Quotes [Inspector Russell and Alice Norton's fiancee are questioning John after he fatally attacks Mildred]
Jimmy Kane: We heard a woman screaming.
John Harrington: Screaming?
Inspector Russell: Yes. We certainly heard.
John Harrington: Oh, Inspector! You're allowing yourself to be influenced by a very impressionable young man, I'm surprised at you. It's not worthy of you, you know.
[John motions Russell and Kane to his living room TV set, and turns it on to a broadcast of "Black Sabbath"]
Maria: [from the TV] No... no, don't touch me! Leave me alone!
[she is greeted by Gorca - Boris Karloff - and she screams multiple times as he approaches her]
John Harrington: Were these the screams you heard?
Inspector Russell: Very interesting. You like horror films, do you? I don't find them very entertaining. I keep thinking that... reality is more terrifying than fiction.
