Every movie fan knows that way after watching a horror film, the images don't necessarily stick with you, but the quotes definitely do. And it's those lines that will haunt you every time you hear them. When you look to books or stories about gore and fright, it's undeniable that the words that stick out the most are the ones that send shivers down your spine. While horror isn't for everyone, if you can't get enough of those disturbing quotes, we've got a whole bunch for you to explore. Whether you're looking to give yourself a scare or are trying to think up the perfect Halloween Instagram caption.
The themes touched upon in these scary quotes are love, death, and of course, just pure fear. They are ideal to say to guests at your Halloween party to really freak them out or to just say around a campfire as you're telling ghost stories with your friends and family. Either way, we have to warn you, once you read these (if you dare), you might have a very hard time falling asleep...
