1. "Heeeeere's Johnny!" - The Shining (1980)

We'll never forget that moment when Jack Nicholson forces his demented face through a broken bathroom doorframe and screams this crazed quip at his horrified wife and son. This one-liner, which pays homage to The Tonight Show's famous Johnny Carson intro, was apparently ad-libbed on the set by Nicholson.
2. "I see dead people." - The Sixth Sense (1999)

With these four simple words, Cole (Haley Joel Osment) reveals his long-kept secret to his psychologist, Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) in M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense, soon-to-become one of the most popular scary-gone-funny(-gone-annoying) catchphrases of all time.

6. "You're gonna need a bigger boat." - Jaws (1975)

A pretty funny line during a pretty scary moment, delivered by Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) to Quint (Robert Shaw), immediately after coming face to face with the great white shark.
7. "Was that the boogeyman?" "Yes, I believe it was." – Halloween (197

8. "Oh yes, there will be blood!" – Saw II (2005)

Indeed...and lots of it. This line, delivered by Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), gave the audience a warning, and delivered in a way that made viewers want to upchuck their popcorn.
