00:03:30Nothing's gonna happen on a night like this.
00:03:32Drink up, man.
00:03:33No, it is what he wants. Can you not see that?
00:03:36But the storm after...
00:03:37Damn the storm.
00:03:38Come on, Micah.
00:03:41Come on, have a drink with it.
00:03:46Micah!
00:03:51Look.
00:03:58Fret your hands.
00:04:00Until the others to wait.
00:04:01Quick, man!
00:04:01Give it to the front.

00:04:29Good job.
00:04:30It's just to drive up.
00:04:40Come on.
00:05:24Do you believe me now, Micah Smith?
00:05:27Now that you've seen with your own eyes, do you believe me when I tell you that's the home of

00:08:45Garwin.
00:08:46Garwin.
00:08:50Well?
00:08:51Where is she?
00:08:52Who?
00:08:52You know who, the Fitch girl. Do you deny she's here?
00:08:55Certainly not. She visits us frequently.
00:08:58Don't you, Miss Fitch?
00:09:00Don't you?
00:09:04Yes.
00:09:05Of your own free will?
00:09:08Yes.
00:09:10There now, Mr. Wheaton, if you...
00:09:11Just a moment.
00:09:13What's your name, girl?
00:09:14No. Really, this is outrageous.
00:09:16Quiet!
00:09:17Your name, child.
00:09:23You see? He's taken her mind, her soul.
00:09:27The good Lord knows what else just like the others.
00:09:29But what do we do about it?
00:09:30Let him go on with this black magic
00:09:32or send him back to the hell he came from.
00:09:35And listen to me about it!
00:09:37No, not the woman. Leave her be.
00:09:41She's been hexed.
00:09:54Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

00:10:14as surely as the village of Arkham
00:10:17has risen up against me
00:10:19so shall I rise
00:10:21from the dead
00:10:23against the village of Arkham
00:10:25each one of you
00:10:27Ezra Whedon

00:11:13No!
00:11:14No!
00:11:15No!
00:11:16No!
00:11:22Just that end
00:11:26shot
00:11:34And travelers now within that valley, through the red-litten windows, see vast forms that
00:11:41move fantastically to a discordant melody.
00:12:13There you are, careful.
00:12:18Thank you, Mr. Carmody, it was a most enjoyable trip.
00:12:22I...
00:12:27It is an orphan.
00:12:28Get passengers for Arkham.
00:12:30Beg your pardon, sir.
00:12:32Did you say you were going to be staying here long?
00:12:35Why do you ask?
00:12:36Well, Arkham is an evil place.
00:12:38The village is cursed.
00:12:39Mr. Carmody, don't tell us you're superstitious.
00:12:42Not at all.
00:12:43And I'm not a coward either.
00:12:45But you couldn't pay me to spend a night in this place.
00:12:48Why not, Mr. Carmody?
00:12:49Ghosts?
00:12:50Spirits?
00:12:51Well, perhaps.
00:12:53I'm sorry, sir, but we don't happen to believe in the supernatural.
00:12:56And I don't think you do either.
00:12:59Goodbye.
00:13:00Goodbye, sir.
00:13:00Goodbye.
00:13:01Goodbye.
00:13:03And good luck.
00:13:19Well, it looks cursed.
00:13:21I'll give it that.
00:13:23Where are the people?
00:13:24I can't imagine.
00:13:42Look.
00:13:44The Burning Man.
00:13:45Isn't that quaint?
00:13:48Yes.
00:13:49Very quaint.
00:13:51Well, it is.
00:13:53Well, it is.
00:13:53Now where else would you find a tavern with a name like that?
00:14:28Let's let the father and son tell us.
00:14:28We'll try to find a certain house here in town and we thought perhaps you could help us.
00:14:34Whose house is it?
00:14:35Oh, it's...
00:14:37I know that sounds silly but...
00:14:38It belonged to the Kerwin family.
00:14:40We inherited it.
00:14:42Kerwin, you say?
00:14:43Yes, that's right.
00:14:45I don't know of any such house.
00:14:49All right.
00:14:51Thank you, anyway.
00:14:55Just a minute.
00:15:00Why do you want to know about the Kerwin place?
00:15:03Because it belongs to us.
00:15:05Your name is Kerwin?
00:15:07No, our name is Ward.
00:15:09Then?
00:15:10Joseph Kerwin was my great-great-grandfather.
00:15:13Well, can you tell us where the house is?
00:15:15I can, but I won't.
00:15:19That's what I like about you, New Englanders.
00:15:21You're so friendly.
00:15:24Come on, we'll find it out.
00:15:25Mr. Ward, don't go there.
00:15:28It isn't a house, it's a madman's palace, as old as sin.
00:15:31Palace? In America?
00:15:33Brought over stone by stone.
00:15:35Brought over from where?
00:15:37Europe, somewhere. No one knows. No one wants to know.
00:15:39But if you value your lives, don't go there.
00:15:43Why not?
00:15:45What Edgar, Mr. Whedon, means is the place is a ruin.
00:15:49It hasn't been occupied in over a hundred years.
00:15:53Is that what you mean, Mr. Whedon?
00:15:59What a strange man.
00:16:01Yes.
00:16:03He has had a bit, but what he says is right.
00:16:07Mr. Ward, Mrs. Ward, please, do yourself a kindness.
00:16:13Go back to wherever you came from, and forget you ever heard about Arkham.
00:16:18And what do you recommend I do with the deed? Just tear it up?
00:16:22Yes.
00:16:23Just tear up the deed to a palace I've inherited, and forget all about it,
00:16:26without so much as laying eyes on the property.
00:16:28Is that your advice?
00:16:30It's more than advice, Mr. Ward.
00:16:33Oh, come on, man.
00:16:36Mr. Ward.
00:16:41Take the road out of town about a quarter of a mile.
00:16:43At the post road, turn left, past the cemetery.
00:16:46You shouldn't have too much difficulty finding it.
00:16:49Here, I'll show you.
00:17:00There's the Kirwan Palace over there on the cliff.
00:17:06We certainly want to thank you for being so nice, Mr.
00:17:09Willard.
00:17:10I'm a doctor.
00:17:11My office is down the street, in case you need me.
00:17:14I don't think we'll be staying very long, doctor.
00:17:16Oh, you've decided that already?
00:17:18It seems to have been decided for us.
00:17:22Thank you, anyway.
00:17:24Come in.
00:17:50What do you think?
00:17:51It's him writing up the devil himself.
00:17:53Nonsense.
00:17:54And you helped him.
00:17:55As I'd help any stranger.
00:17:56He's no stranger, doctor.
00:17:57Well, let you know it.
00:17:58I don't know anything of the kind, and neither do you.
00:18:00Are you blind?
00:18:01Or did you tell me you've never seen that face before?
00:18:03Well, I'll admit there's a strong resemblance.
00:18:05But that's a matter of heredity, not magic.
00:18:07Call it what you will.
00:18:08One thing is certain.
00:18:10Joseph Kirwan has come back to Arkham.
00:18:14Why did you say that?
00:18:16What?
00:18:16That we wouldn't be staying long.
00:18:18Well, do you want to stay in a town full of fools like that?
00:18:21I don't think Dr. Willard was a fool.
00:18:23All right.
00:18:23So Dr. Willard wasn't a fool.
00:18:36Charles.
00:18:45The poor thing.
00:18:47Yes.
00:18:49Well, let's get this over with.
00:19:22Well, let's get this over with.
00:19:52Well, let's get this over with.
00:19:54Well, let's get this over with.
00:20:24Well, let's get this over.
00:20:58Charles, it's you.
00:21:06It's absolutely fantastic.
00:21:16Do you hear something wrong?
00:21:20Oh, no.
00:21:23No.
00:21:25Let's, uh, see what the rest of this morselium looks like.
00:21:29The kitchen's over there.
00:21:30The kitchen's over there.
00:21:37The kitchen's over there.
00:21:43The kitchen's over there.
00:22:02Oh, my God.
00:22:24Oh, my God.
00:22:31Wait.
00:22:33That doesn't lead anywhere.
00:22:35This way.
00:22:36How would you know that?
00:22:39Just a guess.
00:22:53What?
00:23:39I'll let some light in here.
00:23:48Good evening.
00:23:53Who are you?
00:23:55My name is Simon.
00:23:58What are you doing here?
00:24:00I'm the caretaker.
00:24:02I was preparing your room.
00:24:04In the dark?
00:24:06One becomes accustomed to the darkness here.
00:24:18I'm sorry, Mrs. Ward, if I startled you.
00:24:21But I didn't know you'd be here so soon.
00:24:24Just a minute.
00:24:26How is it you expected us at all?
00:24:29Why, your attorney, Mr. Hutchinson, contacted me.
00:24:32Since then, I've been preparing the palace for your arrival.
00:24:36Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go fetch your bags.
00:24:39No, no, that won't be necessary.
00:24:41We're not staying.
00:24:43But where would you spend the night?
00:24:48After all, Mr. Ward, this is your home.
00:24:54Get the bags.
00:24:57Very well.
00:24:58Dinner will be served at eight, if that's convenient.
00:25:20Charles, you don't really want to spend the night here.
00:25:24No.
00:25:26No, of course not.
00:25:27But the old fellow was right.
00:25:32We have to spend the night someplace.
00:25:35Don't we?
00:25:52Quiet.
00:25:53Quiet, I say.
00:25:56Is it food you want?
00:26:07No!
00:26:10No!
00:26:11No!
00:26:12No!
00:26:14No!
00:26:22No!
00:26:23No!
00:26:25No!
00:26:26No!
00:26:26No!
00:26:26No!
00:26:27No!
00:26:32what's wrong with him tonight not him woman it's it how many times must I tell you
00:26:38it knows that's what's wrong it knows who's come back to Arkham
00:27:01so
00:27:10so
00:27:11so
00:27:11so
00:27:12so
00:28:20Charles, I'm all packed.
00:28:27Charles, you ready?
00:28:37Charles, I've decided to stay.
00:28:39What?
00:28:40Just long enough to fix the place up.
00:28:42With a little work, it could bring a good price.
00:28:44Don't you think?
00:28:47I should imagine.
00:28:48I don't know.
00:28:49I estimate two weeks, perhaps three, to get things started anyway.
00:28:54Do you mind, Dan?
00:28:56No, not exactly.
00:28:59I can't say it pleases me.
00:29:01Well, then you go home.
00:29:04Charles.
00:29:07I'm sorry.
00:29:10It's just that I, well, I, I can't leave now until I find out some things.
00:29:43I'm sorry.
00:29:47I can't say it.
00:29:49I can't say it.
00:30:08I can't say it.
00:30:09I don't know.
00:30:46I don't know.
00:31:27I don't know.
00:31:33I don't know.
00:31:33Nightmarish, yes.
00:31:34But not a nightmare.
00:31:36They're quite real, I'm sorry to say.
00:31:38But what are they, Doctor?
00:31:40Human beings.
00:31:42Very unfortunate human beings.
00:31:45They were born mutated.
00:31:47You see, Mrs. Ward, it requires an extraordinary combination of elements to form a normal person.
00:31:53In their case, the combination was wrong.
00:31:56They were gathered by Whedon, of course, for the purpose of frightening you away.
00:31:59But why, Doctor?
00:32:00Why should we be treated as though we had the plague?
00:32:03Because you do.
00:32:05To these people, at any rate.
00:32:07Understand, Mr. Ward, Arkham is a strange community.
00:32:10You see, it's haunted.
00:32:11Well, not by ghosts, but haunted nonetheless.
00:32:15By fear, by guilt, and by the memory of a particular night.
00:32:22A particular night.
00:32:25But what is this to do with us?
00:32:28Well, you see, 150 years ago, a man named Joseph Kerwin moved to this village and built this palace.
00:32:36His first wife died in childbirth.
00:32:39So he selected the most beautiful woman in the village and took her for his mistress.
00:32:44Unfortunately, she was engaged to marry an Arkhamite named Ezra Whedon.
00:32:48No, thank you.
00:32:49You spoke with his descendant yesterday.
00:32:52Oh, the man at the inn?
00:32:54Yes.
00:32:55Well, according to legend, a number of strange things occurred when Kerwin moved into the village.
00:33:00Terrible noises were heard in the night.
00:33:04Young girls were said to have disappeared from their homes,
00:33:06to be gone until dawn and then reappear with no memory of their whereabouts.
00:33:13Whedon wasted no time in placing the blame directly on this doorstep.
00:33:17He and his coterie of friends claimed that Kerwin was a warlock.
00:33:21Warlock?
00:33:22Yes.
00:33:23One who conjures up the dead.
00:33:25They demanded punishment.
00:33:28And one night, the people of the village marched on this palace,
00:33:32dragged your ancestor into the yard and burned him.
00:33:37Burned him.
00:33:39The burning mayor.
00:33:43Well, that explains the guilt.
00:33:45What about the fear?
00:33:48Kerwin put a curse on the village.
00:33:51He vowed that he'd return.
00:33:53You can see the resemblance yourself.
00:33:57Dr. Willard, I'm sure that every warlock or witch who died in America left a curse.
00:34:02Why should Kerwin's be taken so seriously?
00:34:05Why should it be remembered after all these years?
00:34:08I can't say.
00:34:10He was a strange man.
00:34:12There were terrible rumors about him.
00:34:14Such as?
00:34:16It was thought, Mr. Ward, that he had gained possession of a book called the Necronomicon.
00:34:22Have you heard of it?
00:34:25No.
00:34:26Well, it obviously never existed except in the minds of the superstitious.
00:34:30But they claimed it held enough secrets to give a man absolute power.
00:34:36Of course, every mythology has such a book.
00:34:39But the Necronomicon supposedly contained formulas through which one could communicate with or even summon the elder gods.
00:34:49The dark ones from beyond who had once ruled the world.
00:34:53And now we're merely waiting for an opportunity to regain that control.
00:34:59Thulu.
00:35:00Yogg-Sotho.
00:35:02Dreadful rubbish, I know.
00:35:05Still, the people of Arkham believed it.
00:35:08They claimed that Joseph Kerwin and two other warlocks were trying to open the gates to these dark gods.
00:35:16Open the gates?
00:35:17How?
00:35:19They claimed that Joseph Kerwin was trying to mate those beings with humans.
00:35:24To create a new race through which the gods could regain the control.
00:35:30That's how they explained the mutated births.
00:35:34Unsuccessful experiments passed on from generation to generation.
00:35:38Carried in the blood.
00:35:40What's your explanation, Doctor?
00:35:42I don't have one.
00:35:45I advise you, Mr. Ward, to leave this village.
00:35:48I advise you to flee it as you would from a madman with a knife.
00:35:52Who feels compelled to destroy you before you can destroy him.
00:36:14One of theblowing Next door atjenigen to adopt the drunkenza.
00:36:15There are no ross.
00:36:18I don't have any otherplahts to await it as a madman.

00:39:49I don't know.
00:40:16I don't know.
00:40:21I don't know.
00:40:41I don't know.
00:40:42I don't know.
00:40:58I don't know.
00:41:08I don't know.
00:41:24I don't know.
00:41:28I don't know.

00:43:02Unless we stop him.
00:43:08I don't know.
00:43:09I don't know.
00:43:13I don't know.
00:43:19I don't know.
00:43:39Charles.
00:43:50Charles, where have you been?
00:43:52Out walking.
00:43:53At this time of night?
00:43:54Yes, at this time of night.
00:43:55Must I report my movements to you like a schoolboy?
00:43:58No, of course not.
00:44:00Then mind your own business.
00:44:05Charles, what's happened to you?
00:44:07Nothing whatsoever.
00:44:08No, you've changed.
00:44:11I've never seen you like this.
00:44:17Charles, if you won't go back to Boston, at least let me call Dr. Willett.
00:44:22No.
00:44:24I shall be calling on Dr. Willett personally within the week.
00:44:29Well, now, are you satisfied?
00:44:32Yes.
00:44:33Well, then go back to bed.
00:44:36What will you be doing?
00:44:37That is not your concern.
00:44:39Good night.
00:44:41Good night, Charles.
00:45:01Charles Dexter Ward.
00:45:12Leave me alone.
00:45:15Leave me alone.
00:45:17I will never leave you alone.
00:45:20Your blood is my blood.
00:45:21Your mind is my mind.
00:45:23Your body, my body.
00:45:25It will do you no good to resist me.
00:45:28Your efforts grow weaker every day.
00:45:30No.
00:45:32No.
00:45:33You cannot keep me out, Ward.
00:45:36My will is too strong.
00:45:39Too strong for you, Ward.
00:45:43Too strong for you.
00:45:46Why are you spying on me?
00:45:49I heard voices.
00:45:50Tomorrow you must leave.
00:45:52Now, is that understood?
00:45:53Yes.
00:45:53Now, go to your bed.
00:46:18You lost him?
00:46:20For a time.
00:46:22He has a strong will.
00:46:24Stronger than we thought.
00:46:26But you did well.
00:46:28He has the Kerwin strength.
00:46:41Hester.
00:46:49All right.
00:46:50All right.
00:46:53All right.
00:47:11Mm hmm.
00:47:11Let's go to your Father's mind-in- Abu.
00:47:11Mother's mind-in-
00:48:05Charles?
00:48:08Charles, where are you?
00:48:24Charles, where are you?
00:48:53Charles?
00:48:55Charles.
00:48:57Charles.
00:48:58Charles.
00:49:04Charles.
00:49:21Charles.
00:49:22Charles.
00:49:36Charles.
00:49:38Charles.
00:49:45Charles.
00:49:46Charles.
00:49:54Charles.
00:49:58Charles.
00:50:07Oh.
00:50:27Is that you?
00:50:30Is that you?
00:50:42Charles.
00:50:47Charles.
00:51:00Charles.
00:51:00Charles.
00:51:00Charles.
00:51:00Charles.
00:51:00Charles.
00:51:11Charles.
00:51:11Charles.
00:51:11Charles.
00:51:19Charles.
00:51:19Charles.
00:51:20Charles.
00:51:20Charles.
00:51:20Charles.
00:51:48Charles.
00:51:50Charles.
00:51:50Charles.
00:51:58Charles.
00:52:03Charles.
00:52:13I'm so afraid.
00:52:30Oh, Ann.
00:52:32Ann.
00:52:33Ann.
00:52:58we've got to get out of here before it's too late.
00:53:00Yes, dear.
00:53:01Tomorrow morning.
00:53:03Tomorrow morning.
00:53:05Yes, we will.
00:53:15Mr. Ward.
00:53:16Mr. Ward.
00:53:17Leaving so soon?
00:53:18That's right.
00:53:18Any objections?
00:53:19Well, certainly not, sir, but I...
00:53:21You see, I can make no plans until I know what you want to do with the pallet.
00:53:24We're selling it.
00:53:26Oh, I see.
00:53:27Well, sir, could you issue a check for the week's expenses?
00:53:31All right, how much?
00:53:32I'll get the receipt.
00:53:33No, that won't be necessary.
00:53:34How much?
00:53:34We're in a hurry.
00:53:35It'll only take a moment, sir.
00:53:42You go out to the coach.
00:53:44I'll...
00:53:44I'll join you in a minute.
00:53:56I'll join you in a minute.
00:53:58I'll join you in a minute.
00:53:58I'll join you in a minute.
00:54:02Bye.
00:54:26Bye.
00:54:30Mrs. Ward.
00:54:31Oh, doctor.
00:54:32You almost missed us.
00:54:33We were just leaving.
00:54:34Very wise decision.
00:54:36Particularly under the circumstances.
00:54:38What do you mean?
00:54:38Did something happen?
00:54:40I'm afraid so.
00:54:41In fact, I was on my way to warn you.
00:54:44But it doesn't matter now.
00:54:46Doctor, please, I'd like to know.
00:54:48There was a rather ugly occurrence last night.
00:54:51In Arkham?
00:54:52In the cemetery.
00:54:54The grave was dug up and a body stolen.
00:54:57Nobody knows who did it,
00:54:59but the people, as you might well imagine,
00:55:00are blaming it on your husband.
00:55:02Why?
00:55:04The grave that was opened was that of Hester Tillinghast,
00:55:07Joseph Kerwin's mistress.
00:55:12And they think Charles?
00:55:15Oh, what's wrong with those people?
00:55:17They're stupid to the marrow of their bones.
00:55:22You know who robbed that grave, don't you, doctor?
00:55:25No.
00:55:25They did.
00:55:26They?
00:55:27Whedon and his dirty little friends.
00:55:29Why would they do that?
00:55:31Why?
00:55:32Well, isn't it obvious?
00:55:33To frighten me.
00:55:35To drive me away from my home.
00:55:38It's a possibility.
00:55:40But you don't think I did it, do you, doctor?
00:55:43No.
00:55:45But it's a good thing you're leaving all the same.
00:55:50But I'm not leaving.
00:55:51Charles, you promised.
00:55:53You can go back to that village, doctor.
00:55:56You can go back and tell those people that Charles Dexter Ward has decided to stay.
00:56:05Charles.
00:56:09How long has he been like this?
00:56:13It started the first night.
00:56:17Just for a little while, and then he was himself again.
00:56:21But it kept happening.
00:56:22What kept happening?
00:56:25This, uh, this change.
00:56:30I'm so afraid.
00:56:31I've never seen him like this.
00:56:33Mrs. Ward,
00:56:35I want you to tell me exactly what has happened since your arrival in Arkham.
00:56:41I have him now.
00:56:43Are you sure?
00:56:44Charles Dexter Ward is dead.
00:56:46Then we can begin our work.
00:56:48Not quite yet.
00:56:50There are a few little things I must do first.
00:56:52Oh, Joseph, can't you forget what happened?
00:56:55Forget?
00:56:56Forget that my flesh was burned from my bones while I was yet alive? No.
00:57:02No, this village will pay for its crime just as I vowed.
00:57:05But the work?
00:57:06The work.
00:57:08There can be no work without my knowledge.
00:57:11You've waited 110 years.
00:57:13You can wait a bit longer.
00:57:18I'm not an alienist, Mrs. Ward, but there can be little doubt as to what's happening.
00:57:23Your husband is reacting to the legend of his ancestor.
00:57:26The attitude of the village.
00:57:28The remarkable resemblance between him and the figure in the portrait.
00:57:32The atmosphere of the castle.
00:57:34We're all working together to cause this aberration.
00:57:39Then I...
00:57:40I've got to find a way to help him.
00:57:42You're not going back in there.
00:57:45Yes, what else can I do?
00:57:47Leave him?
00:57:49I would advise him.
00:57:52But then, of course, you can't.
00:57:54No.
00:57:55Promise me one thing, Mrs. Ward.
00:57:58That you'll contact me if things get out of hand.
00:58:01Yes, I will, Doctor.
00:58:22Why have you returned?
00:58:26Because you need me.
00:58:28Perhaps you're right.
00:58:31Come here where I can see you.
00:58:40Do you love me?
00:58:42Yes.
00:58:47Then kiss me.
00:58:50Why do you hesitate?
00:58:53Surely a husband has certain rights.
00:58:56I demand that you kiss me.
00:59:06Oh, what delights we'll share, we two.
00:59:09What tender, intimate delights.
00:59:21Maybe it was a leprechaun.
00:59:24There's nothing to laugh at, Bruno.
00:59:26I say, who the devil would do such a thing?
00:59:29Well, he...
00:59:30He couldn't have lifted it alone.
00:59:33Sure enough.
00:59:34But remember the two that worked with him.
00:59:37He was never caught.
00:59:38Aye.
00:59:40Or maybe it was Dr. Willard who gave him a hand.
00:59:42No.
00:59:43Willard's a fool, all right, but he's one of us.
00:59:45Remember, it was his great-great-grandfather who helped with the burning.
00:59:48And yours that held a torch.
00:59:50And it was yours that did the burning.
00:59:52And don't be forgetting that.
00:59:54Forget it.
00:59:55I'm proud of it.
00:59:57In fact, I've been thinking along the same lines myself.
00:59:59I'll be no part of murdering.
01:00:03Who said murdering?
01:00:06It was me.
01:00:06Did I say murdering?
01:00:07What are you talking about?
01:00:09Self-protection.
01:00:10That's what I'm talking about.
01:00:12A man threatens your life and you have the means to stop him.
01:00:14What do you do?
01:00:15He's done no threatening.
01:00:17Not yet.
01:00:18But he will.
01:00:20First there's some holy business at the cemetery.
01:00:23Next our women will start wandering out late at night.
01:00:26Eyes all glassy, bellies filled with God knows what.
01:00:28Then you'll see.
01:00:29I say this to you, all of you.
01:00:31If we do nothing but sit around and talk about it.
01:00:34Then we deserve whatever we get.
01:00:38Good night to you.
01:01:01Then we're fine.
01:01:03And we're going to leave.
01:01:09It won't hurt.
01:01:14Let's gospin.
01:01:15We'll see you again.
01:01:16Bye.
01:01:16Bye.
01:01:22Bye-bye.
01:01:25Bye-bye.
01:01:26Bye-bye.
01:02:29Get away.
01:02:30Get away, you damn thing.
01:02:31Get away.
01:03:05The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away.
01:03:08Blessed be the name of the Lord.
01:03:11In this veil of tears,
01:03:23we suffer much and sin mightily.
01:03:27Yet we take solace in the promise
01:03:29of thy eternal forgiveness.
01:03:33Amen.
01:03:34Amen.
01:03:35Amen.
01:03:37Amen.
01:03:44I don't know.
01:04:15I don't know.
01:05:01I don't know.
01:05:10Joseph, have you not gorged yourself enough on revenge?
01:05:14You do not know the extent of my appetite, Simon.
01:05:18I will not have my fill of revenge until this village is a graveyard.
01:05:24Till they have felt, as I did, the kiss of fire on their soft bare flesh.
01:05:31All of them.
01:05:34Have patience, my friends.
01:05:38Surely, after all these years, I'm entitled to a few small amusements.
01:05:51Here we go.
01:05:53Here we go.
01:05:58Here we go.
01:06:06Here we go.
01:06:14What do you want?
01:06:17What do I want?
01:06:20Here we go.
01:06:30Here we go.
01:06:39Here we go.
01:06:40Here we go.
01:06:41Here we go.
01:06:43Well, I've been very busy, but I'm back now.
01:06:47We have the whole night before us.
01:06:51Stop it!
01:06:52No!
01:06:54Stop!
01:06:56No!
01:06:57No!
01:07:00You fool!
01:07:04You stupid, weak little fool!
01:07:28Hester.
01:07:30Hester.
01:07:32It is useless.
01:07:36Now.
01:07:38I will try again.
01:07:54Oh, Doctor, thank God you've come.
01:07:57Why? What's happened?
01:07:59I don't know.
01:08:00I don't know something terrible.
01:08:02Well, where is he?
01:08:04I...
01:08:05Look, Mrs. Ward, you must calm yourself.
01:08:07Then you must tell me everything, sparing no detail.
01:08:10Your life and your husband's may depend upon it.
01:08:13Yes, Doctor.
01:08:16Well...
01:08:18Well, we were up in the bedroom a short time ago, and...
01:08:22And then, all of a sudden, he...
01:08:26Doctor, you've got to help me get him out of here.
01:08:29This place is killing him.
01:08:34Joseph Kerwin, he's killing him.
01:08:37Look at him.
01:08:41That filthy, horrible old man. I hate him.
01:08:47I hate him.
01:08:48I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him.
01:08:50I hate him. I hate him.
01:08:50Mrs. Ward.
01:08:57I'm sorry, Doctor.
01:09:00It was a stupid thing to do.
01:09:03Yes, it was.
01:09:05How are you, Doctor?
01:09:08Excellent, thank you.
01:09:10Glad to hear you.
01:09:11Oh, this is a pleasant surprise. What brings you here?
01:09:15Nothing in particular.
01:09:16Oh, just looking in, eh?
01:09:18That's right.
01:09:19Do you mind?
01:09:20Mind?
01:09:22No, on the contrary. I'm delighted.
01:09:24And so is my wife. Aren't you, my dear?
01:09:28Here, a little glass of wine will make you feel better.
01:09:32I don't want it.
01:09:33The doctor and I are going to have a little chat.
01:09:37So, you will just stay here and rest, eh?
01:09:41There you are. Come, Doctor.
01:09:48She sent for you, of course.
01:09:50No, as I was explaining.
01:09:51There's no need to lie, Doctor.
01:09:53In a way, I'm glad I've been terribly upset about her.
01:09:57This house has a strange effect on her.
01:10:01How do you mean?
01:10:02Well, you saw how she acted a moment ago, that sort of thing.
01:10:06Fits of depression, anger, hallucinations.
01:10:10I hoped it would pass, but she gets worse every day.
01:10:14I see.
01:10:16I suppose she told you how...
01:10:19how I've begun to change her.
01:10:21Yes.
01:10:23Pardon the pattern.
01:10:24I scarcely recognize her any more, Doctor.
01:10:27My own wife.
01:10:28What do you want me to do?
01:10:31Take her back to Boston.
01:10:33Get her out of this house.
01:10:36Why don't you?
01:10:38She wouldn't permit it.
01:10:40She fears me.
01:10:42Can't you understand?
01:10:43Yes, I think I can.
01:10:45Then you will help.
01:10:47I shall try.
01:10:51I appreciate it.
01:10:52But remember.
01:10:55Discretion.
01:10:56She mustn't guess that you know the truth.
01:11:02Well, my dear.
01:11:04I have a surprise for you.
01:11:06You won't have to stay in this place any longer.
01:11:10The good doctor is going to take care of you.
01:11:13Doctor Willett.
01:11:14Yes, it's all arranged.
01:11:17He will see you to Boston.
01:11:19Isn't that right?
01:11:20Yes.
01:11:21Doctor, you don't understand.
01:11:23Come along, Mrs. Ward.
01:11:25No.
01:11:25I won't go.
01:11:27Please, Mrs. Ward.
01:11:33All right.
01:11:34You needn't bother to pack, my dear.
01:11:36I'll send you things along.
01:11:40Goodbye, Doctor.
01:11:42Goodbye, my dear.
01:11:44We'll be together again soon.
01:11:49I promise.
01:12:10We'll be together again soon.
01:12:11I promise.
01:12:12What of this woman?
01:12:13We're rid of her.
01:12:14Did you?
01:12:15No, it was not necessary.
01:12:16I convinced the good doctor Willett that she had begun to lose her mind.
01:12:21To imagine strange things.
01:12:24Even that her own husband had turned against her.
01:12:28They'll lock her away.
01:12:29But if Doctor Willett should return.
01:12:31He will learn that Charles Dexter Ward has retired to his New England estate.
01:12:36Well, do you know of any law prohibiting a man from residing on his own property?
01:12:45Now, let us begin again.
01:12:57Omnis potestates tenebrae.
01:13:04Well, you can see what happened to poor Gideon.
01:13:07What are we going to do about it?
01:13:09Let's do something.
01:13:11Let's get up.
01:13:13What's happened?
01:13:14Don't you really know what happened, Mrs. Kerwin?
01:13:17My name is Ward.
01:13:19No, I don't know.
01:13:20We came to see Gideon.
01:13:22Then come and see.
01:13:30There's Gideon.
01:13:31And each and every one of us, unless we do something about it.
01:13:34Just a minute.
01:13:35Do you know how this happened?
01:13:37It didn't just happen, Doctor.
01:13:38It was cause to happen.
01:13:40By whom?
01:13:41Do you know who did it?
01:13:42Aye, and so do you.
01:13:44Who?
01:13:44The man who swore to do it.
01:13:47The man you call Charles Dexter Ward.
01:13:50My husband would never do such a thing.
01:13:52She's lying.
01:13:53They're all in this.
01:13:54Mrs. Ward, you better come along with me.
01:13:58Where are we going?
01:13:59Back to the palace.
01:14:00We've got to get him away from there before these people decide to take matters into their own hands.
01:14:04This is all.
01:14:05Viva't.
01:14:07Viva't.
01:14:09Viva'lt.
01:14:23Viva'lt.
01:14:51Doctor, I'm going with you.
01:14:52Don't be foolish.
01:14:53Wait till I come back.
01:14:54I'm going with you.
01:14:54Then we must hurry.
01:15:00Lucian, you got the ropes?
01:15:01Here.
01:15:02Elijah?
01:15:03Aye.
01:15:04All right, then.
01:15:05Let's be about it.
01:15:07Yay!
01:15:08Mrs. Ward.
01:15:11Did you find him?
01:15:12No.
01:15:13What about Simon?
01:15:14Who?
01:15:15The caretaker.
01:15:16I didn't see anyone.
01:15:18I know Charles is here.
01:15:20Was there any more to the place than we've seen?
01:15:23I don't know.
01:15:25Wait a minute.
01:15:27When you tried to destroy the picture, suddenly he was in the room.
01:15:31Did you see him come in?
01:15:33No.
01:15:34Neither did I.
01:15:35I.
01:15:55And then he told me, well, they're all around.
01:16:05He's always waiting.
01:16:36Ward!
01:16:41Ward!
01:16:42Charles Dexter Ward!
01:16:44Are you down here?
01:17:05?
01:17:06?
01:18:43Don't.
01:18:45It's only a book.
01:18:47It's much more than a book.
01:19:00Oh, my God.
01:19:05What did you see?
01:19:06What a pleasant surprise.
01:19:21Well, now that you've seen all of the palace, Dr. Willett, what do you think of it?
01:19:24It's quite old, you know.
01:19:27Older than you might imagine.
01:19:30Torquemada spent many a happy hour here a few centuries ago.
01:19:35It was old then.
01:19:36Mr. Ward.
01:19:38Well, I'll admit the furnishings do leave something to be desired, but it has a lived-in quality, don't you
01:19:45think?
01:19:47After all, home is where the heart is. Isn't that so, my dear?
01:19:56Ward, listen to me.
01:19:57I'd be happy to, doctor, but my friends grow impatient.
01:20:02Oh, please forgive me.
01:20:05May I present to Miss Hester Tillinghast, Mr. Simon Ord and Mr. Jabez Hutchison.
01:20:09I believe you know. They're my associates.
01:20:12You see, we began a project a few years ago, but unfortunately it was interrupted.
01:20:22And we're most anxious to take it up again.
01:20:26What sort of a project?
01:20:28The most important ever attempted of humans, Dr. Willett.
01:20:32More important than you can ever imagine.
01:20:35Therefore, I fear beyond your understanding.
01:20:39I fear beyond your mind.
01:20:40As a matter of fact, we don't fully understand ourselves.
01:20:45We obey.
01:20:48That is all.
01:20:50We obey.
01:20:55Simon.
01:20:59Come.
01:21:03Come, I said.
01:21:10Come.
01:21:12Jabez.
01:21:13No.
01:21:17Charles.
01:21:20Charles.
01:21:23Charles.
01:21:23Charles.
01:21:23Charles.
01:21:25Charles.
01:21:27Do the moon.
01:21:29Charles.
01:21:33Joseph.
01:21:35Bruce.
01:21:37Black.
01:21:38Charles.
01:21:42Heroine.
01:21:46Peter.
01:21:47Tere moplicatum, abe, abe.
01:21:54Charles!
01:22:01What are you doing to her?
01:22:03Honoring her, Dr. Willis.
01:22:05Honoring her.
01:22:37Charles!
01:22:40Ah!
01:22:42Ah!
01:22:43Ah!
01:22:44Ah!
01:22:45Ah!
01:22:46Ah!
01:22:52Joseph Kerwin!
01:22:55Joseph Kerwin!
01:23:01Joseph Kerwin!
01:23:04Joseph Kerwin!
01:23:06Let me just smoke him out!
01:23:27Joseph Kerwin!
01:23:28He's gone!
01:23:34Joseph Kerwin!
01:23:39Ed!
01:23:50Ed!
01:23:54Ed!
01:23:55Ed!
01:23:58Poor Ed!
01:24:03Run! Run, Dr. Willard, get her away from here!
01:24:06Get her away from here, Dr. Willard!
01:24:08Take her away! Get her away from here!
01:24:40Quickly, quick! What about Charles? I'll come back for him!
01:24:58Let's go!
01:25:37They're finished. No!
01:26:04Are you all right?
01:26:07Yes. Thanks to you and to my wife.
01:26:11I don't know how I can ever repay you for what you've done, Dr. Willard.
01:26:17But I intend to try.
01:26:20Charles, are you sure you're all right?
01:26:28Perfectly sure, my dear.
01:26:33Perfectly sure.
01:26:39Smile like a ghastly, rapid river.
01:26:42Through the pale door, a hideous throng rush out forever and laugh.
01:26:48But smile no more.
01:26:52Anyness.
01:27:04Welcome home.
01:27:06I love you.
01:27:06I'm the one who comes to mind.
