Transcript

00:00 [music]

00:29 Hey guys.

00:30 Hey.

00:31 Hey, babe.

00:32 Yeah.

00:33 Hey, what's the rush, Slick?

00:36 Betty Ann's up tonight.

00:38 [groans]

00:40 I told him Betty Ann tells really weird stories,

00:43 and he's been looking forward to it ever since.

00:46 Ooh, pressure's on.

00:48 This better be good.

00:49 I'll see what I can do.

00:51 [music]

01:00 A doll?

01:01 You're telling a doll story?

01:03 Weak.

01:05 Siesta time, man.

01:07 Wake me up if it gets good.

01:11 Come on, Tuck.

01:13 It's okay.

01:14 Let him sleep.

01:15 [music]

01:19 Most people think dolls are just toys,

01:23 but they're really like perfect little people.

01:27 Sometimes they're so lifelike that it's almost as if

01:32 the doll maker took a person and shrunk them down to doll size.

01:38 But that's not how dolls are really made.

01:42 Or is it?

01:44 [music]

01:53 Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society,

01:57 I call this story...

02:02 The Tale of the Doll Maker.

02:07 [music]

02:18 Ever since she could remember, Melissa spent weekends

02:21 now and then at her aunt and uncle's house in the country.

02:24 For the first few visits, it was pretty much a total drag.

02:28 But then the Hendersons moved in next door.

02:30 Even though they only saw each other a few times each year,

02:34 Melissa and Susan Henderson quickly became best friends.

02:38 Where's Susan?

02:40 I thought she'd be here waiting for me.

02:42 You told her when I was coming, didn't you?

02:45 I'm sorry, Melissa, but the Hendersons moved back to town

02:50 early this spring.

02:52 But why?

02:53 They love this place.

02:55 Well, but--

02:57 We don't exactly know why, hon.

03:00 Come on.

03:02 Let's get you settled in.

03:03 You must be famished.

03:05 [music]

03:18 No, Mom, the troop was fine, but the Hendersons have moved.

03:25 Susan Henderson, remember?

03:28 We hung out all the time.

03:31 Now I've got nothing to do all weekend.

03:35 Aunt Sally and Uncle Pete don't even have cable.

03:39 Okay, okay.

03:41 I love you, too.

03:42 Yeah, bye.

03:44 Bye.

03:45 Bye.

03:48 Hurry up, sweetie.

03:49 We don't want to be late for bingo.

03:52 Bingo.

03:54 [music]

04:04 Hey, Melissa, I got some work to do on the septic tank.

04:10 Want to lend a hand?

04:12 Septic tank?

04:13 Gee, sounds like fun, but no thanks.

04:18 Suit yourself.

04:20 [music]

04:30 [music]

04:40 [music]

04:50 [music]

05:00 [music]

05:09 Hello?

05:11 Anybody here?

05:16 Hello?

05:18 [music]

05:29 Hello?

05:31 Anybody up there?

05:36 Hello?

05:39 Anybody here?

05:43 Hello?

05:45 [music]

05:54 Anybody here?

05:56 Hello?

05:58 [music]

06:18 Oh, cool.

06:20 [music]

06:39 Oh, wow.

06:41 [music]

07:08 [music]

07:18 Oh, probably just a mouse.

07:20 [coughing]

07:30 [music]

07:48 Melissa?

07:51 I really don't think he should be snooping around up here.

07:54 Now, come on.

07:55 I'm not snooping around.

07:57 The front door was unlocked, so I just--

08:01 I thought maybe Susan had come back.

08:05 What on earth would make you think that?

08:08 I saw someone in the window.

08:11 Oh.

08:13 You probably saw me.

08:15 Now, come on.

08:19 Come on.

08:30 Now, I want you to give me your word that you won't ever come over here again.

08:35 Why not?

08:37 Because the Hendersons asked us to watch over the place,

08:40 and it's not a responsibility I take lightly.

08:44 They left a lot of precious things behind.

08:47 Like what?

08:48 A bunch of old furniture and stuff?

08:50 Well, that dollhouse alone must be worth a fortune.

08:55 It's nothing for a child to play with.

08:58 Can I have the dollhouse, please?

09:00 Give me a break.

09:01 Oh, Melissa, I don't know.

09:03 It's just that I'd rather you kept away after what happened.

09:07 After what?

09:08 What happened?

09:10 Aunt Sally, what happened?

09:13 Aunt Sally?

09:16 I suppose you had to find out sooner or later.

09:28 Melissa, the Hendersons didn't just move away.

09:33 Last winter, Susan disappeared.

09:39 What do you mean disappeared?

09:42 No one knows what happened to her.

09:46 One minute she was there, the next she was gone.

09:53 The whole town came out.

09:57 We searched everywhere.

10:01 Her parents were heartbroken.

10:05 They wanted to stay in case she came back, but in the end,

10:10 they couldn't stand to live in that house any longer.

10:15 Too many memories.

10:19 They're keeping it, though, just in case she ever comes back.

10:27 Come on, sweetie.

10:29 Let's go in.

10:32 [music]

10:38 You shouldn't have lied to her about the Henderson rule

10:59 in the first place.

11:00 I didn't want to ruin her weekend.

11:03 You didn't tell her what Marge Henderson said about the house,

11:06 did you?

11:07 Shh.

11:08 She might hear you.

11:09 No, of course not.

11:11 Anyway, Marge was beside herself with grief.

11:14 She didn't know what she was saying.

11:15 Maybe not, but she said it pretty clearly.

11:18 It was the house that got her.

11:20 That's what she said.

13:02 [music]

13:08 [music]

13:14 [music]

13:18 Cool.

13:19 [music]

13:37 [music]

13:43 [music]

13:49 [music]

13:55 [music]

14:01 [music]

14:07 What was that?

14:08 [music]

14:12 Susan!

14:13 [music]

14:15 Melissa?

14:16 [music]

14:19 Susan, you're going the wrong way!

14:22 [music]

14:24 Melissa?

14:25 [music]

14:27 No!

14:28 [scream]

14:30 Uncle Pete!

14:31 Melissa, are you all right?

14:33 Yes, but it's Susan.

14:35 She's still here in the house.

14:37 Melissa.

14:38 Please, let me go.

14:40 I saw her.

14:41 Melissa, listen to me.

14:43 Come here.

14:44 [music]

14:47 Look.

14:48 [music]

14:55 [music]

14:58 [music]

15:10 [music]

15:17 Lord knows why that door was ever up there in the first place.

15:21 They should have boarded it up long ago.

15:24 I'm sure I saw her.

15:26 At the end of a long corridor, there was this weird light.

15:30 Honey, I know finding out about Susan was a shock.

15:37 I wasn't dreaming or sleepwalking.

15:41 It was as real as--

15:43 [footsteps]

15:47 If Uncle Pete boards up that door,

15:50 Susan will never be able to get out.

15:52 Melissa, listen to what you're saying.

15:56 What on earth would she be doing in the attic after all this time?

16:00 I don't know.

16:02 [music]

16:12 [music]

16:22 [music]

16:32 [music]

16:42 [music]

16:52 [music]

17:02 [music]

17:12 [music]

17:22 [music]

17:32 [music]

17:42 [music]

17:57 Susan? Susan, are you in here?

18:01 [music]

18:11 [music]

18:21 [music]

18:31 [music]

18:35 Susan, where are you?

18:38 [music]

18:48 Susan?

18:51 [music]

19:01 [music]

19:11 [music]

19:21 [music]

19:28 Oh my God, the dollhouse.

19:31 I'm in the dollhouse.

19:33 [music]

19:39 Aunt Sally?

19:44 Aunt Sally, back here in the dollhouse.

19:50 Please, no, wait in the dollhouse.

19:54 It's no use. She can't hear you.

20:02 Susan?

20:04 I knew you'd come.

20:06 What's wrong with you? You look just like...

20:10 a doll.

20:12 But how? What's happened to you?

20:18 You've turned into a doll.

20:21 The dollhouse did this to you?

20:25 Okay, look, you sit here. I'll be right back.

20:29 It's the attic.

20:33 Yes, I'm going to take you back to the attic.

20:38 The attic?

20:40 Yes, the attic. Don't worry, everything's going to be all right.

20:45 [music]

20:54 Oh my God, the door. It was right here.

20:58 [music]

21:02 My hands.

21:06 There's got to be another way out of here.

21:09 Two doors on this side, one on the other.

21:12 Stairs over there.

21:14 Just like Susan's house.

21:19 Okay, that means there should be a closet right here

21:23 with a ladder leading up to the... to the attic.

21:27 That's what she meant. Not the real attic, the dollhouse attic.

21:32 [music]

21:43 The bureau, right? We've got to move it to get to the attic.

21:49 The bureau's too big. You've got to help me.

21:52 I can't.

21:54 We have to. If we don't move that bureau, we can't ever get out of here.

21:59 [music]

22:08 I'll try again.

22:10 [music]

22:20 Yes.

22:24 Yes!

22:26 [music]

22:52 There it is, in exactly the same place.

22:56 Okay, here we go.

22:58 [music]

23:04 Okay, nice and easy.

23:07 [music]

23:13 Oops.

23:15 [music]

23:20 Susan, can you hear me?

23:23 No.

23:27 Don't worry. Just a couple more seconds and everything will be okay.

23:32 [music]

23:45 That's impossible. The dollhouse is in their attic, not outside.

23:50 This has to be it.

23:53 [music]

24:17 Ready?

24:19 [music]

24:27 Okay.

24:31 Here goes nothing.

24:33 [music]

24:41 It's my fault.

24:43 It's not your fault. Don't go overreacting. I'm sure she'll turn up safe and sound.

24:50 It's the same as Susan.

24:53 Exactly the same.

24:55 It was someone else who broke into the house.

24:59 For all we know, Melissa could be out going for a walk.

25:04 [music]

25:07 Oh, Peter.

25:10 Look.

25:16 Aunt Sally. Aunt Sally. Uncle Pete.

25:21 Melissa.

25:24 Oh.

25:28 I was so worried you disappeared, just like Susan.

25:33 I did.

25:34 What do you mean, sweetheart?

25:36 I disappeared, just like Susan, and I found her.

25:40 What are you saying?

25:41 Look.

25:43 [music]

26:03 Come on.

26:07 That very night, Melissa's uncle burned the dollhouse in a big bonfire in the backyard.

26:15 As it went up in flames, Melissa wondered where the door in the Hendersons' attic would lead,

26:22 now that there was no dollhouse left.

26:26 The end.

26:28 Yeah.

26:30 I don't know what it'd lead to.

26:33 Oh? You awake?

26:36 Yeah, yeah. Not bad for a doll story.

26:42 I declare this meeting of the Midnight Society closed.

26:46 Good night, everybody.

26:50 [music]

26:57 You forgot your doll.

27:00 This thing looks just like you.

27:07 Where'd you get that?

27:11 That's a whole 'nother story.

27:16 [music]
