Blumhouse Productions released some of the most successful horror movies of the 2010s. When horror fans look back on this decade, they remember watching Chris Washington learn the terror behind his girlfriend's family in Get Out (2017), seeing Tree Gelbman die over and over again in Happy Death Day (2017), and revisit Hoddenfield in Halloween (2018). It was exciting to watch so many great slasher flicks along with some horror comedy as well.
Some of the best 2010s horror films have some incredible quotes, whether characters joking around or warning others about the dangers that they're about to experience.
Marty Freaks Out In The Cabin In The Woods (2011)
"Oh, my God. I'm on a reality TV show. My parents are gonna think I'm such a burnout."
The 2010s had some of the best horror comedies in a while, from Jessica Rothe's character getting stuck in a time loop in Happy Death Day to the main characters being part of a wild game in The Cabin in the Woods (2011). Marty Mikalski (Fran Kranz) is one of the best horror movie main characters thanks to his honest nature and hilarious personality.
When Marty notices a camera in the cabin, he says this quote which works perfectly for the moment and eases some of the tension that he and his friends are feeling. While at this point, they know that something is terribly wrong, Marty is still trying to crack jokes and keep the mood light.

Lena Headey's character Mary Sandin is married to James (Ethan Hawke), and the couple gets very involved in the evening when crime is legal in The Purge's first film from 2013. It's hard to forget Mary's quote that this night is actually a great idea since this is the concept behind the movie: that if humanity gets a night to let their wildest and worst instincts out, it will be a total disaster.
While only one movie from The Purge franchise is good, the idea behind the films is chilling, haunting, and hard to forget about. Mary is terrified at the danger that her family is in, but she can't help but say that The Purge is a smart thing, perhaps because she's been convinced and influenced by the media and government.
Chris Washington Sinks Down In Get Out (2017)
Missy Armitage: "Now, sink into the floor. Sink. Now, you're in the sunken place."
The cast of Get Out does an incredible job portraying some horrible, evil characters, including Catherine Keener as Rose's (Allison Williams) mother Missy Armitage, who tells Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) that he's in "the sunken place."
Missy hypnotizes Chris so she and her husband Dean can control him, and Jordan Peele tweeted that "the sunken place" is a metaphor for race and politics. According to The Wrap, Peele tweeted, "We're all in the sunken place. The Sunken Place means we're marginalized. No matter how hard we scream, the system silences us." The entire movie is heartbreaking and unforgettable and so is Missy's quote.
Laurie Strode Talks About Michael Myers In Halloween (2018)
"He's waited for this night... He's waited for me... I've waited for him."
Jamie Lee Curtis has fascinated horror fans with her portrayal of final girl Laurie Strode across several films. While Halloween Kills wasted Laurie as she spent the movie in the hospital, the 2018 movie sees Laurie gearing up to battle Michael Myers again, and this quote is memorable, scary, and also really emotional.
Laurie is letting audiences know exactly what's happening: she and Michael have been playing a game with each other for decades and she's finally going to try to beat him. Of course, fans know after watching Halloween (2018) and Halloween Kills (2021), it's clear that Laurie hasn't been able to meet her goal and Michael is still on the loose and as powerful as ever. Still, Laurie has grit and determination.
Grace Le Domas Explains The Situation To A Cop In Ready Or Not (2019)
Police Officer: "What happened to you?"Grace: "In-laws."
Ready Or Not is an underrated horror comedy and Grace Le Domas (Samara Weaving) has a flawless and hilarious response when a police officer asks her about the night that she has just experienced. It's really the best way to explain what just went down: Grace had to deal with her in-laws and now she knows that she was totally and completely wrong about them.
After getting married, Grace finds out that she has to play hide and seek and that her husband's relatives are actually hunting her down and trying to sacrifice her as part of a ritual. While it sounds like Grace is making a joke, and she's definitely trying to be funny, she's also being honest about how her marriage was a big mistake and she can't believe that she ever trusted these people.
