Quotes 

  • Luke Sannerson : [referring to Hill House]  It ought to be burned down... and the ground sowed with salt.

  • Luke Sannerson : Only one way to argue with a woman, Doc... Don't.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Luke Sannerson : Doc, I'll let you have the house cheap!

  • [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!

  • Luke Sannerson : I haven't seen a damn thing! I just don't like the way it looks.

  • 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.

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

    Luke Sannerson : Dizzy like a fox, huh?

  • 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.'

  • [the group in the conservatory room hears the pounding and breaking glass and furniture from the unseen phantom] 

    Dr. John Markway : It's in the nursery!

    Luke Sannerson : [stops Markway from opening the door]  You must be crazy!

    Dr. John Markway : I'm going out there!

    Luke Sannerson : Oh, no you don't! Not with that thing out there!

    Eleanor Lance : [intervenes]  Luke, we must find Mrs. Markway to find out if she's there!

    [Luke shoves Eleanor aside and continues to try to stop Markway from leaving the room] 

    Luke Sannerson : No! Don't be crazy!

    Dr. John Markway : I've got to get out of here! I've got to find out if Grace is all right.

    Luke Sannerson : Look, I don't know what that is out there, but I don't want to find out!

    Dr. John Markway : Get away from me! I've got to get out of here! I've got to find out if Grace is all right!
