Klaatu Verata Necto

These are the spoken words required to retrieve the Necronomicon. If you do not speak the words "Klaatu Verata Necto" before picking up the Necronomicon, there will be hell to pay.
Ash attempts to pickup the Necronomicon, and fails to say the words "Klaatu Verata Necto". The demons below the earth wake and attempt to destroy Middle Earth. (see the movie "Army of Darkness" with Bruce Campbell).

clatu verata nictu

Words used(sort of) by the main character(Ash) in "Army of Darkness". He was supposed to get the Necronomicon using them but mispronounced them, because in his folly he didn't listen to the priest and let all hell lose. Could now mean something similar to:
"Don't say I didn't warn you" or
"This is a Pandora's box" or even
"We are all doomed if you do that" or everyone's favorite
"It's all fun and games till someone gets eaten by a ghoul".
