Curse of the Swamp Creature is a 1968 American-made for television horror science fiction film directed by Larry Buchanan. Which to say is actually one of Z-grade schlockmeister Larry Buchanan’s better movies. . Although Buchanan was producing low-budget 16mm color remakes of American International Pictures sci-fi movies for television distribution around this time, he claimed this was an original even though it bears more than a few striking similarities to the 1957 AIP film Voodoo Woman.
Plot: Deep in the rural swamps of Texas, the reclusive and ruthless wife-abusing mad scientist Dr. Simond Trent is conducting experiments in his laboratory on the local impoverished voodoo-worshiping black "natives" in an attempt to discover the secret to reversing evolution, feeding the failures to the alligators he keeps in his covered outdoor swimming pool. When a party of oil surveyors comes upon his isolated yet strangely suburban-style home, he decides to take the final step and turn the duplicitous female leader of the expedition into a grotesque and virtually indestructible amphibious "Fish Man" so that he can take his revenge upon the world.
Despite showing the monster very prominently on the posters of the film, which bill it as an "underwater terror from another age," other than brief, partial glimpses down into the mist-filled glass tank where its body is being modified from its original human form, the titular creature (with its burly physique, bald head, Spock-like ears and protruding slit-pupiled, ping pong ball-shaped eyes) only appears at the climax of the film for less than five minutes before meeting its demise, and no scenes take place underwater.

00:04:51Bookkeeper. I work in the motel office.
00:04:54I see.
00:04:56You look like a bookkeeper.
00:04:57I should have guessed.
00:05:11That's one thing about the oil business.
00:05:14What's that?
00:05:15You meet so many interesting people.
00:05:19I bet you do.
00:05:21I bet you do.
00:05:51Do you live around here?
00:05:58I live...
00:06:00I have a place down the road.
00:06:03When I was driving in, I didn't see many places.
00:06:06Well, it's off the road.
00:06:08Well, I think I'll call it a day.
00:06:13Ready for another drink, Mr. West?
00:06:14I believe not.
00:06:15I'll tell you what.
00:06:16This time, it's on the house.
00:06:18Well, in that case...
00:06:20Where's all your business?
00:06:26It comes and goes with the fish.
00:06:27Right now, even the cats are gone.
00:06:29It sure is nice to meet someone who's doing something besides fishing.
00:06:35I bet.
00:06:36I'll bet.
00:06:51What makes you think there's oil back up in the swamps?
00:06:54Did I say I thought there was oil back up in the swamps?
00:06:59No, not exactly.
00:07:00Will you excuse me, please?
00:07:02Sure.
00:07:03Trouble?
00:07:20Trouble?
00:07:20Get out of there.
00:07:40What are you doing, boy?
00:07:44I'm just using the phone.
00:07:46It looks like it.
00:07:51I don't know.
00:08:15I'm just using the water.
00:08:17I don't know.
00:08:17facile.
00:08:19I don't know.
00:08:20Come on, punk.
00:08:33Your girlfriend wants you.
00:08:50Man, you shouldn't have tried to get rough with me.
00:08:55I don't play games.
00:09:10Come on over here, baby.
00:09:13I need your help.
00:09:17This slob tried to get rough.
00:09:20I knew Richie was stupid, but not...
00:09:23Ah, dumb kid.
00:09:27I need your help, baby.
00:09:30Can I depend on you?
00:09:31You always do.
00:09:44What happened?
00:09:46He busted in here and tried to get tough.
00:09:50What do we do now?
00:09:55Well, we...
00:09:56We fix it so it looks like he checked out.
00:09:59The swamps don't tell tales.
00:10:01Don't be any more stupid than you already are.
00:10:06Wallets can be identified.
00:10:08You're going to call me stupid once too many times.
00:10:11Just do what she says, stupid.
00:10:15Now, there is one point.
00:10:16West was expecting a geologist.
00:10:18Some guy named Rogers who was going into the swamps with him.
00:10:21Man, that's trouble.
00:10:23Isn't it?
00:10:23Say hello to Mrs. West.
00:10:28Mrs. West?
00:10:29Sure.
00:10:30Don't I look like Mrs. West?
00:10:32Yeah.
00:10:33You sure do.
00:10:34What do you mean?
00:10:35We have the maps, right?
00:10:37Right.
00:10:38Mr. West can't be here, right?
00:10:40Right.
00:10:41So he sent his wife.
00:10:43Hey, baby.
00:10:44That's stinking.
00:10:45We just play dumb and let Mr. Rogers find the oil.
00:10:51It'll work.
00:10:52Let's get going.
00:10:54Well, what about the body?
00:10:59Remember that stump cutter that they use to clean out the swamps with?
00:11:04Rabbit knows how to use that thing.
00:11:07Get Rabbit.
00:11:08And clue him in.
00:11:11I'm now Mrs. West.
00:11:14I'm now Mrs. West.
00:11:44I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:14I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:15I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:16I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:17I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:18I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:19I'm now Mrs. West.

00:12:24I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:25I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:26I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:27I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:28I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:29I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:30I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:31I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:32I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:33I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:34I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:35I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:36I'm now Mrs. West.
00:12:37I'm now Mrs. West.
00:15:09Uh, is there a Driscoll West registered here?
00:15:14I don't know.
00:15:14You can ask Frenchie when he gets back.
00:15:17Frenchie?
00:15:17Yeah, he runs the place.
00:15:19Oh.
00:15:20How about a drink?
00:15:22Fine.
00:15:22We'll take care of your luggage.
00:16:01He's here.
00:16:12Mr. Rogers?
00:16:14Right.
00:16:15I'm Frenchy.
00:16:16We were wondering when you'd get here.
00:16:18Just got in.
00:16:19Mrs. West was worried.
00:16:21Mrs. West?
00:16:22Right.
00:16:24That's odd.
00:16:25I agree.
00:16:26There ain't many women oil men.
00:16:28Is Mr. West with her?
00:16:30No.
00:16:31Guess he couldn't make it.
00:16:32So he sent the old lady and one of his helpers instead.
00:16:35Old lady, huh?
00:16:36Well, not old.
00:16:38Kind of nice if you want to know the truth.
00:16:39I wouldn't mind taking a camping trip with her.
00:16:42Well, this isn't exactly going to be a camping trip.
00:16:44Yeah.
00:16:45Well, she wanted to get an early start.
00:16:47She got a boat and a guide all set.
00:16:49I'd like to see Mrs. West.
00:16:51Where is she?
00:16:51I think she's back in the office.
00:16:53You're in room 10.
00:17:02Your luggage is already in there.
00:17:03All right.
00:17:04Oh, Mrs. West.
00:17:05This is Mr. Rogers.
00:17:07Hello, Mr. Rogers.
00:17:10Nice to meet you, Mrs. West.
00:17:11Same here.
00:17:13I was told Mr. West wouldn't be here.
00:17:16That's rather surprising.
00:17:17Not really.
00:17:18He's very busy.
00:17:20I didn't get that impression.
00:17:22Well, he sent one of his assistants.
00:17:24I just came along to watch.
00:17:26He tried to talk me out of it, but I wouldn't hear of it.
00:17:28Oh, this isn't going to be much fun for a woman.
00:17:30I'll manage.
00:17:32I'd like to get an early start in the morning, if that's all right with you.
00:17:35Fine.
00:17:36You're the boss.
00:17:36Not really.
00:17:37It's all in your hands.
00:17:38See you about six?
00:17:40Oh, you do have the right clothes.
00:17:43Oh, sure.
00:17:43This has got to be the strangest job I've ever been on.
00:17:48Wait till you get in the swamps.
00:17:50See you in the morning.
00:17:59Keep your fingers crossed, baby.
00:18:01If we find that oil, we can clear out of this stinking trap.
00:18:04Yeah, well, don't count on it.
00:18:05Are you sure Richie doesn't know about us?
00:18:07As we both know, Richie doesn't know much of anything.
00:18:10We'll have to take care of him.
00:18:13See you in a few days.
00:18:18I'll make sure.
00:18:34Morning.
00:18:35Good morning.
00:18:36Barry, this is Rabbit Sims, our guide, and back there, Richie.
00:18:40Hi, nice to know you.
00:18:41We'll take you back.
00:18:43Hungry?
00:18:44Am I?
00:18:44We can stop on the way and have our last meal with humanity.
00:18:48Good.
00:18:48Good.
00:18:59You get seconds on coffee while we do the work.
00:19:03That's what her college education does for you.
00:19:06Just the same.
00:19:06I don't like the way she looks at him.
00:19:08Keep your shirt on, lover boy.
00:19:11They'll be down soon enough.
00:19:22So how'd you get pulled in on all of this?
00:19:24Oh, Frenchie lined me up.
00:19:27Said there might be some easy money in it, but I don't think so.
00:19:31I don't think so either.
00:19:32You know, I've never been up in the swamps.
00:19:36At least not as far as we're going.
00:19:38Well, I don't look forward to going into these swamps.
00:19:40I know too many that went in and never came out.
00:19:43Yeah.
00:19:44Same here.
00:19:44You know, I'm all right till I have to get out of the boat.
00:19:48Well, if we come out of this with all of our marbles, we're going to be mighty lucky.
00:19:51You know, a couple of weeks ago, one of the Creole boys told me that someone wanted him to take some supplies back up in the swamps.
00:20:00He was smart.
00:20:01He didn't do it.
00:20:02I don't blame him either.
00:20:04Yeah.
00:20:04You know, I've been hearing more and more that there's somebody been living up in the swamps.
00:20:10And I don't mean the native.
00:20:12So what?
00:20:14So nothing.
00:20:17It's all I'm saying is there's some mighty strange things been going on.
00:20:21Looks like it ought to get us there.
00:20:36Oh, yeah.
00:20:37It'll get us there all right.
00:20:38Only trouble is if we get out, we may not get back.
00:20:42Oh, yeah.
00:21:12It'll get us there.
00:21:42It'll get us there.
00:22:12It'll get us there.
00:22:42It'll get us there.
00:22:44It'll get us there.
00:22:46It'll get us there.
00:22:48It'll get us there.
00:22:50It'll get us there.
00:22:52It'll get us there.
00:22:54It'll get us there.
00:22:56It'll get us there.
00:22:58It'll get us there.
00:23:00It'll get us there.
00:23:02It'll get us there.
00:23:04It'll get us there.
00:23:06It'll get us there.
00:23:08It'll get us there.
00:23:10It'll get us there.
00:23:12It'll get us there.
00:23:14It'll get us there.
00:23:16It'll get us there.
00:23:18It'll get us there.
00:23:20It'll get us there.
00:23:22It'll get us there.
00:23:24It'll get us there.
00:25:56The best study of man is man himself. It's as simple as that. Now, this isn't an ivory tower. Get back to your laboratory. I want to see your work tonight.
00:26:06I've had a body enough. I'm the one who says when someone has had enough. Tom, I can see now this work is going to be too much for you.
00:26:16I'm the one who says when someone is coming here.
00:26:46Yes. They started into the swamp this morning. Your drum idea has proved itself again. Incredible. I wonder what they're doing around here.
00:26:56Well, it's highly unlikely that they'll find my little retreat. But if they do, I must play the good host, mustn't I?
00:27:08Well, this is as far as we can go by boat.
00:27:37From here on in, we do it the hard way.
00:27:41I want to see mine.
00:27:42I know.
00:27:43I know.
00:27:45Oh, my God.
00:28:15I forgot to tell you that we may have some visitors.
00:28:24Simon, you're kidding.
00:28:25Hardly.
00:28:27Valjean told me this afternoon that some intruders have been spotted.
00:28:32Intruders?
00:28:34All right.
00:28:35Not intruders.
00:28:37Visitors.
00:28:39Oh, I hope they do come.
00:28:42I haven't seen anyone for such a long time.
00:28:44Um...
00:28:45Marcy?
00:28:46Sit down.
00:28:48I want to talk to you.
00:28:54I know that you've been under a strain for a long time.
00:28:57I know that you don't understand or appreciate my work.
00:29:00But if we do have visitors, you mustn't let them know that we have problems.
00:29:07After all, what goes on here is my business and your business.
00:29:11Do we understand each other?
00:29:14Yes.
00:29:15Good.
00:29:20Doctor, I've mastered it.
00:29:22Look at that.
00:29:22I agree.
00:29:30That gill transplant is as fine as any I can do.
00:29:34Very good.
00:29:36Do you believe that we could do the gill transplant on other animals as well as we did it on the crocodiles?
00:29:42Possibly.
00:29:42Doctor, I was thinking.
00:29:46Just the work that you've done with the crocodiles and taking them back along the evolutionary path and making them into fish would be enough to win you world acclaim.
00:29:55Yes, but acclaim.
00:29:56That's nothing.
00:30:00To create life.
00:30:02To move it at will up and down the evolutionary path.
00:30:05That's something.
00:30:10Something I don't think you quite appreciate, Tom.
00:30:12That's all for the night, Tom.
00:30:14But...
00:30:15Good night.
00:30:30You're ready.
00:30:34Awake.
00:30:35The sound of my voice is your master.
00:30:40Get up.
00:30:47Get up.
00:30:49The world awaits you as my first citizen.
00:30:51Get up.
00:31:05The world awaits you as my first citizen.
00:31:10No.
00:31:11No.
00:31:11No.
00:31:11No.
00:31:11Everything was functioning perfectly.
00:31:14What happened this time?
00:31:18No.
00:31:18No.
00:31:19No.
00:31:20No.
00:31:21No.
00:31:21No.
00:31:22No.
00:31:22No.
00:31:23No.
00:31:23No.
00:31:24No.
00:31:24No.
00:31:24No.
00:31:25No.
00:31:25No.
00:31:26No.
00:31:27No.
00:31:28No.
00:31:29No.
00:31:30No.
00:31:31No.
00:31:32No.
00:31:33No.
00:31:33No.
00:31:34No.
00:31:35What is it?
00:32:03I'm frightened.
00:32:05I can't sleep too good, and I think I hear snakes crawling.
00:32:09It's just your imagination, Mrs. West.
00:32:12But, Barry, I'm not used to all this.
00:32:16I told you this was going to be a rough trip.
00:32:21But you could make it so much easier.
00:32:26I'll go back and get some rest, Mrs. West.
00:32:32I'll go back and get some rest.
00:33:02My friend, the next time I will not fail.
00:33:32I'll go back and get some rest.
00:33:37I'll go back and get some rest.
00:37:16I can't keep the folks' control much longer, doctor.
00:37:27They're getting curious.
00:37:28Who are they?
00:37:29That is the last boy's father.
00:37:30That is the last boy's father.
00:37:32He heard his son had been seen here.
00:37:34I couldn't stop him from coming.
00:37:36I'll talk to you.
00:37:37Valjean tells me that you believe your son is here.
00:37:44Valjean tells me that you believe your son is here.
00:37:54The doctor would like to help you.
00:37:56The doctor would like to help you.
00:37:58Your son is not here.
00:38:00He has not been here.
00:38:02Do you understand?
00:38:06We have not seen your son, man.
00:38:07We have not seen your son yet.
00:38:08My son was seen here.
00:38:11We are poor, but not blind in the swamps.
00:38:16The boy is out to look for the boy.
00:38:18He's troubled.
00:38:18Is there something I can do for you, old man?
00:38:25My son is gone.
00:38:26I just want to see the man who brought evil to us.
00:38:37I pay you well to keep things like this from happening.
00:38:41Maybe I should get somebody else for the job.
00:38:44I do my best to...
00:38:45Your rest is not enough.
00:38:47I won't tolerate one more mistake.
00:38:59Doctor.
00:39:17I won't tolerate one more mistake.
00:39:18I won't tolerate one more mistake.
00:39:19I won't tolerate one more mistake.

00:41:20Don't you do a sickness job, adjust those idiots.
00:41:27Get up.
00:41:29Get inside.
00:41:45Get out of here.
00:41:46Leave me alone.
00:41:48You're going to listen to me.
00:41:49You killed Tom.
00:41:51Tom is not dead.
00:41:54Now you listen.
00:41:57Tom is not dead.
00:41:59He volunteered for the final experiment.
00:42:02Oh, that's a lie.
00:42:04He'd never volunteer for that.
00:42:07Who'd want to be turned into one of your pet monsters?
00:42:11Don't you ever say that.
00:42:14You've always been too young and too stupid to understand my work.
00:42:18No, not stupid.
00:42:22Just too wise to condone what you've done.
00:42:26I'm afraid, my dear, that you're going to put me in a very bad position.
00:42:32Then why don't you kill me right now?
00:42:38Kill you?
00:42:42I have no intention of killing you.
00:42:44I see you've been instructing Tracker in the prowess.
00:42:48I'm sorry.
00:42:49I'm sorry.
00:42:49I'm sorry.
00:42:49I'm sorry.

00:42:50I'm sorry.
00:42:50I'm sorry.
00:42:51I'm sorry.
00:42:51I'm sorry.
00:42:52I see you've been instructing Tracker in the proper method of guarding.
00:43:15Will there be anything else, Doctor?
00:43:18No.
00:43:19That's all.
00:43:29Well, Tracker, you've failed me again.
00:43:33One more slip-up, and I'll have to dismiss you.
00:43:41Is that clear?
00:43:42I'll have to dismiss you later.
00:44:12Do it.
00:44:23Maybe.
00:44:26Tell me, I'll have to dismiss you later.
00:44:30Part 6.
00:44:35Moira, Moira, it's time, time for gathering, prepare, send the word, see that I am not
00:44:57distilling, I must ready myself.
00:46:05Hello, Thomas.
00:46:15At last you're going to contribute to science.
00:46:19Everyone has its place in the field of research.
00:46:21Tom, Tom, are you listening?
00:46:27Tom, nod your head if you are.
00:46:33You're doing fine.
00:46:35Fine.
00:46:38You're strong.
00:46:39Tom, you can stay underwater indefinitely.
00:46:46You're almost bulletproof.
00:46:50I'm envious of you, Tom.
00:46:52Tom, are you hungry?
00:47:00How clumsy of me.
00:47:03Let me get you a snack.
00:47:04Here, boy.
00:47:29Here.
00:47:29Here.
00:47:31Here.
00:47:31Tracker.
00:47:43Tracker.
00:47:45Tracker.
00:47:47Can you hear me?
00:47:50Tracker, please help me.
00:47:52I've got to get away.
00:47:54I'm going to go crazy if I have to stay locked up here anymore.
00:47:58You're the only one that can help me.
00:48:02Tracker.
00:48:03Tracker, can you hear me?
00:48:04Look, I know that he doesn't treat you any better than he does me.
00:48:11We could both get away tonight.
00:48:14Oh, Tracker, please, please listen to me.
00:48:16Help me.
00:48:17Tracker.
00:48:18Tracker.
00:48:18Tracker.
00:48:18Tracker.
00:48:34Well, Tracker, I'm glad to see you're still on the job.
00:48:42Those intruders are worrying me.
00:48:45Go and find them.
00:48:46I can't afford to have them snooping around here unless I know exactly where they are.
00:48:52Perhaps.
00:48:57Perhaps it would be best if you brought them here.
00:49:00Yes, sir.
00:49:11Well, darling.
00:49:14Still using that vivid imagination of yours?
00:49:18Don't worry.
00:49:21Everything will be much better very soon.
00:49:27Very soon.
00:49:30It looks better.
00:49:34Thanks, sir.
00:49:47Well, thanks, sir.
00:49:47Thanks, sir.
00:49:49We'll see you next time.
00:49:50Aye.
00:49:52He has to be with you.
00:49:53My gosh, sir.
00:49:54I have to meet you.
00:49:56You have to meet you.
00:49:57Get out of yours.

00:51:15Obedience is the key to survival
00:51:19Obedience is the key to survival
00:51:23What is it?
00:51:43Good Marcy
00:51:44Have them wait in the living room
00:51:47I'll be there in a moment
00:51:48Hey
00:51:56This is quite a layout
00:51:58Would you believe it?
00:51:59Look at a crazy fan
00:52:00Yeah, this is all right
00:52:03What's a doctor doing way out here?
00:52:06Can't imagine
00:52:07Unless he's taking care of the natives around here
00:52:10Dr. Livingston, I presume
00:52:17Well, not quite
00:52:19Although sometimes I do feel like it
00:52:23I'm Dr. Simon Trent
00:52:25I'm Brenda West
00:52:26Well, I seldom meet such beauty in the swamps
00:52:28Why, thank you, doctor
00:52:30This is Barry Rogers, my geologist
00:52:32Barry
00:52:33Doctor
00:52:34This is Richie
00:52:35Richie
00:52:36And that's Rabbit, our guide
00:52:38It's a pleasure, doc
00:52:39Please sit down, sit down
00:52:40What a surprise
00:52:43And a pleasant one
00:52:45Marcy is bringing us some refreshments
00:52:48Sounds wonderful
00:52:49So what brings you to this forsaken area?
00:52:54Oh, don't misunderstand me
00:52:56I love the swamps
00:52:57They're my life
00:52:58To be truthful, doctor
00:52:59We're looking for oil
00:53:01Oil?
00:53:03That's it
00:53:04Well, how can you look for oil without equipment?
00:53:08Seismographs?
00:53:08Drilling equipment?
00:53:10Well, it's not easy
00:53:11Actually, we're trying to find surface indications
00:53:14If there's any oil around here
00:53:17I'd be very surprised
00:53:18Sorry, you're a geologist, Barry
00:53:21That's right
00:53:23We have a great deal in common
00:53:26You're looking for the result of the evolutionary process
00:53:30And I'm investigating the evolution process
00:53:34It isn't often that I have a chance to talk to someone of a scientific bent
00:53:39You work here alone?
00:53:50For the most part
00:53:51Well, my wife is with me, but
00:53:53She's not well
00:53:54She contracted a fever in the tropics
00:53:56Which she's never quite recovered from
00:53:58Oh, that's unfortunate
00:54:01There's nothing can be done?
00:54:04Nothing
00:54:05Well, it's good to have company
00:54:08I can't send you out into the swamps tonight
00:54:11May I invite you to spend the night with us?
00:54:14We don't want to impose
00:54:16Impose?
00:54:19Don't be silly
00:54:20Now, we only have one guest room
00:54:22That's for you, Brenda
00:54:23And we can put some cots in here for the men
00:54:26Well, anything's better than that cold, cold ground
00:54:30Now, let me show you my pride and joy
00:54:37An indoor shower
00:54:39It's the only one for 50 miles
00:54:41And I have my own little power plant
00:54:44Come on, come on
00:54:45The cistern on the roof is full
00:54:47When you want a shower, pull the chain
00:54:49It works
00:54:50That's what counts
00:54:51That's my wife's room
00:54:57She walks in her sleep when the fever hits her
00:55:00So, I keep the door locked from the outside
00:55:04Well, she could very easily wander into the swamps
00:55:08Simon
00:55:10Yes, dear?
00:55:13Who's with you?
00:55:15She's just finished her nap
00:55:16We have company here
00:55:18I'd like for you to meet them
00:55:19We'll be in the living room
00:55:23Why don't you dress for dinner?
00:55:34What are you working on?
00:55:36Are you familiar with the Oceania theory of evolution?
00:55:41Uh-huh
00:55:41Seems to me it's something about
00:55:44Land life from the sea
00:55:47That's the theory
00:55:48Specifically what makes it important in my mind
00:55:53Is that it deals with the evolution of man
00:55:55From the reptiles
00:55:57For example
00:55:58Sea creatures
00:56:00Simple land creatures
00:56:02Snake-like reptiles
00:56:04Alligator-like reptiles
00:56:07The dinosaurs
00:56:09And somewhere along the line
00:56:13Man
00:56:14Man
00:56:15Any man hasn't descended from the apes
00:56:17But from snakes
00:56:18Richie, that's it in a nutshell
00:56:20I happen to believe in the basic theory
00:56:23Swamps provide me with all the necessary forms of life to investigate
00:56:28Alligators
00:56:30Snakes
00:56:31Fish
00:56:31So forth
00:56:32Good evening
00:56:36You look lovely, darling
00:56:38Thank you
00:56:39This is Barry
00:56:41Richie
00:56:42Rabbit
00:56:42Gentleman
00:56:43My wife
00:56:44How do you do?
00:56:49Mrs. West is taking her shower before dinner
00:56:51Oh
00:56:52If I seem like a poor hostess
00:56:55It's just that I've forgotten
00:56:57You see
00:56:58We haven't had any visitors in over a year
00:57:00Will you excuse me?
00:57:04I'll go see how Marcy's doing
00:57:13You certainly have a lovely wife, Doctor
00:57:16Yes
00:57:17Yes, she is
00:57:20But I'm afraid she made a bad bargain when she married me
00:57:24I've taken her to the farthest corners of the earth
00:57:27The most remote places
00:57:29And she suffered for it
00:57:31If at times she seems to be preoccupied
00:57:36You must excuse her
00:57:37There they go again
00:57:47It's just like
00:57:48Man
00:58:00You're afraid
00:58:01You're even back
00:58:01You're waiting

00:58:40Yeah, me too.
00:58:42I don't like it.
00:58:44Say, that old doctor sure got a fine-looking wife.
00:58:46I noticed.
00:58:49I noticed you noticed.
00:58:53Well, guess who?
00:59:10Evening.
00:59:13What's up?
00:59:17Smoke?
00:59:21You work for the doctor?
00:59:24What's your job?
00:59:28Say, you sure are a talkative fellow.
00:59:30What's all the drumming about?
00:59:32Say, man, what's all the drumming about?
00:59:36There's something to be done.
00:59:37All the folks get together.
00:59:39They talk it over?
00:59:40They do more than talk it over.
00:59:44You ever heard of snake magic?
00:59:45No.
00:59:47These people worship snakes.
00:59:50They have this dance.
00:59:52What about it?
00:59:53That's all.
00:59:55What kind of dance?
00:59:56It's not my place to tell you about it.
01:00:00Let's go see.
01:00:02Can't do that.
01:00:03Why not?
01:00:05They caught us.
01:00:06It would be bad.
01:00:07Well, I'll take the chance.
01:00:10You take the chance.
01:00:11Come me out.
01:00:14We're wandering around out there at night.
01:00:16Come on.
01:00:18Let's go see this snake dance.
01:00:20Come on.
01:00:20Let's go see this snake dance.
01:00:46Let's go see this snake dance.
01:01:16Let's go see this snake dance.
01:01:46Let's go see this snake dance.
01:02:16What's that thing with the spears in it?
01:02:26That's your friend.
01:02:28What friend?
01:02:29The doctor.
01:02:30Dr. Trent?
01:02:31They killed him?
01:02:33Looks like it.
01:02:34What for?
01:02:36What's going on?
01:02:37Well, I'm about ready for bed.
01:02:43Didn't realize how tired I was.
01:02:46I suppose you want to get started early in the morning?
01:02:49Well, there's no use holding off the inevitable, Mrs. West.
01:02:52So early.
01:02:55But don't let me be selfish.
01:02:56I could keep you up all night.
01:02:59I just can't tell you how wonderful it is to have people around again.
01:03:02Can't I get you anything before bed?
01:03:05No, nothing for me, thank you.
01:03:06I don't believe so.
01:03:09Good night, Barry.
01:03:10Good night, Mrs. West.
01:03:12I hope the drums don't keep you awake.
01:03:14Nothing could keep me awake.
01:03:16Barry, I've been wanting to talk to you.
01:03:24What can I do for you?
01:03:29I'm in trouble.
01:03:31My husband...
01:03:33My husband is insane.
01:03:38Now, Mrs. Trent...
01:03:39Please listen to me.
01:03:40I know that it seems like a wild accusation, but it's true.
01:03:43I find your story hard to believe.
01:03:48Hard to believe?
01:03:51Then why don't you go in there and see for yourself?
01:03:55Look, I can't just walk in there.
01:03:57If the doctor wants to take me in, all right.
01:04:00He'd never allow that.
01:04:02Things have gone too far already.
01:04:04Well, I don't see what I can do.
01:04:07After all, I can't interfere in his business.
01:04:11I hoped you would help.
01:04:14There is no one else.
01:04:26Poor Tom.
01:04:28He believed in his work.
01:04:31This is your reward.
01:04:32What have you...
01:04:47You fool.
01:04:50You stupid fool.
01:04:52Do you know what you've done?
01:04:55You killed him.
01:04:57They're off dead.
01:05:01Always the meddler.
01:05:03Oh, no!
01:05:04Oh, no!
01:05:05No, Simon!
01:05:06Not the meddler!
01:05:07No, I didn't hear it!
01:05:08No!
01:05:09Stop it!
01:05:10I didn't let me out!
01:05:12I didn't let me out here!
01:05:14Perhaps in there you won't cause trouble until I can deal with you.
01:05:17This is the evil one.
01:05:24See before you, the evil doctor that has brought such shame and suffering to us.
01:05:31She did it, Tom.
01:05:40She turned off the preserver machine before you were ready.
01:05:43Everything was going beautifully.
01:05:47For the first time, everything was controlled.
01:05:52Live, Tom.
01:05:54Live.
01:05:57Breathe.
01:05:59Breathe.
01:06:01Breathe.

01:06:37You mean it's dead!
01:06:39He's dead!
01:06:39He's dead!
01:07:05Goodbye, Tom.

01:09:14You're a perfect subject for the new derivatives.
01:09:36My dear Mrs. West, I believe you will be an instantaneous transmutation.
01:09:44We dedicate this symbol of our people, of our land.
01:10:03The evil spirit of the doctor is now afraid.
01:10:09Our strong magic will destroy.

01:10:18Go!
01:10:19Do what you will.
01:10:22You are protected.
01:10:24Go!
01:10:25Go!
01:10:26Go!
01:10:33I have work to do now.
01:10:35Stay away from the river.
01:10:37And watch out for the quicksand.
01:10:39Yeah.
01:10:40I have a little work in mind, too.
01:10:42Hmm?
01:10:43Go!
