00:01:46stories on wax. They listened in secret to tales spun round, presented in scary or phonic
00:01:55sound. When poor daddy died, auntie took up the slack, afraid of her shadow. Needle, his,
00:02:05crack! As the years fell away, all the tales disappeared, replaced by a world far more
00:02:15frightening and weird. Afraid to move forward, repeating the track, backmasking the story,
00:02:25Needle, his, crack! There was a young woman with anger to burn, whose demons demanded the
00:02:35final return. A witch cackles costly, a hammer goes, Crack! The voices are calling, Needle,
00:02:43his, crack! Now gather, dear children, don't utter a word. The diol set at 33 and a third.
00:02:54The record is spinning, the grooves worn and cracked. The story has started, there's no turning
00:03:01back. Now spinning, certain tracks to frighten, but in the black.
00:03:17The words of the
00:03:50I don't know.
00:04:12Love you.
00:04:14Love you guys.
00:04:16Love you.
00:04:17Thanks for coming.
00:04:22See you Friday.
00:04:23We'll talk about it at lunch.
00:04:57She can't stay in this house by herself.
00:05:00She's a recluse, just like Evie.
00:05:04I'll take care of that.
00:05:05Thanks.
00:05:08I don't think she could handle the upkeep.
00:05:10I mean, they couldn't handle it between the two of them.
00:05:13She can't afford to stay.
00:05:15All she has is that filing job.
00:05:17She's an account manager.
00:05:19Whatever it is, she couldn't be making much.
00:05:22And she certainly can't afford the taxes on this place, which are going to fall on my shoulders now.
00:05:27Did you see that house down the street?
00:05:30Lordy, it looks like it's been abandoned forever.
00:05:34This neighborhood's changed.
00:05:40I don't think she should live here alone.
00:05:44The police still aren't sure what happened the other night.
00:05:47They believe someone broke into the house, even though nothing was stolen.
00:05:50I don't think she should live here alone.
00:06:27I don't think she should live here alone.
00:06:30I don't think she's Fold 2.
00:08:32Look, doll, you call us if you need anything, okay?
00:08:35We're going to have to talk about what we're going to do with the house.
00:08:38And soon, maybe next week sometime.
00:08:42Yeah.
00:08:43Good.
00:08:44Good.
00:08:49Be safe, doll.
00:09:01And that's when he saw it.
00:09:04A handwritten note that read,
00:09:07I've upon the cedar box.
00:09:12Have you ever seen something happen?
00:09:14Good.
00:09:15Good.
00:09:16Good.
00:09:17Good.
00:09:31Good.
00:09:32Good.
00:09:33Good.
00:09:33Good.
00:09:34Good.
00:09:35Good.
00:09:43Good.
00:10:03Good.
00:10:05Good.
00:10:05Good.
00:10:05Good.
00:10:05Good.
00:10:05Good.
00:10:05Good.
00:10:05Good.
00:10:05Good.
00:10:05many terrible and frightening things in advance. Several years ago, when the days
00:10:12began to grow shorter, my sight took me to an old lake house where two young
00:10:19mothers, Jess and Peter, were spending their fall break together. They arrived
00:10:25in the black of night, unaware that someone was watching.
00:10:32Well, here we are. Oh, Peter, it's charming. The lights to the kitchen are around here
00:10:40somewhere. Here we go. Oh, you were right. This was worth a two-hour drive. And in the
00:10:48morning, you'll be able to see the lake from the back patio. Where is that light coming
00:10:54from? Oh, I think that's the back porch of the Sterling's place. They're an older couple
00:11:00who live here year-round. They're referred to as townies. Not many of them around
00:11:06anymore. Not since... Not since what? Oh, nothing really. There was some trouble
00:11:15several years ago, but that's all in the past. That sounds a little ominous. You're not trying
00:11:21to scare me, are you? Not at all. Jess walked over to the window where the light seemed to
00:11:29have grown brighter. As she glanced outside, her eyes slowly began to adjust to the eerie glow
00:11:37of the light passing through the dark trees. Suddenly, the silhouette of a figure standing
00:11:43just a few yards away from their cabin came into view.
00:11:48I asked her, uh, ah...
00:11:56And she sang...
00:11:59And I asked her, ah...
00:12:01She talks again. They sang to ėعģ was greater.
00:12:13She just depended?
00:12:13And my tenure denke back then was realized.
00:12:15She's treated as constant sprawl.
00:12:16And even something was a part of an assertion.
00:12:28Mr. Riddle was having an affair with a woman in his office.
00:12:32It had been going on for some time, but no one in the office seemed to mind.
00:12:37No one liked Riddle much and appreciated anything that gave him a distraction.
00:12:47I'm surprised to see you here. I thought you were going to take a few days off.
00:12:50I had to get out of the house.
00:12:54Yeah, okay. Don't you get the flowers I sent you?
00:12:58I did. Thank you.
00:13:02Let me know if you want some company later.
00:13:21Riddle was a clever businessman, but less clever when it came to concealing his indiscretions from his wife.
00:13:35The Two
00:13:37After years of abuse from their psychotic father, the two teenage brothers had had enough.
00:13:42One night, after returning home from hours of drinking at the local pub, the patriarch passed out on the floor
00:13:48of his bedroom.
00:13:50The two siblings forced rat poison down the mouth of their unconscious father, ensuring he would never wake up again.
00:13:57Their hate for him so strong that they simply threw a sheet over his body and closed the door.
00:14:02Not even the putrid scent of his rotting corpse could compel them to ever touch him again.
00:14:08The dull noises that would sometimes come from his room, they attributed to maggots slowly devouring the body.
00:14:15This idea, never confirmed by either, gave them endless pleasure.
00:14:19The End
00:14:21The End
00:14:24The End
00:14:25The End
00:15:03I hear you've got a leaky faucet.
00:15:10Sounds like a tsunami hit the living room.
00:15:13Just an old horror record Dad and I used to listen to.
00:15:16I found several stashed under Aunt Evie's bed.
00:15:18She absolutely hated them.
00:15:23It's a little strange she would have kept them for so long.
00:15:27I find them comforting.
00:15:31Well, I know one person for sure who didn't find them comforting the other day.
00:15:37I didn't mean to upset Aunt Ruth.
00:15:39I don't know what I was thinking.
00:15:41Don't worry about it.
00:15:42Well, I can't fix whatever storm's brewing in there.
00:15:45But I did fix the bathroom, the leak.
00:15:49You needed a seat washer.
00:15:52Oh, a seat washer.
00:15:54A seat washer.
00:15:55And lucky for you, I had one in my toolbox.
00:15:58Thank you for doing that.
00:15:59I know you're not feeling well.
00:16:01No, I'm okay.
00:16:03They've got me on some pretty good pain meds.
00:16:05You could probably use some yourself.
00:16:07Oh, my foot's okay.
00:16:09It's feeling better.
00:16:12Have some food.
00:16:15Do you have any of that cake left that Miss Mustin brought?
00:16:18I do.
00:16:19Yes.
00:16:41So, when's any surgery again?
00:16:44A couple days.
00:16:46You know, I'm going to be out of commission for several weeks.
00:16:49And there's not going to be anybody to run interference between you and your aunt.
00:16:53No.
00:16:54We'll play nice.
00:16:57Aggie.
00:16:58She's serious about selling the house.
00:17:01She's got a real estate agent.
00:17:20Franklin and Eleanor Perry had seen better days.
00:17:23A geriatric couple, both in their late 70s, had watched their only son grow up and move
00:17:28away, rarely to be heard from save the odd holiday.
00:17:32Retired, the couple holed up in their deteriorating home, watching the neighborhood shrink and fade
00:17:38around them.
00:17:40Lately, Eleanor had begun to sleepwalk, carry on lengthy conversations with herself in the
00:17:45dead of night.
00:17:46Often, Franklin would find her in their son's old bedroom, kept exactly how he left it before
00:17:52college, talking to him as if he were there.
00:17:56One rainy night, well after midnight, Franklin was awakened in his bed by a distant voice.
00:18:02He turned to find his wife missing.
00:18:05This was not unusual.
00:18:06In fact, it was happening ever more frequently lately.
00:18:09But Franklin was concerned his wife might accidentally hurt herself in her somnambulant
00:18:14states.
00:18:15So he got up to find her and guide her back to bed.
00:18:19Thunder roared outside as he walked down the dark hallway, fearful turning on the light
00:18:25which frightened Eleanor.
00:18:26His path was lighted occasionally by a flash of lightning.
00:18:30He quietly walked towards the door at the inn, the door to his son's room.
00:18:35Faintly, he could hear his wife speaking in a relaxed, even joyful tone.
00:18:40You really should get out of those wet clothes.
00:18:43You'll catch a death.
00:18:45It's too late for you to be running around.
00:18:48You've got school tomorrow.
00:18:50But then, Franklin heard something that froze his blood.
00:18:54The muffled voice of a young man.
00:18:57Yeah.
00:18:59I forgot about school.
00:19:02Frantic, Franklin ran to the hall closet and grabbed her baseball bat.
00:19:06He quickly walked back to the bedroom door where his wife was still speaking happily.
00:19:11He slowly opened the door and saw his wife in the dim bedroom lights, looking at a tall,
00:19:17lean figure in a hooded jacket.
00:19:19What the hell?
00:19:22No!
00:19:25What you after?
00:19:26That f***ing bat.
00:19:27Beat his goddamn head in.
00:19:42Who are you?
00:19:50Dizzy from their violent rampage and eyes blurry from the blood spattering their faces,
00:19:55the two young men hastily stuffed as much as they could into a couple of pillowcases.
00:20:00A jewelry box, an old clock, a book of coins, and a bloody token that the two would soon regret.
00:20:29What's going on?
00:20:30Like, this is where a hat can work type and everything.
00:20:32Like, what's going on?
00:20:33Right.
00:20:33I'm not exactly sure.
00:20:35We've got detectives here, they're going to figure it out, and we'll be able to put out a statement.
00:20:39They were in the garden yesterday.
00:20:40They were in the garden yesterday.
00:20:40Right, right.
00:20:41And I'm sure that the investigators are going to do their job, but we've just got to keep everybody out
00:20:47right now,
00:20:47and we'll be able to give you a statement here in a little while.
00:20:50But right now, it's an ongoing investigation, so we can't really talk much about it.
00:21:14After beating the old woman's head in with a hammer, one of her eyes flew out of its socket, still
00:21:20attached by a stringy muscle.
00:21:22The youngest of the two ripped it out of the head and threw it in a pillowcase.
00:21:26They left the same way they came in, through the shattered bedroom window.
00:21:31Hastily, they sprinted quickly down the dark, rainy alley.
00:21:36They stopped at some trash cans several houses down, disposing of the bloody hammer they had used to murder the
00:21:42old couple.
00:21:44The thunder, growing ever louder, seemingly calling them out for their vicious crime.
00:22:14They've got a lot of annoying graves, so they were so good.
00:22:24Not having a good zamir no sign.
00:22:26They've got to add in front of me.
00:22:55So, let's go.
00:23:40I don't know.
00:23:58I don't know.
00:24:29Agatha, you remember Detective Ross?
00:24:31He was here the night of the incident.
00:24:33I do.
00:24:34How are you, Detective?
00:24:36Ms. Black, I'm doing well.
00:24:37Sorry to barge in on you like this,
00:24:39but you're a hard person to get a hold of.
00:24:41I finally got in contact with your aunt.
00:24:43Who still uses a rotary phone?
00:24:46One with no answering machine.
00:24:48This is an old conversation.
00:24:50One certainly worth having,
00:24:53especially after the incident last night.
00:24:54Are you aware of what happened to your neighbors down the street?
00:24:58The Hewitts?
00:25:00Yeah, I don't know the whole story, but...
00:25:03They were killed, Agatha.
00:25:05They were murdered last night in their own home.
00:25:08Someone broke through a back window,
00:25:10and we think it was a robbery that was interrupted.
00:25:13Detective Ross says that the bodies were butchered beyond recognition.
00:25:18Agatha, we think what happened to you and your aunt might be related.
00:25:23Did you hear anything peculiar last night?
00:25:26It was around midnight?
00:25:29No.
00:25:30I was asleep by midnight.
00:25:31I had to work today,
00:25:33but I did see the crowd gathered this morning.
00:25:37Did you know the Hewitts very well?
00:25:39Um, not really.
00:25:42Um, Aunt Evie knew them years ago,
00:25:44but they didn't really go out much within the last few years.
00:25:48Yeah.
00:25:49Mrs. Hewitt's rehab nurse found them this morning.
00:25:52Otherwise, no one would have discovered their bodies for days.
00:25:58Why don't I make us some tea?
00:26:06I'm very concerned that someone in the neighborhood
00:26:09is responsible for these break-ins.
00:26:11Lots of drug activity going on over the last couple of years.
00:26:14I tried to get Evie to sell this house years ago.
00:26:18She flat out refused.
00:26:20Have you been able to remember anything else about the other night?
00:26:26Um, I just remember being awakened by Aunt Evie's screams.
00:26:34She was screaming.
00:26:37And then I heard her yell out my name.
00:26:42I grabbed the knife that I keep under my bed.
00:26:45And why would you keep a knife under your bed?
00:26:48For protection.
00:26:50Aunt Evie insisted on it.
00:26:52She had one, too.
00:26:53She was always afraid of someone breaking in.
00:26:58She was afraid of a lot of things.
00:27:01That she was.
00:27:04I ran out into the hallway.
00:27:08Aunt Evie's light was on in her room.
00:27:11It was blinding.
00:27:13I mean, maybe there was a figure.
00:27:17A figure moving in the light.
00:27:21I don't remember.
00:27:23I don't remember.
00:27:48I don't remember.
00:27:50The mask were dispersed.
00:27:52The screaming stopped.
00:27:55That was Carol.
00:27:56I know that was Carol.
00:27:58What did they do to her?
00:28:01Keep it down, Miss Thomas.
00:28:03They'll hear you.
00:28:04Some of them.
00:28:07Some of them were eating flesh.
00:28:10Must have been those new drugs Dr. Price began to administer yesterday.
00:28:14It's only a matter of time before they find us.
00:28:18When they do, they're going to pull us apart.
00:28:21Dr. Raglan tried to place his hand over the frightened woman's mouth, but she moved away, knocking over a shelf
00:28:27of supplies.
00:28:31The blood-crazed patients heard the loud crash and began to make their way towards the base.
00:28:38I just knows where the keys are.
00:28:49Help me push the shelf against the door.
00:28:52It's our only way to thin them off.
00:28:54It's too late.
00:28:55I can hear the keys.
00:28:57I can smell the death.
00:29:23Hello?
00:29:25Uh, no.
00:29:27Yeah, I'll have to call you back.
00:29:29Okay.
00:29:42Um, I'm really exhausted.
00:29:52Tommy was a rambunctious eight-year-old boy, not unlike other kids his age.
00:29:58Curious, energetic, and not so fond of his little sister, Jill.
00:30:03One cloudy Sunday, he was told by his parents that he could go to the park, but he had to
00:30:08take his sister.
00:30:10Reluctantly, he agreed, but he had no intention of staying with her.
00:30:27Tommy and his best friends, Bud and Ron, walked over to the wooded area of the park, throwing rocks at
00:30:34trees and sword fighting with sticks.
00:30:35Just as Bud was about to stab Ron with a long, leafy branch, Tommy stumbled upon a dead red bird.
00:30:47The bird had been mauled by some animal, a wing had been torn off, and one of its eyes was
00:30:57detached from its head.
00:30:59Tommy poked the eye with a stick.
00:31:01Then he turned to his friends.
00:31:04Hey, which one of you is getting poked with bird-eye juice?
00:31:07Ha ha ha!
00:31:09Tommy spent some time chasing the boys around with a stick, but the allure of the dead bird was too
00:31:15difficult to resist.
00:31:17Before they left, Tommy went back and grabbed the bird's eye.
00:31:23That night, Tommy was sent to bed early as punishment for abandoning his sister at the park, but he didn't
00:31:30mind.
00:31:31He had the bird's eye to keep him occupied.
00:31:34He was fascinated by the small black orb, staring at it in his hand until he fell asleep.
00:31:42That night, he was awakened by a soft, fluttering noise.
00:31:47In the darkness of his room, at the foot of his bed, he could barely make out the silhouette of
00:31:53a small bird.
00:31:55His eyes grew wide at the shadowy figure, but he dared not turn on the light.
00:32:02It can't be! You aren't real!
00:32:05The silhouette moved slowly closer to him on the bed, gently ruffling its feathers again.
00:32:12Then, in the silence, Tommy heard an odd, quiet voice.
00:32:19It was coming from the bird.
00:32:22Tommy, you've been a bad boy.
00:32:27Frozen in fear, Tommy was unable to move, the bird crept closer.
00:32:33You took my eye.
00:32:36Do you know what happens to little children who take things that don't belong to them?
00:32:41Do you know, Tommy?
00:32:45Tommy quickly opened his sticky hand and held it out, offering the stolen eye to the bird.
00:32:50Take it!
00:32:52Oh dear, that's not why I've come to you.
00:32:56I am dead, you see.
00:32:58And I no longer need my eyes.
00:33:02I asked you a question, Tommy.
00:33:05Do you know the answer?
00:33:07Or shall I just show you?
00:33:12Shall I show you?
00:33:14Who?
00:33:16Good boy, good boy, good boy.
00:33:19Good boy, good boy.
00:33:58Good boy, man.
00:34:01I'm sorry.
00:34:02I'm sorry.
00:34:03I didn't mean to scream, but...
00:34:05Did you forget about lunch?
00:34:07I've been waiting out in the parking lot for like 15 minutes.
00:34:10It's lunch, yeah.
00:34:11I completely forgot.
00:34:14What the hell was that?
00:34:15Just an old, old record I digitized.
00:34:1980's hairband.
00:34:21I'm starving.
00:34:23Let's go.
00:34:29So, I don't think I'm gonna go to the spin class tonight, so you don't have to worry about watching
00:34:34Cat.
00:34:34Oh, Nance, don't do that for me.
00:34:36I like watching Cat.
00:34:38I wanna do it.
00:34:40Are you sure?
00:34:42You've got a lot going on.
00:34:43Yes, it would make me happy.
00:34:46Give me something to do.
00:34:47I wanna do it.
00:34:49Okay.
00:34:52So, how are things at home?
00:34:54I mean, it must be a little bit lonely without Evie.
00:34:59She was a handful and everything, but...
00:35:05It's, uh...
00:35:07A little weird.
00:35:09You must be so conflicted.
00:35:11She wasn't the easiest to live with.
00:35:15No.
00:35:18She was lucky to have you.
00:35:21We were both lucky, I guess.
00:35:35Ruth wants to sell the house.
00:35:39Maybe that's not a bad thing.
00:35:41I don't want to sell it, Nance.
00:35:44It was Dad's house.
00:35:45It's my house.
00:35:46The neighborhood has changed, honey.
00:35:48You still don't even know what happened with Evie.
00:35:51Don't the police think she caught someone trying to break in?
00:35:54Oh, God.
00:35:55Did you hear about the old couple who were murdered, like, yesterday?
00:36:00They lived in your neighborhood.
00:36:02The Hewitts.
00:36:03Yeah, they lived a few houses down.
00:36:06What the fuck?
00:36:07Come on, Agatha.
00:36:09Bad things happen all the time, Nance.
00:36:12All around us.
00:36:13There's scary stories in the paper every day.
00:36:15Yeah.
00:36:17Sure.
00:36:18Horror all around.
00:36:20But old people?
00:36:23Murdered.
00:36:24Within walking distance.
00:36:28It's unsettling, Nance.
00:36:32Aren't you afraid to live in that old house all alone?
00:36:37Aren't you frightened?
00:36:44Okay, video zombie.
00:36:46It's time to paint.
00:36:47Aww.
00:36:48Oh, I'll bring it back.
00:36:56Hello?
00:36:57Hello, doll.
00:36:58Hey, Ed.
00:36:59Hang on just a second.
00:37:00Hey, Kat, I gotta take this.
00:37:02Go ahead and start without me.
00:37:03I'll be just a sec.
00:37:16You ready for your big day?
00:37:18As ready as I'll ever be.
00:37:28Okay, I got it.
00:37:29So you said room 310?
00:37:32Yes, ma'am.
00:37:33Home for the next several days.
00:37:39I remember that hospital well.
00:37:47They've added another wing with a 24-hour cafe.
00:37:51Images.
00:37:52What are the signs of Halloween?
00:37:55Aggie, I heard about what happened to that couple down the street.
00:37:59The Hewitts?
00:38:01Yeah, it's very disturbing.
00:38:03Hang on just a sec.
00:38:17What can we bring to a Halloween circle?
00:38:25Sorry about that.
00:38:27I want you to consider staying with us for a while.
00:38:31Uh...
00:38:32I know you're both worried about me, but I...
00:38:35I can't do that.
00:38:36Witch with a broom she can fly on.
00:38:38She'll cast a spell as she flies to the sky.
00:38:42Let's add a witch to our list of mischief.
00:38:45A witch on a broom.
00:38:47On a gloom.
00:38:48We need to be smart about this.
00:38:51If you're determined to stay there, we need to get you a gun.
00:38:55Uh...
00:38:56Okay, Ed.
00:38:56We'll talk about this later.
00:38:58I gotta let you go.
00:38:59Okay.
00:39:04I'll bring a ghost to a moon and boo-hoo.
00:39:07My ghost is sad cause he's afraid of the dark.
00:39:11Let's add a ghost who's in need of cheering.
00:39:13Cat?
00:39:14We'll coax a smile with our holiday lark.
00:39:22Jam is next in our Halloween ring.
00:39:25Tell us, Sarah. What will you bring?
00:39:31I'll bring a cat who is mad at the moon. Fluffy with fur that is black as night.
00:39:37Oh, pity a kitty crossed with the moon.
00:39:40His hiss and yowl sure to give you a fright.
00:39:48Let's join hands in our Halloween circle.
00:39:51We'll conjure all that is spooky and fun.
00:39:54Let's join hands in our Halloween circle.
00:39:57A body dismembered and cooked by the sun.
00:40:22A cat?
00:40:25A cat?
00:40:41Okay, great.
00:40:42All right.
00:40:47It's biting feet.
00:40:55I don't want to get the future of Halloween circle.
00:40:55And this is to mental fog where they'll be able to leave.
00:41:05hello hey hey can you talk uh yeah it's fine no company tonight no that sounds lonely

00:41:23take
00:41:23you back to my place we could order some dinner sounds good excellent i'll be over in half an hour
00:42:17anna had returned from her trip a day early
00:42:20the long dark drive back from the airport giving her time to prepare for her husband's always
00:42:27unpredictable reaction she had hoped that by arriving at such a late hour he would already
00:42:33be passed out from drinking sparing her from another angry tirade the house was uncomfortably
00:42:41still as she walked up the dark stairs to the bedroom the dark shape that lay next to her husband
00:42:48caught her by surprise she had seen the figure before but only in her dreams only on nights when
00:42:56the beatings were bad the figure suddenly sat up and looked at her in the darkness
00:43:03the urge to flee the house was strong but the figure was aware and was too close to anna for
00:43:09her to escape without confrontation but maybe if she hid and stayed quiet as death the dark figure
00:43:18would not find her maybe if she disappeared into the shadows she could escape once the sunlight broke
00:43:25through the windows the dark figure would be forced to find refuge in the thin black cracks within the
00:43:31walls anna ran into the kitchen and hid inside the pantry holding the doorknob tight why would it follow her
00:43:39there she could hear the slight creaking of the wood floor as the figure moved
00:43:45methodically into the kitchen it was there it was aware and it could sense her fear in the moment before
00:43:56the inevitable horror anna released the doorknob she was frozen yet a voice within her began to whisper a voice
00:44:05she had not heard in years the voice of the old fear
00:44:29the voice of the old fear had returned but now anna was using it to defend herself from the figure
00:44:36was it too late or would she live to see the sunlight all anna riddle knew for certain was that
00:44:45old fears rarely fade into the night

00:50:25Hey, doll.
00:50:26What are you doing here?
00:50:27I came to wish you good luck to bring you the last of Mrs. Meston's cake.
00:50:33Well, that's very sweet of you.
00:50:35I'm sure you have much more important things to do than visit your old uncle in the house of pain
00:50:40and suffering.
00:50:41I couldn't let that cake go to waste.
00:50:44What time's the surgery?
00:50:46Late afternoon, I think.
00:50:49Around 3 p.m.
00:50:50I don't know.
00:50:51I don't bother with that stuff.
00:50:52I'll let your aunt do all the scheduling.
00:50:58You okay, Aggie?
00:51:03It's been a little weird since...
00:51:05You miss Evie.
00:51:08This must be really hard for you.
00:51:11You're not alone in this, you know.
00:51:17You know, I think it would really do you some good to get out of that old house.
00:51:22I don't see why I have to move.
00:51:26The house is paid for.
00:51:28It's my home.
00:51:29You and Aunt Ruth don't need the money.
00:51:32It's not about the money, sweetie.
00:51:34More than anything, we're concerned for your safety.
00:51:38I meant what I said last night.
00:51:40When I get out of here, I'm going to loan you my gun.
00:51:44Say, did you ride your bike all the way into the city?
00:51:47No.
00:51:48No, I took a taxi.
00:51:50Why didn't you have Aunt Ruth bring you?
00:51:52I just decided to come this morning.
00:51:54It's fine.
00:51:55You need to get your license.
00:51:58You've got your aunt's old car.
00:52:00It still works great.
00:52:02Things would be so much easier if you could learn to drive.
00:52:05Yeah.
00:52:07Why don't you learn to drive?
00:52:11I...
00:52:17The voices that had called the young boy into the woods had spoken false words.
00:52:21They had led him to the home of the old midwife and coaxed him into slaughtering her and the young
00:52:26maiden who aided her in the work.
00:52:29His quest to kill the witch and rid the town of pestilence was thwarted by the very voices that had
00:52:34driven him to act.
00:52:36But were they the same?
00:52:37Perhaps the witch had influences of her own.
00:52:40The demonic laughter had chased the confused boy out of the cottage and into the stormy black night.
00:52:46The warm blood covering his body quickly washed away by the cold rain.
00:52:51The voices that warned him.
00:52:53The voices that informed him.
00:52:55Were they all of the devil?
00:52:57Had it all been a ruse?
00:52:59Now he would return to the bishop and he would not be able to answer the questions.
00:53:04Though the guilt was so great he was compelled to kill himself.
00:53:08He knew he had to return.
00:53:10The bishop had to know he had failed so that another could be enlisted to vanquish the witch wherever she
00:53:17might be.
00:53:18Two days later the boy, nearly incoherent from his walk, entered the bishop's church.
00:53:25The boy walked up to the seated bishop, whose eyes were weary from witnessing the sickness and death.
00:53:31Do the voices still beckon?
00:53:32The bishop asked.
00:53:34No, Your Grace.
00:53:36Does the witch still walk?
00:53:39I am sad to say she does.
00:53:43Are you still frightened?
00:53:46Yes.
00:53:47Oh God, yes.
00:53:49I am still frightened.
00:53:51God help me, yes.
00:54:19I have been calling all morning.
00:54:22I thought you might want these.
00:54:27It must have been in quite a hurry to leave last night.
00:54:29Did Amy scare you away?
00:54:31You told me you and your wife were separated.
00:54:37We are in the process.
00:54:42Her visit last night was unexpected.
00:54:43Right.
00:54:45We still have a few things to sort out.
00:54:48I heard a different story.
00:54:52Okay, come on.
00:54:53You know, Duncan, I want you to leave.
00:54:54Well, let's talk this through.
00:54:55I said leave.
00:54:56Let's talk this through.
00:54:57Duncan?
00:54:58Duncan?
00:54:59Duncan?
00:55:00Duncan?
00:55:00Duncan?
00:55:01Duncan?
00:55:01Duncan?
00:55:01Duncan?
00:55:02I said leave.
00:55:03The Uninvited.
00:55:07The vampire entered Victoria's family home with an insatiable thirst.
00:55:13But in his haste to feed upon a fragile woman once again, he neglected to wait for an invitation.
00:55:21True to legend, a vampire must be invited inside a home before they can enter.
00:55:27If they come inside without consent, they can be very vulnerable.
00:55:31He attempted to earn Victoria's sympathy by blaming his behavior the previous evening on
00:55:39a genetic disorder.
00:55:40But the young woman knew what he was and fled the room.
00:55:44The vampire, weak but insatiable, walked further into the house, his gait sluggish as the ages-old
00:55:54curse made every step heavy and labored.
00:55:58Lumbering down the hallway, the vampire could smell the pungent odor of her blood.
00:56:05It led him towards a closed door at the end of the hallway.
00:56:09He sluggled.
00:56:11Opened the door.
00:56:12The young woman lunged at him.
00:56:15Victoria charged at the creature who was frozen at the sight of the Christian symbol.
00:56:19Then, with all her energy, she managed to pierce the vampire's chest with the stake barely missing its heart.
00:56:26The stunned creature bolted away from her, crashing through a window and glaring, hissing, angrily into the dark.
00:56:43Hey Nance, I've got a favor to ask you.
00:56:54Okay, we're going to make a right at that parking lot right there.
00:57:22I'm going to make a right at that parking lot right there.
00:57:25Not bad.
00:57:25Not good either, but not bad, considering.
00:57:30Considering I didn't hit anyone or break anything.
00:57:35You did good, kid.
00:57:36I'm really proud of you.
00:57:38This is the perfect place to practice.
00:57:41You have no idea where we are, do you?
00:57:45It's a little familiar.
00:57:47This is where your dad's record store used to be.
00:57:54Oh, it's changed so much, but yeah, yeah, I see it now.
00:58:00I remember walking from school and getting Pop Rocks and a soda at the grocery store, which used to be
00:58:06right there.
00:58:07And then we just spent hours listening to music with dad until it was time to close the store.
00:58:14Your dad, Mr. Black was such a neat guy when he wasn't blitzed out of his mind.
00:58:20He had some bad days.
00:58:23It's Cat.
00:58:24Boy, that was a dumbass idea to get her a cell phone.
00:58:28What's for dinner, Mom?
00:58:31Crackers and soda water.
00:58:37Hey, Nance, um, was Cat okay last night when she got home?
00:58:44She was fine, but Doug was a little upset when he heard about the Hewitts, and he wasn't happy that
00:58:54I dropped her off at your house, what with all the murdering, you know?
00:59:00Understandable.
00:59:00Doug can just wait to get stoned after she goes to bed on Friday.
00:59:04I don't think I'm going to be there much longer anyway.
00:59:07Ruth is fixated on selling the place, it doesn't matter what I have to say about it.
00:59:12Ruth is a great A d***.
00:59:14Yeah, but A d***.
00:59:16All the keys.
00:59:18You know, I don't think your dad would want you living there all by yourself.
00:59:27Actually, I think he would.
00:59:29All a sudden, he's going to open and splash him over there.
00:59:34Oh, God.
00:59:41The wrong thing, Mr. G Carson.
00:59:43Just nervous for you.
00:59:43I don't think your dad might be doing so.
00:59:44Spock it over again.
00:59:45All children.
00:59:54You know what I am from the farmer?
01:00:11Gather round, kiddos, and I'll tell you a real doozy.
01:00:15This story is called
01:00:17That Spooky Old House Down the Street,
01:00:20and it really happened to Meg Carson
01:00:23and her brothers, Jeff and Kip.
01:00:34One chilly fall day, while Meg was sewing a new dress for her high school formal,
01:00:40her brothers ran inside the house in a panic.
01:00:44Meg! Meg!
01:00:46What on earth are you yelling about?
01:00:49Meg, Patches is trapped inside that spooky old house down the street.
01:00:53Are you sure, Kip?
01:00:55Jeff and I both saw him in the second story window.
01:00:59Poor guy was meowing his head off, but no one can hear him.
01:01:04Gosh, how did he get in there?
01:01:06I sure don't know, but we can't just leave him.
01:01:10Well, if he got inside, he can find his way out.
01:01:15Meg, that place is haunted.
01:01:16Ghosts and creeps and other things live there.
01:01:19Everyone knows that.
01:01:21Ha! Silly boy, there's no such thing as ghosts.
01:01:26That's the old Davis place.
01:01:28That sweet old couple used to have a spook house every Halloween.
01:01:32You're too young to remember, but the neighborhood kids loved it.
01:01:36That's the only reason for the creepy reputation.
01:01:40Since Meg was left to watch her brothers while their parents were spending the day in the city, it was
01:01:46up to her to decide what to do.
01:01:49She ended up agreeing to rescuing their beloved cat on one condition.
01:01:56You two will have to do the dishes tonight so I can finish my dress.
01:02:01Gosh, sis. You drive a hard bargain.
01:02:04We'll do it. We can't leave Patches in there alone. Why, he might just die fright.
01:02:10You two and your silly superstitions.
01:02:19Kip found an open window in the back of the house and crawled inside.
01:02:25Then he let his brother and sister in through the back door.
01:02:30Gosh, what a spooky place.
01:02:33How long did you say the house has been vacant?
01:02:36Mrs. Davis died about five years ago.
01:02:39Well, why is all the furniture still here?
01:02:42And what's with all the Halloween decorations?
01:02:45The three kids heard Patches crying upstairs.
01:02:50They walked up, up, up the creaky, spooky steps.
01:02:55And then came to a door with a sign next to it that read,
01:03:01Inside this room rests the body of old Norman.
01:03:07He was poisoned by his children and his body was left to rot.
01:03:11Some say his ghost still haunts this very room.
01:03:16Enter at your own risk.
01:03:20It does seem odd that all their furniture and spook house decorations would still be here.
01:03:26I guess Mrs. Davis must have died around Halloween.
01:03:30Well, I'm dying to know what's in that room.
01:03:34Check, don't you dare open that door.
01:03:37We shouldn't be in here anyway.
01:03:39What does it matter?
01:03:41I'm doing the dishes tonight anyways.
01:03:43I might as well have a bit of fun while we're here.
01:04:09Jeff opened the door where a large bed framed with bed curtains filled the small room.
01:04:15He rushed over to the bed.
01:04:18The room was still accented with aging Halloween decorations.
01:04:23Fallen streamers stuck to walls next to paper witches and jack-o'-lanterns.
01:04:29Patches!
01:04:30Where are you, pal?
01:04:33Patches!
01:04:34Oh, Patches!
01:04:36I'm sure he's upstairs.
01:04:38That's where we saw him earlier.
01:04:40Yep.
01:04:41He's upstairs alright.
01:04:43Okay, fellas.
01:04:45Let's make it quick.
01:04:56It was the old vacant house at the end of the street.
01:04:59The house that no one dared to enter.
01:05:03When the neighborhood kids would approach it, they would whisper,
01:05:06ghost house, before running quickly past.
01:05:11Late at night, some folks would say, they could see a faint light in the attic window.
01:05:18Was it just the eerie glow of an antique mirror catching the light of a streetlight?
01:05:24Perhaps.
01:05:26But perhaps not.
01:05:28It's easy to reason away such simple occurrences.
01:05:32A dim light, a creak in the night.
01:05:36But when Arletty Lawson saw the distinct figure of an old woman staring out the front door one cold and
01:05:43windy full night,
01:05:45reason was lost to the wind.
01:06:03Esther had fled the old gypsy's carriage, barely escaping with her life.
01:06:09As she had stabbed the evil woman in her black heart, she sensed that she was still alive.
01:06:16But how could she be?
01:06:19How?
01:06:20She had plunged the knife deep into her body.
01:06:23But as Esther ran through this sleepy village, she knew intuitively that the cursed old criminal was still alive.
01:06:32It was true.
01:06:35Esther was a sinner.
01:06:37And she could see it.
01:06:40It's in my name, so I have final say in what happens to it.
01:06:44It's our family home.
01:06:46What would Dad and Aunt Evie say?
01:06:49They would want what's best for you.
01:06:52What's best for me?
01:06:54That lovely old couple was murdered just down the street from you.
01:06:58Both bludgeoned with a hammer.
01:07:00And the police suspect that you were being robbed the night that Evie died.
01:07:04That doesn't bother you?
01:07:06I'm not afraid to live there.
01:07:10But you're not living there, Agatha.
01:07:13You're hiding there.
01:07:18It's not your fault, honey.
01:07:21You were raised by a woman who was terrified of the world.
01:07:25When your father died, I should have stepped up, but you and Evie were so close.
01:07:31You?
01:07:33Raise me?
01:07:35That's not in your nature.
01:07:36Evie got me by default. I was either way.
01:07:42You're just like your father.
01:07:45Lazy, ungrateful, and delusional.
01:08:10I found a realtor, and we're proceeding with this next week. You should start looking for somewhere else to live.
01:08:16The gypsy bandits had returned to their caravan when inside the carriage of their matriarch.
01:08:22They were shocked to see her lying on the floor in a pool of blood.
01:08:26There was so much blood that the two men were certain she was dead.
01:08:32But she opened her eyes and grinned.
01:08:36It was.
01:08:39It was.
01:08:40It was.
01:08:40It was the girl.
01:08:42Esther.
01:08:44Be mindful of her.
01:08:46She is the seer.
01:08:50She is the seer, and can hear the voices.
01:08:53You tell her things she is not supposed to know.
01:08:59We must go and get her.
01:09:02We must stop her from removing the curse.
01:09:08The bandits set the bleeding human up, wiping the blood off her face.
01:09:13Remove the blade from my chest.
01:09:16Then quickly rack me up with my parchment and put me on your horse.
01:09:21We will ride to the village and find her together.
01:09:25If we cut out her heart and devour it when it is still filled with blood,
01:09:31we will have the power to see just as she does.
01:09:56We will be able to see just as she is there.
01:09:56That is the same.
01:10:13We will see the people on the side of her face.
01:13:21Can you finish the tale, Cribber Girl?
01:13:24Or are you afraid of what the needle might conjure?
01:14:38the dead reckoning she had searched the old cemetery for a fresh grave throughout the night
01:14:46though the rain made visibility difficult and smoothed over loose soil she was desperate to
01:14:54find a vehicle for her revenge swinging lightly in the storm it was a young male dressed in tattered
01:15:03clothing he appeared to have been recently hanged no doubt from the local clergy who wished to keep
01:15:11sea ground she began saying the incantation demons of anger i call upon you to crawl out from the
01:15:23darkness and commune with your sister in pain receive this vessel i offer unto you and help me
01:15:36rashed and the witch caught a glimpse of a scarred face and misshapen body he would make a fine slave
01:15:45and soon all the people who had wronged her would die horrible painful death
