Top 20 Greatest Opening Horror Text (15-11)

Well the ranking about the 20 great introduction texts from horror videogames, 

horror novels, horror comics and horror or scary music continues. 

15. It by Stephen King

“The terror that would not end for another 28 years, if it ever did, began so far as I can know or tell, with a boat made from a sheet of newspaper floating down a gutter swollen with rain.”

14.– Hellbilly Deluxe - Rob Zombie

A kind of different quote but the intro to this album deserves recognition.

You can listen the intro to the album clicking on the image.

The opening song is The call of the Zombie.

And out of the darkness, the Zombie did call

True pain and suffering he brought to them all

Away ran the children to hide in their beds,

for fear that the devil would chop off their heads

13. The Crow by James O'barr

“A YEAR AGO … A COLD OCTOBER NIGHT… 

A BROKEN DOWN CAR ON A DIRT ROAD… 

A MAN … A GIRL … MADNESS … PAIN … AND THE SHADOWS… 

MY GOD, THE SHADOWS…”

12. Colliers magazine, 1949

This one also appeared at the end of the Creepshow 2.

"Juvenile delinquency is the product of pent up frustrations, stored-up resentments and bottled-up fears. It is not the product of cartoons and captions. But the comics are a handy, obvious, uncomplicated scapegoat. If the adults who crusade against them would only get as steamed up over such basic causes of delinquency as parental ignorance, indifference, and cruelty, they might discover that comic books are no more a menace than Treasure Island or Jack the Giant Killer".

11. Halloween

Why this is not higher?

Because the quote is from a character of the same film, but still pretty a good one.

“The darkest souls are not those which choose to live within the hell of the abyss, but those who choose to break free from the abyss and move silently among us.”

Dr. Loomis.
