00:11Well, I've never seen anything like this before, never.
00:21Neither have I, Superintendent.
00:26Human, animal, or animal animal?
00:30Joyce, Joyce, he's gone, he's gone!
00:37What is the sinister secret of the beast in the cellar?
00:44Oh, my God!
00:46Did they get anyone, catch anyone?
00:48No, but someone saw a thing getting away.
00:50Thing?
00:51It was a girl who saw it.
00:53She thought it was an animal of some kind, but she couldn't really tell.
00:58Darkness cloaked the mystery and the shattering nightmare of the beast in the cellar.
01:05It's all right, Joyce, I've done it.
01:08I've done it, I've buried him.
01:10And who have you been burying in the middle of the night?
01:12He can see us, he can see in the dark.
01:24Ellie, get to the telephone.
01:26I can't, I can't!
01:29The beast in the cellar brings to the screen the chilling performances of two great ladies,

01:39I've got to tell them now, Joyce.
01:42You do understand, don't you? I've got to.
01:45If you think it's best, Ellie.
