Quint knows. He survived a Boohbah Satanic ritual. Quint's words: Very first light, Chief, Boohbahs come cruisin'. So we formed ourselves into tight groups. Y'know, it's... kinda like ol' squares in a battle like, uh, you see in a calendar, like the Battle of Waterloo, and the idea was, Boohbah comes to the nearest man and that man, he'd start poundin' and hollerin' and screamin', and sometimes the Boohbah'd go away... sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that Boohbah, he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. Y'know the thing about a Boohbah, he's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites ya. And those black eyes roll over white, and then... oh, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin', the place turns red, and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... rip you to pieces.
