened the trap door. I wasn't trying to frighten her. Didn't you see me?

Dr. John Markway No, but Eleanor did. The shock of seeing you almost killed her.

Theodora She DID kill her. Seeing her's what made Eleanor lose control of the car.

Grace Markway Oh, no. No, she only saw me the very last instant, the same time I saw her! I don't even know how I got out here.

Luke Sannerson It wasn't your fault. Eleanor did it to herself. Looked to me anyway like she deliberately aimed the car at this tree.

Dr. John Markway Where the first Mrs. Crain was also killed in an 'accident.'

🥱

Dr. John Markway [voice-over] The story goes that the old lady died calling for help in the nursery upstairs while the companion fooled around with a farmhand on the veranda.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Dr. John Markway There was something in the car with her, I'm sure of it. Call it what you like, but Hill House IS haunted. It didn't want her to leave and her poor, bedeviled mind wasn't strong enough to fight it. Poor Eleanor...

Theodora Maybe not 'poor Eleanor.' It was what she wanted. To stay here. She had no place else to go. The house belongs to her now, too. Maybe she's happier.

🧡

👏

🥺

🥱

Dr. John Markway That's very good, Eleanor. You catch on quickly.

Theodora [gets jealous and stands up] I'm hungry. Let's go.
