The Beast That Walks Like a Man (1967)

Karl Swenson: Dr. Kihlgren

Quotes 

• Angus Mac Gregor : Dead ten times over. Jim, I never saw done to any creature what was done to him. Never.

  Marshal Jim Crown : Doc, what do you think killed him - man or beast?

  Dr. Kihlgren : Neither. I've seen men who died in a hundred different ways. Gunshot, stabbin', clawed by a grizzly, strangled, stomped by a horse, gored - you name it, I've been there to pick up the pieces. But this is somethin'... somethin' else.

  Marshal Jim Crown : There's got to be an explanation.

  Dr. Kihlgren : Alright, you call it! Man, beast, say he was killed by a rock slide if you want. But whatever killed Walt Daggett, I can't put a name to it.

• Dr. Kihlgren : Now superstition feeds on ignorance and rumor. Well, there isn't nothin' I can do about the ignorance, but I won't add to the rumor. We'll nail him in a box and put him in the ground before anyone else sees him and pretend it never happened.
