Vincent Price credited as playing...
Dr. Warren Chapin
- Isabel Stevens Chapin: The only way Dave Morris will marry my sister is over my dead body.
- Dr. Warren Chapin: Unconventional but not impossible.
- Dr. Warren Chapin: The tingler exists in every human being, we now know. Look at that tingler, Dave. It's an ugly and dangerous thing-ugly because it's the creation of man's fear; dangerous because... because a frightened man is dangerous.
- Dr. Warren Chapin: Either you give Lucy half of all the money you have and leave her alone, or you commit suicide right now.
- Isabel Stevens Chapin: Suicide? You mean murder.
- Dr. Warren Chapin: When I finish rearranging things, it'll look like suicide.
- Isabel Stevens Chapin: I had nothing to do with my father's death, and you can't prove that I did.
- Dr. Warren Chapin: Would you like me to prove it isn't nonsense?
- Isabel Stevens Chapin: You can't prove it. Anwyay there isn't anything to prove.
- Dr. Warren Chapin: But you wouldn't like me to try. And you should remember this, organic poisons are like old soldiers, they never die, they just lie smoldering in the grave, and I'm not bad at autopsies either.
- Dr. Warren Chapin: Ladies and gentlemen, just a word of warning. If any of you are not convinced that you have a tingler of your own, the next time you're frightened in the dark... don't scream.
- Oliver 'Ollie' Higgins: It isn't as though I'd taken out a pistol and shot her or taken a knife and stabbed her, is it doc?
- Dr. Warren Chapin: If you kill anybody deliberately, it's murder. No matter how you do it.
- Isabel Stevens Chapin: I'm tired, I think I'll go to bed.
- Dr. Warren Chapin: Stay up a bit, who knows? The next time you go to sleep it might be forever.
- Dr. Warren Chapin: I came because I was a bit worried about your wife, a shock like that can have bad after effects you know.
- Oliver 'Ollie' Higgins: You know I've been worried about her too, she hasn't eaten hardly a thing and she can't sleep. Ever since she saw that blood, she just roams around the theater all night.
- David Morris: You say get a cat, get a cat, you say get a dog, I got a dog.
- Dr. Warren Chapin: We don't need him, come on I want to show you something.
- David Morris: Bet you in a fair fight that cat could lick this dog.
- Dr. Warren Chapin: [opens Ollie's bag and finds a mask and hatchet in it] You killed her.
- Oliver 'Ollie' Higgins: No I didn't...
- Dr. Warren Chapin: Your wife was frightened to death, by this, and this.
- Oliver 'Ollie' Higgins: You gave me the idea, doc.
- Dr. Warren Chapin: Just because poisons exist, is no reason to use them.
- Dr. Warren Chapin: Did you hear what the little husband said to the little wife?
- Isabel Stevens Chapin: Is this another one of your oblique jokes?
- Dr. Warren Chapin: He said why does the back door slam every time I come in the front door?
