Movie Quote(s):
- Sheila Wayne: All I know is that death in its most hideous form waits for me at the top of those stairs.
-
[first title card] Title Card: The first motion picture in... Psycho-Rama! The fourth dimension! Subliminal communication!
-
[opening narration] Sheila Wayne: And then through the branches of the old trees I see the house again. It sits there waiting for me. Silent, malignant. A place of unspeakable horror. There is no one there now. On a mailbox beside the driveway, I can make out the name of the people who lived there once: Tierney. But the Tierneys must have all gone away a long time ago. And the house stands like a moldering tombstone to a world that died. There is an old-fashioned knocker on the door. An unseen hand always opens the door for me. I always go up the shadowy stairway as if I know exactly where to find the answer to what has drawn me here. It's behind a little unmarked door. And some unearthly power swings it open to receive me. I look up that narrow, dusty stairway, and for a moment that is so brief, so filled with terror that my mind cannot hold onto it, I know why I had to come to this place.
-
[first lines] Sheila Wayne: Did I go up the stairs this time, doctor?
-
[last lines] Philip Tierney: Come on, honey.
Movie Trivia:
- Marketed as the first film in "Psycho-Rama...Using subliminal communication!" Subliminal images include single-frame flashes of a devil face, goggle-eyed face with rat in mouth, skull, and cobra head, and messages like "Get Ready to Scream!"
-
This film has been heavily sampled in Evanescence's earlier albums and EPs, such as "Understanding" on the "Evanescence EP" and most notably on "Origin" on the album "Origin".
