vampire novella carmilla

00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:17,520
we are now on to the final chapter
6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,520
chapter 16 conclusion
7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,600
i'm very sad i'm very sad that
8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,960
carmilla's dead dead dead double dead i
9
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,519
guess she was dead already but
10
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,560
anyway i write all this you suppose with
11
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:29,278
composure
12
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:31,119
but far from it i cannot think of it
13
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:32,960
without agitation
14
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:34,800
nothing but your earnest desires so
15
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,680
repeatedly expressed could have induced
16
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,760
me to sit
17
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,519
down to write a task that has unstrung
18
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,519
my nerves for months to come
19
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,280
and reintroduced a shadow of the
20
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,440
unspeakable horror which
21
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,360
years after my deliverance continued to
22
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,879
make my days and nights dreadful
23
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:52,800
and solitude insupportably terrific
24
00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:54,800
let me add a word or two about that
25
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,440
quaint baron vordenberg
26
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,959
to whose curious lore we were indebted
27
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,239
for the discovery of
28
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:05,519
countess mercallah's grave he had taken
29
00:01:02,239 --> 00:01:08,880
up his abode in gratz where living upon
30
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:10,799
a mere pittance which was all that
31
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,119
remained to him of the once princely
32
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:16,640
estates of his family in upper styria
33
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:18,320
he devoted himself to the minute and
34
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,640
laborous investigation of the
35
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:21,679
marvelously authenticated tradition of
36
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,720
vampirism
37
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:28,560
he had at his fingers and all the great
38
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,560
and little works upon the subject
39
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,840
philosophical
40
00:01:42,399 --> 00:01:46,720
you know there's just a lot of latin by
41
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:49,839
john christopher
42
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:52,720
herrenberg and a thousand others
43
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,119
among which i remember only a few of
44
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,439
those which he lent to my father
45
00:01:55,119 --> 00:01:59,520
he had a voluminous digest of all the
46
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:01,600
judicial cases from which he had
47
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,560
extracted a system of principles
48
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,199
that appear to govern some always and
49
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,759
others
50
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,878
occasionally only the condition of the
51
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:11,120
vampire
52
00:02:08,878 --> 00:02:12,799
i may mention in passing that the deadly
53
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,720
power attributed to
54
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,720
that sort of revenants is a mere
55
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,520
melodramatic fiction
56
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,359
they present in the grave and when they
57
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,000
show themselves in human society the
58
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,120
appearance
59
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,959
of healthy life when disclosed to light
60
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,480
in their coffins they exhibit all the
61
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:30,720
symptoms that are
62
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,200
enumerated as those which proved the
63
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,640
vampire life of the long dead countess
64
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,399
karnstein
65
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:38,399
how they escape from their graves and
66
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,160
return to them for certain hours every
67
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,239
day without displacing the clay
68
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,840
or leaving any trace of disturbance in
69
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:46,080
the state of the coffin
70
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,720
or the ceremonies has always been
71
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:51,440
admitted to be utterly inexplicable
72
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,560
the amphibious existence of the vampire
73
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,040
is sustained by
74
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,120
daily renewed slumber in the grave its
75
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,599
horrible lust for living blood supplies
76
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,519
the vigor of its waking existence
77
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:03,760
the vampire is prone to be fascinated
78
00:03:01,519 --> 00:03:05,840
with an engrossing vehemence resembling
79
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,879
the passion of love by particular
80
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,440
persons
81
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:11,518
in pursuit of these it will exercise
82
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,079
inexhaustible patience and
83
00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:16,000
stratagem for access to a particular
84
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,200
object may be obstructed in a hundred
85
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,840
ways
86
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,599
it will never desist until it has
87
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,319
satiated its passion
88
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:25,518
and drained the very life of its coveted
89
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:28,560
victim
90
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:31,040
but it will in these cases husband
91
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,319
and protract its murderous enjoyment
92
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,200
with the refinement
93
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:36,238
of an epicure and heightened it by
94
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,200
gradual approaches
95
00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:40,879
of an artful courtship in these cases it
96
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:44,159
seems to yearn for something like
97
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:46,560
sympathy and consent in ordinary ones it
98
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:47,519
goes direct to its object overpowers
99
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,400
with violence
100
00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:52,239
and strangles and exhausts often at a
101
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,439
single feast
102
00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:57,280
the vampire is apparently subject
103
00:03:55,439 --> 00:03:58,480
in certain situations to special
104
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,120
conditions
105
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,959
in the particular instance of which i
106
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,360
have given you a relation
107
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:06,080
mercalla seemed to be limited to a name
108
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,000
which
109
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,159
if not her real one should at least
110
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,080
reproduce without the omission or
111
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:15,679
addition of a single letter
112
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,759
those as we say and grammatically which
113
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:21,840
compose it
114
00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:23,520
carmilla did this so did malarka
115
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,520
my father related to the baron
116
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,280
vordenberg who remained with us for two
117
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,159
or three weeks after the expulsion of
118
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:30,799
carmilla
119
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,520
the story about the morovian nobleman
120
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,440
and the vampire at karnstein churchyard
121
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,198
and then he asked the baron how he had
122
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,880
discovered the exact position of the
123
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:40,160
long concealed tomb of the countess
124
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,560
mercalla
125
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:45,199
the baron's grotesque features puckered
126
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,759
up into a mysterious smile
127
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:49,120
he looked down still smiling on his worn
128
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:51,840
spectacle case
129
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,560
and fumbled with it then looking up he
130
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:54,320
said
131
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,960
i have many journals and other papers
132
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,199
written by that remarkable man
133
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,280
the most curious among them is the one
134
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:02,800
treating of the visit of which you speak
135
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:04,638
to karnstein
136
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,880
the tradition of course discolours and
137
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:09,360
distorts a little
138
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,240
he might have been termed a morovian
139
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,400
nobleman
140
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,520
for he had changed his abode to that
141
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,560
territory and
142
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,719
was beside a noble but he was in truth
143
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,800
the native of upper styria
144
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,000
it is enough to say that in very early
145
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,000
youth he had
146
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,440
been a passionate and favored lover of
147
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,160
the beautiful mercalla
148
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,960
countess karnstein her early death
149
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,560
plunged him
150
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:35,359
into inconsolable grief it is the nature
151
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,320
of vampires to increase and multiply but
152
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,600
according to
153
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:42,080
an ascertained and ghostly law assume
154
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,600
at starting a territory perfectly free
155
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,520
from that pest
156
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,039
how does it begin and how does it
157
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,758
multiply itself
158
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:51,840
i will tell you a person more or less
159
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:54,160
wicked puts an end to himself
160
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:56,159
a suicide under a certain circumstances
161
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,240
becomes a vampire
162
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,080
that specter visits living people in
163
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,240
their slumbers they die
164
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,318
and almost invariably in the grave
165
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,919
develop into vampires
166
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:07,840
this happened in the case of the
167
00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:10,719
beautiful mercalla who
168
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:13,198
was haunted by one of those demons my
169
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,600
ancestor vordenberg whose title i still
170
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:15,919
bear
171
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,840
soon discovered this and in the course
172
00:06:15,919 --> 00:06:20,000
of the studies to which he devoted
173
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:22,159
himself to learned a great deal
174
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,919
more among other things he concluded
175
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,080
that suspicion of vampirism would
176
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:27,198
probably fall sooner or later upon the
177
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,919
dead countess
178
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:31,680
who in life had been his idol he
179
00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:35,280
conceived a horror
180
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:37,520
be she what
181
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:38,479
be she what she might that's the
182
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,960
sentence
183
00:06:38,479 --> 00:06:43,599
he conceived horror be she what she
184
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,359
might of her remains being profaned by
185
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,560
the outrage of a posthumous
186
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,639
execution he has left a curious paper
187
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,840
to prove that the vampire on its
188
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:54,960
expulsion from its
189
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:58,000
amphibious existence is projected
190
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:00,880
into a far more horrible life
191
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,960
and he resolved to save his once beloved
192
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,599
makala from this
193
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,120
he adopted the stratagem of a journey
194
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:09,680
here and pretended
195
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,120
removal of her remains and real
196
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,560
obliteration of
197
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,120
her monument when age had stolen upon
198
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,680
him
199
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,680
and from the veil of years he looked
200
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,840
back on the scenes he was leaving he
201
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,240
considered in a different spirit
202
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,679
what he had done and a horror took
203
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,400
possession of him
204
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,639
he made the tracings and notes which
205
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,560
have guided me to the very spot
206
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:35,280
and drew up a confession of the
207
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:38,479
deception that he had practiced
208
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:41,359
if he had intended any further action
209
00:07:38,479 --> 00:07:42,560
in this matter death prevented him and
210
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,360
in the hand
211
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,120
of a remote descendant has too late for
212
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,599
many directed the pursuit
213
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,840
to the lair of the beast we talked a
214
00:07:49,599 --> 00:07:55,520
little more and among other things
215
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:58,318
he said was this one sign of the vampire
216
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,280
is the power of the hand the slender
217
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:01,759
hand of
218
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,679
mercalla closed like a vice of steel on
219
00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:05,120
the general's wrist when he raised the
220
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,599
hatchet to strike
221
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,479
but its power is not confined to its
222
00:08:07,599 --> 00:08:10,719
grasp
223
00:08:08,479 --> 00:08:12,000
it leaves a numbness in the limbs it
224
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,039
seizes which is
225
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,960
slowly if ever recovered from the
226
00:08:15,039 --> 00:08:17,360
following spring my father took me a
227
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,000
tour
228
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,360
through italy we remained away for more
229
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,919
than a year
230
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,599
it was long before the terror of recent
231
00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:27,758
events subsided
232
00:08:25,599 --> 00:08:29,199
and to this hour the image of carmilla
233
00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:32,399
returns to memory with
234
00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:33,200
ambiguous alterations sometimes the
235
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:36,479
playful
236
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,479
languid beautiful girl sometimes the
237
00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:39,519
writhing fiend i saw in the ruined
238
00:08:38,479 --> 00:08:42,320
church
239
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:43,599
and often from a reverie i have started
240
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,279
fancying
241
00:08:43,599 --> 00:08:50,399
i heard the light step of carmilla
242
00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:53,439
at the drawing room door that's
243
00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:57,600
it the end
244
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:59,760
that's the book i dare say i like
245
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,200

following us
249
