Dialogue

Patrolman Paul Kelton: Monsters! Space people! Mad doctors! They didn't teach me about such things in the police academy! And yet that's all I've been assigned to since I became on active duty! Why do I always get picked for these screwy details all the time? I resign.

Capt. Robbins: Kelton, so help me, if you don't get the hell outta here-...

Patrolman Paul Kelton: You're all against me. The whole police force is against me! The whole city is against me! I resign!

Leader of the Dead: Good evening, Dr. Acula. We have been expecting you.

Karl: Who are you?

Leader of the Dead: You ask who we are, yet it was you who called for our return.

Karl: This is impossible! I hired actors to play the dead. You're not my actors!

Leader of the Dead: Your powers were even stronger than you yourself realized. You have brought us back from the grave. Once every 13 years, when called by a strong medium such as you, we are given a brief 12 hours of freedom from our deep pit of darkness. Those few hours are almost gone. We must return to the grave. You will accompany us there.
