Where the...

[maristu]

Ok, this is something that's been bugging me for a while. I'm trying to find out where the expression "Be afraid, be very afraid." comes from, and I just CAN'T FIND IT. Google gives me like 27.000 hits and most of them are of sites who use the expression. So... Where the heck is it from? A movie? A book? Some show? WHAT????

Help please.

Thanks.

I believe it was from the movie "The Fly".

Although I'm not sure that's where it originated, I seem to remember the phrase being on the movie posters.

And now I'm concerned that I remember that, since I've never seen the movie. The stuff that my brain retains...

Ahahahah! Nice icon! I so understand where you are coming from. I've been chanting that since they said they were doing a movie. I hear it's going to be very different so I'm cool with it being like "V for Vendetta the AU version". *crosses fingers*

It was also used in Addams Family Values<\I>, IIRC.
