Twins of Evil (1971) — Hammer’s third Karnstein entry, directed by John Hough (screenplay Tudor Gates, loosely from Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla) . Recently orphaned identical twins Maria (Mary Collinson) and Frieda (Madeleine Collinson) are sent from Venice to live with their stern uncle Gustav Weil (Peter Cushing), leader of a puritanical witch-hunting Brotherhood . Frieda is drawn to Count Karnstein (Damien Thomas), who, dabbling in Satanism, resurrects ancestor Countess Mircalla Karnstein (Katya Wyeth) and is turned into a vampire; he then turns Frieda . As bodies pile up, the Brotherhood burns “witches”; the schoolteacher Anton Hoffer (David Warbeck) investigates and falls for Maria . When Frieda is captured, Gustav beheads her; Karnstein kills Gustav; Anton stakes Karnstein, saving Maria .

00:01:52Oh God, have mercy on this poor, unfortunate creature.
00:01:57She is a child of the devil, but we ask thee in thy great goodness to save her soul.
00:02:05Help me!
00:02:06We commend unto thee her earthly body and seek to purify its spirit.
00:02:34Brothers, let us pray.
00:02:42Let's pray!
00:02:42Go, go, go, go!
00:03:14Go, go!
00:03:42Go, go, go!
00:04:19Go, go, go!
00:04:21Go, go, go!
00:04:24Go, go, go!
00:04:49Go, go, go, go, go!
00:04:50Oh, look!
00:04:52That must be Kahnstein Castle.
00:04:54It's beautiful.
00:04:56Just like a fairy tale.
00:04:57Whoever owns that must be rich.
00:05:01Who lives there?
00:05:03Count Kahnstein.
00:05:07Count Kahnstein.
00:05:09Count Kahnstein.
00:05:13We've never been here before.
00:05:15We come from Venice.
00:05:31We come from
00:05:31We come from Venice.
00:05:35We come from Venice.
00:05:35Come from Venice.
00:06:01No, you chop that one off!
00:06:05No, no, no, you chop that one off!
00:06:09Maria, Frida.
00:06:11I'm Cathy.
00:06:12I swear I'll never be able to tell the difference.
00:06:15You were both about that high when I last saw you.
00:06:17Come along.
00:06:31Perhaps you'd like to go to your room now and change.
00:06:34Change?
00:06:35Your uncle will be back soon.
00:06:37Of course.
00:06:38You'd like us to look our best.
00:06:40Oh, no.
00:06:41I mean, yes.
00:06:43Well, that is, we do things differently from Venice, you see.
00:06:46No, I don't see at all.
00:06:50What I mean is that had you lived in Kahnstein,
00:06:53you would still be wearing black.
00:06:55Why?
00:06:57But Aunt Cathy, it's not lack of respect.
00:06:59We wore black for more than two months.
00:07:02Until last week.
00:07:03Well, we do things differently here.
00:07:06Your uncle wouldn't like it.
00:07:08He's a very religious man.
00:07:09We didn't bring any black.
00:07:13Well, perhaps something more sober.
00:07:17Yes, of course, if you'd like it.
00:07:20Well, thank you, Maria.
00:07:21I'll show you your room.
00:07:32What kind of plumage is this?
00:07:36For birds of paradise?
00:07:38Maria, Frida, this is your uncle Gustav.
00:07:43Do you know the fourth commandment?
00:07:46Which one is that?
00:07:48Honor thy father and thy mother,
00:07:51that thy days may be long upon the land
00:07:53which the Lord thy God hath given thee.
00:07:56Uncle, we didn't mean to offend you.
00:08:08Your parents are not yet cold in their graves.
00:08:16Your room is at the top of the stairs.
00:08:18The door is open.
00:08:24Gustav, I'll get you a meal.
00:08:27There is no need.
00:08:30I am going out.
00:08:35There is a meeting of the Brotherhood.
00:08:46The death of two young men
00:08:49within the last ten days
00:08:51and each victim
00:08:53bearing the mark of the devil.
00:08:58This place has been accursed
00:09:00to the evil of some who abide here.
00:09:03But the signs are plain.
00:09:05God is calling on us
00:09:07who believe in his holy word
00:09:09to stamp out that evil.
00:09:12To seek out the devil worshippers
00:09:16and to purify their spirits
00:09:18so that they may find mercy
00:09:21at the seat of the Lord
00:09:22by burning them!
00:09:27I know of one.
00:09:31Speak, brother.
00:09:32There is a cottage in the woods.
00:09:34A young girl lives there alone.
00:09:37Refuses to take her husband.
00:09:38They say she has many husbands.
00:09:40She's a creature of the devil.
00:09:41Wicked!
00:09:42Immoral!
00:09:43Burn her!
00:09:46Burn her!
00:09:48Burn her!
00:09:49Burn her!
00:09:50Burn her!
00:09:50Burn her!
00:09:51Burn her!
00:09:51Burn her!
00:09:52Burn her!
00:09:55Burn her!
00:09:56Burn her!
00:10:04Burn her!
00:10:18Put her to bed at nine o'clock.
00:10:20You'd think we were ten years old.
00:10:22You'd better put out the candles.
00:10:23Uncle Gustav might be back.
00:10:25Let him come.
00:10:26I don't care.
00:10:26I'm thinking about Aunt Kathy.
00:10:29Yes, she's terrified of him.
00:10:32God, how would you like to be married to a man like that?
00:10:36I'm sure he means no harm.
00:10:37Oh, no. He's a man of God. Too good to be true.
00:10:42I know he's kind.
00:10:43What do you mean?
00:10:45I can just imagine.
00:10:46If he came back now and saw the lights on in here,
00:10:50that would give him an excuse to come in.
00:10:52Frida.
00:10:53Don't you know men like that?
00:10:54Didn't you ever notice them in the park
00:10:56when we were little girls?
00:10:57With funny staring eyes.
00:10:59Frida, stop it.
00:11:00You see if I'm not right.
00:11:01He'd love to find us doing something wrong just to punish us.
00:11:05It would give him a thrill.
00:11:06I'm not going to listen.
00:11:08All right, but let me tell you,
00:11:10it's going to be hell living in this house.
00:11:12But what can we do?
00:11:13Uncle Gustav is our guardian now.
00:11:16He may be yours.
00:11:17He's not going to be mine.
00:11:19Not for long.
00:11:22I'm going away from here.
00:11:23Oh.
00:11:27I'll find a way.
00:11:45Halt.
00:11:47I'll go first.
00:12:14What's the meaning of this vial?
00:12:22Out witch-hunting again?
00:12:24You've come to the wrong place.
00:12:26We seek the servants of the devil.
00:12:29Well, you've found one.
00:12:31Me.
00:12:33Now get out.
00:12:43Don't let them bother you.
00:12:45Some men like a musical evening.
00:12:48Vial and his friends find their pleasure through burning innocent girls.
00:12:53Innocent?
00:12:57You do not know the meaning of the word.
00:13:00Well, I know the meaning of the word intrusion.
00:13:02Do you?
00:13:03You are arrogant, Count Kahnstein.
00:13:06Because you have the protection of the court.
00:13:08Of the emperor himself.
00:13:10But there is a higher authority.
00:13:13Tell that to the emperor.
00:13:15God will have his revenge.
00:13:20Mind he doesn't have it on you.
00:13:22Now get out!
00:13:33Look at them.
00:13:34Gustav Weill and his brave band in search of women.
00:13:40Here.
00:13:42You can have Goethe if you like.
00:13:44If you want some excitement.
00:13:46You'll feel better then.
00:13:48You won't go around burning pretty girls.
00:14:14You won't go around burning pretty girls.
00:14:23Let him shoot, Joachim.
00:14:26The emperor will hang them all.
00:14:39A public hanging in a square, Vial.
00:14:41You mustn't have all the pleasure yourself.
00:14:44Everyone enjoys a good hanging.
00:14:47Pray for me, Vial.
00:14:49That's what you're supposed to do for sinners, isn't it?
00:14:52Pray for me!
00:15:07Halt!
00:15:20Keep up!
00:15:36All right, now.
00:15:40Look at his face, drained of blood.
00:15:55The devil has struck again.
00:15:57Not the devil himself, but his servants.
00:16:00She lives not two kilometers from here.
00:16:01You see, I warned you.
00:16:15The Lord will light our path.
00:16:17Let us ride!
00:16:44Oh, there she is!
00:16:48Ride her down!
00:16:51Oh!
00:16:52There she is!
00:17:03Ride her down!
00:17:12Help!
00:17:40Let's go!
00:17:45The aristocracy of this country is decadent.
00:17:52Their whole lives are devoted to sinful pleasures and pursuit of lust.
00:17:58Is it any wonder that the devil comes amongst us?
00:18:02But God's will shall prevail.
00:18:05Amen.
00:18:06Freedom.
00:18:08Shh! Their wickedness will not be tolerated long.
00:18:10The Lord will send word to his servants. Do not doubt it.
00:18:15Gustav, be careful. The Count has important friends.
00:18:18Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
00:18:22And sinners, every one of them.
00:18:25They meet at the castle and hold debauched gatherings.
00:18:29Men and women stripped naked, they say.
00:18:32Indulge in pagan rites.
00:18:35Practice the black arts.
00:18:37They worship the devil.
00:18:38They're all slaves to Count Kahnstein, and he is their evil master.
00:18:45They shall not...
00:18:46Gustav, the girls, please.
00:18:49The sooner Kahnstein is exposed what he is, the better it will be for everyone.
00:18:57His evil practices cast a shadow over our countryside, over our lives.
00:19:05Young girls from the villages are abducted by Kahnstein's lackeys, and initiated into unspeakable ceremonies.
00:19:20And his friends.
00:19:21Kahnstein and his friends.
00:19:24Maria, come and look.
00:19:30Maria, come and look.
00:19:39You can see it.
00:19:40You can see the light of the castle from here.
00:19:44You can see the light of the castle from here.
00:19:47You know what I want more than anything else?
00:19:52To meet Count Kahnstein.
00:19:54Captain Kahnstein.
00:19:55Captain Kahnstein.
00:20:07Let's go.
00:20:27Satana te adoro, seremo minion, fragile en noi per voro.
00:20:34Your Excellency is pleased with the entertainment?
00:20:40Satana, Satana, mostrate in my life.
00:20:43He's calling up the devil.
00:20:45Well, so can I. Or you. But will the devil come?
00:20:51Fresh blood.
00:20:54The guts of a chicken or a suckling pig.
00:20:57The devil won't be cheated as easily as that, Dietrich.
00:21:01Your Excellency is pleased with the girl?
00:21:03A peasant. Bought for a few gold coins.
00:21:07Can you never find anything new, different?
00:21:11No, my lord, I try.
00:21:13They say that Gustave Weil has two pretty nieces staying with him.
00:21:18Twins. That would be something different.
00:21:22Your Excellency is pleased to joke.
00:21:24We do not want trouble with a man like Weil.
00:21:34I don't know why I employ you, Dietrich.
00:21:37You bore me personally.
00:21:39And everything you do for me I find tedious.
00:21:42Including this charade.
00:21:52Look, he is possessed.
00:21:55Venge, Satana!
00:22:01Is this your manifestation of the devil?
00:22:03Look, I've exorcised him.
00:22:06You are charlatans, all of you.
00:22:09Get out!
00:22:16Forgive me, my lord.
00:22:18No.
00:22:19Leave her.
00:22:21Oh, of course.
00:22:23And now go.
00:22:25Yes, at once.
00:22:26Your Excellency knows that I endeavoured to do my utmost to please him.
00:22:34They knew.
00:22:35They didn't play at being wicked.
00:22:38They worshipped the devil and he taught them delights that you will never know.
00:22:43Of punishment.
00:22:44Inflicting and receiving it.
00:22:46Of torture.
00:22:48And death.
00:22:50Yes.
00:22:51Of death.
00:22:53And of pleasures beyond the grave.
00:22:56Something you could not even comprehend!
00:23:00But I know.
00:23:04Go, Dietrich!
00:23:08Good night, my lord.
00:23:11Good night, my lord.
00:23:35Good night.
00:23:42Good night.
00:23:43Good night.
00:23:47Good night.
00:23:47Oh, lord of darkness.
00:23:49I am weary of this world and its pathetic pleasures.
00:23:54Teach me to reach beyond the flesh.
00:23:57Reveal yourself to me that I may bow down before you and be your servant.
00:24:02Give me the power to do your evil.
00:24:05No.
00:24:06No, please.
00:24:07No.
00:24:08In the token of my faith.
00:24:10I offer you...
00:24:12this woman.
00:24:23Satan!
00:24:30Satan!
00:24:39Satan!
00:25:02Yeah!
00:25:18I will be here...
00:25:19This woman.
00:25:20Is that the gun?
00:25:20Is that me?
00:25:23Where are you?
00:25:25Is that the gun?
00:25:29I am very sorry.
00:25:30You didn't find it?
00:25:44Oh, my God.
00:26:07Oh, my God.
00:26:51Oh, my God.
00:27:02Frida, what are you doing?
00:27:04Nothing.
00:27:05Just looking.
00:27:07The storm is beautiful.
00:27:09And when the lightning flashes, you can see Kahnstein Castle.
00:27:12Frida!
00:27:16Mercallum.
00:27:19Mercallum.
00:27:26He sent you?
00:27:27Yes.
00:27:30Must I give my life?
00:27:31Your soul.
00:27:32Your body remains on earth.
00:27:34You will be of the undead.
00:27:37When?
00:27:38Now.
00:27:40Now.

00:30:20Hold up there.
00:30:22Good morning.
00:30:23Good morning, man.
00:30:24Just wait a bit.
00:30:25The boar hunters are coming through this way.
00:30:27We are not far from the village now.
00:30:56There's nothing to be afraid of.
00:30:58It's just the men of the village out hunting.
00:31:00That awful sound.
00:31:02They're killing the boar, you see.
00:31:05Don't worry.
00:31:05Don't worry.
00:31:06Don't worry.
00:31:11Don't worry.
00:31:39You're not far from anywhere.
00:31:46Hello, Linda. Hello. This is Maria and Rita. Hello. I shall never be able to tell one from the other.
00:31:55This is Ingrid Hopper, who runs the school here. Her brother Anton is the choir master. I'm sorry that Anton
00:32:01isn't here. He's hunting. We passed him on the way. I expect he won't be long. They're coming now.
00:32:11Girls, back to your places. What is there to look at? You've seen the men coming back from hunting before.
00:32:21Shall we sit down? The girls are always happy for any excuse to stop work for a few moments. I
00:32:28expect you two are just the same.
00:32:35Come and meet our new pupils. Come on. Anton, this is Frida and this is Maria. No, no. I'm Frida.
00:32:48I'm Maria. I can't tell the difference between them. Nor can I. But it seems Anton can. What do you
00:32:54mean? Well, just look at him.
00:32:58I saw you right by. While you were hunting? Yes. It seems to be everyone's occupation here. Hunting of one
00:33:06kind or the other. What do you mean?
00:33:09Boars in the morning and witches at night. Oh? Who told you about that? No one told me anything. I
00:33:15listened. To your uncle? Yes.
00:33:18Don't blame me for that. I take no part in it. Don't you? No. I think it's barbaric. But superstition
00:33:25dies very hard here. You wouldn't understand.
00:33:29I don't want to. I hate it here. Your uncle is misguided, perhaps. But he's a good man.
00:33:36Perhaps I don't like good men. Anton?
00:33:45Maria was asking about the history of Karnstein. I told her you were the expert.
00:33:53It's all here, Maria. In this book. Look. I'll show you.
00:34:09And it's still a mystery.
00:34:13I can assure you it's true. Myth and magic are interwoven for the peasants of Karnstein.
00:34:36Where's Frieda?
00:34:38Sir!
00:34:40This is my niece.
00:34:42It is a pleasure to make her acquaintance.
00:34:44My words were not an introduction, but a warning.
00:34:49Go in.
00:34:51At once!
00:35:05Sir?
00:35:06You are impertinent.
00:35:09I am not a peasant.
00:35:10And I acknowledge only one lord.
00:35:13Both my nieces will be instructed never to speak to you again.
00:35:31Have you got us into enough trouble? No supper and early to bed. Is that all you ever think about?
00:35:37Yourself?
00:35:38Don't be so greedy.
00:35:39But if anyone comes and finds you gone, there will be a terrible scene.
00:35:42No one is going to notice, stupid. I don't know what you're complaining about. All you have to do is
00:35:47go to sleep.
00:35:48I'm not asking you to come with me.
00:35:50I wouldn't dare.
00:35:52I know you wouldn't.
00:35:53You're scared of your own shadow and terrified of dear Uncle Gustav.
00:35:57Yes, I am.
00:35:58Well, I'm not. I don't care if he does find me gone.
00:36:02The Count will protect me.
00:36:04Frieda, I beg you, think about what you're doing.
00:36:07Everyone says he's a wicked man. What about it?
00:36:10Who wants to be good if being good is singing hymns and praying all day long?
00:36:14He's doing what's best for us, I'm sure.
00:36:17It might be best for you. It's not for me.
00:36:21I'm going and you might as well stop arguing about it.
00:36:25And I warn you if you dare tell on me.
00:36:28Frieda, you know I wouldn't do that.
00:36:30I'm just telling you. You know what will happen if you do.
00:36:33Stop it. You're hurting me.
00:36:35Not harp as much as I will if you don't keep quiet.
00:36:42They're all in bed now. No one will notice.
00:36:45And don't lie awake waiting for me.
00:36:48And don't worry. I shan't be long.
00:36:51Frieda, I beg you, don't go.
00:36:54I've warned you once.
00:36:56You know what I'll do to you if you make any trouble, don't you?
00:37:00Don't you?
00:37:07I am.
00:37:37Ah!
00:38:20To Satan.
00:38:32Deatric, you're not amusing us tonight.
00:38:37What's wrong?
00:38:38It is nothing, my lord.
00:38:40It must be something.
00:38:42Don't make a secret of it. Tell us.
00:38:46Perhaps a little later, my lord, in private.
00:38:49It is a personal matter.
00:38:51Ah!
00:38:54A young lady, I'm sure.
00:38:57What is it? Did she run away from you?
00:39:00She disappeared a few nights ago.
00:39:03I do not know what happened.
00:39:06She disappeared.
00:39:07Then it must have been your magicians.
00:39:09Perhaps their spells really did work.
00:39:12Her parents blame me.
00:39:14You must have a very bad reputation, Deatric.
00:39:18They are threatening to report to the authorities.
00:39:20They had better not do that, Deatric.
00:39:23It might be very bad for you.
00:39:27You must pay them.
00:39:29All peasants are insatiably greedy.
00:39:32Aren't they, my dear?
00:39:37Come!
00:39:38No more of your love life, Deatric.
00:39:40It's too boring.
00:39:44Joachim, more wine.
00:39:56Come on.
00:39:57Go.
00:39:58Go.
00:39:59Go.
00:40:07Go.
00:40:10Go.
00:40:11Go.
00:40:12Go.
00:40:13Go.
00:40:14Go.
00:40:15Go.
00:40:15Go.
00:40:15Go.
00:40:15The End
00:40:39Really, everyone's so dull this evening.
00:40:43Go at her. You're worse than Dietrich.
00:40:46If it is your pleasure, my lord, I'll go.
00:40:49No, it is not my pleasure. You'll stay.
00:40:54I want to know what you think of Frida.
00:40:58Don't you think she's beautiful?
00:41:01She's all right.
00:41:06That's not a very handsome compliment.
00:41:08You're not jealous, I hope.
00:41:10I am a simple peasant girl, my lord.
00:41:13We can be bought for a few pieces of gold.
00:41:15Now you're being insolent, girl.
00:41:17Get her. Silence, Dietrich.
00:41:19You need to be taught a lesson.
00:41:22Don't you think so?
00:41:24Yeah.
00:41:27Then we'll punish her together.
00:41:29No!
00:41:31My lord, I apologise.
00:41:32If you'll permit me to leave.
00:41:37Joachim.
00:41:51You don't mind, do you?
00:41:54If we play with Goethe.
00:42:21You are very beautiful.
00:42:26For you, all pleasures should be supreme.
00:42:31And one supreme pleasure is to take a human life.
00:42:38For all our pleasures, we must pay.
00:42:43Will you pay?
00:42:45Will you pay?
00:42:46Anything.
00:43:00Look.
00:43:01What do you see?
00:43:08We are the undead.
00:43:10Immortal.
00:43:11No man can harm us unless he bores a stake through our hearts.
00:43:14Or beheads us.
00:43:16No one is protected from us unless they hold the hated cross.
00:43:20You're a vampire.
00:43:21Yes.
00:43:22I can savor the most extreme of Satan's delights.
00:43:25I can feed on the blood of a human victim.
00:43:29No.
00:43:30Not me.
00:43:31It is a test.
00:43:32One who is dedicated to the devil and his deeds
00:43:34will not die by a vampire's bite.
00:43:36But will become one of the undead.
00:43:39A vampire.
00:43:41The good and the innocent die.
00:43:45Please!
00:43:49Please!
00:44:15Now.
00:44:24No!
00:44:26No!
00:44:28No!
00:44:46Do you
00:44:52Oh, no! No!
00:44:55Oh, no!
00:45:15Another funeral pyre, another sacrifice.
00:45:19They are frightened.
00:45:21Is that an excuse for want and cruelty?
00:45:24Five people have been found dead.
00:45:26Three others have disappeared.
00:45:27And three young girls have been burned at the stake.
00:45:30Add those lives to the total.
00:45:33Anton, I know how you feel.
00:45:35No, you don't.
00:45:39You think I'm just angry.
00:45:41But it's more than that.
00:45:42I feel sick with fear and revulsion against myself.
00:45:50Anton?
00:45:51Yes.
00:45:52Because I'm such a coward.
00:45:56Oh, Ingrid.
00:45:59How much longer can decent people stand by and watch this reign of terror by Gustav Weil and his religious
00:46:05friends?
00:46:05But what can we do?
00:46:09Oh, I know some of those poor girls were innocent.
00:46:12I'm sure they were.
00:46:14But...
00:46:15Anyone poor?
00:46:17Living alone and not a devoted member of the church.
00:46:20Anyone young and pretty, because then their morals are questionable.
00:46:24But Gustav has young and pretty nieces.
00:46:26Ah, under his protection.
00:46:29Probably just as well.
00:46:31They have a great many admirers.
00:46:34Frida in particular.
00:46:37Did you think I wouldn't notice, Anton?
00:46:39I'm afraid it's rather obvious.
00:46:42Why Frida, though?
00:46:44Maria seems much nicer to me.
00:46:46Since one can hardly tell the difference between them.
00:46:48Oh, I can.
00:46:50Maria is very nice.
00:46:51Probably much nicer than Frida.
00:46:53But Frida has a kind of fire inside her.
00:46:56I can almost feel it burning when I'm near to her.
00:46:58And she has a strange, mysterious quality.
00:47:02Maria is like an open book.
00:47:03While with Frida, one feels you could go on learning about her forever.
00:47:08I suppose it depends on what there is to learn.
00:47:11Still, it's a very romantic notion.
00:47:15The only trouble is...
00:47:17What?
00:47:18If you want to court Gustav Weil's niece,
00:47:20you'd better not offend him.
00:47:27Someone has got to do something.
00:47:39Frida?
00:47:41Frida, that's Uncle Gustav.
00:47:42You only just got back in time.
00:47:51Who cares?
00:47:53I may leave here altogether soon.
00:47:58Although, in a way, I like having her uncle as my protector.
00:48:05Frida.
00:48:06Frida, you must stop it.
00:48:09Uncle Gustav is bound to find out soon.
00:48:11I can't keep covering up for you.
00:48:14I don't want to.
00:48:15You will do what I tell you.
00:48:18But it was only luck he didn't find out today.
00:48:20He knew you weren't here.
00:48:23He what?
00:48:24Oh, it was all right.
00:48:26I pretended to be you.
00:48:27And he can't tell the difference between us.
00:48:31That's all right then.
00:48:33Except that he thrashed me with his belt.
00:48:35Because he said I was telling lies about not knowing where you were.
00:48:39Where you were?
00:48:40Yes.
00:48:41And tomorrow I'll get beaten again for being me because I wasn't home at dusk.
00:48:47Oh, my poor Maria.
00:48:49It isn't fair.
00:48:51I think tomorrow you ought to pretend to be me.
00:48:54If he ever touches me, I'll kill him.
00:49:02Frida, what's happened to you?
00:49:05Ever since you went away that night, you seem like a different person.
00:49:11Yes.
00:49:35Get ready to go out now, girls.
00:49:44It's a lovely song, Anton.
00:49:47We'll leave you to finish it in peace.
00:49:51Right?
00:49:51Come on.
00:50:12Anton.
00:50:13A visitor for you.
00:50:14A visitor for you.
00:50:22I'm getting ready to go out now.
00:50:23Gustav.
00:50:26Won't you sit down?
00:50:45you sent a letter to the elders of our church complaining of my ungodly behavior yes
00:51:03they have written to me asking that I investigate whether you are a servant of the devil
00:51:24you read a great deal
00:51:27yes books on black magic vampires I study history and superstition as a part of superstition do you
00:51:39not believe in the existence of the devil I believe that wickedness exists in every man
00:51:44then tell me now do you believe in the existence of God not in the cruel and vengeful being that
00:51:52you believe in which must always take a life for a life burning purifies not if you know anything
00:51:58about vampires by burning you char the body the soul will only recreate itself in another body and
00:52:07continue with its carnage only a stake through the heart or decapitation can end their torment of evil
00:52:14if vampires exist you know they exist there are many things even men of learning do not understand
00:52:34if you ever interfere with the ways of the brotherhood again you will suffer
00:52:43take care Anton
00:52:47for your own sake
00:52:54and your sisters
00:53:15the little youthful maiden come unto my great heart
00:53:47I'm sure you must be sending me away for some other reason why the sudden concern for aunt Heidi I'm
00:53:54worried about her
00:53:55she must be she must be ill if she would have written
00:53:58anyway a few days away will do you good
00:54:00but I'm alright
00:54:02it's you who seem nervous and upset
00:54:05why don't you go
00:54:07and what about the school
00:54:08oh I can take the girls
00:54:09for crochet work
00:54:11for extra choir practice
00:54:15alright
00:54:16I'll go
00:54:19but I think you want to be left alone with someone
00:54:22and I can guess who
00:54:25what else did he say
00:54:26I don't know
00:54:27I didn't hear it all
00:54:29aunt Kathy shut the door
00:54:32something about everyone going on trial from now on
00:54:36for complicity with the devil
00:54:38so that the whole village can see how just and lawful they are I suppose
00:54:42but he didn't threaten Anton
00:54:45I'm not sure
00:54:46he had some kind of a grudge against him
00:54:51what do you care
00:54:52are you in love with him
00:54:54of course not
00:54:56the rest of the girls seem to be

00:55:04Frida
00:55:07Frida
00:55:15you won't go out tonight
00:55:16will you
00:55:18please
00:55:21I get so frightened
00:55:26don't you realize

00:55:30I might
00:55:33oh leave me alone
00:55:34nope
00:55:46oh
00:55:47oh
00:55:48oh
00:55:48oh
00:56:01oh
00:56:04I
00:57:00I regret my sister cannot be present this morning.
00:57:03An aunt of ours in the next village is taken sick.
00:57:06I hope she'll be back this afternoon, but in the meanwhile, I shall be taking her classes.
00:57:11However, as I'm not really competent to instruct you in the art of needlecraft,
00:57:15we shall be having extra choir practice instead.
00:57:18Sir, can we have your song?
00:57:21Well...
00:57:21Please.
00:57:23All right.
00:57:24Is it a hymn, sir?
00:57:25My father only allows us to sing hymns.
00:57:27It's a kind of a hymn.
00:57:29Really?
00:57:36So, schoolmaster, you do not believe in the devil.
00:57:40What's the meaning of this?
00:57:41I demand an explanation.
00:57:47Gustav, what kind of a chariot is this?
00:57:49A victim of the vampires you scorn found this morning.
00:57:53This is a schoolhouse, not a burial place.
00:57:56You're disgusting, barbaric, all of you.
00:57:58Now get out!
00:57:59These girls are all our kin.
00:58:02We leave to you with the training of their voices.
00:58:05But we teach them the path to God and the byways of the devil.
00:58:11No, I forbid it!
00:58:13Let them all see.
00:58:15Learn your lesson, choir master.
00:58:54Child, you should not be out so late.
00:58:59Maria, or is it Frida?
00:59:14Your uncle would be very angry.
00:59:22Welcome to you, robbers.
00:59:48Uncle, save me.
00:59:50It was terrible.
00:59:51We were attacked by vampires.
00:59:53I only just escaped.
00:59:59There is blood on your lips.
01:00:02It came from a vampire.
01:00:04He tried to kiss me.
01:00:06Uncle, please.
01:00:07You've got to believe me.
01:00:19The devil has sent me twins of evil.
01:00:24Take her to the jail.
01:00:49No, I won't let you go near that child.
01:00:52Frida, yes.
01:00:53I can believe anything of her.
01:00:54A lot has happened that you don't know about.
01:00:57It might have been better if I had known.
01:00:59Why?
01:01:00So that you can beat the devil out of her?
01:01:02Yes.
01:01:03Have you ever thought that you might have helped to beat the devil into her?
01:01:07The young must be chastised.
01:01:10The young must be chastised.
01:01:10I will not let you touch Maria.
01:01:16The brotherhood will want to see her.
01:01:18Then let them see her now asleep.
01:01:22Asleep.
01:01:23And clasping the holy cross to her breast.
01:01:26And you'd call her a daughter of the devil.
01:01:30Asleep.
01:01:32I asked the apothecary to give her a potion to calm her.
01:01:36The way you appeared, ranting and raving, I was fearful for her state of mind.
01:01:41Woman, in what state of mind do you think I was?
01:01:44Truly, I cannot imagine.
01:01:55I have tried always to be a good man.
01:02:01Yes.
01:02:03You've tried.
01:02:10Frida, what will become of her?
01:02:20Frida, what will become of her?
01:02:21Can nothing be done for her?
01:02:23The spirit exorcised.
01:02:27The brotherhood.
01:02:33They will decide.
01:02:51No.
01:02:55No.
01:02:56No.
01:03:06No.
01:03:08Frida.
01:03:09Frida, don't go. Please. Not to that man. He's wicked.
01:03:20Count Kahnstein. Frida, Count Kahnstein, don't go to the castle. Not tonight. Please.
01:04:07The hour grows late.
01:04:09Why delay any longer? Let us burn her now.
01:04:13But we agreed only two days ago that we would hold a trial.
01:04:17What is that I hear? Weren't we all there?
01:04:20Just because she's Gustav's niece.
01:04:22Brother, pray that your family may not be stricken.
01:04:25And where is Gustav?
01:04:27A patient.
01:04:28A patient.
01:04:29A patient.
01:04:56A patient.
01:04:58It's so bad.
01:05:01I...
01:05:23Guilty.
01:05:25Guilty.
01:05:27Guilty.
01:05:32Then she must burn.
01:05:38I'm coming!
01:05:42I'm coming!
01:06:19I'm coming!
01:06:27I'm coming!
01:06:28I knew you'd come.
01:06:30You will be Maria now.
01:06:33Unsuspected.
01:06:34Good and kind and virginal.
01:06:38Think of the havoc you can cause.
01:06:41Quickly, we must change them.
01:06:55We must hurry.
01:06:58Your uncle and his Puritans are on their way here.
01:07:02Brothers, we have seen death enough this night.
01:07:06Let it be at dawn.
01:07:08No!
01:07:11Why give the devil time to come to the aid of his servants?
01:07:14Burn her now!
01:07:22So be it.
01:07:27Gustav!
01:07:30I've only just heard.
01:07:32It's not true about Frieda.
01:07:36Yes.
01:07:36But it's madness.
01:07:39What proof of you?
01:07:41Any of you?
01:07:42The proof of our own eyes.
01:07:45Oh, no.
01:07:47All of us.
01:07:52But Maria!
01:07:54Don't you see?
01:07:55If you kill Frieda, you'll kill Maria too.
01:07:58You can do nothing for Frieda.
01:08:01Maria is at the house.
01:08:18Go south!
01:08:20Go south!
01:08:20No!
01:08:26No!
01:08:27No!
01:08:33No!
01:08:35No!
01:08:37No!
01:08:39No!
01:08:44No!
01:08:45Where is the girl?
01:08:55Drop Isle.
01:09:01Drop Isle.
01:09:09If proof were needed, look how the devils own sleep.
01:09:13Careless of their sins.
01:09:27Maria?
01:09:31Maria.
01:09:40Maria.
01:09:45Maria.
01:09:51My poor sister, Frida.
01:09:55Maria.
01:09:56Maria.
01:10:06Frida.
01:10:17Frida.
01:10:17Where is your aunt?
01:10:19I don't know.
01:10:21Is she not in the house?
01:10:22No.
01:10:25Then we're alone.
01:10:44No.
01:10:46Not yet.
01:10:50No.
01:10:51Not yet.
01:10:56No.
01:11:01No.
01:11:04No.
01:11:06No.
01:11:20Fire!
01:11:29You don't know how much I've always wanted you.
01:12:09You don't know how much I've always wanted you to do.
01:12:27Come on, get up, get up!
01:12:51You don't know how much I've always wanted you to do.
01:12:56You don't know how much I've always wanted you to do.
01:13:32You've got the wrong girl!
01:13:35The devil has outwitted you.
01:13:37It is Maria you're burning.
01:13:39You must believe me!
01:13:41Frieda is the evil one.
01:13:43And while you're burning this innocent girl, Frieda is claiming more victims.
01:13:46The devil has taken your mind.
01:13:51Hold up a holy cross and see if either of us flinch.
01:14:09Oh God, oh God.
01:14:19Maria!
01:14:21Maria!
01:14:23Maria!
01:14:24Wait!
01:14:25Where is her sister?
01:14:26With Count Karnstein.
01:14:30Oh Lord.
01:14:33Lord, forgive me.
01:14:35Will you dare burn him?
01:14:37Yes!
01:14:39But the emperor would send soldiers to burn our homes, our churches.
01:14:43Oh yes.
01:14:45You're very quick to ride out into the forest.
01:14:47To seek out a young girl or a mad old man.
01:14:50Anyone you can use as a convenient sacrifice to your conscience.
01:14:55But when it comes to the great lord of the castle, though you know he worships evil, you hesitate.
01:15:01We are not afraid.
01:15:03We serve the lord.
01:15:05He is our protection.
01:15:09Then let him be your protection.
01:15:11And seek out the evil you fear where it really is.
01:15:14And the castle on the hill, where the Karnsteins have practiced every evil known to man for centuries.
01:15:20With their master, the devil.
01:15:23Yes!
01:15:23Then why doesn't the emperor act?
01:15:26Because every man, king or peasant, is afraid of the devil.
01:15:32But there comes a time when courage must outweigh fear.
01:15:36When a belief in the lord must be.
01:15:39Not a pious belief.
01:15:42But a reality.
01:15:43In the face of death and damnation.
01:15:46Yes!
01:15:49If Count Karnstein is a vampire, then no ruler on earth will save him.
01:15:55No!
01:15:56No!
01:15:58Burning is useless.
01:16:00Fire will not vanquish vampires.
01:16:03You must stake them through the heart or cut off their heads.
01:16:06Sharpen the end of your wooden stakes.
01:16:08Use lances, axes.
01:16:09I see the wedding!
01:16:12I see the wedding!
01:16:18Anton.
01:16:20Is it true?
01:16:21A stake through the heart?
01:16:23Or decapitation?
01:16:25Returns the victim's innocence.
01:16:28Sends their soul to God.
01:16:30If one spark of God's spirit remains in them.
01:16:32Yes.
01:16:34Yes.
01:16:57God is with our cause!
01:17:00To the castle!
01:17:01Hooray!
01:17:02Let's go!
01:17:20You are shivering.
01:17:22Is it the night air?
01:17:24Or fear of your uncle Gustave?
01:17:26I often wondered if this would happen.
01:17:28And it has.
01:17:29Well, let them come.
01:17:32But...
01:17:32But what?
01:17:34Are you frightened?
01:17:36No.
01:17:36Of that lovely white flesh burning in their fires of purification?
01:17:44Let us go.
01:17:45Quickly!
01:17:46Why?
01:17:48Fire will not burn us.
01:17:50It will melt our bodies.
01:17:52But without pain.
01:17:54We will just laugh at them.
01:17:56And find new bodies.
01:17:59And new victims.
01:18:31Yes, Joachim.
01:18:32We know they are coming.
01:18:34We are waiting for them.
01:18:35What?
01:18:36Who?
01:18:37They have crosses?
01:18:39What?
01:18:41Who?
01:18:41Who?
01:18:42And stakes?
01:18:43Who?
01:18:45Who?
01:18:46Who?
01:18:46And axes?
01:18:50Anton!
01:18:57No. We will take the old tunnel.
01:19:00Come!
01:19:05No, Joachim. Someone must hold them off.
01:19:08You must go that way.
01:19:21France! See the women. Stay back here.
01:19:23We must guard every tunnel. Karnstein must be found.
01:19:26No, wait. We must find Karnstein first. Follow me.
01:19:49No!
01:19:51No!
01:19:53No!
01:19:53Ah!
01:20:00Hold him!
01:20:02Hold him!
01:20:05Hold him down!
01:20:07Into the heart!
01:20:07Ah!
01:20:27You must go first. And I'll keep watch.
01:20:44Luke!
01:20:47No!
01:20:51Ah!
01:20:53Oh!
01:20:55Oh, God!
01:21:03Oh!
01:21:28Take her to the chapel.
01:21:30What is it, child? What's the matter?
01:21:33I don't know. I suddenly felt terrible pain, but something's happened to Frieda. I must find her.
01:21:41No, wait!
01:21:47Right, you two over there. The rest of you spread out.
01:21:52Come on!
01:21:56Frieda is dead. You must take Maria back to the village.
01:21:59Maria is gone. Where? She went to find her sister. Oh, God!
01:22:03You must find it quickly.
01:22:26Frieda.
01:22:42Maria!
01:22:44Maria!
01:22:47Maria!
01:22:49Maria!
01:22:50No!
01:22:50No!
01:22:52No!
01:22:53No!
01:22:54Go!
01:22:55No!
01:22:57No!
01:22:57No, let me...
01:23:01Go on, lad.
01:23:03Let's see if car signs on there. Let's see if car signs on there. You follow me.
01:23:06Come on!
01:23:10Come on. Keep going.
01:23:25For God's sake, tell the men to hold back! He's got a rear!
01:23:51No, you can't. She's too close.
01:23:56There must be some way. We can only trust in God.
01:24:02Now, join your sister. No!
01:24:10Gustav! I have waited. A long time for this moment.
01:24:14And I too.
01:24:27Just one blow, Vile. And it must be here. Or you will join the devil's souls.
01:24:33Ha, ha, ha!
01:24:44Ha, ha, ha!
01:24:45Ha, ha, ha, ha!
01:24:47Ha-ha!
01:24:58Gustafus!
01:25:21Oh, my God.
01:25:55Oh, my God.
01:26:19Oh, my God.
01:26:21Oh, my God.
01:26:22Oh, my God.
01:26:23Oh, my God.
01:27:11Oh, my God.
