Quotes 

• Watson Pritchard : [shows everyone a knife]  This is what she used on my brother and her sister, hacked them to pieces. We found parts of their bodies all over the house, in places you wouldn't think. A funny thing is the heads have never been found - hands and feet and things like that, but no heads.

  Dr. David Trent : The wife, probably in a fit of rage, threatened her husband with the knife, and then, carried away by hysteria, took a swing at him and simply went on from there.

  Lance Schroeder : [laughing]  She certainly went on. How many people did she kill, Mr. Pritchard?

  Watson Pritchard : Only two, her husband and her sister, nobody else was here.

  Lance Schroeder : So there are two loose heads just floating around here someplace?

  Watson Pritchard : You can hear them at night, they whisper to each other, and then cry.

• Dr. David Trent : [Nora has encountered the organ that plays by itself and runs screaming through the house]  Did you hear anything?

  Frederick Loren : Organ music?

  Dr. David Trent : That... and someone walking.

• Dr. David Trent : Nora, I think you're a little upset. Would you care for a sedative?

  Nora Manning : Get out! Get out all of you! All of you get out and leave me alone! Just get out of here!

• Annabelle Loren : Dr. Trent, don't you approve of our little party favors?

  Dr. David Trent : Suppose Nora had a gun when she was alone in the cellar with the blind woman?

  Ruth : Oh, I don't think anyone else is going to walk around in total darkness.

  Annabelle Loren : Oh, I'm sure we're not going to go running around the house shooting each other, aren't you?

  Dr. David Trent : Who knows? Fear can make people do amazing things.

• Watson Pritchard : Throw these guns away, they won't be any good.

  Dr. David Trent : I agree with Pritchard, although not for the same reason.

• Watson Pritchard : Four men have been murdered in this house, and three women.

  Dr. David Trent : You certainly plan your parties very well, Mr. Loren, four of us are men, three are women, there's a ghost for everybody.
