Movie Quote(s):
- Martin Madahas: Things only seem to be magic. There is no real magic. There's no real magic ever.
-
Tada Cuda: Do you believe God's whole world runs by the laws of the few sciences we have been able to discover? Oh, no, Christine, there is more. But people are satisfied. They know so much, they think they know all. And that makes it easy for Nosferatu. That makes it easy for all the devils.
-
Tada Cuda: Nosferatu. Vampire! First I will save your soul, then I will destroy you. I will show you your room.
-
Mrs. Bellini: A young man in the house with Christina? Related or not, I don't think it's right. Tada Cuda: But Mrs Bellini... Mrs. Bellini: You shouldn't have it, Cuda. How will it look? Tada Cuda: It looks as you want it to look, Mrs Bellini. My family knows how to behave.
-
Martin Madahas: Everything has been pretty easy since I've learned how to be careful. People are the hardest thing. Radio Talk Show Host: I understand. Martin Madahas: When I see people together, they don't talk. Not really. They don't say what they mean. Radio Talk Show Host: Right. Martin Madahas: Then they, they have the other... the sexy stuff. Whenever they want. I've been much too shy to ever do the sexy stuff. I mean, do it with someone who's awake. Someday maybe I'll get to do it - awake - without the blood part. Just do it with somebody. Then be together and talk all night.
Movie Trivia:
- During a screening and interview at USC, director George Romero related that the MPAA objected to a shot of Martin slicing someone's arm open with a razor blade. The entire shot would've earned the film the notorious "X" rating, and so he had to trim it by several seconds. The length of the shot, not the subject matter, was objectionable.
-
The original cut of the film ran nearly 2 hours 45 minutes.
-
Romero has confirmed that there is no known existing copy of the legendary 2 hour 45 minute cut at a recent screening of the film in New York City.
-
Tom Savini also did the stunts (and special makeup effects) in the film. His face can clearly be seen in the scene where the street person is hit and rolls over the hood and roof of the car.
-
Often said to be George A. Romero's personal favorite of his films.
