- John Carradine: I turned down Frankenstein. Boris took it.
- Vincent Price: You're kidding!
- John Carradine: No, I'm not. They sent me off to the makeup department, and the makeup man started mixing up a bowl of plaster, and I, being a sculptor, knew just what he was up to. They were making life-masks. And I said, "Wait a minute, what is this? What is this?" He said, "You play a monster." I said, "Oh, do I have any dialogue?" He said, "No." I said, "I don't have any dialogue?" He said, "No, you just grunt." That's not for me, and I walked out. A few months later they got Boris, and he took it. I never regretted it and he never ceased to regret it.
- Vincent Price: For those of you who are faint of heart and weak of stomach, I must warn you, this program is filled with chills, suspense, horror, the weird and the gruesome. It's a lot like... Let's Make a Deal.
- Vincent Price: When actors get into full horror makeup, they get a little weird sometimes, and some of them have to be locked up. I know a few actors who should be locked up without makeup. But enough about Phyllis Diller.
- Vincent Price: What is a monster? It's a smile turned upside-down. It's a frog with a boy in his pocket, a tug on your sleeve, a bite in the neck, a fang in your throat, a stake in your heart, an owl in your soup, and, uh... Jack the Ripper nipping at your nose.
