The Screaming Skull (1958) is an independently made American black‑and‑white horror film directed by Alex Nicol in his directorial debut.
Distributed by American International Pictures, it was released in August 1958 as a double feature with Terror from the Year 5000.

The story follows newlyweds Jenni and Eric Whitlock as they move into Eric’s isolated estate, where Jenni becomes convinced she is being haunted by the ghost of Eric’s deceased first wife, Marion. Strange screams, eerie apparitions, and the recurring appearance of a skull drive Jenni toward psychological collapse. The film is famous for its tongue‑in‑cheek opening warning that the movie is so frightening it “may kill you,” promising a free burial for anyone who dies of fright.

00:04:15THE END
00:04:37Well, it's rather forbidding now, I suppose, empty like this, but it was usually this way.
00:04:44Shortly after Marion and I were married, she removed all the furniture her parents had left her.
00:04:49This is our home, she used to say, and we must choose everything carefully.
00:04:55Well, we didn't get very far before she died.
00:04:59But now that you're here, it's going to be lovely again.
00:05:04I'll get the things out of storage tomorrow for Old Town a warehouse.
00:05:13And I'll take care of that, too.
00:05:16You have candles.
00:05:18Sure.
00:05:19It'll be twice as romantic.
00:05:22Speaking of being romantic.
00:05:28I forgot to carry you over the threshold.
00:05:34I love you.
00:05:37I love you.
00:05:39Oh, Jenny.
00:05:41I thought life had died out for me.
00:06:00What's that up there?
00:06:02Oh, that's where Mickey keeps his gardening things.
00:06:05Where's Mickey?
00:06:06The gardener.
00:06:08He's kept it up the two years I've been away.
00:06:11By himself?
00:06:12That's right.
00:06:14He must work awfully hard.
00:06:16Oh, he and Marion would spend hours on end working here in the gardens.
00:06:19And up in the greenhouse back there.
00:06:22See, he loved her very much.
00:06:25Sometimes I used to wonder who she was.
00:06:27My wife or Mickey's nursemaid.
00:06:30You know, I don't think he quite believes she's gone.
00:06:33I think he expects her to show up one of these mornings and scold her for neglecting the gardens.
00:06:38You still love her, don't you?
00:06:45No, I'm not jealous.
00:06:48I'm grateful to him.
00:06:50I think to have loved once.
00:06:52Really loved.
00:06:54To learn how to love always.
00:06:57Learning it from her, you give again to me.
00:07:01I wish there was some way to thank her.
00:07:09Who's that?
00:07:10I don't know.
00:07:12They're driving around the back.
00:07:17Come on.
00:07:17Come on along.
00:07:22Eric!
00:07:22I see Eric.
00:07:23Will you stop by to meet your new wife?
00:07:27Oh, Eric, this is a wonderful surprise.
00:07:29It's been a long time.
00:07:30It has.
00:07:31Reverend.
00:07:32Good to see you, Eric.
00:07:33Jenny.
00:07:34This is Mrs. Snow.
00:07:35I'm very happy to meet you.
00:07:37Jenny, this is a lovely surprise.
00:07:40And the Reverend Mr. Snow.
00:07:42Hello, my dear.
00:07:43Oh, she's sweet, Eric.
00:07:44I know.
00:07:45I happen to be going into town.
00:07:47I ran into Mr. Maurer.
00:07:48He told me you were getting back today.
00:07:50And we thought we'd just drop by and bring you something for your dinner.
00:07:53Oh, nice.
00:07:54And that'll save you all the bother of shopping while you're trying to get settled.
00:07:57Then why don't you stay for dinner?
00:07:59Oh, no.
00:08:00Not tonight.
00:08:01No, we wouldn't think of that.
00:08:02Oh, now, please say yes.
00:08:03Good luck for you, too.
00:08:05It would be like old times.
00:08:06All right.
00:08:07On the condition that I do the cooking.
00:08:09You don't have to.
00:08:11You know, I know that.
00:08:12But I'd love to.
00:08:15Well, there's Mickey.
00:08:16Excuse me, honey.
00:08:18Mickey!
00:08:24Oh, poor Mickey.
00:08:28He keeps this place up like a shrine.
00:08:34Eric told me how he loved Marion.
00:08:36Mickey's father was a gardener here when Marion's mother was alive.
00:08:40Mickey and Marion grew up together here.
00:08:44Jenny, this is Mickey.
00:08:48How do you do, Mickey?
00:08:49I hope we'll be good friends.
00:08:52Well, Mickey.
00:08:59Thank you, Mickey.
00:09:01Well, shall we all go inside?
00:09:03That's a good idea.
00:09:04Mickey, remember you promised me some of those rose cuttings.
00:09:07Nice seeing you again, Mickey.
00:09:09I'm going to have to get you down to the barbershop one day very soon.
00:09:12Excuse us, Mickey.
00:09:27Come on, Mickey.
00:09:29Come on.
00:09:30I'll catch you.
00:09:31Come on.
00:09:34When are you kanske?
00:09:37In another way.
00:09:39Actually, it's not going, Anybody?
00:09:40I'll draw just one second and another third one.
00:09:42Watch it.
00:09:42debates.
00:09:42Come on.
00:09:43Come on.
00:09:44Come on, Eddie.
00:09:52All right, that's done.
00:09:54Oh, now, please, please.
00:09:56Oh, Edward, now, don't break your neck.
00:09:58You do everything, Robert. Don't worry.
00:10:01Good heavens, honestly, the two of them are just like children.
00:10:04Well, that doesn't look too bad, Eric.
00:10:06Jenny, I hope you have more luck in getting your husband to mine
00:10:09than I've had with mine.
00:10:11You know, you've got to admit, it does make the room look better.
00:10:14Very well, Tyson. For penance, you can come and help me with dinner.
00:10:18Now, come on. Edward, you keep Jenny company?
00:10:20Yes, dear.
00:10:37No, Mary, no.
00:10:41Send them away.
00:10:46Huh?
00:10:47No.
00:10:50Oh, she's so very nice, Eric.
00:10:53Jenny?
00:10:54Yes.
00:10:54Isn't she wonderful?
00:10:55She's not at all like Mary, and I think that's for the best.
00:10:59You know, so many men, when they lose a wife, they try so hard to deny the loss.
00:11:03They marry someone exactly like the first wife.
00:11:05It hardly seems fair using the living to bring back the dead, does it?
00:11:09No, I suppose it doesn't.
00:11:11No, I suppose it doesn't.
00:11:11We make a prison for ourselves out of the past, at least our sentimental wished for pasts.
00:11:16Mrs. Snow.
00:11:17Yes, dear.
00:11:19There's something I must tell you and the Reverend.
00:11:21Well, of course, Eric.
00:11:22What is it?
00:11:24You see, Jenny has not had a very happy past.
00:11:26Oh?
00:11:27And talking about it or about something that might strongly remind her of it.
00:11:31She's very impressionable.
00:11:33Is there something wrong, Eric?
00:11:35No, not really.
00:11:36You see, she lost her parents many years ago in a very tragic way.
00:11:43And talking about unhappy pasts, only she's very impressionable.
00:11:48See, I want her to be happy, Mrs. Snow.
00:11:50Of course you do, and so do we all.
00:11:53Now, how did she lose them?
00:11:57Well, look, I'm not prying, dear.
00:11:59It's just that Mr. Snow and I can help better if we know something about it.
00:12:02They drowned in an accident.
00:12:06Jenny saw it all.
00:12:10Who's Mr. Mauer?
00:12:12Mr. Mauer?
00:12:13Why, he's a lawyer in town.
00:12:15I thought no one knew we were coming.
00:12:16You said you heard from Mr. Mauer?
00:12:18Well, Eric wrote him.
00:12:20He takes care of the estate or what's left of it.
00:12:23Oh, that's right.
00:12:23Eric has to see him tomorrow.
00:12:26Well, Eric's co-executor of the estate along with Mr. Mauer.
00:12:29You see, Marion's death was so sudden that, well,
00:12:32all that was left to Eric was the house and these grounds.
00:12:35Mr. Mauer told me that Eric had found someone very sweet and very kind
00:12:40with whom he was very much in love.
00:12:42He didn't say enough.
00:12:50How did Marion die?
00:12:52Didn't Eric tell you?
00:12:55I think the subject's rather painful to him.
00:12:57I'd like to make him talk about it.
00:13:02Would you mind telling me?
00:13:03I'd like to know.
00:13:06It was a rainy day.
00:13:09She and Mickey had been working up there in the greenhouse.
00:13:12She left him to go back to the house for a few minutes.
00:13:17The way we pieced it together after the accident is that
00:13:22while she was coming down this path,
00:13:25apparently it began to rain very hard.
00:13:28She must have run along here.
00:13:31We don't know, of course, what happened then.
00:13:35Perhaps she slipped on a leaf.
00:13:38The base of her skull was smashed.
00:13:45It was thought that she hit her head on the edge of the cement wall
00:13:49where we're sitting.
00:13:50And she fell in there.
00:13:53She died in the water.
00:13:54That's where Eric found her ten minutes later.
00:14:02Mary.
00:14:04Mary.
00:14:07Mary.
00:14:08You said...
00:14:10You said, Mickey, wait here.
00:14:14I'm going down to the house for just a minute.
00:14:19Wait here, Mickey, you said.
00:14:21And then you went away in the rain.
00:14:25And you didn't come back to play.
00:14:28Mary.
00:14:29What?
00:14:31Why did you...
00:14:32Why did you...
00:14:34And don't forget that you and Eric are coming for lunch the day after tomorrow.
00:14:38We'll do better than that.
00:14:39We'll come to church on Sunday as well.
00:14:41Oh, getting Eric to church is like moving a mountain.
00:14:45You'll come.
00:14:45Come along, my dear. It's getting late.
00:14:49Eric, thank you very much for bringing Jenny into our lives.
00:14:53Thank you for the dinner.
00:14:54It was a pleasure.
00:14:56Good night.
00:14:57Good night.
00:15:00Edward, did you know that Jenny's very wealthy?
00:15:03Oh, yes. Mr. Ma told me in town today.
00:15:05She's not at all like Mary. You know, she's so gentle and timid as if...
00:15:09as if she were afraid of something.
00:15:14I knew you'd like my friends, dear.
00:15:18Hey, what's this?
00:15:20Huh?
00:15:21Just happy, that's all.
00:15:23Oh, come.
00:15:24So happy.
00:15:25Mom.
00:15:25Uh-huh.
00:15:51How were the cots?
00:15:54It's fine.
00:15:59What are you reading?
00:16:02Something Mrs. Snow sent over.
00:16:06Interesting.
00:16:10It's called Beast in the Jungle.
00:16:16It's all about a man who waited all of his life...
00:16:20...for something great and wonderful to happen to him.
00:16:24He had only one good friend.
00:16:28It's a woman whom he confided.
00:16:33And she died.
00:16:36At her grave, he...
00:16:39...suddenly realized that she was the great and wonderful thing...
00:16:41...that he'd waited for all of his life.
00:16:45But it was too late then.
00:16:49And his memories, like...
00:16:52...beast in the jungle...
00:16:54...rise up out of the past...
00:16:57...and overwhelm him.
00:17:00Oh, poor fellow.
00:17:05He doesn't know what he missed.
00:17:16Well...
00:17:44Eric?
00:18:12Eric?
00:18:30Eric?
00:18:32Eric?
00:18:36Eric?
00:19:08Hey, what are you doing here?
00:19:15Where are you?
00:19:19I thought I heard someone moving about.
00:19:22What is this?
00:19:27What is this?
00:19:30Is that water?
00:19:34A lily pad?
00:19:45I don't think Mickey looks far in the pond.
00:19:49Jenny, now stop it.
00:19:52I can't help it, Eric.
00:19:53That bad feeling's come back.
00:19:55I forbid you to talk about it.
00:19:57She looked like that, Eric.
00:19:59My mother looked like that.
00:20:01Jenny, Jenny.
00:20:03I can't help it, Eric.
00:20:06Darling, you're just talking yourself into those same old fears.
00:20:09I've got to talk about it, Eric.
00:20:11I have to talk about it.
00:20:11I forbid you to talk about it now.
00:20:14What?
00:20:16Just that with you beside me, I'm alive again.
00:20:18I don't want to be sick anymore.
00:20:19Honey, look.
00:20:21You mustn't go on thinking like this.
00:20:25Besides, how could a very poorly done self-portrait upset you so much?
00:20:38I know it's only my own fear.
00:20:40It's my own guilt that I can't get away from.
00:20:44Eric, I'm sorry.
00:20:50I want you to listen to me.
00:20:52And I want you to believe me.
00:21:00Now, you were sick once.
00:21:01Yes.
00:21:02But you were cured.
00:21:05Mickey caused this.
00:21:07You may as well know.
00:21:08He does look for Marion night after night down by that pond.
00:21:12And he probably comes here afterwards.
00:21:15I'm going to speak to Mickey in the morning.
00:21:18Now, don't you see?
00:21:20How simply it's all explained away.
00:21:23But if I also heard a scream, Eric.
00:21:26Before, when I went to the hospital, I was hearing things.
00:21:30I'm hearing them again.
00:21:31What did you hear?
00:21:33It was a high, strange scream.
00:21:36High, strange scream.
00:21:38Like a peacock's cry?
00:21:39What's that sound like?
00:21:41Come here.
00:21:59You see?
00:22:02It's all very, very real.
00:22:06Such a fool.
00:22:08You feeling better now?
00:22:09Yes.
00:22:30Shh.
00:22:31Shh.
00:22:36Night.
00:22:43Ah, we won't be bothered with any of Mickey's nightly visits anymore.
00:22:47I've forbidden him to come into the house.
00:22:49I was just nervous last night.
00:22:51I wish you wouldn't take it out on Mickey.
00:22:52No, he's a child.
00:22:54Must be disciplined.
00:22:55I'd like him to feel I'm his friend.
00:22:58Why don't you do some gardening with him while I'm in town?
00:23:01If he sees you're interested, you win him over quickly enough.
00:23:04Wait a minute.
00:23:12I need a list of staples, mostly.
00:23:14Are you sure you don't want to come in with me?
00:23:18You'll get more done without him.
00:23:22I've got to see about the lights, the phone, the bank, and the warehouse people about that furniture.
00:23:27You know, that cough just about broken my back.
00:23:30Don't forget to see Mr. Maurer.
00:23:31I have to see him this evening.
00:23:32It's a bore, but I'll have to see him.
00:23:35Will you be home in time for dinner?
00:23:36I'll wait for you.
00:23:37No, if I'm not, don't you worry, darling.
00:23:38Getting out of Maurer's clutches sometimes requires an act of God.
00:23:42I love you.
00:24:05Hello, Mickey.
00:24:15Oh, look out.
00:24:16He almost cut him.
00:24:19He's a handsome one, isn't he?
00:24:21So cuddly and warm.
00:24:23When I was a little girl, I used to want to be a caterpillar.
00:24:29So I was a very little girl.
00:24:32Here you go.
00:24:36Marion must have loved her gardens.
00:24:39We'll keep them lovely for her always.
00:24:42You know what I'd like to do, Mickey?
00:24:45I'd like to pick some of the nicest flowers and take them to her.
00:24:50Would you like that?
00:24:53Yes.
00:24:56Eric told me she was near here.
00:25:00Would you show me where?
00:25:01I could just sit there and take her home.
00:25:02I'll leave.
00:25:03No, no, no.
00:25:10It's a miracle.
00:25:11Come on, Miss途確定.
00:25:11You have to take your home.
00:25:12Come on.
00:25:12Good.
00:25:22Ma'am for now, Missette.
00:25:23What?
00:25:24I'm with the other Role.
00:25:24I can't do that.
00:25:27I can't do that.
00:25:38Is that all right, Mickey?
00:25:43I'm sure it was a great loss to all of you, Mickey.
00:25:49She cries.
00:25:51She cries?
00:25:54In the night.
00:25:55Dead people don't cry, Mickey.
00:25:57I heard her.
00:26:02Heard her?
00:26:14Mickey?
00:26:31In the night.
00:26:50Oh, God.
00:26:55I can't answer that.
00:28:20I don't think you'd quite expect she's gone.
00:28:23She cries.
00:28:25She cries in the night.
00:28:29I think he expects her to show up one of these mornings.
00:28:32She died in the water.
00:28:35The base of her skull was smashed.
00:28:39She didn't want to die.
00:28:41She died in the water.
00:28:43She died in the water.
00:28:59She died in the water.
00:29:01She died in the water.
00:29:02Oh, my God.
00:29:34Oh, my God.
00:39:15We need somebody outside of the confusions of our love for each other.
00:39:20Now, the Reverend Snow will be here in the morning.
00:39:31Who's in there?
00:39:35Well, this much is real anyway. Look here, Jenny.
00:39:40You see, this is how you gouged your hand.
00:39:42You say you threw the skull down here where Eric is looking?
00:39:47Here.
00:39:48Did you find anything, Eric?
00:39:50Nothing yet.
00:39:53Surely, Jenny, you must agree with me that anything as fragile as a skull would have been smashed to bits
00:39:59down there.
00:40:00And Eric has found nothing.
00:40:02And to assume that the skull would move of its own all the way from there to the driveway door.
00:40:08Now, Jenny, there's no reason for that.
00:40:12Don't you see I agree with you?
00:40:16Did Eric tell you I spent over a year in the sanitarium?
00:40:19Oh, Eric told Mrs. Snow that you were very impressionable.
00:40:22But that's all.
00:40:24I know lots of people needing a rest go to sanitariums.
00:40:28This wasn't quite that kind of sanitarium.
00:40:33You see, I grew up loving my father and hating my mother.
00:40:40Well, she never knew it.
00:40:43Something I kept to myself.
00:40:46She was very beautiful.
00:40:48Very gay, like her.
00:40:52Very much.
00:40:53And I knew she resented that I was not more like her.
00:40:59I used to lie awake at night and wish she were dead.
00:41:06Well, that isn't very unusual.
00:41:08I understand many children go through such a period.
00:41:11I was no longer a child.
00:41:17And one day...
00:41:22I got my wish.
00:41:25They were both drowned.
00:41:29I could still hear her scream.
00:41:33I was all alone on the little beach.
00:41:36And all I could see was the overturned boat on the top of the waves.
00:41:41And I kept trying to reach them.
00:41:44And the waves kept throwing me back.
00:41:50And then...
00:41:52And then...
00:41:53I could hear her cries no more.
00:41:57And then hours later...
00:41:59The men came and searched for the bodies.
00:42:04They were never found.
00:42:08That's when this bad feeling started.
00:42:10This feeling that if I really wanted to, I could have saved them, but I didn't.
00:42:15That I really killed them.
00:42:20No, Jenny.
00:42:21You tried.
00:42:22You tried your very best.
00:42:24I did.
00:42:25But singing, begging, praying, couldn't make this feeling go away.
00:42:31That's when they took me to the hospital.
00:42:36They told me I was cured.
00:42:38Jenny.
00:42:41They told me I was cured.
00:42:45They're cured.
00:42:53Mickey?
00:43:04Mickey!
00:43:11All right, you go on.
00:43:13I'll be there in time for lunch.
00:43:14But where do you think he's gone off to, Eric?
00:43:16Who knows about Mickey?
00:43:18He might be hiding.
00:43:20Have you looked at Marion's grave?
00:44:02He might be hiding.
00:44:05Mickey?
00:44:07Mickey!
00:44:12Mickey!
00:44:15Mickey!
00:44:18Mickey!
00:44:23Mickey!
00:44:42Eric, did you find him?
00:44:43No.
00:44:45Where's Jenny?
00:44:45She's with Mrs. Snow on the patio.
00:44:47Eric, I think I should tell you that Jenny has confided in me about the sanitarium.
00:44:53Ah.
00:44:54Does your wife know?
00:44:57I told her Jenny was impressionable, but not that.
00:44:59I haven't said a word to her.
00:45:02Mr. Snow, you can do both Jenny and me a great favor by forgetting she ever told you that.
00:45:07But Eric, if it helps explain, it explains nothing.
00:45:11If I were you, Eric, I'd take her away.
00:45:14If she's so impressionable and that house frightens her so much, why subject her to it?
00:45:19Look, I can't do a thing like that.
00:45:21Be the worst thing for her.
00:45:23Mr. Snow, it would be admitting she was sick again.
00:45:26I want her to be happy.
00:45:29We'll stay here.
00:45:30Perhaps you know best, Eric.
00:45:32See, I've got a simple and old-fashioned piece of philosophy.
00:45:35The only cure for her fear is to teach her she's loved.
00:45:38I mean, really loved.
00:45:41And I love her so much.
00:45:43God bless you for that, Eric.
00:45:45She's a very fortunate woman having someone like you to care for her.
00:45:53Good night, Sue.
00:45:55Oh, Jenny. Jenny.
00:45:58I'm sorry.
00:46:00Donnie, you've got to believe.
00:46:02It will not happen again.
00:46:04Ever.
00:46:06Mickey?
00:46:08Mickey!
00:46:09Eric.
00:46:11Eric!
00:46:27Eric, stop it!
00:46:28All right.
00:46:29What are you going to do on that skull?
00:46:30Stop it! It wasn't his fault.
00:46:31Where did you get it?
00:46:32Leave him alone.
00:46:33I'll take care of this, Jenny.
00:46:34Now, I know you don't like me, Mickey.
00:46:36I know you don't need to get us to leave here.
00:46:38This idiotic attempt to scare us as if we were children.
00:46:41It was you, wasn't it?
00:46:43Wasn't it?
00:46:44No, not me. Not me.
00:46:47Get out of here. Get out of here!
00:46:59I wish you'd apologize to him.
00:47:02You know as well as I do it's not his false troll in my own mind.
00:47:05Jenny, I'm going to do something.
00:47:09And you're going to help me do it.
00:47:11What's that?
00:47:12That portrait upstairs.
00:47:15It reminds you of your mother.
00:47:19Yes.
00:47:20You were fine until you saw it.
00:47:23Now it has you all preoccupied with memories of the past.
00:47:28We're going to burn it.
00:47:31It's precious to you, Eric.
00:47:32The picture means nothing to me.
00:47:35I want you to be happy.
00:47:37We can't be until this fear is out of our lives.
00:48:02All right, Jenny.
00:48:05Go on, Jenny.
00:48:24Let's go back to the house.
00:48:34Let's go back to the house.
00:48:35It's only the peacocks.
00:48:57Fire's almost out.
00:49:01They'll burn it.
00:49:03We can't let those ashes stand overnight.
00:49:05And the brush in these hills is a regular tinderbox.
00:49:10Do you want to help me?
00:49:19Are you feeling better?
00:49:23It's as if I destroyed her with my own hands.
00:49:29She'll come back and...
00:49:32She'll come back.
00:49:33Darling, if you go on talking that way you destroy,
00:49:36the whole purpose of the thing is out of the house and it's over.
00:49:40You just give it half a chance and you'll begin to forget it.
00:49:46And if you'll just spread those ashes out a little for me,
00:49:48I'll get the water to it.
00:49:52That's it.
00:50:06Eric!
00:50:07Eric!
00:50:09Eric!
00:50:11What is it, darling?
00:50:12The skull!
00:50:14It's the skull!
00:50:15Darling, there's no skull there.
00:50:18There's no skull there, darling.
00:50:20There's no skull there, Jenny.
00:50:23Darling, there's no skull there.
00:50:26There's no skull.
00:50:28There's no skull.
00:50:34there.
00:50:53There's no skull.
00:50:54along thoseines,
00:50:57people do some своей��
00:50:58The sky is plain트.
00:51:26I'll see you next time.
00:51:37You're going to be able to catch a plane tonight?
00:51:40When we get into town, I will call Mr. Maurer.
00:51:43He'll arrange a midnight plane.
00:51:45I thought there'd be more time.
00:51:47Time for so many wonderful things.
00:51:50It's going to be all right.
00:51:54Of course.
00:52:00It's just me.
00:52:04It's going to be all right.
00:52:14Good evening, my dear.
00:52:16Mrs. Snow's hens thought you might like some fresh eggs for your breakfast in the morning.
00:52:20Hello, Eric.
00:52:22This is a surprise.
00:52:23Those hens labored mightily, as you can see.
00:52:26Fine. I'll take them.
00:52:30You'll excuse me, dear?
00:52:31Of course.
00:52:36What is it, Eric?
00:52:40I've got to take Jenny away.
00:52:42The hospital she was in before.
00:52:44It happened again?
00:52:46I thought it would help her if we got rid of that portrait.
00:52:49You know the one.
00:52:50Yes.
00:52:52We burned it.
00:52:53She saw a skull in the ashes.
00:52:56You were there?
00:52:57I saw nothing, of course.
00:52:59Of course.
00:53:00And I thought it was Mickey.
00:53:02But when I was there myself, and I saw her...
00:53:08Mr. Snow, there's something I've never told you.
00:53:10I've never told anybody.
00:53:13But when Jenny was put away in that hospital...
00:53:17...she tried to do away with herself.
00:53:21I'm terribly afraid.
00:53:22You think she might try it again?
00:53:24I know she will.
00:53:25Unless I get her back to that hospital.
00:53:28When are you going?
00:53:29Tonight.
00:53:31We shall miss you.
00:53:33Mrs. Snow and I have grown very fond of Jenny.
00:53:35Yes, and she of you.
00:53:38I don't suppose you'll be coming back here again, Eric?
00:53:40No.
00:53:42Never.
00:53:47I'll miss him and his wife.
00:53:50He's very kind.
00:53:52Yes.
00:53:54I said goodbye to him just now.
00:53:56He tried to talk me out of what I saw.
00:53:59How?
00:54:01He said he thought the skull was real.
00:54:05He's going to bring some men in the morning to search the estate.
00:54:08Where?
00:54:10Everywhere.
00:54:11Everywhere.
00:54:14He's just talking, trying to be kind.
00:54:17I suppose.
00:54:23I'll go upstairs and pack.
00:54:26You want to come with me?
00:54:29I'll be up in a minute.
00:54:55I'll go upstairs and jump.
00:54:57I'll go upstairs.
00:54:59I'll go upstairs and pack.
00:55:24Mickey!
00:55:25Mickey!
00:55:27Mickey!
00:55:30Mickey!
00:55:42Mickey!
00:55:42Mickey!
00:55:47Mickey!
00:55:49Mickey!
00:55:49All right.
00:55:50Where's the skull?
00:55:52You saw me put it in a pond.
00:55:53You must have.
00:55:54Where is it?
00:55:54I don't know.
00:55:55Don't lie to me.
00:55:56Don't lie to me.
00:55:57Where is it?
00:55:58I don't know.
00:55:59Tell me the truth.
00:56:00You took it.
00:56:01Tell me.
00:56:02Tell me.
00:56:03Tell me!
00:56:04I didn't take it.
00:56:05I didn't take it.
00:56:06Who?
00:56:06Who?
00:56:07Not me.
00:56:08Not me.
00:56:09Who?
00:56:09No!
00:56:10No!
00:56:11Marion!
00:56:12Marion!
00:56:16Marion!
00:56:43Marion!
00:56:48Marion!
00:56:49Marion!
00:56:55Let's go.
00:57:43Oh, Edward, in the name of heaven.
00:57:47Mickey, where did you find this?
00:57:50Well, who put it there?
00:57:51He did.
00:57:52Eric?
00:57:52He did.
00:57:53Then there was a skull.
00:57:55But Eric said that he didn't see it when Jenny saw it.
00:57:59I know.
00:58:00Oh, but why should Eric lie like that?
00:58:02Mickey, those other times with the skull, did you do it?
00:58:06No.
00:58:07Mickey, you've never lied to me before.
00:58:08Lying is a sin.
00:58:09You understand that?
00:58:11You must not lie to me now.
00:58:13Did you do it, Mickey, all those other times?
00:58:15No.
00:58:15I simply do not understand that if it wasn't Mickey.
00:58:18And it wasn't her imagination.
00:58:21But why would Eric do such a thing?
00:58:23I don't know.
00:58:25I just don't know.
00:58:26Well, what do you think we should do about it?
00:58:28We're going back there, to that house.
00:58:43Mickey?
00:58:43Mickey?
00:58:43Mickey?
00:58:43Mickey?
00:59:28BIRDS CHIRP
00:59:35Mickey?
00:59:38Eric and I are leaving, Mickey.
00:59:41I'd like to say goodbye.
00:59:45I'd like to leave as your friend, Mickey.
00:59:54Mickey?
00:59:59Mickey?
01:00:03Mickey?
01:00:05Mickey?

01:06:08Where is Eric?
01:06:12I don't know.
01:06:15I don't know.
01:06:16I'll find him.
01:06:17It's all right.
01:06:18Edward, now be careful.
01:06:19Shh.
01:06:20It's all right, darling.
01:06:22Oh, it's all right.

01:06:58Eric.
01:07:11Why did he do it?
01:07:13Your money.
01:07:15The question is now, did Marion die in an accident?
01:07:18I suppose we'll never know.
01:07:46They're gone. Rest.
