City of the Living Dead Quotes

Adelaide Aste as Theresa

The night of the dead begins. If the portholes of hell aren't shut before, no dead body will ever rest in peace. The dead will rise up all over the world and take over the Earth. You must get to Dunwich, Mr. Bell. You must reclose those gates."
