Quotes 

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Eleanor Lance : What scares you, Theodora?

    Theodora : Knowing what I really want.

  • [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 : Now, which door?

    Theodora : [pointing to her right]  That one.

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

    [goes to his right and walks straight into the broom closet] 

  • Theodora : What would you call this place? Fun-o-rama?

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Theodora : You see? You haven't a ghost of a chance.

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

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

  • Theodora : Poor Nell. You look like Death.

  • Theodora : I don't think you killed your mother.

  • Eleanor Lance : [panicking]  But where?

    Dr. John Markway : Home, of course.

    Theodora : Back to your little apartment, where all your things are.

  • 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 : 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.

  • Theodora : You've got foolishness and wickedness all mixed up.
