Quotes
Fool:
[Leroy is attempting to pry a door open with a crowbar to enter the house and find Spencer, who did not return after entering the house]
Listen Leroy, this breaking and entering might not be so smart. It's the first day of my thirteenth birthday... could be unlucky.
Leroy:
Thirteenth birthday is unlucky anyway. Too old to get tit, too young to get ass... fucked either way.

The People Under The Stairs is another Wes Craven movie that does not get the respect it deserves. it's a very strange movie and thats what i liked about it. it was pretty suspenseful but not really scary. Wes Craven made his first film in 1972 and he finally got his respect in 1996 with Scream, the only movie prior to Scream where Wes Craven gets his respect is Nightmare On Elm street but he has made many great films i give The People Under The Stairs 8/10
