Quote context

[...]

- Screaming may even dissolve it, or if it's a living organism, kill it.

- You said, living organism. Could The Tingler be actually alive? A separate and living thing inside our bodies?

- Why not?

- You know, of course, that after what we call death, great many things continue to live in the human body. Fingernails, for instance, continue to grow. So does hair, and the formation of calcium in the bones continues.

- Life is not merely a matter of breathing and a beating heart.

- We've come a long way.

- And we got a long way to go.

Top rated lines from this movie

Ladies and gentlemen, please do not panic! But scream! Scream for your lives! The Tingler is loose in this theater! And if you don't scream, it may kill you!
Many people die in fear. I wonder how many die of fear.
Look at that. It's an ugly and dangerous thing. Ugly because it's the creation of man's fear, which is oddly too dangerous because a frightened man is dangerous.
The only way I can frighten myself is to make it real. Jump out of a window, get run over by a car, go out and drown.
There's a force in all of us that science knows nothing about. The force of fear.
