'Child's Play'
When serial killer Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif) transports his soul into a children's doll, he speaks plenty of phrases a Good Guy doll doesn't typically say.

What's normally a sweet sentiment turns sinister when you know an end may be...

'Scream'
Other than a knife, Ghostface's biggest weapon in Screamis an AT&T 3850, or at least a 1990s cell phone resembling it. The killer would use this phone to first call his victims, making conversation that included one, dire question, "what's your favorite scary movie?" The query has become one of the genre's most well-known quotes from horror movies, partially on account of the immediate terror it struck audiences in the context of the scene, but also because of how it epitomized the Scream ser...
'The Shining'
During their time at The Overlook Hotel, The Torrance family is met with plenty of haunting quotes, like The Grady Twins uttering, "Come play with us" and Danny's (Danny Lloyd) imaginary friend Tony continuously muttering, "Redrum, redrum, redrum." But the scariest line of The Shining came from Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) himself when he barges his head through the chopped door, a crazed look in his eyes when he announces, "Here's Johnny!" While it's all of two words, the line – which was...

'It'

In the Stephen King adaptationfilled with red balloons and children's corpses hovering around a sewer, the line "You'll float, too" best fits Pennywise's threat...
'The Sixth Sense'
Of all the quotable lines in horror films, it's Cole Sear's four-word phrase in The Sixth Sensethat wins for being among the absolute scariest. While talking to his psychologist, Cole finally admits his secret, revealing in a choked whisper, "I see dead people." The concept of one seeing dead people is scary enough, but when you've got a little boy uttering those words to who we later find out is a dead man, it makes for the most chilling line to be said in a horror film.
