00:00:05I don't know.
00:00:35Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten
00:00:45lore, while I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, as of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber
00:00:57door.
00:00:58Tis some visitor, I muttered, tapping at my chamber door, only this and nothing more.
00:01:06Ah, distinctly, I remember it was in the bleak December, and each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the
00:01:14floor.
00:01:45Like terrors, never felt before, so that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
00:01:51Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door, some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door.
00:02:00This it is, and nothing more.
00:02:20This it is, and nothing more.
00:02:32Unless you areoublதurton, you're not Heb- לה Silicon Valley and fear whereby the fear at the beginning of tor
00:02:32ﷺ,
00:02:32On another time when they sleep and what they don't ousted,
00:02:43Oh, my God.
00:03:04Let's go.
00:03:36Let's go.
00:04:04Lenore, come back to me, Lenore. Come back to me.
00:04:13Ah!
00:04:17I've brought you your goblet of warm milk, Father.
00:04:21Oh.
00:04:23Yes, thank you, my dear.
00:04:28She's been dead for over two years now, Father.
00:04:32You're young, Estelle.
00:04:35The young do not understand grief.
00:04:37To you, she was only a stepmother.
00:04:39But to me, she was...
00:04:44My life.
00:04:47I'm sorry.
00:04:52Good night.
00:04:53Good night, my dear.
00:05:16Come in.
00:05:23Come in.
00:05:52I don't care.
00:06:11Oh, my God.
00:06:29Well, well, upon my soul.
00:06:36Do you want to come in?
00:06:43I believe it does.
00:06:46Well, then, come up.
00:07:02Who sent you to me?
00:07:08Are you some dark-winged messenger from beyond?
00:07:13Answer me, monster.
00:07:15Tell me truly.
00:07:16Shall I ever hold again that radiant maiden whom the angels call Lenore?
00:07:23How the hell should I know?
00:07:25What am I, a fortune-teller?
00:07:27Oh, I'm chilled to the bones.
00:07:31Why don't you give me some wine?
00:07:34Well, don't just stand there gaping at me.
00:07:38That voice, I...
00:07:40Will you give me some wine?
00:07:43Yes, yes.
00:07:48Here's some nice hot milk.
00:07:51Milk?
00:07:52How vomitable.
00:07:57Surely this is a dream.
00:08:00Hurry up, will you?
00:08:04There you are.
00:08:05What do you expect me to do?
00:08:08Hold it?
00:08:09With what?
00:08:11Oh, never mind.
00:08:16Mmm.
00:08:18I like that.
00:08:20Mmm.
00:08:22Upon my soul.
00:08:24Never mind your soul.
00:08:26Start concentrating on getting me back to my rightful form.
00:08:30Your rightful form.
00:08:32Well, what do you think?
00:08:33I was born this way?
00:08:34Well, I...
00:08:35I have it.
00:08:37You are under an enchantment.
00:08:40Took you long enough to find that out.
00:08:45Let's get to work.
00:08:48Well, go ahead.
00:08:49Do something.
00:08:50But what?
00:08:52Restore me to my rightful form.
00:08:56I just don't know how.
00:08:58Oh, no.
00:09:01Well, you got some dried blood off a bat in the house?
00:09:06I beg your pardon?
00:09:08Bats' blood.
00:09:09Dried or evaporated bats' blood.
00:09:13No.
00:09:15How about some chainlings from a gallows bird?
00:09:19Jellied spiders.
00:09:22Ravage lard.
00:09:24Dead man's hair.
00:09:25No, we don't keep those things in this house.
00:09:29We're vegetarian.
00:09:31And that calls himself a magician.
00:09:34Honestly, this is too much.
00:09:37Just a moment.
00:09:39Yes?
00:09:40Perhaps there are some of those staples down in my father's old laboratory.
00:09:46Well, don't you know?
00:09:47No, I haven't been down there since he died over 20 years ago.
00:09:52Well, let's go and see.
00:09:54I don't care to remain like this for the rest of my life.
00:09:58Oh, these feathers itch.
00:10:02Do you mean to say that these things you requested are going to turn you back into what were you?
00:10:09Never mind.
00:10:10Come on.
00:10:11Let's go.
00:10:52Strange to be down here again after all these years.
00:11:20How much further is it?
00:11:21Just a little way.
00:11:31Now, what is it you need?
00:11:38Dried bat's blood, chainlings from a gallows bird, rabbit's lard, essence of...
00:11:45Slowly, slowly.
00:11:46One thing at a time, please.
00:11:52Now, what is it?
00:11:55Nothing.
00:12:06What's that?
00:12:09Entrails of troubled horse.
00:12:14No, no, put it back.
00:12:25What's that?
00:12:26I can't read it.
00:12:28Well, look inside, then.
00:12:37What is it?
00:12:39I mean, I'd rather not discuss it if you don't mind.
00:12:51You did say, dead man's hair?
00:12:54Yes.
00:12:55That's one of the prime ingredients.
00:12:57No.
00:13:10All right.
00:13:11Let's get on with it.
00:13:20All right, all right.
00:13:22That's enough stirring.
00:13:24Now the tongue of a vulture.
00:13:33Come on, come on, come on.
00:13:35You're the slowest magician I've ever seen.
00:13:37But it's a very difficult recipe.
00:13:43Well, is that all there is of it?
00:13:46You've got the jellied spiders in there.
00:13:48Yes.
00:13:50I have a white reason.
00:13:53Yes.
00:13:54You didn't forget the dead man's hair.
00:13:56No.
00:13:58Well, I should do it, then.
00:13:59Hand it over.
00:14:14You're not going to drink it.
00:14:18What did you think I was going to do?
00:14:20Take a bath in it?
00:14:31That's not so bad.
00:14:44Dr. Craven, Dr. Raven, uh, Dr. Bedlow.
00:14:49Bedlow?
00:14:50Well, don't you remember me?
00:14:52We met at a sorceress convention in London several years ago.
00:14:56Oh, yes.
00:14:57Yes, of course.
00:15:00Well, in any case, everything seems to have gone all right.
00:15:04Yes.
00:15:05Look.
00:15:07Look what you did to me.
00:15:10Look what you did to me.
00:15:12What I did to you.
00:15:17Who else?
00:15:20You made the potion, didn't you?
00:15:22Yes, but it was your recipe.
00:15:24My recipe was right.
00:15:26There just wasn't enough of it.
00:15:28Well, then all I can do is to make some more of it.
00:15:32Well, then go make some more.
00:15:34All right.
00:15:34All right.
00:15:35Let me see now.
00:15:39Jellied spiders.
00:15:40Yes.
00:15:41Here we are.
00:15:42Uh, uh, evaporated bat's blood.
00:15:46Or do you prefer dehydrated?
00:15:49I don't care.
00:15:51What a night.
00:15:53What a night.
00:15:55Oh, dear.
00:15:56Oh, dear.
00:15:56What is it now?
00:15:58Dead man's hair.
00:15:59What about it?
00:16:00We're out of it.
00:16:02Well, go get some more, then.
00:16:04More where?
00:16:05Where?
00:16:05In a graveyard.
00:16:07Where else?
00:16:07Enter a graveyard at this time of night to spoil the dead?
00:16:10No, you would rather see me go through life like this, would you?
00:16:14Oh, no, of course not.
00:16:17Oh, I am sorry.
00:16:20Well, let's go to the graveyard.
00:16:22Oh, that won't be necessary.
00:16:24You see, my father is in the family crypt.
00:16:27And, well, I don't think Papa would mind if I took just a snip or two.
00:16:32In a good cause.
00:16:34Why should he mind?
00:16:36Yes, you're right.
00:16:40Let's be on our way.
00:16:59How did you, uh, come to find yourself in this awkward state?
00:17:05Oh, uh, it's a little embarrassing that you've heard of Dr. Scalabas, of course.
00:17:11How did you do this to you, sir?
00:17:14Scalabas?
00:17:16Heaven help us.
00:17:17Was he the one who did this to you?
00:17:19Who else?
00:17:22Well, how did it come about?
00:17:24Well, I invited myself to his castle for dinner.
00:17:28Of course, as a member of the Brotherhood of Magicians and Sorcerers.
00:17:31And Scalabas is the Grand Master.
00:17:34You have heard of the Brotherhood?
00:17:35Oh, yes.
00:17:38Yes, my father was its Grand Master for 27 years, with Scalabas a rival for his power every moment of
00:17:47the time.
00:17:48I didn't know that.
00:17:50Yes, it's precisely because of the painful memories of those years that, well, that I never saw fit to join
00:17:58the Brotherhood.
00:18:00Tell me, if, if your father was Grand Master, then, then by direct line of ascension, you could claim the
00:18:07Mastership for yourself.
00:18:08Oh, no, heaven forbid, no.
00:18:11No, I prefer to practice my magic quietly at home.
00:18:16But you were telling me how it happened.
00:18:20Oh, it was the result of too much wine.
00:18:23I became abusive, and then I became critical of his abilities.
00:18:29Yes.
00:18:29And then I challenged him to a duel.
00:18:32Of magic?
00:18:34Well, the whole thing was completely unfair.
00:18:37I was just getting my magic equipment ready, and then all he did was a few gestures in the air
00:18:42with his hands.
00:18:43You mean he only used his hands?
00:18:48Yes, what of it?
00:18:49Oh, then his skill is far greater than I ever had dreamed of.
00:18:54Far greater?
00:18:55He was cheating.
00:18:56Oh, no.
00:18:57No, Dr. Bedlow.
00:18:58The magic by gesture of the hands is the most advanced sorcerer.
00:19:03Oh, I don't agree with you at all.
00:19:05I can't agree.
00:19:06If I would have been sober, which I admit doesn't happen very often, but it would have been an entirely
00:19:12different story.
00:19:14Entirely different.
00:19:15And I'll get my revenge on him yet.
00:19:18You'll see.
00:19:18With all my heart, sir, I tell you, do not go back there.
00:19:38A hard place to keep clean, huh?
00:19:41Yes, I very seldom get down here.
00:19:44Oh, God.
00:20:08Oh, I'm sorry.
00:20:11Thank you, Peggy.
00:20:28Forgive me, Pop.
00:20:52Be well.
00:20:57What did he say?
00:20:59I'm sorry.
00:21:00I'm sorry.
00:21:01He... he told me to... to beware.
00:21:06Of what?
00:21:07I don't know.
00:21:09I suggest we'd better leave here, huh?
00:21:11Yes.
00:21:14Don't forget my hair.
00:21:18Come on, hurry up!
00:21:31Beware.
00:21:42A little unexpected what happened down there.
00:21:45Yes, it was most unexpected.
00:21:48I... I just don't understand.
00:21:50Why should my father return from the dead and then tell me to beware?
00:21:54Of what?
00:21:55I wish I'd knew.
00:21:57I... I... I wish I'd knew.
00:22:00Yes.
00:22:02That milk.
00:22:04Oh, I am sorry.
00:22:06In any case, I have to return to the castle of Dr. Scarabus tonight.
00:22:11Oh, no.
00:22:11Sir, please, I beg you, I implore you, do not go back there.
00:22:15But he has confiscated all my magical equipment.
00:22:19And I want revenge.
00:22:20But he is too powerful.
00:22:21Then come with me.
00:22:23No.
00:22:24No, I want nothing to do with him. Nothing at all.
00:22:30No.
00:22:34What's the picture of that woman doing here?
00:22:37That woman?
00:22:40That woman, sir, was my wife.
00:22:44Left you, huh?
00:22:46Certainly not.
00:22:49Then what was she doing with Dr. Scarabus?
00:22:53What?
00:22:54But that's impossible, sir.
00:22:56She...
00:22:57She's been dead for over two years.
00:23:00I saw her there.
00:23:02When?
00:23:03This evening.
00:23:05No.
00:23:07Oh, no.
00:23:08Oh.
00:23:25I keep her here.
00:23:27From where else?
00:23:29May I have?
00:23:30Oh, thank you.
00:23:46She's so good, sir.
00:23:47I'm not the girl, but, oh, I was the girl.
00:23:49Oh, my God!
00:23:54I'm not the girl.
00:23:54There was a girl.
00:23:54Oh, you're her!
00:23:55I'm not the girl.
00:23:56What did you do?
00:23:56You were the girl, Mara, why did you do?
00:23:58I'm the girl, I'm the girl.
00:24:09But I, I swear I saw her there this evening.
00:24:13No, no, you saw someone else.
00:24:16It was her.
00:24:17No, that's not possible.
00:24:21Unless.
00:24:23Unless what?
00:24:25Unless Scarabus has gained control of her spirit.
00:24:29But why?
00:24:30To take his revenge on the House of Craven.
00:24:34No.
00:24:36This profanation must be ended.
00:24:39But then you're coming with me?
00:24:41Yes, I must go with you.
00:24:43For the sake of Lenore's tormented soul.
00:24:47And don't forget my magical equipment.
00:24:50No.
00:25:01You rang, sir?
00:25:03Yes, Grimes.
00:25:04Prepare the coach for immediate departure.
00:25:06Yes, sir.
00:25:06And you're going to need something to protect you from the cold.
00:25:09No, I meant clothes.
00:25:11Oh.
00:25:18Here.
00:25:23Here.
00:25:24I, this one.
00:25:25No, I, I despise black.
00:25:27Later.
00:25:27Oh, yes.
00:25:28I'm sorry.
00:25:29Well, what, what about this red one here?
00:25:32Well, it's a, a little gaudy, but I like that.
00:25:36All right.
00:25:37It's beautiful.
00:25:42It's, it's a little long, isn't it?
00:25:44Yes, I, I'm sorry.
00:25:48Here, let's, uh, try this.
00:25:52Yes, that's nice.
00:25:56The sleeves are a little long, but...
00:25:58Yes, but I can hold them.
00:26:00It'll keep you warm.
00:26:01Yes.
00:26:04That's nice.
00:26:06Oh, look at that.
00:26:07Yes, you are.
00:26:16You really should wear a hat.
00:26:18Oh, thank you.
00:26:19That's very considerable.
00:26:21Yes.
00:26:21But I can't see through that.
00:26:23That's no...
00:26:23That's meant to be a scarf, don't you?
00:26:25You see?
00:26:25Oh, there.
00:26:26But I don't want to be, I don't want to be choked to this.
00:26:30Oh, Ed.
00:26:31I'm sorry.
00:26:32Here, try this one.
00:26:33Hmm?
00:26:34I don't like the material.
00:26:35Well, then this.
00:26:37That's nice.
00:26:38That, that matches the screen.
00:26:40Yes.
00:26:41A little too large, isn't it?
00:26:43Yes, yes.
00:26:44Here, try this one.
00:26:45Well, really, anything we do, that's fine.
00:26:49Father?
00:26:49Oh, yes, my dear.
00:26:51You're going out at this hour?
00:26:53Yes, I am, my dear.
00:26:55Doctor.
00:26:56Oh, uh, Doctor Bedlow, this is my daughter, Estelle.
00:26:59Doctor Bedlow.
00:27:01Enchanté, monsieur.
00:27:02Where are you going, Father?
00:27:03Well, I can't tell you, Estelle.
00:27:04It's something dangerous, isn't it?
00:27:06Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:27:09Shall we go, Doctor?
00:27:09I'm going with you.
00:27:10No, you most certainly are not.
00:27:12But, Father...
00:27:12Don't worry, my dear.
00:27:13Nothing too bad is going to happen.
00:27:14Just trust me.
00:27:18Doctor.
00:27:20Father!
00:27:25Father!
00:27:28All right, come on.
00:28:01Mother! Mother, wake up!
00:28:05Don't leave us!
00:28:06It's every man for himself!
00:28:15Erasmus, wake up!
00:28:16Wake up!
00:28:17Why aren't you doing something?
00:28:19Why don't you do something?
00:28:20Without my cri...
00:28:25Shh, I can't do something...
00:28:32Oh no...
00:28:40Oh no...
00:28:43Oh no...
00:28:47Oh no...
00:29:03No, no.
00:29:04No, no.
00:29:05No, no, no, no.
00:29:07No, no, no, no.
00:29:25Are you all right, my dear?
00:29:27Father!
00:29:28Oh.
00:29:28Tell me, how, how did you do that?
00:29:31That?
00:29:31Oh, it was nothing worthy of note.
00:29:33What do you mean, nothing worthy?
00:29:35It was the most spectacular thing I've ever seen.
00:29:39Oh, thank you.
00:29:41No, Dr. Bedlow.
00:29:43What happened?
00:29:45What do you mean, what happened, you, you maniac, you idiot?
00:29:48No, what did happen, Grimes?
00:29:51I was on my way to the stable.
00:29:52How did I get in here?
00:29:54You don't remember coming in here?
00:29:55The last thing I remember was something burning at my head.
00:30:00Burning?
00:30:01Burning.
00:30:02Never mind, Grimes, it's not important.
00:30:04You go and prepare the carriage.
00:30:06What do you mean, it's not important?
00:30:08He almost killed us all.
00:30:09That will be all, Grimes.
00:30:11Yes, sir.
00:30:13You're letting him go?
00:30:15But can't you see he has no idea of what happened?
00:30:18Clearly, he was the victim of some diabolic mind control.
00:30:24Well, that's nonsense.
00:30:27Scarabus?
00:30:29Scarabus?
00:30:29Yes, my dear.
00:30:31Yes, it is to his castle that I must go.
00:30:34I am going with you, then.
00:30:36But she can't help us.
00:30:38But what other choice do I have?
00:30:40What if Scarabus should attack again?
00:30:42Well, I...
00:30:44I'd better get something, too, because...
00:30:47I don't want to catch a cold.
00:30:55Hold this for me.
00:30:59Oh, this is my son, Rexford.
00:31:01This is Dr. Craven, and that's his daughter, what you name?
00:31:04Estelle.
00:31:05Oh, mademoiselle Estelle.
00:31:09Enchanté, ma chère.
00:31:11Doesn't he speak beautiful French here?
00:31:13Now get out of here.
00:31:15But, Father, I've been looking for you.
00:31:17That's all right.
00:31:18But leave now, because we are in a hurry.
00:31:20What about mother?
00:31:21What about her?
00:31:22Well, she wants you home.
00:31:24Why?
00:31:25I don't know, but she gave me strict, strict instructions...
00:31:29that once I found you, not to let you out of my sight.
00:31:32Don't do that, Rexford.
00:31:33Dr. Bedlow, we must be on our way now.
00:31:35Yes, we are in a hurry.
00:31:37If you do that once more, I'll smash you one right in the face.
00:31:40Dr. Bedlow, please.
00:31:41He's my son.
00:31:42Yes, I know, but we must go.
00:31:44Then I must go with you.
00:31:45Yes, certainly, certainly.
00:31:47Maybe, maybe you want to bring your friends with you.
00:31:49Maybe you want to have a family outing, huh?
00:31:52Bring your own mother.
00:31:53I'm sure Dr. Scarabus would be delighted to have your mother.
00:31:56Dr. Scarabus?
00:31:57Yes, that's where we're going, young sir.
00:32:00Hey, you're not going to let him drive?
00:32:02Well, I don't like to, but if he doesn't, who will?
00:32:04I'd be glad to drive, sir.
00:32:05Well, that's very nice of you, young man.
00:32:08Yeah, Grimes, you can stay here.
00:32:10Yes, sir.
00:32:10Estelle.
00:32:12Father, may I ride up there?
00:32:14You know how ill it makes me to sit inside.
00:32:18Well, yes, yes, of course.
00:32:24Good-bye, sir.
00:32:28That's a fine boy you have.
00:32:31Yeah.
00:32:32Does he favor his mother?
00:32:34She favors him.
00:32:36Oh.
00:32:47I'm trying to drive, sir.
00:32:49Idiot!
00:33:01What was that about your coachman before?
00:33:04Oh, well, when he went out to the stable to prepare the coach, something happened to him.
00:33:10Father said that he was obviously the victim of some diabolical mind control.
00:33:17Whatever it was, the look on his face was hideous.
00:33:21His eyes glittering like those of a maniac.
00:33:24His lips drawn back and his teeth clenched tight.
00:33:27His breath harsh and rapid.
00:33:38Don't you think we'd better go a little slow?
00:33:44Father!
00:33:45Father!
00:33:46Well, I know.
00:33:58Now what is this idiot doing?
00:34:00Now what is this idiot doing?
00:34:04Hey, what's the matter with you?
00:34:07Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:34:07I'm talking to your ex-husband.
00:34:13He looks as crazy as your coachman did.
00:34:16What?
00:34:24Why don't you do something?
00:34:26Some magic or something?
00:34:28And leave the coach without a driver?
00:34:30Oh.
00:34:47Come get him!
00:34:52Come get him!
00:34:55Come get him!
00:34:59Whoa!
00:35:01Whoa!
00:35:02Whoa!
00:35:04Whoa!
00:35:05Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
00:35:15Are you all right?
00:35:23There it is.
00:35:26Shouldn't we better go in there alone?
00:35:29Well, to what avail, sir?
00:35:32Obviously, Scarabus' powers of magic are not confined within the walls of his castle.
00:35:38That's right.
00:36:18You never wanna get caught up.
00:36:19Señor, call me.
00:36:19I'm going to throw asized hole.
00:36:19I'm going to get up here today.
00:36:20Oh, wait a minute.
00:36:20You never want to die down here.
00:36:20I don't want to die in here.
00:36:26You never want to die.
00:36:30You never want to die or die.
00:36:33Oh, my God.
00:37:01Why don't you go in?
00:37:03The... the... the... the expert.
00:37:05You go ahead.
00:37:26There's no one here.
00:37:42You do something!
00:37:44Let's get out of here.
00:37:46No.
00:37:47No, we haven't come this far to retreat at the first obstacle.
00:37:56Dr. Scarabus?
00:37:58Scarabus?
00:37:59Scarabus?
00:37:59Scarabus?
00:38:00Scarabus?
00:38:00Scarabus?
00:38:02Dr. Scarabus?
00:38:46Scarabus?
00:38:47Cozy little place, huh?
00:38:58I'm afraid.
00:38:59Father, I...
00:39:07Afraid, my dear?
00:39:10There's nothing to be afraid of.
00:39:24I bid you welcome.
00:39:26One and all.
00:39:28You are Dr. Craven, are you, brother?
00:39:32How happy I am to meet you after all these years.
00:39:36The son of Roderick Craven in my home at last.
00:39:40Your father and I were great friends, you know.
00:39:44Friends?
00:39:44Yes.
00:39:44But...
00:39:45But...
00:39:45But who is this delightful creature?
00:39:48Well...
00:39:48No, no, no.
00:39:49Tell me nothing.
00:39:50Of course I can see.
00:39:52The lineage is clear.
00:39:55She is your daughter.
00:39:57She is your daughter, Estelle, is she not?
00:39:58Yes.
00:39:59Thrice welcome to the home of Dr. Scarabus, my child.
00:40:03How enchanting you are.
00:40:05And this fine young fellow.
00:40:08Surely not your son, dear doctor.
00:40:10I am Dr. Bedloe's son.
00:40:13I am sorry.
00:40:15Yes.
00:40:17The resemblance is quite uncanny.
00:40:21But...
00:40:21But what happy circumstance brings you to my home, dear doctor?
00:40:26The spirit of my late wife.
00:40:29Spirit, sir?
00:40:31Late wife?
00:40:33I am afraid I do not understand you.
00:40:36Dr. Bedloe has informed me that...
00:40:38Very discreetly.
00:40:40That he saw my wife, Lenore, within these walls.
00:40:45Is it true, sir?
00:40:46Have you her soul in bondage?
00:40:51Dr. Craven.
00:40:53I am shocked.
00:40:55Truly shocked that you should have such an appalling thought about me.
00:41:00You have wounded me to the heart.
00:41:04But if it is not true, then why did you try to prevent our arrival?
00:41:09I did not try to prevent your arrival.
00:41:12But, sir, we saw...
00:41:14What are you doing?
00:41:24Summoning thought of the truth.
00:41:32Lenore.
00:41:35Lenore.
00:41:36Lenore.
00:41:38You rang, sir?
00:41:42That's not my...
00:41:44There is your spirit, sir.
00:41:47You may go.
00:41:52My apologies, Dr. Scarabus, for having wronged you.
00:41:55Oh, how can I express my sorrow with this gross misunderstanding?
00:42:00But, pray, sir, join me at the table.
00:42:03A little food and wine and conversation.
00:42:06Let us not part on such a somber note.
00:42:10You will make this kindly gesture for an old man's sake?
00:42:15Yes, yes, of course, yes.
00:42:17Oh, my gratitude knows no bounds.
00:42:24Mmm, mmm, mmm!
00:42:26Dr. Bedlow, young sir.
00:42:29On my right, Dr. Craven, if you will.
00:42:31Your lovely daughter next to you.
00:42:34Dr. Bedlow, on my left, if you please.
00:42:38All right.
00:42:40If you don't think I...
00:42:42I have forgotten what happened earlier this evening.
00:42:46But, sir, I hoped you had forgotten.
00:42:49That you turned me into a raven?
00:42:52A raven?
00:42:53But, sir, you tried to kill me.
00:42:57So what?
00:42:58Well, under the circumstances, I feel I behaved with great leniency.
00:43:02I knew that presently you would find some way to restore yourself,
00:43:07and lo, you have, and all is well again.
00:43:10And you didn't try to stop us from coming here, huh?
00:43:12Have I not yet convinced you of my sincerity?
00:43:17Come, eat, drink.
00:43:18Let me enjoy one full hour of fine conviviality
00:43:22with the son of my old friend.
00:43:25I'm sorry, sir.
00:43:27But my father never gave me the impression
00:43:30that you and he were anything but mortal enemies.
00:43:33Oh, doctor.
00:43:36Competitors, yes.
00:43:38Contestants, if you like, but enemies?
00:43:40No.
00:43:41I admired him more than any other man.
00:43:45Oh, I... I see.
00:43:48And yet it...
00:43:49Well, it always appeared that...
00:43:52Ah, appeared, dear doctor.
00:43:55You and I of the occult dedication
00:43:58know only too well the deceptiveness of what...
00:44:01appears to be.
00:44:05Yes, that is true.
00:44:07That is quite true.
00:44:08But tell me now.
00:44:10Tell me something of your miraculous hand manipulations
00:44:13of which I've heard such wondrous accounts and yet have never witnessed.
00:44:17Ah, but I have already seen that you too possess the...
00:44:21the gift of magic by gesture.
00:44:24Oh, I have my humble means.
00:44:32Humble.
00:44:33Humble, he calls it.
00:44:35Turning people into birds.
00:44:37Are you still talking about that?
00:44:39The incident is closed.
00:44:41It is not.
00:44:43Where is my bag of magic equipment?
00:44:46In a safe place.
00:44:47Give it back to me.
00:44:49Gladly, doctor, if you will but give me your promise not to...
00:44:52I promise nothing.
00:44:54I challenge you.
00:44:56Again?
00:44:58Dr. Bedlow.
00:45:00Shut your mouth!
00:45:05I know you.
00:45:07You're afraid to face me when I'm sober, huh?
00:45:11Are you sober?
00:45:13Sober enough to make a fool of you, you cheap faker, you?
00:45:19Father.
00:45:20Dr. Bedlow.
00:45:21That I did not hear.
00:45:23We will proceed with our present conversation.
00:45:26Yes, you are afraid, you miserable coward.
00:45:30Father, in the name of...
00:45:31Shut your mouth!
00:45:34Yes, afraid.
00:45:36Afraid of an honest duel in magic.
00:45:40You pitiful old goat.
00:45:42Enough, sir.
00:45:43Enough, sir.
00:45:46What am I to do?
00:45:47Well, can't you decide for yourself?
00:45:55Proceed.
00:45:57Now.
00:45:58Now we shall see who...
00:46:00Who is the master of all medicines?
00:46:06Can you not stop him?
00:46:08I will do what I can, sir, but...
00:46:10As you see, he seems bent upon revenge.
00:46:15Now!
00:46:16Father, you mustn't do this.
00:46:18Who are you to talk to me like that?
00:46:20Father, you are in no condition.
00:46:22Get back to the table!
00:46:24Father, suppose he turns you into a rival.
00:46:26That's none of your business!
00:46:30Now.
00:46:33Fini...
00:46:35Vidi...
00:46:36Vici!
00:46:48Vici!
00:46:49What if I've heard of you?
00:46:50Are you defending yourself, you coward!
00:46:52All right...
00:46:54Take this!
00:46:55Give him more to his...
00:46:57Littlewe see you!
00:47:00Ow!
00:47:03Oh, you...
00:47:05You dirty old man!
00:47:10All right. I'll give you my Promethean magic.
00:47:15In that, I am unexcelled.
00:47:22Be easy, Arnie. Oh, I'll do my very best.
00:47:38Cetrum cencio, Carthaginem esse dilendam.
00:48:10Carthaginem!
00:48:17Carthaginem!
00:48:54Carthaginem!
00:48:55Si, vis parsem, arabenum!
00:49:07Ah!
00:49:11Oh, dear.
00:49:13He really shouldn't have tried for that particular experiment.
00:49:17It requires such enormous concentration.
00:49:37Oh, dear.
00:49:41Raspberry jam.
00:49:43Oh!
00:49:45If I might suggest, I think perhaps your daughter should lie down and rest a while, dear Doctor.
00:49:50The shock of all this.
00:49:52We must leave now, Father.
00:49:54Leave? Oh, no. The storm is much too violent.
00:49:58Wait till morning, dear child, then leave.
00:50:02Refresh.
00:50:07Good night, Estelle.
00:50:09Keep your door locked.
00:50:11I will.
00:50:13Good night, Father.
00:50:14Good night.
00:50:49Good night.
00:51:01Uh!
00:51:07I was afraid you'd scream.
00:51:11Is anything wrong?
00:51:13Don't be alarmed.
00:51:14But I'm afraid Dr. Scarabus killed my father.
00:51:17Killed him?
00:51:19Yes, during the dueling, I observed Dr. Scarabus making furtive gestures with his fingers.
00:51:24And we must speak to your father.
00:51:26But I already have. He trusts Dr. Scarabus.
00:51:29We'll have to try it.
00:51:43It's locked.
00:51:44What'll we do?
00:51:52What are you doing?
00:51:55The sledge leads to your father's room.
00:51:57But you might be killed.
00:52:00I hope not.
00:52:34I hope you're a little
00:53:04Come on.
00:53:24I don't know.
00:53:51Leonore?
00:54:15I wish you would rather have a good fortune.
00:54:15Melonor!
00:54:18Melonor!
00:54:27Did you have to make the weather so cold?
00:54:30Did you have to see him?
00:54:31Well, I was curious.
00:54:33I wanted to have a look at him as long as he was here.
00:54:36As long as you couldn't kill him on the way.
00:54:38Well, how was I to know that you wanted Erasmus here?
00:54:40You never tell me anything.
00:54:42Besides, I thought he might find out about me.
00:54:45Make an unpleasant scene.
00:54:46Would you undo me, please?
00:54:51Ooh, your hands are so cold.
00:54:55I'm always fascinated by your utter lack of scruple.
00:55:00Well, you knew what you were getting.
00:55:02Did I ever pretend that I came here because of your charm?
00:55:06I came here because of your wealth and your power.
00:55:10And in return, I gave you my company.
00:55:15And if you insist on anything more, you will only succeed in boring me.
00:55:20Whereupon I shall leave you as I left Erasmus.
00:55:23Well, how, my darling treasure?
00:55:25By making me think that you have died?
00:55:28Hardly.
00:55:30Well, tell me, my precious viper.
00:55:34How did you know that he was coming here since, as you pointed out so petulantly, I never tell you
00:55:41anything.
00:55:42But I didn't at first.
00:55:44I only guessed.
00:55:46After you turned that dismal little fat man into a blackbird.
00:55:50A raven, my love.
00:55:52Whatever.
00:55:53I knew he wouldn't go for help to a magician who was in the brotherhood.
00:55:58Of course.
00:56:01And that left only Dr. Craven.
00:56:06How deftly nimble is your mind.
00:56:10Why were you so sure the beddler would see a portrait of me in Erasmus' house?
00:56:15If you wanted Erasmus here?
00:56:17Wasn't it a rather far-fetched way of bringing him here?
00:56:20After more than two years with me, dear Lenore, do you still think I make my plans in a far
00:56:27-fetched way?
00:56:28Can I leave anything to Charles?
00:56:30What do you mean?
00:56:33Come with me and see.
00:57:09Hey.
00:57:18Let's go.
00:57:21And don't check on my chest, you...
00:57:24I bought an armchair, you idiot.
00:57:28Come on, help me.
00:57:30Help me.
00:57:37Don't look at me like that.
00:57:39What am I, a ghost?
00:57:40But I saw you killed.
00:57:41Shh.
00:57:42Can't you speak quietly, you idiot?
00:57:45I just wanted Scarabus to think that I was dead.
00:57:48So I could help if he moved against any of you.
00:57:51He already has.
00:57:53Has what?
00:57:53Just now, I almost killed myself coming from Miss Craven's room.
00:57:57She's locked in.
00:57:58What are you doing in the lady's room?
00:58:02Father, that's beside the point.
00:58:04I decide what's beside the point.
00:58:07All right, I went there to warn her, if you must know.
00:58:09Dr. Scarabus has imprisoned her.
00:58:11Imprisoned her?
00:58:12Then we must get her out.
00:58:14What about her father?
00:58:15Never mind, I take care of her father.
00:58:26Let's hide there.
00:58:29Now, you wait here.
00:58:31And as soon as Scarabus passes,
00:58:33get the girl out of her room and get her out of here.
00:58:35What about you?
00:58:37Never mind me.
00:58:37Do as I tell you.
00:58:39For once in your life.
00:58:46Let's find her out of Herod.
00:58:47My son.
00:58:47I'll lose your hope.
00:58:47What the boy?
00:58:47Let me take care of my life.
00:58:48Let me.
00:58:51I'll have arage.
00:58:55Here you go.
00:58:56I'll be by your wife.な
00:59:06I don't know.
00:59:34I think it's very rude to keep your guests waiting.
00:59:48Thank heaven, you're all right.
00:59:50Quickly, Estelle.
00:59:51Where are we going?
00:59:52Out of here.
00:59:53Without my father?
00:59:54Estelle, we have to leave.
00:59:56Not without my father.
01:00:00You sly old thing, you.
01:00:04And what was his price?
01:00:07Mine, a double value.
01:00:10Superior magical knowledge.
01:00:12And through my death by lightning,
01:00:15freedom from overbearing women.
01:00:19Well worth the cost of being turned into an insignificant bird.
01:00:23To say nothing of luring Dr. Craven to me.
01:00:25Don't forget that, my love.
01:00:27I can't imagine why you want him here.
01:00:30It's not Craven I want.
01:00:33It's his magic.
01:00:39Father, Father, we must leave.
01:00:41Leave?
01:00:42Yes, I've been locked in my room.
01:00:43Rexford had to let me out.
01:00:46What is it, Father?
01:00:48I saw Lenore.
01:00:49Please, my father said we had to go as soon as possible.
01:00:52Your father?
01:00:53Yes, he's still alive.
01:00:54His death was a trick.
01:00:55Now, please, we must go.
01:00:56Very well.
01:01:00Come along, Bedloe.
01:01:01You're wasting time.
01:01:03One moment.
01:01:04One moment.
01:01:05I don't think you quite appreciate what I went through.
01:01:08You should have warned me that feathers are a very inadequate protection for a poor raven
01:01:13in a cold December night.
01:01:15I don't even want to mention the pin feathers.
01:01:18They itch.
01:01:19But you should have warned me about the hawks.
01:01:22Hawks?
01:01:22Yes, the hawks.
01:01:24On my way over to Dr. Craven, I was attacked three times.
01:01:28And then when I got there, I had to discover he didn't even know how to turn me back into
01:01:33a man.
01:01:33A man?
01:01:36If I wouldn't have known a formula myself, I would still be a raven.
01:01:40I liked you better that way.
01:01:48Oh, I must find Dr. Bedloe.
01:01:50But, sir, he told me not to...
01:01:55And to top it all, I'm nearly chopped to pieces by that insane coachman and nearly killed
01:02:00by my own son.
01:02:02Have you quite finished?
01:02:03You have.
01:02:05It's time to separate Dr. Craven from his secrets.
01:02:10Are we going to have some torture?
01:02:11That won't be necessary.
01:02:12I have his daughter.
01:02:15Daughter?
01:02:18That's a, that's a very good idea.
01:02:22You really think so, do you?
01:02:26What are you going to do?
01:02:30Come.
01:02:38I'm going to have a baby.
01:02:40He's.
01:02:48I don't have a baby to have a baby.
01:02:49One day.
01:02:51I don't have to.
01:02:52I don't want to eat.
01:02:52I don't want to eat.
01:02:53I don't want to eat.
01:02:57It's not bad.
01:03:15Congratulations, Dr. Starobus.
01:03:18What are you doing now?
01:03:20Hey, what are you doing with your cheap tricks?
01:03:24Is that how you reward my services to you?
01:03:26You ungrateful ham hound!
01:03:29Fear not.
01:03:31You will receive your just reward.
01:03:47Not quite ready.
01:03:56Can't you get your hands free, Father?
01:03:58I'm afraid not, my dear.
01:04:01But with Dr. Starobus having turned me into a statue and then binding me like this.
01:04:05I know I, I know I'm a disgrace.
01:04:10I had a somewhat stronger word in mind.
01:04:13But son, you know that, that everything I tried in life I was a failure.
01:04:20Only, only the day I joined the Brotherhood of, of magicians.
01:04:25Oh, I, I was the happiest man on earth.
01:04:29I still remember how happy I was.
01:04:32And then when, when Dr. Scarabus offered to teach me superior magical knowledge for alluring Dr. Dr. Craven here, I
01:04:45just couldn't resist that magnificent award.
01:04:50But, Erasmus, believe me, with all my heart I regret what I did to you.
01:04:56You are not alone in guilt, sir.
01:04:59I too have failed at the task of living.
01:05:02Oh, no.
01:05:03Oh, yes.
01:05:04Yes.
01:05:05Instead of facing life, I turned my back on it.
01:05:09I know now why my father resisted Scarabus.
01:05:13Because he knew that one cannot fight evil by hiding from it.
01:05:18Men like Scarabus thrive on the apathy of others.
01:05:21He's thrived on mine and that offends me.
01:05:24By avoiding contact with the Brotherhood, I've given him freedom to commit his atrocities unopposed.
01:05:32You sure have.
01:05:34I'm sorry.
01:05:36Bravo, Erasmus. A splendid dissertation.
01:05:40Lenore.
01:05:43Well, you still look the same.
01:05:47So does the girl.
01:05:49You're alive.
01:05:53Very much alive.
01:05:55If so, I see.
01:05:57That was someone else's body in the casket.
01:05:59I left you for Scarabus.
01:06:02No.
01:06:03What has Scarabus done to you?
01:06:05Are you under a spell?
01:06:08A spell is nothing but greed.
01:06:12Speak to me, Lenore.
01:06:14Speak to me, my beloved.
01:06:16Oh, Erasmus.
01:06:17You're still just as much a bore as ever.
01:06:22Well, now, gentlemen, I think we are ready to begin.
01:06:26I'm not ready.
01:06:27No, you disagree.
01:06:29Dr. Scarabus.
01:06:38I'll do anything you want.
01:06:40Just don't hurt me.
01:06:41Father.
01:06:42Come on, let me go.
01:06:44No.
01:06:44But what about the others?
01:06:46What others?
01:06:46I don't care what you do with them.
01:06:48Dr. Bedlar.
01:06:50I...
01:06:51I don't care if you turn me into a raven.
01:06:53I...
01:06:54I...
01:06:54I don't care if you send me out into the cold night.
01:06:58I don't care about the hawks and pin feathers.
01:07:00Anything.
01:07:01Anything is better than death.
01:07:04Might be more amusing.
01:07:06You really don't care what happens to your friends?
01:07:10No, why should I?
01:07:13Such perfection of treachery fills me with admiration.
01:07:19Since Dr. Craven will never have the opportunity of helping you again.
01:07:38Thank you!
01:07:41So, farewell to Dr. Bedlar.
01:07:44As he flaps away to his well-deserved oblivion.
01:07:53Court?
01:07:55And now, dear doctor, we'll take your charming daughter outside.
01:08:01No!
01:08:02Father!
01:08:04What are you going to do?
01:08:05What are you going to do?
01:08:07I wonder.
01:08:09No!
01:08:10Let me go!
01:08:11Estelle!
01:08:12Let me down!
01:08:13Estelle!
01:08:13Estelle!
01:08:14Scarabus, you maniac!
01:08:15Father!
01:08:16Father!
01:08:18Somebody help me!
01:08:20Help!
01:08:21Estelle!
01:08:26Dr. Craven.
01:08:27Be a little girl!
01:08:29Go for my hands!
01:08:31My hands!
01:08:32Yes, sir.
01:08:49Now, dear doctor, I offer you a choice.
01:08:57The secret of your hand manipulations or this...
01:09:01...like as this.
01:09:04Don't tell him, father! I'd rather die than have you tell him!
01:09:09Is that your wish, too, dear doctor?
01:09:15You didn't run... I mean, fly away?
01:09:19Is that what you thought?
01:09:21What else was I supposed to think?
01:09:24All right, all right, never mind.
01:09:27You always did think like your mother.
01:09:31We're wasting time, doctor.
01:09:34Perhaps the sight of your daughter's flesh being seared...
01:09:37...will clarify your thinking.
01:09:42Now, do something right for a change.
01:09:50You're fine?
01:10:14Enough.
01:10:16This is no answer.
01:10:23Is there an answer then, doctor Scarabus?
01:10:26Yes.
01:10:28A duel to the death.
01:10:31Reconcile yourself to it, doctor.
01:10:34One of us must perish.
01:10:36Very well, then.
01:10:38A duel to the death.
01:10:58Come.
01:11:13No, sir.
01:11:14Or, you are not.
01:11:14I'll take a walk.
01:11:15I'm not ready.
01:11:15Yes, sir.
01:11:21How long do you stay?
01:11:23I'm not ready.
01:11:25I'm not ready.
01:11:26I'm with you.
