Step into horror history with Blood Feast (1963), directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis — the film that redefined shock and splatter on screen. Often called the very first “gore” movie, Blood Feast tells the twisted tale of a deranged caterer who prepares a ritualistic feast using human body parts.
This low-budget exploitation gem shocked audiences in the 1960s and paved the way for decades of slasher and splatter cinema. Whether you’re a horror aficionado or curious about the roots of gore, Blood Feast remains a must-watch cult classic.

00:01:00We'll repeat that.
00:01:01Police request that all women stay inside their homes after dark.
00:01:06If you must, go out.
00:05:31This looks like one of those long, hard ones.
00:05:34I know what you mean.
00:05:37Oh, Pete, call the radio and television stations.
00:05:41Have them repeat those emergency broadcasts every half hour.
00:05:45I want to make sure every woman in this town hears those broadcasts.
00:05:50Well, you better get going.
00:05:52I've got some reports to go over.
00:05:54Okay, chief.
00:06:15Good day.
00:06:16Good day, are you Mr. Ramsey, I'm Dorothy Fremont.
00:06:21I'm going to be right back.
00:06:23I'm going to be right back.
00:06:26I'm taking a dinner party in two weeks for my daughter.
00:06:29And Mrs. Dupree said that you cater to just the type of thing I'm looking for.
00:06:34I want something unusual.
00:06:37Something totally different
00:06:40Yes, Mrs. Fremont
00:06:42I do cater to unusual affairs
00:06:47What do you consider to be?
00:06:50Unusual. Oh, I don't know. What do you recommend?
00:06:55Have you ever had an Egyptian feast?
00:07:01That would be fine
00:07:03That would be perfect. My daughter, Suzette, is a student of Egyptian culture
00:07:08Mr. Rapses, she'd just love it
00:07:11An Egyptian feast
00:07:14Yes
00:07:15An authentic dinner
00:07:18Such as one might have attended in ancient Egypt
00:07:23The actual feast of an ancient Pharaoh
00:07:28It has not been served for five
00:07:33A thousand years
00:07:39Yes
00:07:42Yes
00:07:44We must do it
00:07:51Mrs. Fremont
00:07:54I am honored that you are requesting my services
00:07:59You see, this type of affair is my specialty
00:08:04So you see, I shall cook your daughter's dinner for you
00:08:09Oh, that will be wonderful
00:08:11Now I'm depending on you
00:08:13I want Suzette to have a party that will be the talk of the town
00:08:17Every dish must be authentic
00:08:19It's a surprise for Suzette, and I do want it to be successful
00:08:24Your dinner will indeed be a success
00:08:27Mrs. Fremont
00:08:29I promise you
00:08:32Things will be arranged just as the feast of the goddess was given five thousand years ago
00:08:41A goddess, Mr. Ramses?
00:08:44I don't think I understand
00:08:45I only meant that I will arrange things to suit your taste, Mrs. Fremont
00:08:52Oh, well, that's fine
00:08:53Then I can leave everything in your hands
00:08:55Now this is my card
00:08:57The name and address are right there
00:08:58I'm mailing out invitations for two weeks from Saturday night
00:09:02You can have things ready by then?
00:09:05Things have been ready for a long time, Mrs. Fremont
00:09:09A long time
00:09:11I beg your pardon
00:09:15Well then, good day, Mr. Ramses
00:09:18Two weeks from Saturday night
00:09:206.30 sharp
00:09:58Long time
00:10:34Oh, my Ishtar, my goddess.
00:10:38Oh, my goddess, at last you have seen me to begin.
00:10:43Oh, divine and wondrous one of the veiled light.
00:10:47At last, Shamos shall visit you in the feast of your love.
00:10:53Oh, my goddess, I am your slave, my lady of the dark moon.
00:11:31Come on, Mr. King.
00:11:36Come on, Mr. King.
00:11:38Not one fingerprint, nothing.
00:11:41Did you check with the girl's neighbors, Pete?
00:11:44Yeah, Chief, but they heard nothing.
00:11:46Seems she was a hostess at a restaurant.
00:11:48She got home every night about 12 o'clock.
00:11:51Neighbors said she's a quiet girl and never has any friends over.
00:11:54Then I went down and I spoke to her boss.
00:11:56She said he has no boyfriend at all, but all the people seemed to like her.
00:12:02And the only thing she seemed to have an active part in was a book club she belonged to.
00:12:08Well, stay on it, Pete.
00:12:11Look, we have the police for 200 miles around on this.
00:12:16Every street is patrolled.
00:12:18We sure should get him if he tries it again.
00:12:22Look, I've got to go over to the morgue.
00:12:24You get the work.
00:12:43Tony, it's getting late.
00:12:47Shouldn't we be getting back?
00:12:49Mom will worry about me when it gets dark.
00:12:52Relax, hon.
00:12:54Just a while longer.
00:12:57Do your folks know you're in good hands?
00:13:00It's all right.
00:13:03This is when it just starts getting nice.
00:13:08I know, Tony, but...
00:13:10Well, I feel...
00:13:12I feel funny.
00:13:15All those murders and everything around here.
00:13:18Hey, baby.
00:13:20I'm here.
00:13:23I'm not going to let anyone hurt you.
00:13:27You're my girl, aren't you?
00:13:32Besides, it's still early.
00:13:36Look, we'll go when it gets dark.
00:13:39I promise.
00:13:42Now, prove you love me.
00:14:01Tony!
00:14:03Tony!
00:15:46It's all my fault.
00:15:48Take it easy, Tony.
00:15:50Try to tell us who did it.
00:15:53You must try.
00:15:56Try to tell us, Tony.
00:15:58No, sir.
00:16:01I can't remember.
00:16:04Everything happened so fast.
00:16:10All I saw was this shadow.
00:16:14And then I got it.
00:16:16I can't remember.
00:16:18I can't remember.
00:16:20I can't remember.
00:16:21Take it easy, son.
00:16:22Sergeant, take this boy to the hospital.
00:16:25We will want to talk to you later, Tony.
00:16:28You calm down.
00:16:36Say, what do you make of these murders, Frank?
00:16:39He always kills the same way.
00:16:42He just takes one part of the body.
00:16:45This time, he took the brains.
00:16:49Now, what kind of a creature do that?
00:16:53Pathological killer.
00:16:55Sick, sick mind.
00:16:59Well, we've got to notify the parents.
00:17:01I don't look forward to that.
00:17:04You check on the boy.
00:17:06Find out anything he can remember.
00:17:09All right, let's get this poor girl's body down to the morgue.
00:17:13Officer, go get a stretcher, will you please?
00:17:34Mrs. Franklin, have you any idea who could have done this?
00:17:40She was so young.
00:17:42So very young.
00:17:44Oh, Arthur, why would anyone do this to our daughter?
00:17:48Try to control yourself, Mom.
00:17:52Marcy was a good girl.
00:17:54She'd want us to help the police.
00:17:57We've got to do whatever we can
00:17:58so that no innocent girls are murdered.
00:18:02Would you like a glass of water, Mrs. Franklin?
00:18:10Mr. Franklin, tell me about your daughter.
00:18:15Who were her friends?
00:18:18Did she ever date anyone besides Tony?
00:18:20Um, Marcy wasn't much of a gad about.
00:18:25She went steady with Tony for over a year.
00:18:32She had lots of friends.
00:18:35Everyone liked her.
00:18:38No one would do this to my Marcy.
00:18:40No one knew her.
00:18:49Did your daughter belong to any organizations, clubs, anything like that?
00:18:55No.
00:18:56She had lots of friends.
00:18:59She didn't belong to any one particular group.
00:19:04She did have a name on her book club list.
00:19:07Book club list?
00:19:08Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:19:09What do you mean book club list?
00:19:10She was going to graduate from high school this June.
00:19:13I made her a dress.
00:19:15A white dress.
00:19:17And now she'll never wear it.
00:19:18She'll never wear it.
00:19:20Please, Molly.
00:19:21Please.
00:19:22I'll give you a list of a friend's names.
00:19:25We'll do anything.
00:19:26Anything at all to help your finest killer.
00:19:29Please, Molly. Take it easy.
00:19:44All is nearly ready.
00:19:47Nearly ready.
00:19:50The ancient formula needed for your rebirth.
00:20:07Now we shall have the flavor.
00:20:10The special flavor.
00:20:13Seasoned just right for you,
00:20:16O mother of the pale darkness.
00:20:48When I wrapped up myièrement,
00:20:48Would manорoo很多?
00:20:51All is ready.
00:20:51Good Peter.
00:20:51Thank you Garibald.
00:20:53You're fired at Giant.
00:20:53Thank you Garibald.
00:20:54It's not so good.
00:29:43This custom of the blood feast existed for more than 400 years
00:29:47and was finally abolished by Amenhotep, the second of the 15th dynasty.
00:29:55It is said that even today there are still followers of this gruesome goddess.
00:30:00However, it has never been proven.
00:30:03And this concludes my lecture on ancient Egyptian cult.
00:30:07I hope to see you all again here next week.
00:30:39Oh, how could a race of people actually follow such a vile cult?
00:30:44Well, the ancients had many strange cults, honey.
00:30:48You know, an idea based on blood and lust, well, it could spread quickly in a civilization founded on superstition.
00:30:55Yes, I can see what you mean.
00:30:58But to actually eat human flesh, Pete, how could they?
00:31:02Oh, come on, honey. Let's talk about something more pleasant.
00:31:06Like, for example, you and me.
00:31:08You're coming to my party Saturday night, aren't you?
00:31:11I'm counting on your being my date.
00:31:14Oh, I wouldn't miss it.
00:31:16Say, you understand your mother went all out on this one, even for her.
00:31:19But I will try and make it if I'm not tied up on a case.
00:31:23You know, with all these grisly murders going on, I'm on 24-hour call.
00:31:28Pete, what do you make of all these murders?
00:31:31Isn't there any clue at all?
00:31:33No, not so far.
00:31:36You know, we have every man in the force working double duty.
00:31:40But nothing's broken so far.
00:31:43A little young, young Tony Parker, the boy was with a girl killed in the beach.
00:31:47He did give us one clue.
00:31:49He said that the way everything happened so quickly, he got a glimpse of gray hair and strange glowing eyes.
00:31:57And it seems to be an older man that we're looking for.
00:32:00I kind of got one clue of my own.
00:32:02It's, uh, I can't seem to make it fit, though.
00:32:07It's about a book.
00:32:09But I can't, I can't make out the significance of it.
00:32:12I feel safer with you working on it, Pete.
00:32:15And now I better call Mother for a ride home.
00:32:18She gets frantic when I'm out late at night.
00:32:21Say, how about me giving you a lift?
00:32:23You know, the mad killer wouldn't bother you being with a policeman.
00:32:26And don't worry, it's not a police gun.
00:32:28I'm not hinting.
00:32:29That would be great.
00:32:31Just let me call Mother first.
00:32:33Okay.
00:32:56Let's stop for a minute, please.
00:32:59I, I don't know.
00:33:02Do you think it's safe?
00:33:05You know, on second thoughts, you might be safer with the killer than you are with me.
00:33:10Pete, don't make a joke of it.
00:33:13You know I'm not afraid of you.
00:33:16And it is such a lovely night.
00:33:20Why not?
00:33:21But just for a little while.
00:33:29You know, this is the first pleasant evening I've had since that first murder.
00:33:36I'm just going to sit back, relax.
00:33:42Say, do you know now that I've got you to myself all alone, I don't know what to do with
00:33:48you.
00:33:49Well, I've got an idea or two.
00:33:52Easy, Mr. Officer.
00:33:55You're supposed to keep law and order, not break it.
00:34:01But you know, you are pretty nice.
00:34:03Well, you know something?
00:34:05You're pretty nice yourself.
00:34:08Say, Suzette, uh, well, ever since we started these Egyptian culture classes, there's, well, I wanted to say something to
00:34:17you.
00:34:17You have, Pete?
00:34:19What is that?
00:34:24Well, I don't know.
00:34:25I guess I'm a better policeman than I am a public speaker.
00:34:31Then don't speak, Pete.
00:34:44We interrupt this program to bring you a news bulletin.
00:34:47Another victim of the recent wave of brutal attacks has been found near death.
00:34:53Police say the victim is a young girl, about 23.
00:34:57Identity has not yet been established.
00:34:59The girl's condition is described as critical.
00:35:02I'd better get going, honey.
00:35:03They might need me down at the station.
00:35:05Oh, Pete.
00:35:18Well, that's it, the whole story.
00:35:21We found this girl on a deserted street on the outskirts of town.
00:35:25She was just about gone, but we did get her to a hospital.
00:35:29The whole side of her face was hacked away.
00:35:31Pete, if she can identify her attacker, this just might be the break we've been waiting for.
00:35:36Well, then let's get over there, pronto.
00:35:46Thank you, nurse.
00:35:47That'll be all.
00:35:49Doctor, we've got all we can.
00:35:53You, uh, may only stay a few minutes.
00:35:56There isn't much time.
00:35:58Doctor, has she any chance at all?
00:36:00Not a chance.
00:36:02This is one of the most brutal cases I've ever seen.
00:36:06Her face was hacked away, clear to the bone.
00:36:09Her eyes were gouged out.
00:36:12She's, uh, lost a great deal of blood in the severe shock.
00:36:18It's a terrible thing, such a young girl, too.
00:36:21Does anyone know the finer folks?
00:36:23So far, we, uh, don't know who she is.
00:36:26There was no damnification, uh, on her when the police brought her in.
00:36:31Uh, your missing person here was checking.
00:36:33I wonder, uh, let you know when we get a report.
00:36:36Can we talk to her?
00:36:38You can try, but please make it short.
00:36:45Miss?
00:36:46Can you hear me, miss?
00:36:51Can you hear me?
00:36:53We're police officers.
00:36:54We need your help.
00:36:57Yes.
00:37:00I can hear you.
00:37:02What's your name?
00:37:07Janet.
00:37:10Janet.
00:37:12Blake.
00:37:14Who did this to you, Janet?
00:37:16What did the person look like?
00:37:21Wild eyes.
00:37:24He had wild eyes.
00:37:30I was walking.
00:37:33He came from behind a bush.
00:37:39Horrible old man.
00:37:42He said it was for Eater.
00:37:47Eater.
00:37:51Doctor.
00:38:09I'm afraid it's all over.
00:38:11I'm sorry.
00:38:20She never had a chance, poor kid.
00:38:24An old man with wild eyes.
00:38:28Well, at least it's something.
00:38:31What do you make of it, Pete?
00:38:33What do you think she meant by E-Town?
00:38:36I don't know.
00:38:39Could be somebody's name.
00:38:42It's strange, though.
00:38:45That almost sounds familiar.
00:38:51Well, the killer must have thought she was dead.
00:38:54It's a miracle she wasn't.
00:38:57Well, she is now.
00:39:00Yeah.
00:39:03Well, okay, let's go make a report.
00:39:05And every man over 40 with any kind of a record gets picked up for questioning.
00:39:10We might come up with something.
00:39:14I pray to God we do.
00:39:15Well, let's go.
00:39:47Oh, my God.
00:40:17Oh, my God.
00:40:58I would like to speak to Miss Trudy Sanders, please.
00:41:05Oh, I see.
00:41:07This is quite urgent.
00:41:10Could you tell me where she could be reached?
00:41:15Oh, the Fremont residence.
00:41:19Yes, I have the number.
00:41:21Yes, thank you very much.
00:41:32Oh, Ishtar, mother of the black sun.
00:41:37Tomorrow, you shall have life.
00:41:41For I, Ramses, shall give you life.
00:41:49Only one more thing do I need,
00:41:53and the formula will be complete.
00:42:00Oh, my God.
00:43:25See, I'm sure I'm excited about this party tomorrow night.
00:43:29I wonder what Mother has planned.
00:43:32I don't know, but your mom certainly acts as if she has thought of a real treat.
00:43:36I can hardly wait for this party to start.
00:43:40Sounds like a real blast.
00:43:44It's getting late.
00:43:45It's got to mean.
00:43:47I want to finish shopping before it gets too dark.
00:43:50It gives me the shivers when I think of that killer loose somewhere.
00:43:54I'm going to get dressed.
00:43:57Jay, Suzette, do you know what type of party your mother has planned?
00:44:02Well, I'm not sure, but I think I have an idea.
00:44:06I'm not supposed to know anything about it.
00:44:09I think it's going to be an Egyptian feast.
00:44:12Egyptian feast?
00:44:13Yes.
00:44:14Well, you know, Mom knows how interested I've been in Egyptian culture
00:44:18and how I've been going to these lectures every week.
00:44:21Doesn't that sound exciting?
00:44:49I think it's going to be an Egyptian feast.
00:45:18I think it's going to be an Egyptian feast.
00:45:21She's been missing since last night.
00:45:23Now, look, I want an all-city alarm,
00:45:25and I want to know the moment you hear anything.
00:45:28I can only hope it's not to kill her.
00:45:30Yeah.
00:45:31You know, Trudy is a good friend of Suzette Fremont's.
00:45:34She said she left her house about 7.30 last night.
00:45:37And she never got home, Chief.
00:45:40Yes, it looks bad.
00:45:42But we're doing everything we can to find her.
00:45:45Look, I'm going down and checking the suspects
00:45:47that the boys brought in this morning.
00:45:49Keep me posted, Pete.
00:45:51Will do.
00:46:15Hello.
00:46:15I'd like to speak to Suzette, please.
00:46:18Sure.
00:46:21Hello, Suzette.
00:46:22Pete Thorne.
00:46:24Yeah, I know.
00:46:24That's why I called.
00:46:26You know, we've been so busy around here
00:46:27that I completely forgot about the dinner party.
00:46:30You know, I'll have to be late, honey, if you don't mind.
00:46:35No, honey, I'm sorry.
00:46:37We haven't had any word on Trudy's yet.
00:46:41Yeah, I know you are, but, well,
00:46:43try and enjoy yourself anyway.
00:46:46Say, uh, just what was the big surprise?
00:46:50Hey, that sounds great.
00:46:52Real Egyptian-style stuff, huh?
00:46:55Who?
00:46:57Fuhad Ramsey's.
00:46:58No, never heard of him.
00:47:01Oh, just like Dr. Flanders' speech, huh?
00:47:05Ishtar?
00:47:06Well, I hope it isn't exactly like Flanders described it,
00:47:10but it does sound like fun,
00:47:12and I'll get there as soon as I can, honey, okay?
00:47:15Goodbye, now.
00:47:20Ishtar?
00:47:42Oh, no.
00:47:43Oh, no.
00:47:47Oh, no.
00:47:48Oh, no.
00:47:56And now, and now for the flavor of Ishtar, the flavor of blood, of the young goddess,
00:48:07dead blood, to give life to Ishtar.
00:48:12Oh, no.
00:48:18No.
00:48:20Oh.
00:48:23Stop your screaming.
00:48:25Stop your screaming.
00:48:28Give yourself up to the goddess.
00:48:31Give yourself up.
00:48:39Give yourself up to the goddess.
00:48:41Give yourself up.
00:49:11Oh, no.
00:49:39Here we go.
00:49:40Ishtar, Ishtar, Ishtar, Ishtar, Ishtar.
00:49:58Dr. Flanders, this is Pete Thornton, Homicide?
00:50:02Yes, sir.
00:50:03I have a few questions I'd like you to help me with, sir.
00:50:07Now, you gave a talk last week on the Blood Feast of Ishtar, the Egyptian goddess.
00:50:13Yes, sir. The festival.
00:50:16Well, could you tell me a little bit more about it?
00:50:25Yes, Dr. Flanders, you've been very helpful, thank you.
00:50:28And I have just one more question, sir.
00:50:31Have you ever heard of a man called Fuad Ramses?
00:50:34He runs a catering service.
00:50:38Oh.
00:50:40Ancient, weird, religious rites, huh?
00:50:44Yeah.
00:50:46We found a copy of that, huh?
00:50:48No, never mind, sir.
00:50:50Thank you, doctor. Thank you very much.
00:50:57Yeah, Lieutenant Thornton, listen, alert all cars, send them to the vicinity of 45th and Lincoln, a place called Ramsey's
00:51:04Catering.
00:51:05And listen, get Mason over here fast. I think we got our killer.
00:51:13Oh, no, my boy.
00:51:18Whoa.
00:51:19Should we start again and a big mess the town?
00:51:21Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:51:24You're right.
00:51:24Oh, no, no.
00:51:30I'm sorry.
00:51:30Oh, no, not a 09 or Friday.
00:51:35I'm sorry.
00:51:37I'm sorry.
00:51:38What am I doing?
00:53:09Find the light, Frank.
00:53:15Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:53:16Whoa, whoa.
00:53:24I'm not mistaken, Frank.
00:53:27That's Trudy Sanders.
00:53:58That's Trudy Sanders.
00:54:12Frank, if I'm right, these are the leftovers from the preparation for the Feast of Ishtar.
00:54:22That's a blood feast.
00:54:25They take all the young girls, and they cook them to satisfy their goddess.
00:54:33Oh, no.
00:54:38Holy smoke, Frank.
00:54:40We gotta get over to the Fremont house.
00:54:42They're having a dinner party tonight.
00:54:44And Fuad Ramsey's is the caterer.
00:54:46Fuad Ramsey?
00:54:48Well, let's get going.
00:54:49Roberts, Nicholson, Harris, get on that phone.
00:54:53Call the Fremonts.
00:54:54For peace sake, tell them not to eat anything.
00:54:58Oh, and try not to make Ramsey suspicious until we get there.
00:55:31Phil, Phil, come on, Nancy.
00:55:35Mr. Ramsey's about to serve.
00:55:38It's my boyfriend calling long distance.
00:55:40I had him, now we're cut off.
00:55:43I have to wait.
00:55:45Oh, here's our Mr. Ramsey's now.
00:55:48Ah, Mrs. Thremont, a joyous occasion.
00:55:52But now I must alert your guests.
00:55:58The feast of Ishtar is about to begin.
00:56:06But to make the feast more authentic,
00:56:11I must ask the cooperation of the young lady
00:56:17in whose honor the feast is given.
00:56:19Oh, me?
00:56:20How exciting.
00:56:22Yes, Mrs. Thremont, it is exciting.
00:56:26And now, if the young lady will accompany me into the kitchen,
00:56:33we will prepare the feast, if you please.
00:56:37Oh, I'll bet there never was a party like this.
00:56:41Ah, but there was, Mrs. Thremont, 5,000 years ago.
00:56:47Oh, 5,000 years ago.
00:57:00Bill?
00:57:03Bill!
00:57:04Bill?
00:57:04Bill?
00:57:04Bill, are you there?
00:57:09Where's all the food?
00:57:10So, it is in the garage, my dear.
00:57:14You see, it would be a desecration to bring it into the house before you bless it.
00:57:22Come.
00:57:24And now, my dear, I would like you to be kind to the whim of an old man.
00:57:31As you can see, my dear, I am an old man.
00:57:34And I shall never again have the chance to offer a feast to Ishtar.
00:57:41You see, in the ancient days, it required a young maiden like yourself to be offered to bless the feast.
00:57:51How do I do that?
00:57:54Well, it is necessary, my dear, to lie outstretched on an altar.
00:58:00I will prepare this table.
00:58:02This table will do.
00:58:04I'll allow you to help you.
00:58:06And then you lie back.
00:58:11You have your head here.
00:58:14And now, my dear, you must raise your arms to the heavens.
00:58:21And you say,
00:58:23Oh, Ishtar, take me unto yourself.
00:58:27And your eyes must be tightly closed.
00:58:32Is that all?
00:58:34Yes, my dear.
00:58:36That is all.
00:58:37And you will make the heart of an old man glad.
00:58:44Like this?
00:58:45This was fun.
00:58:48Dr. Flander says nothing in his lecture.
00:58:53Hey, you wouldn't sacrifice me on this altar, would you?
00:58:59Of course not, my dear.
00:59:01Of course not.
00:59:02Lie down.
00:59:11And now, my dear, you must repeat the sacred words.
00:59:17Oh, I forgot.
00:59:21I will repeat them for you.
00:59:23First, you must close your eyes.
00:59:25And then you say,
00:59:29Oh, Ishtar,
00:59:32you will take me unto yourself.
00:59:35And your eyes must be tightly closed.
00:59:43Oh, my Ishtar.
00:59:47This is silly.
00:59:49Oh, my dear, please.
00:59:51Do not break the heart of an old man.
00:59:53Your guests are waiting.
00:59:56Oh, I'm sorry.
00:59:58I'll do it.
01:00:01Oh, my Ishtar.
01:00:04Your eyes must be tightly closed
01:00:07so that the image of Ishtar is before you.
01:00:12Oh, my Ishtar.
01:00:16Take me unto yourself.
01:00:20Now, O Ishtar.
01:00:23The feast has begun.
01:00:30Oh, Mr. Ramses,
01:00:32I must say the guests are getting...
01:00:36Oh, my Ishtar.
01:00:55Oh, my God.
01:01:14Susette? Susette! Susette, Mrs. Fremont. Are you okay, honey?
01:01:24Oh, baby. If it weren't for Mother coming here.
01:01:28What's this all about?
01:01:30Ramsey's was a killer we've been looking for.
01:01:33Mrs. Fremont, I'm afraid this feast is evidence of murder.
01:01:38Oh, dear. The guests will have to eat hamburgers for dinner tonight.
01:01:43Did your man catch him as he ran out?
01:01:45No. But we will. We have to.
01:01:53Susette, look, honey. I'm afraid I got some very bad news for you.
01:01:58Now, listen. We found Trudy.
01:02:00And I'm afraid she was another victim of Ramsey's.
01:02:06Oh, Pete!
01:02:09What a horrible...
01:02:11Oh, I'm afraid to catch you before it's too late.
01:02:16Oh, poor Trudy.
01:02:19Oh, poor Trudy.
01:02:25Try and get some rest, huh?
01:02:27Lay down and get some rest, honey.
01:02:29Then when I get back, we'll have other things to talk about, all right?
01:02:33Okay, Pete. Let's go get him.
01:02:35Please, honey.
01:02:38Oh, poor Trudy.
01:02:39Oh, poor Trudy.
01:02:41Oh, poor Trudy.
01:02:41Oh, poor Trudy.
01:02:43Oh, poor Trudy.
01:02:44Oh, poor Trudy.
01:02:44Oh, poor Trudy.
01:02:47Oh, poor Trudy.
01:02:50Oh, poor Trudy.
01:02:55Oh, poor Trudy.
01:03:01Oh, poor Trudy.
01:04:22Frank, stop the truck.
01:04:39Stop.
01:04:42Hey, what's happening?
01:04:43You guys run into trouble?
01:04:55Hey, what's happening?
01:04:57You don't know it, buddy.
01:04:59You just did this town the biggest service it's ever had.
01:05:05Sergeant, notify headquarters of the killer.
01:05:09It's no more.
01:05:11He died a fitting death.
01:05:14The garbage he was.
01:05:17Pete, how in the world did you figure this out, Andrew?
01:05:21Well, Frank, I kept remembering the name Etar.
01:05:25You know, the name that girl gave us before she died.
01:05:28Suzette Fremont told me that her mother had planned a real Egyptian feast as a surprise for her.
01:05:33And you know what a bug I am in Egyptian culture.
01:05:37Dr. Flanders gave a talk on the ancient Egyptian goddess Ishtar last week.
01:05:41The names Etar and Ishtar were so similar that I got a hunch.
01:05:46And then Suzette told me that Afuad Ramses was catering their fare.
01:05:52So I called Dr. Flanders and asked him more about the blood festival of Ishtar.
01:05:57He said he knew of Afuad Ramses who had written a book called The Ancient Weird Religious Rites.
01:06:03And then I remembered.
01:06:04The book we found next to the body of the girl who was killed in the bathtub is the same
01:06:08book.
01:06:10Now, obviously, this man kept a list of the people who wrote for this book.
01:06:14So, Frank, who knows if the spell of this monstrous goddess has possessed anyone else?
01:06:23Lust, murder, food for an ancient goddess who received life through the perverted death of others.
01:06:35Let's go home, Frank.
01:06:45Let's go home, Frank.
