Episode Quotes
Host: Good evening. Please come in. These little objets d'art that you see surrounding me, you won't find in your average art museum. Because these are unusual paintings and statuary, that come to life, or death, whatever the case may be. Because this is the Night Gallery. It's a measure of our current mores that we base our economy on a credit plan. We do things on time, so to speak. Purchase the item, use it while you're paying it off. And this sets up the intriguing premise of this painting, in which the fate between seller and buyer is the ultimate. It's called Die Now, Pay Later.
