00:27Alice?
00:28Yes?
00:28Must we go in there?
00:29Yes.
00:30Of course, why?
00:31Why do we have to see him?
00:33Well, darling, I want to see him.
00:34He's my uncle.
00:34Besides, you've never even met him.
00:35I'm afraid.
00:37What?
00:37I'm afraid.
00:38Afraid of what?
00:40Haven't you any idea of why he wants to see you?
00:42Only what he said in his note.
00:43You've asked me that 25 times in the last two hours.
00:46You know as well as I that he said to come at once.
00:49Would you mind waiting for us, please?
00:51We won't be but a second.
00:59Why did he leave?
01:02I don't...
01:02I have no idea.
01:04He looked...
01:09Well...
01:26Mr. Corbett, how good to see you again after so many years.
01:30Thank you, Jacob.
01:31How long has it been?
01:32Oh, too long, too long.
01:34Jacob, this is Mrs. Corbett.
01:36Madame.
01:37Jacob has been with Uncle Amos forever.
01:39Not forever, but a long, long time.
01:41Your uncle is waiting for you.
01:43Right.
01:53Well, Jacob.
01:55How have you been?
01:56Oh, well enough.
01:58Thank you, sir.
01:58Enter.
02:11Uncle Amos.
02:18Uncle Amos.
02:21Uncle Amos.
02:22Uncle Amos.
02:24Uncle Amos.
02:26Uncle Amos.
02:26Uncle Amos.
02:27Uncle Amos.
02:43Sit. Sit down. Sit down.
02:50Uncle, I was trying to tell Sheila on the train how long it had been...
02:53I am about to die.
02:56What did you say, Uncle?
02:58I say I am about to die!
03:08I am going to leave everything that I have to you.
03:12I'm not happy about this.
03:14But since you are my only living relative, I...
03:19I have no choice.
03:35There are, however, certain conditions.
03:41What are they, Uncle?
03:44You will have to live in this house.
03:48I love this house, Uncle. Some of my happiest childhood memories are here.
03:51That's good, that's good.
03:53There are, however, one or two other conditions.
03:58What are they, Uncle?
03:59You will remain here and do my bidding.
04:03Which is, Uncle?
04:05That you spend 24 hours of every day here.
04:09And that you allow no day or night to go by without examining the burial vault beneath this house.
04:15My body will lie there.
04:17And the vault will be sealed as I direct it.
04:20If at any time you should discover that someone or some...
04:27Someone has been tampering with the vault.
04:30You will find my, my written instructions in the top drawer of this desk.
04:39In return for this house and all that I possess which is considerable.
04:44Will you promise to do these things exactly as I demand?
04:49I promise, Uncle.
04:55Exactly!
04:57As I demand!
05:00Exactly.
05:08I'll tell Jacob to see to your things.
05:26I'll block him yet.
05:29Amos Wilder is still a match for you.
05:33Do you hear me, Andrew?
05:35Do you hear me?
05:48Can you hear me, Andrew?
05:50Can you hear me?
05:53The frightened challenge of an old man?
05:56To who?
06:00Or to what?
06:02Questions.
06:04How does the old man know that he will soon be dead?
06:08And why does he fear that which may follow his death?
06:13Questions.
06:15Questions which will be answered before the night is done, as sure as my name is Boris Kala.
06:24But what are the questions that remain unanswered?
06:28Black secrets, jealously guarded, handed down.
06:33Spells, incantations, rituals, curses.
06:37The mysteries of the universe that have been revealed through the centuries.
06:43Only to a scattered, unscrupulous few who thrive on evil.
06:49And aren't too particular about the final disposition of their immortal souls.
06:59Such a man was Anne Bentley.
07:02And our story tonight concerns the efforts of the living
07:07To combat his return from the world of the dead.
07:13Our players are...
07:16John Newland.
07:21Anfinette Bauer.
07:27Philip Berniff.
07:32Oscar Beregi.
07:36And Reggie Nalda.
07:42Yes, my friends.
07:44There are those who believe in the occult arts.
07:48And it is said even those who practice them.
07:51All that is required is the proper recipe.
07:55The gentleman's agreement with the devil.
07:57And an unflinching faith in the supernatural.
08:02Can it really be true?
08:05I don't think so.
08:08Everybody knows there's no such thing as magic.
08:32There's no such thing as magic.
08:33I'm sorry.
08:33You know unfortunately, it's true.
08:33It's been a good thing.
08:33I know you, but I'm sorry, a good one.
08:37I'm sorry.
09:06It's all right.
09:07I haven't forgotten you.
10:04I haven't forgotten you.
10:11Deep, deep, down into the depths of the earth, gloriously never to see the sun again.
10:40Deep, deep, down into the depths of the earth.
11:12It must be Uncle Amos.
11:15Why is he playing the organ at this time of night?
11:17I don't know.
11:19It is his house, darling.
11:21It sounds as if it were coming from the cellar.
11:23You go back to bed.
11:24I'll go down and see what it is.
11:25Ellis, let me go with you, please.
11:28All right.
11:36How weird it sounds.
11:59I don't know.
12:02I don't know.
17:25Thank you, Doctor.
17:26The last thing he said to us was, I won't be seeing you again.
17:32How did he know?
17:33Well, I hadn't really intended to tell you so soon.
17:37It wasn't quite that mysterious.
17:40Tragic, yes.
17:41Not mysterious.
17:43What do you mean?
17:45What do you mean?
17:45When your uncle said, I won't be seeing you again, he meant that he intended to take his life, but
17:51poison.
17:54What?
17:55How do you know?
17:58Well, even if I hadn't examined him, he might have known, the odor of arsenic is unmistakable.
18:04But why?
18:06Was he ill?
18:08No, not physically.
18:11His mind.
18:13Well, I'm afraid that he's not.
18:14Well, I'm afraid.
18:15Well, that would certainly explain some of his odd conditions.
18:19Conditions?
18:21That must be why he said what he did.
18:25And what would that be?
18:27He said, I'll block him yet.
18:29Him?
18:30Yes.
18:33Amos Wilder is still a match for you.
18:38Do you hear me, Andrew?
18:41Do you hear me?
18:44Andrew?
18:45What do you suppose this Andrew might be?
18:49Thank you, Jacob.
18:56Yes, Jacob?
18:59Sir, I realize that this is not the time for this, but...
19:02What is it?
19:04I wish to leave, sir.
19:05Leave?
19:06Yes, sir.
19:08You mean permanently?
19:09Yes, sir.
19:11But why?
19:14I have my reasons, sir.
19:16Well, I'm sure you have, but after 30 years with my uncle...
19:2033, sir.
19:2233 years then, Jacob, and you want to leave?
19:25Yes, sir.
19:27Is it us, Jacob?
19:28Oh, no, Madame McCauvey.
19:31Of course it isn't.
19:32It's...
19:34Well, what is it, Jacob?
19:39Well, I understand that I can't force you to say what it is.
19:42But couldn't you stay at least a little while until my wife and I have a chance to...
19:45To familiarize ourselves with the house, or at least replace you with someone else?
19:51Well, perhaps for a little while.
19:54I am sorry.
20:06I wonder why Jacob was so upset.
20:09Did you see how he was?
20:10He's been acting strangely ever since my uncle died.
20:14Why do you suppose he'd want to leave after so many years?
20:24Do you know?
20:28Dr. Weatherby, who is Andrew?
20:32Not is, Mr. Corbett.
20:35Was.
20:36Andrew Bentley died two years ago.
21:02Yes.
21:03Do you believe your uncle was really mad?
21:06I think he must have been.
21:08No.
21:08And why are you doing this?
21:10Why are you staying in this house and agreeing to these incredible conditions?
21:13I don't know.
21:14Except that...
21:15Well, I did promise.
21:17And it really isn't that much trouble.
21:19After all, he did leave us everything he owned.
21:22Didn't he?
21:48Seems all right.
21:50There now, that wasn't so bad, was it?
22:08It was haunted.
22:33Have you noticed that almost every book in here is about the account?
22:37Yes.
22:39You know, I can remember my mother telling me stories of Uncle Amos
22:44and his black magic.
22:46You never told me that.
22:48No wonder he was so strange.
22:50Let me show you something.
22:53Yes.
22:57Your uncle gave this to me before he died, sir.
23:00He told me to give it to you after you had examined his tomb.
23:05Thank you, Jacob.
23:11What is it?
23:17I beg your pardon, sir.
23:19Supper will be served shortly.
23:29Ellis, you must bring Burkhardt here.
23:32If he has not already protected me.
23:36Otherwise, see marked book on second shelf of seventh compartment in study.
23:45Do we know any Burkhardt?
23:47I don't think so.
23:52Well, let's see if there's a marked book on the second shelf of the seventh compartment.
23:58One, two, three, four, five, six.
24:11The rights of protection.
24:14Protection?
24:16Against what?
24:24Yes?
24:26The Reverend Burkhardt to see you, sir.
24:29Good evening, Mr. Corbett.
24:31Good evening, Reverend.
24:32This is my wife, Sheila.
24:34Mrs. Corbett.
24:35Please, come in and sit down, Reverend.
24:37No, thank you.
24:38I only have a moment or so.
24:40I just wanted to stop by and, first of all, extend my condolences on your uncle's tragic demise.
24:47Secondly, to explain why I couldn't appear at the funeral to bless your uncle's grave.
24:56So that's what he meant by protection.
24:58I beg your pardon?
25:06Oh, I see.
25:09You, of course, understand why that, uh, protection, as he termed it, had to be withheld.
25:18I presume you mean because he took his own life.
25:20Yes.
25:23As far as this book is concerned.
25:26The rights of protection?
25:28Yes, uh, put it away.
25:30What?
25:31For your own good.
25:40For protection of, no, that's from things.
25:48Walk the night.
25:55Race existen quae noctem obscuratatem quae suem pervadent.
26:02There are things which stalk abroad by darkness.
26:09Demones quae homines incultus, saipis in temptationem inducant demons lured, demons lured on by man's ignorance.
26:21Mr. Corbett, please!
26:22Havent omnus, ut semi-tipsi maleficio, eorum se exponent atque, ad proteggendos mortuos et tumbas, defensoris se erigent.
26:37Let no bodies, it means dead bodies, be exposed to their evil wrath.
26:49Let there be all manner of protection from mortuos et tumbas.
26:55Crips and vaults.
26:59Crips and bolts.
27:10Quia daemones per loca mortifera sine lege vagantur.
27:18Arquer interficiendas animas.
27:23For know you that these are soul demons.
27:28Who haunt the places of the dead.
27:33Seeking to possess these dead.
27:37And use them.
27:52Emily!
27:53I'm here darling.
28:02I don't think I can stand this house much longer.
28:05Why? What's the matter?
28:09There's something unnatural here.
28:12Strange noises.
28:24No, that's just, don't be silly.
28:29This is the most incredible book. I just read something.
28:31I don't want to hear it.
28:36How long are we going to stay in this place? How long?
28:4424 hours of every day.
28:52What do you mean by that?
28:53We promised.
28:55We promised.
28:56Or rather I promised.
28:58To take care of my uncle's grave.
29:00Forever?
29:02Surely you're not serious.
29:03What do you want me to do?
29:04Give up this marvelous house?
29:06And a sizable bank account?
29:08And go back to that grubby little apartment at the university?
29:11You enjoy spending the rest of your life cow tying to Dean's wives?
29:15You know, Sheila, sometimes you and I have very little in common.
29:23I'm sorry.
29:24Really I am.
29:26It's just that this whole business has me edgy too.
29:28Forgive me.
29:29It's just that now, at last I have the time to write.
29:33I'll never finish my book if I have to go on preparing for classes day after day after day.
29:37I know, I know.
29:39It's just that this house depresses me so.
29:42But you'll get used to it.
29:44I'm sure you will.
29:48I have.
29:54Ellie!
30:00Where are you going?
30:01To examine the vault.
30:04You do believe it, don't you?
30:07I don't know.
30:10You want to come with me?
30:12No.
30:18Sheila.
30:21If it gets to be too much for you.
30:23I mean, really too much.
30:27We'll leave.
30:28I promise.
30:30All right?
30:56You know, you got your eyes.
30:59You're waiting for me.
31:00I'll leave.
31:09You'll be right back.
31:10I'll leave.
31:11I'll leave.
31:17You've got your eyes.
31:22I'll leave.
31:22It's a good day.
32:00Who are you?
32:08Get away from that door.
32:23Oh...
32:25Oh...
32:31Oh...
32:33Andy...
32:37Darling...
32:38Darling...
32:44What happened?
32:47I heard a terrible sound.
32:51What was it?
33:11I heard a lot.
33:24I heard a lot.
33:45What happened?
33:48There was a man down there.
33:51There was someone trying to get into the vault.
33:54Into the vault?
33:57I told him to stop.
34:03He was terrifying.
34:06I tried to stop him.
34:07I started to move toward him.
34:10Suddenly I heard a sound.
34:15He looked over my shoulder.
34:18And I saw...
34:29Mr. Corbett, I...
34:36Jacob, I've just come from the vault.
34:38Sir?
34:40Someone was down there.
34:43Someone trying to get into the vault.
34:46Someone I've never seen before.
34:52Who is he, Jacob?
34:55He was tall.
34:58He wore a long black cape.
35:02You know who he is, don't you, Jacob?
35:06He's the reason you're frightened.
35:10He's the reason you want to leave.
35:12Who is he, Jacob?
35:14Jacob?
35:16Who is he, Jacob?
35:16He's Andrew Bentley, sir.
35:20He's Andrew Bentley.
35:26He's Andrew Bentley.
35:30He's, Andrew, the window's roof.
35:34He's dead!
35:45And the back of the window's room, he's been no longer.
35:49He's dead!
36:11Let's cover him up.
36:29You see, he saw something that terrified him.
36:33Who is Andrew Bentley?
36:37You know who he is, don't you, Doctor?
36:40Yes, I know.
36:41Who is he?
36:42Am I to understand that what Jacob saw was Andrew Bentley?
36:46Sheila saw him, too.
36:49I saw him.
36:51You saw him?
36:53Yes.
36:54You couldn't have.
36:55He's dead.
36:55The man we saw is not dead.
36:58Nobody has seen Andrew Bentley for two years.
37:01Who is he?
37:02Tell me.
37:03I never knew him very well.
37:05He was a man I never had any dealings with,
37:08with whom I never cared to have any.
37:11In all my life, I've never known a human being who,
37:17whose mere presence was so completely evil.
37:23Why was he evil?
37:26He was said to be a sorcerer, a practitioner of black magic.
37:31You believe this?
37:35I don't know.
37:38All I know is that everyone here feared him.
37:42I feared him.
37:45Why?
37:46What were you afraid of?
37:48It's impossible to say, really.
37:50It was all emotional.
37:53Something sensed rather than understood.
37:57Things that people claimed to have seen and heard.
38:00weird companions.
38:02A strange, horrifying sound.
38:04What kind of sound?
38:06Why do you ask?
38:08Because we heard a sound.
38:09Tonight.
38:11A terrible sound.
38:14Is this the man you saw?
38:22Yes.
38:24That's Andrew Bentley.
38:26Your uncle gave me that photograph.
38:28But what is that?
38:29His familiar?
38:31His what?
38:33His creature.
38:35A demon summoned to do his bidding.
38:38I saw it.
38:40I saw it.
38:42But why is he here?
38:43Why is Bentley here?
38:45For know you that those soulless demons haunt the places of the dead.
38:56Seeking to possess those dead.
38:59And use them.
39:01They want my uncle's body.
39:03That's what he was afraid of.
39:05What are we to do?
39:07A letter.
39:08What letter?
39:09The last thing my uncle told me.
39:11Was that if ever we suspected that someone was tampering with the vault.
39:16We would find written instructions in a letter in the top door of his desk.
39:44We would find written instructions in a letter in the top door of his desk.
39:45What?
39:49No.
39:52If they come for me as indeed they must have if you are reading this.
39:56There is but one course you can take.
39:59Bentley's corpse must be found and utterly destroyed.
40:02And he is dead.
40:02but we we saw him I killed Bentley almost two years ago stabbed him with a
40:09hunting knife which must still be fixed in his skeleton what you see walking
40:18the night is his ghost
40:24he may look real but he is not what you see is a shade specter without substance
40:31both Burkhart and Wetherby suspected that I aided Bentley in his obscene rights but
40:38that was long before I knew what depths of evil lurked in Bentley's heart yes I
40:45knew about your uncle's preoccupation with this black magic yes if you will but I
40:50didn't know it had gone this far when he summoned forth that hideous and hellish
40:57demon of his I had no choice I killed Andrew Bentley after I killed him I
41:03placed his body in the vault but the familiar moved it and hid it somewhere in
41:12the grounds I've not been able to find the remains but I have kept them from the
41:17house with my magic they torment me constantly I cannot go on yet I fear what
41:24must follow when I am dead what does he mean they will want my body Alice so
41:31that it can be inhabited by Bentley's demon save me from this unspeakable horror
41:37find his corpse destroy it now
41:45it must be somewhere in a cell wait you can't do this alone it's extremely
41:50dangerous we need the Reverend Burkhart

42:27oh
42:55Oh, I don't know what I'm going to do.
43:13Wait, it's shorter this way.
43:39Look, why did he stop?
43:41The river.
43:42They can't cross water.
43:54What was that sound?
43:55I heard it all the way inside the church.
43:57Father, help us, please.
43:57We must find Andrew Bentley's body.
43:59And destroy it, please.
44:01Our carriage is behind the church.
44:03Quickly.
44:36In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost, I command thee, Spirit, leave this place
44:45and return to thy grave.
45:14Well, we saw him come in here.
45:16There's obviously another way out of the room.
45:19Take me over.
45:19Fill it up.
45:31Oh, come on.
45:32Come on.
45:54What an evil place.
46:10Burn it, burn it quickly.
46:38Hand me that pot of oil.
47:17Look.
47:31Once Benke's remains
47:33are destroyed, it will return to death from whence it came.
47:45Now for the love of God rest in peace.
47:49No.
