10 Killer Last Lines In Horror Movie History

10. "It Was The Boogeyman." "As A Matter Of Fact, It Was." - Halloween

In 1978, John Carpenter treated horror fans to the best slasher film they would ever see and introduced a villain that would stalk the nightmares of many an unsuspecting moviegoer.

Halloween's Michael Myers is cinema's ultimate boogeyman: faceless, unspeaking, unstoppable and just plain terrifying. His size and shape appear human, but the way Michael moves and mercilessly dispatches his victims suggests he is something distinctly other.

Earlier in the film, Dr Sam Loomis - a man of science and reason who spent 15 years as Michael's psychiatrist - says the killer has "the Devil's eyes", behind which live something that is "purely and simply, evil".

At the climax of the movie, Dr Loomis shoots Michael six times and sends him off a first-floor balcony, only to find his former patient has survived and escaped, free to continue his killing spree.

When Laurie, Halloween's 'final girl', tells the doctor she has just survived an encounter with the boogeyman, all he can do is agree.
