Let's go. You've seen enough.

You said you weren't going to be scared.

I was wrong.

I admit it.

Come on. I love planes and old buildings.

Let's go.

No. Not yet.

Look, I admit it. I'm scared.

What do you have to say?

Why don't we go?

Well, because I think you're going to be perfect.

Okay, come on out.

Please don't scare me.

is the pride of love.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, when we talk about deviancy in society, we face the problem

determining what is, in fact, normal.

Of all the deviant behavior patterns we find in society, perhaps the most common

is incest, followed closely by homosexuality.

Both of these are culturally defined patterns, and societal attitudes towards

them vary from one society to another.

In fact, generally we classify them as relative deviant patterns.

Does anybody have the time?

Okay,

that's enough for today.

On Monday, we'll talk about another pattern that might be of interest to all

you, cannibalism.

Have a good weekend.

Please, madame, keep walking. Act as if nothing is happening.

If you value my life, please, madame, make pretelezo. We are together.

Do not look behind you, whatever you do.

Don't look behind, please.

Please do not look behind you.

Well, now that you have looked behind you, let me ask you a few questions.

No. Did you possibly see two men in dark suits getting out of a Citroën with a

French poodle?

No. No.

Okay, then.

How about two men in dark suits getting out of a Volkswagen with a German

shepherd? Are you for that? No? No, I'm sorry.

No, all right. Then did you possibly say two gentlemen in dark suits

getting out of a Rolls -Royce with a bulldog?

I don't know. I'm sorry. I can't help you. Are you absolutely certain?

I'm absolutely certain.

Good. Then we are safe.

Will you go on a picnic with me?

Oh, you're too much. No,

I really can't. Look, I've got a jug of wine.

I've got a jug of wine and I've got a loaf of bananas.

And I've got a piece of bread. And I need a thou.

And you're a thou.

Thank you very much, but I really can't.

I just can't. I have too much to do this afternoon. What could you possibly have

to do that's more important than going on a picnic?

I have a lot of homework and I have to finish a painting and it's almost the

of... Are you a painter?

Yeah, a little, you know. Do you know a painting called Déjeuner sur l 'herbe?

Déjeuner sur l 'herbe?

Déjeuner sur l 'herbe.

Yeah, I know it.

And who painted that painting?

Manet. Manet. And was Manet a great painter?

Oh, yeah, he was a great painter. He was a great painter. And what is that

painting of?

Could it be of a picnic?

And what experience gave Manet the great power to portray it on canvas?

Well, I would say it's because he suffered. And? Because he worked on his

painting. And? I have to do that. And? And?

And?

And he went on a picnic.

You're right. He went on a picnic.

But there were two men in that picnic.

And there was a nude woman.

And we just don't have the requirement.

Oh, wait. That's okay. I'll be nude.

Hey, wait.

Why do these things always happen to me?

Well, look, Jenny.

You have to admit, that picnic was a gourmet's delight.

Yeah. I'll have to admit, bananas and bread is pretty exotic.

Hey, I have a question.

How did you know my name?

Dougie.

No way.

Good guess.

Well,

actually, I asked your professor.

Are you in my class?

No, I don't go to school. I work at the newspaper.

Ace reporter, huh?

Well, actually, for the time being, I ran errands.

But I'm supposed to start writing in the feature section soon.

What will you write about? Travel? You don't even know the way back.

You'll see.

We should have turned left back there. No, I'm absolutely positive it was

We're going the right way. Believe me.

What seems to be the problem, Sheriff?

I didn't think I was speeding.

No, you weren't speeding.

What are you doing in this valley?

Just passing through.

You planning on staying long?

Not particularly.

Hey, what's going on here? You going to give me a ticket or what? Calm down,

boy. I want to give you a piece of good advice.

The people in this valley don't care too much for strangers.

Is that all?

Yeah, that's all.

You two be on your best behavior.

Okay.

Luther, give him back his license.

Certainly, Sheriff.

City kids.

Yeah.

What was that all about?

I don't know.

They sounded like they got their dialogue out of some third -rate

We don't cotton much to strangers in easier parts.

Absolutely positive it was right.

It does look at this point like I'm in a sliding.

Oh, no.

I'm fine.

What do you suppose that's for?

I don't know.

Wait, John. Let's see where it goes.

Oh, come on. Let's go.

What is your spirit of adventure?

I lost it in the Greyhound Bus Depot.

Aren't you curious?

You really want to?

Yeah.

Okay. Let's walk. Let's drive.

was? I don't know.

Probably an old resort.

There used to be a lot of them in this valley in the 1890s.

Yeah?

Look, I was right.

Shoulder spring spa.

Hey, you're not so dumb after all.

We were just coming back from a picnic and we got kind of lost.

Well, I guess there's no harm done.

Here, let's go out in the sunshine.

I just worry about young gorgons and vandals breaking all the windows.

Do you do, Lucia?

Yes, I do, child.

Would you like to see my room?

I'm just about to make some tea. Would you like some?

I'm Jenny McAllister, Anna.

And this is Storm?

Yes. Well, I'm pleased to make your acquaintance. Make yourselves at home,

I'll go see if the tea kettle is hot.

I mean, most of the others around here closed during the 1930s, didn't they?

Oh, yes.

Financial problems, I suppose.

And then there were some rumors about the owner and his wife.

Oh,

the usual thought, child.

People will always find something to talk about, and it's usually cruel and

untrue. Why did you stay here?

Well, I had no place else to go.

My father was head caretaker here.

And we lived on here together for two, three years after the place closed.

And then my father died.

Then I stayed on.

How old were you when he died?

Oh, I guess I was about your age, child.

A young girl.

Oh, we loved it here.

This spa was the biggest, the most expensive, and the most beautiful

in the valley.

Oh, but that was a long time ago.

Another day.

These rooms look very comfortable.

Do you use the rest of the house?

Oh, no. I boarded most of them up. They're old.

down inside.

How many other buildings are there?

Oh, there's thirteen and a half.

And a half?

You young people probably think we're silly, but we think thirteen's an

number. And when the architects planned to call for thirteen buildings,

they...

What did the incisors look like?

Oh, they're pretty messy now. They're all falling down.

Do you mind if we look around?

No.

No. Would you like me to show you around?

This place really has quite a history.

I'd like that very much.

Don, do you mind if I just stay here for a while? Is that all right?

I feel dizzy for some reason.

Are you sure you're okay?

Oh, yes. Nothing.

She's got you, Charlie.

Oh, it's nothing.

I just... I just like to tick you, and I'll catch up with you in a minute,

Okay.

You catch up when you're feeling okay, all right?

John?

You're doing better, John.

You're still looking a little frail.

No, I'm much better, thank you. You missed a great tour. Oh, but there's

the main banquet hall. Come along.

Come on.

Now, this is a great kitchen where they supply food from all the dining halls

in the spot.

Three dining halls and the restaurant.

I want you to be shy and look at...

It was really fascinating.

But I guess we'd better get going if we want to get back before it gets dark.

Well, thank you both.

I enjoyed your company.

I'm sorry I startled you, child.

That's okay. It was my fault.

Nonsense. Now, you take care of yourself.

I think you may be coming down with a fever. I will. Thanks again for

everything. You're welcome.

Come again sometime.

Maybe we will. Bye -bye.

Do you make a habit of dropping in on people? Well, it does get their

Oh, no kidding.

Hey, I was wondering when I was going to see you again. Hey, look, I'm sorry.

I've been really busy down at the paper.

That's another thing. I called that paper where you work, and the person I

talked to didn't know who you were.

Oh, well, you probably spoke to the front desk.

Well, they don't know me up there.

I'm always in the back in the feature section.

Well, anyway, I was looking for you today.

I've got a surprise for you.

Oh, not another Groucho the Spy all -expense -paid picnic, is it?

Nope. Better than that.

A whole day with me ending with dinner on the town.

Hmm, sounds promising.

When? Saturday.

Well, I think I'm free.

I know you are.

Well, you're right.

Where are we going to go?

Well, that's the catch.

Okay, what are you holding back? Where are you going to take me?

Soda Spring Spa.

John, no.

Oh, John, you know I don't like that place. I know.

I know, but... Listen, this is a great opportunity for me. I told my editor

about the place, and he thinks it's a perfect subject for a story in the

section. Oh, that place gives me the creeps. Oh, come on, please.

I mean, this is my first chance to do some actual writing.

Next time, you can pick the place.

Really? I promise.

And it won't be so bad. I mean... After I get a few pictures and get the fax

from the old lady, we can drive our cars back to the city for dinner.

Our cars?

Yeah.

That's the other thing. See, I'll be doing some work north of there.

And I thought maybe you could drive your own car up and meet me out in front.

John, couldn't I go with you?

You can't. It's somebody else's story. I'm just taking photos. I wish you

but it's impossible.

Look. I really want to spend the day with you.

It would mean a lot to me.

Please?

Okay.

What time?

Twelve o 'clock.

You better be there. I'll be there before you, for sure.

You better be.

I didn't expect to see anybody here.

I didn't hear you coming.

And I had a quail right in my sight.

I'm glad you didn't have me in your sight.

Doesn't Mrs.

Abercrombie mind you hunting here?

Who?

The old lady who lives here.

No one lives here.

No one's lived here since the place closed down, and that was in the early

In fact, no one even likes to come near here.

I'm about the only one who ever does.

But I don't believe all that nonsense.

And generally, the hunting's pretty good. Not that the deer hunting is much,

but... What nonsense?

What? You said that you didn't believe all that nonsense.

Oh, I've always said that's just foolish talk.

What kind of talk?

Well, the story goes like this.

But mind you, I don't believe a word of it.

By figure, it's the old people in the valley talking.

Well?

Well, okay.

Back in 1930 or so, on the 50th

anniversary of the opening of the spa, they had a huge ball and a banquet

to celebrate.

The owner's daughter had been married that afternoon, so they... made her the

guest of honor.

Well, when everything was ready for the banquet and everyone was ready to start,

the girl was nowhere to be found.

So they waited and waited and finally they started the banquet

without her.

And then after everybody had finished eating,

A couple of the guests went out into the kitchen to congratulate the cook on the

wonderful dinner.

And they found that, well... Yes?

Well, they found that the cook had killed the girl and cooked her

and had fed her to the guests.

Oh, my God.

That's my sentiments exactly.

But as the story goes, that was the end of the spa.

It closed that night and never opened again.

Why did the cook kill the girl?

They never figured that out.

And they never caught her.

Her?

Is this story true?

No, of course not.

I think it's all legend and not fact.

But the old people in the valley really believe it.

There's people who...

I swear that they've seen the ghost of that bride out here walking around in a

white wedding dress.

And people have come out here and were never seen again.

And a lot of other such nonsense.

But I figure that the spa closed because they just ran out of money.

Yeah, I like that reason best.

Oh, that must be John.

He's a friend of mine.

I'm supposed to meet him here.

Well, thank you for everything.

And for not shooting me.

My pleasure.

Bye. Wait.

This is the quickest way out to the front.

Oh.

It's faster going through here.

Now, this is the back of the main building, and you can cut right through

Okay.

Kind of spooky, huh?

I thought you didn't believe that story.

Well, I don't believe it, but...

Still kind of spooky.

Right down there.

To the right.

Okay. Thank you very much for everything.

Don't mention it.

I hope I see you again. I hope I see you, too.

Bye -bye. Bye -bye.

I'm sorry I was late.

Have you been here long?

Yes, but, John, listen.

Everything's gone.

Gone? When I got here and you weren't here and nothing else was either, I

thought I was going out of my mind.

Oh, hello.

What a delightful surprise.

Hello, Mrs. Abercrombie. Are you feeling better today, John?

I was worried about you.

It's so nice to see the two of you again.

Come on in.

I'm just putting on a positive theme.

I'd love some.

Believe me.

Just a few minutes ago, there was nothing here. She wasn't here, and the

was completely empty. Hey,

hold on.

You must have come in the wrong way. You mistook an empty guest house for hers.

No, I didn't.

Well, then how do you explain it?

I don't know.

I like it here, John. Please, let's go.

Now you're being silly.

Look, relax.

Are you feeling okay?

Oh, damn it, I'm fine.

This must be a mistake.

He's ready!

Come on in.

We'll be in in a second.

must be an awful housekeeper.

Every time you come here, the place is a mess. Don't be silly. It looks fine.

Now, tell me, what brings you two back here so soon?

Such an unexpected pleasure.

Well, when I got back, I was telling my editor about... Your editor?

Do you work for a magazine?

Newspaper. Oh.

Here, dear, be careful. It's very hot. See, I've done exactly worse than that.

mean, I don't write, but... There you go. Thank you.

But I think I've got my chance now.

I think I can do it. And I think I'll get it. The editor thinks that the

is a perfect subject for a feature story in the second section.

What? He's willing to make every effort to try to get it in.

So if you're interested, I brought my tape recorder and I'd like to take a few

pictures and ask you a few questions.

Now, you were saying...

Oh, well, uh, my editor thinks that the resort here would be a perfect subject

for a feature story in the Sunday section.

So, uh, I brought my camera and my tape recorder, and if I can impose on you for

a little longer, I'd like to ask you a few questions.

Oh, of course.

I find the whole thing so exciting.

Good. Say, listen, I have something that might interest you, man.

I have a scrapbook with all the pictures of this... This resort. I'd love to see

it. Yeah. There's a picture in here of my father.

Here, let's show this stuff. Over here.

And some of those... And some of those carriages I was telling you about. Huh?

What's that? Let's see. That's his father -in -law. Oh, this is his father

-law? Yes.

Yes. Oh, that's beautiful.

Isn't that lovely?

Oh, we should be seeing some pictures like that. Excuse me.

Let's turn you to the mirror.

Are you all right?

I just feel dizzy again.

I'll go outside for a while. Hey, Jenny.

Want me to call you?

Oh, no. I'll get you a story.

I'll just be outside.

What'd you say? What happened?

when you fainted.

You'd better come back to my rooms.

No, no, let me show you. Mrs.

Abercrombie's right.

No, let me show you. Jenny!

Jenny, please.

John, they were here.

There was that girl, and I was just crying.

Jenny, come on. Let's go back to Mrs. Abercrombie's room. You can lie down.

You need to light that up.

I'm

all

right. You stay here and rest.

John, will you go to the kitchen and get the rag next to the sink? Sure. It's

just a scrap.

That's no scratch.

Child, it should be bandaged properly. And when you get back home, you go see a

doctor. Here, I can do it. No.

Let me. No.

How's that fever, child?

I think you could be coming down with the flu.

Time's about to set.

Be dark in an hour.

We'll have to be going soon. Going?

Well, we plan to go back to the city for dinner. Oh, my, I won't stand for that.

You stay here and have dinner with me.

And spend the night alone.

Jenny needs the rest.

And besides, you don't need any dinner in that foggy city. You'll get pneumonia

for sure.

That's a very generous offer, but I'm afraid you can't accept.

It would be an imposition.

Oh, no, it would give me the greatest pleasure. But you weren't planning on

three for dinner. And besides, there isn't room for us here. Oh, yes, there

There are two cottages where my relatives used to stay when they visited

All they need are pillows and some blankets.

Of course, I'm afraid it's a little dusty now. Oh, that's very kind, Mrs.

Abercrombie, but... No, hush, child.

I insist you meet the rest.

It's all decided. I won't hear anything more.

Hold on a second.

Thank you. No second's not always.

Thanks.

You still sorry with Stan?

No.

I'm just so confused that everything's been happening.

Everything you think's been happening to you.

Okay, so there's no proof, but it doesn't prove that it didn't happen, and

doesn't change one thing.

What's that?

That I saw Mrs.

Abercrombie coming out of that padlocked room that she told us she didn't have

the key for. Jenny, you gotta believe me.

Mrs. Abercrombie was with me the whole time, talking about the resort.

She didn't leave until we heard you scream.

Well...

It doesn't change what I saw.

Not to what the hunter said.

Oh, wait, wait a minute.

I thought you just told me that the hunter didn't believe that story

No, but... But nothing.

Come on.

Now, look, Jenny.

You've just got to relax.

You've probably got a touch of some bug that's going around and it's playing

tricks on you.

Maybe so.

Anyway, I... I'm glad I'm not here alone.

You know, a bed that's going to always intrigue me.

Well, I've had one when I was little.

I used to jump in and pretend I was a Christian being thrown to the locker

No, no, no, no.

What?

The scene at the end of the monster movie when the heroine is finally

the grotesque beast. In a swimming pool?

Sure.

Step by step, closer and closer, the beast

came to our heroine, poor Miss Betty Lou.

Until at last there was nowhere left to go and she was trapped.

The final step.

The beast licked his lips in anticipation and snorted.

Then he looked down at her with an

emotion he had never felt before.

Was it love?

Anger? Pity? Greed?

Okay. A certain tenderness, shall we say.

And with this tenderness, he picked our heroine up.

Sorry, hero.

He knows what broke that cake.

But at that very moment, our hero appears on the scene.

Oh! Brave.

Young.

Intelligent.

Trustworthy. Loyal. Helpful. Friendly. Courteous. Kind. Obedient. Cheerful.

Thrifty. Brave, please.

Okay, okay.

And, reverend?

Our hero, Dr. Bradley, who just happens to be the creator of this hideous thing,

cognizant of the evil he has wreaked upon an unsuspecting world, and now that

his creature threatens the one thing in the world he loves besides science, has

come to do battle with the hideous monster.

Slowly, he approaches him. The thing rears up. He approaches again.

The thing rears up.

Come here, you beastly ham. You mean me?

Yes, you, you hideous creature.

Don't be rude.

Take that. And that.

Take that. Take that.

And the hero gets the upper hand and with a hurrah.

He's no hero at all.

But Dracula's nephew.

Out for a bite.

Oh, you never stop.

Oh,

John.

What?

Hope someone would come along and be interested enough in it to fix it up

it used to be. You know, paint it and wallpaper and

fix up the lovely old gardens and the walks.

Oh, but nobody feels like they're taught a place like this anymore.

Those days are gone.

This meal is superb.

You shouldn't have had so much trouble. Oh, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Wasn't that a trouble, you know?

Cooking's really my hobby.

Well, this is fantastic.

I'm glad you liked it. What kind of meat is this, Mrs. Abercrombie? Is it beef?

No.

Well, then lamb or pork?

No. What is it then?

It's an old secret family recipe.

Oh.

I call it Hunter's Stew.

It's far all the fun if I told you how I made it.

Well, it's delicious, so before I go, you promise you'll tell me how to make

Yes.

I promise to tell you how I make it before you go.

Now,

anybody for some wine?

I'd love some. You too.

Thank you very much.

the toast to the hospitality of our generous hostess. Yes, indeed.

Thank you.

Oh, what a clumsy fool I am.

Here.

How unfortunate.

Please don't make me stay. Let's go tonight.

I'm all excited again. Please.

There's got to be a perfectly logical explanation for...

Everything that you think's been happening to you.

You've probably got a fever and you're overtired.

Oh, please, John. There's nothing wrong.

Believe me.

I'll take care of you.

Works out the way I planned it.

It's the story of my life.

Some dinner in the city.

Yeah.

What you need now is rest.

I'll be right next door.

Tonight, you get some sleep.

Then tomorrow, we'll try to figure things out.

We'll find your hunter friend, and we'll go.

See what we can find out in town about Mrs.

Abercrombie.

I promise you'll help me check it out.

Cross my heart.

Let's do it.

Let's hear it.

I guess you left it for me to wear.

No, that's not exactly Playboy.

No.

I'll be right next door.

There was no one outside when I got here. It had to be there.

Jenny. Look at the door, the door.

No,

it had to be.

Come on, Jenny, lie down.

No, you don't believe me. Come on, lie down. You'll feel better. You have to

believe me. Jenny, please.

You don't believe me. Jenny, please.

Here, give her this. I put a substitute in it.

We're only making a boy.

No, we'll come back in the morning.

Get the key to the padlocked room.

That will prove it to John.

Now, listen.

Everything must be exactly the same as I told you.

Most important, the circle.

Don't worry, it will be.

But why do we need all this?

We didn't have to with the others. The others were not the same. She must be

just like that first bride.

Okay. Now, remember, we waited for tonight for a reason.

So that it can be just the same, she must die between midnight and six

in the morning.

Second thought.

I'm having trouble with our helpers. They're too anxious.

They could spoil everything.

Now remember, most important, the circle.

She must enter it.

Without us forcing her.

Understood?

What about Luther and the others?

If they're here by midnight, fine.

If not, we won't wait a second for them.

Thank you.

Did you find what you're looking for?

You are so perfect.

It's almost midnight.

I wanted her to be awake.

What about Luther and the others?

I told you, we weren't going to wait for them.

Then let's start.

Oh, we have to wait till midnight.

That drug may wear off at any time. We don't know how much we got in there.

Ah, enough did.

I don't want to hurry and spoil this.

We've worked too long looking for one as perfect as her.

Fine, child.

I'm so glad you could join us.

Although it's a shame after John and I worked so long and hard looking for

someone like you.

You're not going to be with us very long.

That shot we gave you was a local anesthetic.

You can see and hear fine, but you can't move your body at all.

Frustrating, isn't it, John?

But you have no idea how frustrating it's been for John and me, waiting all

this time for this night, this special night.

Ah, but it is well worth it.

Oh, I must thank you for being so generous with that blood for the circle.

It's almost time.

Fine, child.

In a moment, you're going to learn the recipe for my hunted stew.

Now, child, you are one of us.

Amen.

That's sure enough marijuana.

That's not mine.

Well, it's your car, ain't it?

Yeah, that's my car, but those are not mine.

I don't think you'll have to wait here a while, Sheriff.

This little lady doesn't deserve no private sale. Put her down there.

Ha ha ha!
