The month of October at BoobNewb means one thing and one thing only. HALLOWEEN! We could probably find some quote from some scary movie to pass off easily to finish this month’s quote but instead we’re giving it to a deserving individual/dead thing who deserves to make a television comeback. Of course, we’re talking about the corpse, the legend…The Cryptkeeper from HBO’s Tales from the Crypt. The Cryptkeeper and the show were both based on the EC Comics collection from the 1950s. HBO would go on to make a weekly horror anthology series on television with the Cryptkeeper introducing each horror story in the openings segment and then delivering a witty joke at the end of each episode to end the show. The series finished in 1997 but let’s hope they come up with another new crypt series soon so that we may see more of the Cryptkeeper in the foreseeable future. In the meantime, we leave you with the same quote that the Cryptkeeper would use to finish off every episode.

“Until the next time boils and ghouls plesant screams” - The Cryptkeeper

There have been plenty of famous movie quotes over the years. But none of these quotes have been said as eloquently as the one by actor Rutger Hauer in the film Blade Runner right before he’s trying to kill someone. We reach the climax of the film where the replicant Roy Batty and Harrison Ford are fighting one another on a rooftop in the rain. Deckard is about to slip and fall to his doom when Batty delivers one of sci-fi’s greatest quotes and a personal favorite of ours if you ever want to give a speech before killing someone. Unfortunately, Batty was only a replicant (not human) and his body would shut down before he could deliver the final blow to Deckard but not before leaving us with this great quote…

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams … glitter in the dark near Tanhauser Gate. All those … moments will be lost … in time, like tears … in rain. Time … to die.” - Roy Batty

David Bowie is an English musician,producer, actor, arranger and audio engineer. He has sold over 196 million records and is one of the U.K.’s ten greatest pop acts of all time. He is known best for constantly being able to reinvent his image and to create new and uniquely different music in several different musical decades. He has come up with different stage acts over the years including his famous Ziggy Stardust character which shows Bowie with red hair in wild outfits and describes his character as a rock star that has been sent from a distant planet during the end of the world. Another character of his is the “Thin White Duke” character which is loosely based on a character that Bowie played in a film called “The Man who Fell to Earth”. Bowie has had many successful singles over the years with “Let’s Dance”, “Young Americans”, “Fame” and “The Man who Sold the World” just to name a few. He has also acted in several films and television series including the films “The Last Temptation of Christ”, “The Man who Fell to Earth”, “Labyrinth” and “The Hunger” which was later created into a television series for which Bowie hosted. His last known role was that of Nikola Tesla in the film “The Prestige” in which Bowie plays the famous scientist who is asked to build a cloning device for the protagonist of the film (Christian Bale). Bowie has also not been afraid of coming up with great quotes over the years. One of his songs included the famous line “Wham Bam Thank You Ma’am” and during his glam rock period his Ziggy Stardust character would often mention several things related to drugs and sex. This same character would always be flamboyant with a large stage act that accompanied the greatness of the character. It is Bowie’s flamboyance that helped him to come up with this gem of a quote during his illustrious career…

“I’m an instant star. Just add water and stir.” - David Bowie
