- 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.

Top rated lines from this movie

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.

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.
