be afraid be very free
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 20
badass lines in horror films when
there's no more room in hell
the dead will walk here i ain't got time
to breathe
huh okay i want to play a game
for this list we're looking at the
coolest most threatening and most
genuinely badass lines or declarations
in horror cinema
as is to be expected there will be a few
spoilers ahead
what's your all-time favorite horror
movie line let us know in the comments
below
number 20. what's thou like to live
deliciously the witch
we don't know what it means but man is
it ever creepy the witch received
a lot of praise particularly for robert
egger's authentic screenplay
this genius line is eerily spoken by the
family's billy goat black philip
that's because the goat isn't actually a
goat but satan incarnate
satan uttering the words live
deliciously conjures up all sorts of
freaky images
images we don't particularly want to
think about i will
guide thy hand number 19
to a new world of gods and monsters
bride of frankenstein
universal's frankenstein is obviously
one of the most iconic horror films
ever produced and they followed it up
with what is perhaps the greatest horror
sequel of all time
introduced in the film is dr septimus
pretorius who wishes for
well a new world of gods and monsters to
a new world
of gods and monsters it's a brilliant
line and it was later
resurrected in the 2017 mummy reboot
welcome to a new world of gods and
monsters
it really is one of the most timeless
lines in movie history
number 18 it's miller time night of the
creeps
released in 1986 night of the creeps is
an intentionally corny b movie
concerning zombies and aliens
i got good news and bad news girls the
good news is your dates are here
what's the bad news they're dead and
like most b
movies it contains some wickedly silly
lines including
it's miller time it helps that the line
is uttered by tom atkins
a beloved horror veteran who's worked
with some of the biggest names in the
game
including stephen king and john
carpenter it's miller time
sometimes you have to let go of the
serious stuff and just have a little fun
one
two piece of cake number 17
go ahead and shoot i'll be back i always
come back
but dying is such a [ __ ] bride of
chucky now
that is not something a character wants
to hear right before disposing of the
murderous villain
this fantastic line is confidently
declared by the psychotic chucky
right before he's blown away by jade go
ahead and
shoot i'll be back i
always come back
[Music]
but dying is such a [ __ ]
badass lines like these help chucky
stand apart from the usual horror
villain fair
and lend him a welcome degree of
originality and personality
that and you know being a doll number 16
where we're going we won't need eyes to
see event horizon
this is what movie lovers would get if
doc brown were both depraved and
psychotic
event horizon isn't a widely loved movie
but it still contains some great scares
and creepy lines
the plot of the movie concerns a
spaceship that returns to our universe
after visiting another
and this line perfectly conveys a sense
of lovecrafty and horror
unlike anything else seen or heard in
the movies
listen to it and let your imagination
run wild where we're going
we won't need eyes to see number 15
oh no tears please it's a waste of good
suffering
hellraiser what could very well be clive
barker's masterpiece
hellraiser famously concerns pinhead and
his cenobites
a group of extra dimensional masochistic
beings obsessed with torture and other
bad things
oh no tears please
it's a waste of good suffering playing
pinhead is doug bradley
whose deep and menacing voice helped
make pinhead an icon
just imagine hearing those words from
that voice and that pale macabre
face on second thought maybe don't
imagine that for your own sanity
apart number 14 i ain't got time to
bleed
predator not every badass line is spoken
by the antagonist
sometimes a hero breaks out an absolute
banger especially if the character is
played by a real vietnam veteran and
ex-wrestler jesse ventura ventura plays
blaine
and he lends predator one of its
signature lines i ain't got time to
bleed
the line itself is obviously killer but
what makes it even better is pancho's
bewildered reaction
there's nothing more badass than two
vets talking about bleeding
or a lack thereof you got time to duck
number 13 a man who wanted to be a god
then changed his mind lord of illusions
while clive barker's lord of illusions
didn't catch on like hellraiser
it still contains some great moments and
memorable lines and is well worth
checking out for supernatural horror
aficionados
dorothea swann asks nix who he is and
nix responds with this tremendous line
that really gets the imagination
stirring
a man who wanted to be a god
then changed his mind it establishes nyx
as a monumentally ambitious
and powerful figure a man even more
powerful than god
number 12 i'll see you in hell halloween
resurrection
released after halloween h2o seemingly
ended the story for good
halloween resurrection retconned the
ending and brought michael back for
another movie
both the decision and the movie received
unanimous hate
perhaps even more egregious than
michael's bizarre return is
laurie's death but at least she gets a
great final line
a line that wonderfully summarizes her
warrior attitude
and the undying link she shares with her
psychotic brother
until that was retconned as well i'll
see you in hell
number eleven here's johnny the shining
it's amazing how jack nicholson and
stanley kubrick can transform a famous
introduction from late night television
into one of the scariest lines ever
uttered in a horror movie
here's johnny the line doesn't really
make sense but then again
it doesn't really need to as jack has
gone full-blown bonkers by this point
it's just a bizarre thing to say from a
creepy and totally
unhinged man and it became one of
cinema's most enduring quotes
number 10 i kick ass for the lord dead
alive
there's nothing quite like a
butt-kicking priest to really get the
blood flowing
in peter jackson's dead alive also known
as brain dead
stewart de vinnie plays a fighting
priest named father magruder
and he is arguably the greatest thing
that jackson has ever given us
including the lord of the rings for the
lord
those movies are great and all but a
purple robed priest performing martial
arts on zombies and
kicking ass for the lord is just pure
movie magic
number nine i'm every nightmare you've
ever had
i am your worst dream come true i'm
everything you were ever afraid of
it the original it from 1990 is pretty
darn janky nowadays
especially after watching the far more
polished 2017 version
but the 1990 original has one thing that
cannot be replaced
and that thing is tim curry as pennywise
in one of the most iconic scenes
pennywise appears to the children in a
moving picture
and utters this line in a haunting growl
and every nightmare you ever had i am
your worst
dream come true on everything you
ever were afraid of it certainly
portrays pennywise as the omniscient
fear machine he is
number eight i want to play a game saw
this movie not only launched one of the
decade's most popular movie franchises
it also introduced a ton of material
into the horror canon
including jigsaw's now iconic mask and
catchphrase
[Music]
in the original movie jigsaw says the
line to amanda
who plays the game of digging her way
through someone's stomach to retrieve a
key
the line horrifically portrays jigsaw's
warped sense of justice and fun
and it helped make him a horror icon
number 7.
i'm having an old friend for dinner the
silence of the lambs
really you can take any line of hannibal
lecters and put it here
including the famous fava beans and
chianti one i ate his liver
with some fava beans and a nice chianti
the man certainly has a way with words
but it's the sheer brilliance of his
final line that helps it make the list
the line is pure hannibal lecter a
little smart alecky
very clever revolting and horribly
threatening
it's certainly not the type of thing an
fbi agent wants to hear
i do wish we could chat longer but
i'm having an old friend for dinner
number six
when there is no more room in hell the
dead will walk the earth
dawn of the dead the original dawn of
the dead is arguably the greatest zombie
movie ever made
and it contains one of the most iconic
lines in horror movie history
it's famously spoken by peter who's
recounting something his grandfather
once told him
granddad was a priest in trinidad he
used to tell us
when there's no more room in hell the
dead
will walk here it's a horrifying line
and it's spoken with the perfect amount
of menace and fear
ken fourie would later reprise the line
in the 2004 remake
in which he cameos as a televangelist
when there is
no more room in hell
the dead we'll walk the earth
number five this is god a nightmare on
elm street
tina is the first person to die in the
elm street franchise
and what a horrifying death it is she
witnesses freddy krueger walking towards
her
and when she asks for help from god
freddy menacingly replies
this is god
and it's true freddy is essentially a
god in the dream world
with the ability to do anything he
wishes and
god is of no help as freddy catches tina
and disposes of her
in gruesome fashion number four smile
you son of a [ __ ]
jaws the final 10 minutes of jaws is
some of the most harrowing stuff
ever put to film hooper barely escapes
the cage with his life
the shark kills quint and the boat
begins sinking due to the accumulated
damage
everything seems doomed and then brody
confidently emits the famous line
shooting at the scuba tank and blowing
jaws to gory smithereens
[Music]
it's extremely cathartic and fans cannot
help but yell along with brody
in elation number three we all go a
little mad sometimes
psycho alfred hitchcock changed cinema
forever with psycho
and anthony perkins gives one of the
all-time great movie performances as
norman bates
bates utters numerous popular lines
including
this chiller we all go a little mad
sometimes
it comes during his evening conversation
with marion and it heralds some
terrifying things to come
norman is more than a little mad a fact
that was tragically realized by marion
as she tried
taking a shower
[Music]
[Applause]
number two get away from her you [ __ ]
aliens
a far more action-packed film than its
tense and scary predecessor
aliens ends in typical james cameron
extravagance with a battle between a
massive alien and ripley in an exo suit
this is arguably one of the most famous
endings in movie history
complete with the fantastic line from
ripley and the brilliant shot revealing
the
get away from her you [ __ ] the fight
sees ripley
and the alien going at it full tilt and
ripley's line showcases her protective
instincts in the most
badass way imaginable before we unveil
our top pick
here are some honorable mentions what an
excellent day for an exorcism
the exorcist pazuzu loves cracking jokes
what an excellent day for an exorcism
i'm gonna have to kill this effing clown
welcome to the losers club [ __ ]
it that is one brave kid i'm gonna have
to kill this
clown welcome to the losers club [ __ ]
not in my movie scream billy comes back
to life for one last scare
and promptly dies not in my movie

number one i have come here to chew
bubble gum and kick ass
and i'm all out of bubble gum they live
this isn't one of john carpenter's more
famous movies but
it contains the greatest line in any of
his movies
it's dryly uttered by none other than
roddy piper
one of the most famous wrestlers of all
time i have come here
to chew bubblegum and kick ass
and i'm all out of bubble piper proved a
very capable actor
as showcased by the wonderful and
hilarious delivery of this line
it's a weird thing to say to a group of
aliens right before blowing them away
but it is certainly memorable and
certainly badass
