Quote context

[...]

- And the nightmare world of terror and violence...

- We bring you again in response to hundreds of requests 'Three Skeleton Key' starring Vincent Price.

- Picture this place.

- A gray, tapering cylinder welded, by iron rods and concrete, to the key itself: a bare black rock, one hundred fifty feet long, maybe forty wide.

- That's at low tide. At high tide, just the lighthouse, rising a hundred ten feet straight up out of the ocean...

- And all about it the churning water - gray-green, scum dappled, warm as soup... and swarming with gigantic bat-like, devil fish, great violet schools of Portuguese man-of-war...

- And yes, sharks, the big ones, the fifteen-footers.

- And as if this weren't enough, there was a hot, dank, rotten-smelling wind that came at us day and night off the jungle swamps of the mainland.

- A wind that smelled like death. A wind that had smelled the slow and frightful death that came one night to this bare black rock.

- Set in the base of the light was a watertight bronze door... and in you went. And up.

- Yes, up and up and 'round and 'round, past the tanks of oil and the coils of rope, casks of wicks and racks of lanterns, sacks of spuds, and cartons and cans and up and up and up, 'round and 'round.

You can take just so much horror and then you get used to it.

A wind that smelled like death. A wind that had smelled the slow and frightful death that came one night to this bare black rock.

Somewhere on the seas, there's a little banana boat without a crew. That is, without a HUMAN crew.

From time to time, I'd strike a match to see the clock... And when I did, it lit up the million red eyes about us. All about. Watching. Waiting.

Black beard, little hard black eyes and a pair of arms that - I tell you, those arms were as big around as my legs.
