This is the inner sanctum.

A strange, fantastic world

controlled by a mass of
living, pulsating flesh,

the mind.

It destroys, distorts,

creates monsters,

commits murder.

Yes

even you, without knowing,

can commit murder.

The so-called phenomena
of mysticism and sorcery

are brought about through fear.

Fear, enslaving
countless millions,

making them believe because
they are afraid not to believe.

Reason against superstition.

Superstition, casting its shadow

across even our civilization,

holding up strange
supernatural gods

to play on man's imagination.

Yes, we still have
a long way to go.

Hello.

Yes

I was concerned about Paula.

I wanted to know if
she was all right.

Of course she's all right.

Why shouldn't she be?

Why?

I don't know

but I happened to
be looking out,

and I thought I saw her
hurrying madly along the street.

And after all,
Norman, at this hour.

Why, Paula's been
in bed all evening.

I'm sure you must be mistaken.

Well, maybe I was.

Sorry to bother you.

Good night.

Don't do that

it's bad luck.

Paula, haven't I told you,

there's nothing to
these superstitions?

Norman, you should be in bed.

I thought I heard
someone walking about.

There's no one walking.

It's the wind

it makes things creak and slam.

Yes, I suppose so.

Why don't you go to bed?

It's late

in a little while

I have some more writing to do.

I'm sorry I awakened you.

Now, go to sleep.

Good night.

Mud on her shoes

She lied to me.

She was out.

She must have gone some distance

where?

What for?

Is she in some sort of trouble,

or is she still clinging
to the weird pagan ritual

of the islands where
I first met her?

What are you doing?

Well, what is that?

He's trying to tell you it's
a line you must not cross.

All who do so offer
themselves as sacrifice

to the god, kahuna Ana Ana.

And they must die.

Oh, I see.

Thank you.

Did you see the star?

Yes, I did.

It was almost as though it
was an answer to the drums.

It was

it's the music of
the dance of death.

And where the star
fell, someone will die.

Oh, now...

Oh, you mustn't scoff.

You should be very grateful
to have seen what you've seen.

Let me introduce myself.

I'm Norman Reed

Reed?

Norman Reed?

Yes.

Didn't you come to see my
father once as a student?

He was professor of archeology
at the university here.

Professor Clayton.

Why, of course, I
remember professor Clayton.

And you're that little
pigtailed, freckle-faced girl.

Your name is, it's Paula.

Oh, you do have a good memory.

It was soon after that
father died and laraua,

my old nurse, brought me up.

She's a high priestess now.

It's almost unbelievable,

finding someone like you
in this strange setting

with witchcraft and jungle gods.

I1t's...

You must keep quiet.

You've offended the native gods.

Only the power of
laraua's white magic

can appease them and
heal your wounds.

She has placed you within
a circle of immunity.

Wait

Soon good.

Protect, protect, protect.

Paula said it was a circle of
immunity that saved my life.

Strange superstitious child.

I remember when I first brought
her home from the islands.

He's here

oh, darling, it's
wonderful to have you back.

Ilona, I...

Hello, Norman.

Hello everybody.

Paula, dear.

Folks, this is my wife.

Welcome, my dear.

Oh, she's lovely.

Norman, you sly old fox.

This is a great day,
a great day for Monroe.

Norman, you've certainly
done yourself proud,

a brilliant book and
a9 beautiful bride.

Come, this calls for
a real celebration

get yourself some
asbestos mittens

before you light
that torch, llona.

This is professor
and mrs Harrison.

How do you do, professor?

And here are the sawtelles.

Millard's in the
sociology department,

and Evelyn's a shark at bridge.

Well, Norman, we received
the advance copies of the book.

Why, it's a fine job.

And fine press, too.

Well, thank you.

Millard's written a
book, too, since you left,

and it's been accepted
by world press.

Oh, that's fine.

Congratulations to
vou, Millard, then.

Thank you.

Yes, yes, I've
really been too busy,

but Evelyn kept at me.

Not as brilliant as yours.

Oh, now.

With this admiring
throng's permission,

the hostess would like
to introduce herself.

Well, it's about time.

This is my sister
llona, Mrs. Reed.

I want you two to
be good friends.

I hope we shall be.

Why don't we start
by mixing you a drink?

Norman, will you help
me mix another round?

He's an expert mixer.

And now, my dear, if you will...

That will do, Septimus.

Why, you seventh son of a
seventh son, give it a rest.

Come away from this aging wolf

in an academic sheepskin, child.

Well, it looked like everything

is practically ready to me.

A fine return, Norman.

I planned this little
party for your homecoming,

and look what I get.

In front of all those people.

Well, those things happen.

I met Paula, fell
in love with her,

and that's all there is to it

well, it isn't enough.

It isn't enough to keep everyone

on the campus from
laughing behind my back.

Oh, llona, quit
dramatizing yourself.

We had a pleasant
flirtation and...

Is that all it meant
to you, flirtation?

Of course, and that's
all it meant to you.

It suits you to say that now.

Oh, llona, for Pete's sake,

the worst I could have done
is to puncture your ego.

You compliment me.

Oh, why can't you be sensible?

We can still be friends

there's no use being
childish about this.

My humble apologies.

I won't be childish about this.

Fair hebe, bearer
of the vestal cup.

In other words, he
means, bring on the drinks.

Come on, everybody,
3 toast to the bride

what's the matter, Evelyn?

Scared Millard won't be promoted

to the sociology chairmanship?

Here's to the bride

oh, thank you.

And the groom.

To "superstition
vs reason and fact"

the book, of course,
and to the bride.

Oh, it's a bad omen
to clink glasses.

Oh, I never heard
of that one before

we don't believe in those
silly superstitions,

do we, Norman?

What an odd-looking medallion.

I always wear it.

My old nurse gave it to me.

She said it was a
good luck piece.

Yes, you'll read all
about it in my book.

That is, if you read my book.

But I have read it

you've even got the medallion
on the cover, haven't you?

That was Paula's idea

according to the islanders,

it's supposed to be very
powerful magic, isn't it?

Well, in a way
it is, yes, but...

Oh, Norman!

I suppose you know
that old Henry braggs

has gone to cornwall
tech as Dean

I did

I think he'll do a
fine job of it, too.

That leaves the sociology
chairmanship open.

Of course, Evelyn thinks that
Millard's got it all sewed up.

I don't anything of the sort.

It's just according
to seniority.

Oh, now, now, my dear...

Well, she's perfectly right.

You're right in line
for it, Millard.

Oh, fiddle-faddle.

Brains might be a factor, too.

Grace, you're incorrigible.

Don't you pay any
attention to her.

Is it something important?

Sure, it's important.

It's a leg up to bigger
and better things.

The schoolmaster has little
enough to look forward to.

If he passes up a chance at
advancement, he's a fool.

I hope you're not
married to a fool, Paula.

Now, my dear, here's
what we'll do tomorrow.

First, I'll show
you over the campus.

We have everything, from a
lover's Lane to a haunted house.

Then, I'll take you down...

Take it easy, Casanova.

That's a lot of territory
for a little guy

who gets a Charley horse

from reading the
football scores.

Some of the laughter

has gone out of her.

What is wrong?

Have I failed to help her
fit into her surroundings?

I've done everything
I could, and yet

she lied to me.

Good morning, professor.

Oh, hello.

This is a surprise.

What are you doing
here so early?

I came to talk over
a matter of business.

You don't mind discussing
business with me, do you?

Of course not.

You said we should be friends,
Norman, and you're right.

We both have to live in this
little island of culture,

and we might as well
be civilized about it.

Oh, I'd like nothing better.

Now, about this
matter of business.

Well, the student
employment registry

said that you'd asked
for Margaret Mercer

to do some work for you.

Yes, I did.

I had her do some research
for me about a year ago,

and she was very good.

Well, she's assisting
me in the library now.

I've trained her, and...

Oh, but this won't
take very long,

and she's familiar
with the work.

Well, that's what I
wanted to talk about.

I'm familiar with the work, too.

Let me help you.

Then Margaret's
routine won't be upset.

Thank you, llona, but, well,

I'll need someone who can
take shorthand rapidly.

Norman, you don't
have to be afraid of me.

Let me work with you.

Things don't have to be
any different, do they?

But they are different.

I'm married now

all right, so you're married.

I'll forgive you that.

If you want a little doll
that grew up in the jungle,

it's all right.

Can't I get it through your head

that I'm in love with my wife?

You were fond of me once

llona, you're out of your mind.

Maybe I am.

I don't care

I don't even care anymore
what people are saying.

Laughing at me.

Oh, stop it.

I never asked for such
devotion from you,

and I don't want it

now stop being melodramatic.

Get your things
together, Margaret.

You're going up in the world.

Oh, what do you mean, miss carr?

I'm lending you to professor
Reed, by special request.

You mean, he asked for me?

He wouldn't take
no for an answer.

Oh, that's wonderful.

Right away?

Oh, by all means, we mustn't
keep the professor waiting.

You might clear the desk first,
if it's not asking too much.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm so thrilled.

I'll take these books
out to the stack.

Oh, he's so brilliant.

There are some things I cleared
out of the vault for you.

He's so sweet and so considerate

and there's something
so dynamic about him.

I'd try to curb my
enthusiasm if I were you.

Men of the world
sometimes misunderstand

a pretty girl's hero-worship.

Hey, Maggie.

Maggie, I want to see you...

Not now, David, I'm busy.

Well, what's the big rush?

David, I'm going to work
for professor Reed again.

Isn't it wonderful?

Yeah, what's so
wonderful about it?

Well, he is, if you must know.

He's the most brilliant
man on the campus.

Present company
excepted, of course.

David, must you be
a dope all your life?

"Present company
excepted, of course."

Why, if you lived to be 1000

you'd never be able to
write a book like his.

You'll be lucky if you
can pronounce the words.

But, Maggie,

but, Maggie.

Bye.

Well, how do you like that?

Hello, David.

Oh, hello, miss carr.

Sorry, I guess I kind
of barged right in.

That's all right.

After all, you'll be hanging

around professor Reed's
office after today.

Say, what's she in
such a lather about?

What does she have to
go to work for him for?

Wasn't she doing all right here?

Well, she may do
even better there.

Besides, he asked for her.

Why?

Why not?

Sometimes a young and pretty
girl can be a great inspiration

to a mental giant
like professor Reed.

Well, she's my girl,
and he'd better keep

his hands off her

what a thing to say.

Are you taking his
course this term?

Yeah, he'll probably flunk me.

Maybe Margaret can put
in a good word for you.

You know, a woman's influence.

I'll manage for myself.

Reporting for duty, sir.

Oh, but I thought that you...

But didn't you expect me?

Why, miss carr said that
she couldn't spare you.

Oh, but you did ask for me?

Yes, I did.

Here, you go through the mail.

Oh, professor Reed,

you're really glad miss
carr changed her mind

and let me come, aren't you?

Of course.

A little surprised, but I
think you will be a great help.

Politics, that's all it is.

Politics

well, politics or not,

Norman Reed is certainly
the fair-haired boy

around here now

well, I don't know why.

I read his book, and I
don't think it's really

as good as Millard's.

Well, there's nothing like
having a little doll-faced wife

to spread around charm for you.

You don't think Norman's
getting all this recognition

because of Paula's
pretty face, do you?

It might have helped.

Look at the way my own brother,
the dignified Dean of men,

trots around after her

well, Septimus has
always fancied himself

a gallant with
the ladies, llona.

I don't like it

Paula's got him wrapped right
around her little finger.

And another thing, Evelyn,

that little doll-faced
wife of Norman's

is really a witch wife.

No

It's true

I've watched her

I have seen the little
things she does.

She told me herself
that the old nurse

who brought her
up on the islands

was a high priestess
of some sort.

Do you believe in
that sort of stuff?

I don't know, but she does.

And she's making
it work, isn't she?

This isn't Norman's
first year at Monroe.

He hasn't had this
kind of success before.

I believe she's in
the back of all this.

Evelyn, you've got to do something
to make her leave Monroe.

Leave Norman, if necessary.

If you don't, Millard
will never get

that sociology chairmanship.

She'll see to that.

She'd sacrifice everyone
just for the sake

of her precious Norman.

But Millard has
seniority over Norman.

He's studied for years.

His whole world is wrapped up
in his work, in advancement,

and I can't have it
crumble about him.

I can't

David, I wish you wouldn't
always be hanging around here.

Well, why not?

You used to like
my hanging around.

Shhh.

Suppose professor Reed came out

and saw you sprawling
all over the place.

A fine opinion he'd have of you.

Yeah, what difference
does it make?

He's probably gonna
flunk me anyway.

I should think he would

I understand you sleep
through half his lectures.

Well, perhaps I don't find
him quite as fascinating

as you do.

Well, if you must know,
being around a man like Norman

makes some sophomores
look pretty sophomoric.

So, it's Norman now.

Oh, I...

Margaret, I've made
the final changes.

This is the way it
goes to the digest,

for better or for worse

oh, it'll be for better.

It's the best of its
kind they'll ever get.

You know, I think I'll
make you my press agent.

What are you hugging
your cheek for?

Wonder boy kiss you?

David Jennings, how dare you.

It wouldn't surprise
me in the least.

I know these educated wolves

miss carr said you'd probably
be falling for him before...

I'm not interested
in what that jealous

old cat has to say.

And you can get out, too.

Now, go on!

Gee, Maggie, I'm sorry.

Oh, all right, so you're sorry.

Now, scram, will you?

I've got work to do.

I hardly know how to
begin, Dr. sawtelle.

You said, something important.

Indeed, it is.

You remember a student you
had named Gregory towne?

The one who died in midterm?

It's been years.

Towne, yes.

Gregory towne.

His thesis was
brilliant, wasn't it?

Yes

but never published.

No, never published.

Never,

never published.

You read

you know?

It isn't what I read or know

Norman Reed has
called for the thesis.

He found out we had a
copy in the library.

Reed?

He knows

that I used the thesis...

As a basis for your book.

Now, I don't know
how much he knows,

but he's definitely suspicious.

I only wanted to warn
you and to tell you

that I'll try to keep
it out of his hands

if I possibly can,

but unfortunately, there
may be other copies.

I didn't want to write a book

I didn't want to

I couldn't

but Evelyn, she pushed
me and pushed me.

She's ambitious.

And you remembered this
and used it as a reference.

As a reference,
yes, as a reference.

Naturally.

It's just a pity that Norman
Reed had to remember it, too.

You didn't tell?

I mean Evelyn, she
doesn't know about this?

Of course not.

I only wanted to put
you on your guard.

What shall I do?

Well, what he's
after, of course,

is to get you to
withdraw as a candidate

from the sociology chairmanship.

I'm afraid he might
use this as a club.

Oh, Evelyn wouldn't let me.

If I tried to, she'd
find out about this.

I'll be disgraced.

Every college will
hear about it.

And Evelyn, she'll despise me.

I know

it's enough to drive a man to,

to desperation,

to take any way out.

Norman, no!

The turban of a high priestess.

Sticks!

Stones!

Jungle gods!

You don't know
what you're doing!

I do!

Norman, no!

Nol

is this everything?

Everything.

You got that little silver
hand from the car cushions.

I can't think of any others.

Do you realize that
you've been turning

the hands of the clock

back to the dark ages?

Norman, some things don't
belong to any special age.

They're a part of
everything and of all time.

Forces for good and
forces for evil.

I did nothing to hurt anyone,

only to help you
and protect you.

Protect me from what?

You were in terrible danger.

[Lona carr is your enemy.

I know it

I had to build a wall of
safety between you and her.

Yes, I saw it.

Graveyard dirt around her

and nails pointing
toward her heart.

Oh, but only if she
tried to hurt you.

I haven't wanted to
harm anyone, Norman,

only bring you the
success you deserved.

And you saw how it worked.

The book, the prize,

and they've practically decided

on the sociology
chairmanship for you.

Did it ever dawn
on you that perhaps

I had earned my success?

Oh, yes, yes.

But we have enemies,

and they would have kept
you from what you've earned.

Paula, I'm a man of
reason, or I'm nothing.

What of my life's work
if I allow myself or you

to be enslaved by superstition?

It isn't superstition.

Laraua says...

Laraua, yes,

the high priestess
of kahuna Ana Ana.

You lived with her too long.

Now you're my wife.

You must trust me

Paula, I'm going to
burn these things.

That, too.

Come on, now.

Norman, don't despise me.

Despise you!

Not long ago I wrote that,

"man's struggle upward
from his dark past

"was the struggle of reason
against superstition."

And now here in my
own home, my own wife.

Poor, frightened,
strange little child.

Norman!

Evelyn, what happened?

Murderer!

Murderer!

Murderer!

Murderer, murderer, murderer!

Fine funeral

yes, it was.

I never saw Millard look better.

First time the poor
little guy didn't shrink

from the public gaze.

Too bad he didn't see
that snazzy little suit

you bought in his honor, llona.

Nothing is sacred
to you, is it, grace?

You might think of poor Evelyn.

Poor Evelyn drove him bats.

He was all right
till she married him

and tried to make him
swim out of his depth.

She kept saying we
killed him, Norman and I.

She was hysterical, I suppose.

I wonder what gave her the idea

that I was responsible
for his death?

Sounds as though he'd been
bewitched, doesn't it, Paula?

Where's your medallion?

I've never seen you
without it before.

Ilona, there's something
about your smile right now

that makes me think
of Jack the ripper.

Honestly, grace!

Norman, I'm frightened.

You don't know what you did
when you burned everything.

You left us at the
mercy of evils.

Paula, you've got to stop it.

You must break free of
these jungle superstitions.

I saw the medallion
crack in the flames.

The circle of
immunity was broken.

The next moment,
I heard the shots.

Coincidence.

What was that?

Oh, nothing.

L, I think we'd better be going.

I have to work tonight.

Hello.

Oh, hello, miss carr.

[, I kind of thought I
might find Margaret here.

She wasn't at the dorm.

Well, why don't you try
professor Reed's office?

I know he's working tonight.

Gee, you'd think that
guy was afraid of sunstroke

the way he works
after it gets dark.

Why, David, didn't
you know that the night

is the special domain
of great minds?

History is made at
night, they say.

Poetry is born at night.

Well, can't history and poetry

be born in the daytime, too?

Well, don't stand there
shouting at me, sir Galahad.

If you don't like it, why don't
you do something about it?

Well, I will!

Men have created words,

words to explain everything
they cannot understand.

Words like coincidence

to conceal their fears

oh, I'm sorry, professor.

Would you repeat
that last, please?

To conceal their fears

no, I don't want to say that.

What do I want to say?

I told Paula that
she must free herself

from those jungle superstitions.

What of myself?

Coincidence.

Why did I say that word?

Am I afraid?

Am I beginning to doubt
my own reason and logic?

Black magic.

Island witchcraft

voodoo rituals and nonsense.

Proven nonsense

don't try to work anymore.

I know you're upset
over what happened

to professor sawtelle.

Yes, I suppose so.

All those things
they're saying about you,

they're all lies.

What things?

Well, that you had something

to do with professor
sawtelle's death.

But whatever anyone else says,

I believe in you.

Well, thank you.

I was so thrilled
when you asked me

to come to work tonight.

When I knew you chose to be
here with me, rather than with,

well, with anyone else, I was,

well, I...

What are you talking about?

Haven't I got enough on my mind

without listening to this
romantic twaddle of yours?

Now, go on.

Get out of here.

Go home and don't let
me see you here again.

Maggie, darling, what's he done?

If he's done anything to
hurt you, I'll kill him.

I hate him.

I never want to see him
again, the philanderer.

Come on now, darling,
I'll take you home.

Oh, leave me alone.

I never want to see another
man as long as I live.

I must be losing my mind.

These things just don't happen.

What did you do to Margaret?

Do to Margaret?

You know what I'm talking about.

You've got plenty
of explaining to do.

Look, will you please go home?

I've had just about
all I can take.

Yeah, that's what you think.

Listen, you
psychopathic young fool.

Now, come on.

Get up!

Get out of here and stay out.

Yes?

Norman, it's Paula.

Something terrible has happened.

Paula!

Well, what is it?

Paula!

Paula!

Paula!

Paula.

Darling, what happened?

No, don't do that.

Why?

The death chant, Norman.

I heard it, I heard it.

Death chant?

What are you talking about?

You know what it means.

Someone is praying us to death.

That's pure imagination.

No, don't answer it.

Why not?

Because I'm afraid

there it is, Norman.

Make it stop, make it stop!

Paula!

Paula!

Listen to me.

Whoever is playing that
music is just trying

to frighten you.

If you don't fear
it, it means nothing.

If you do, it means
everything evil.

But I do fear it,
Norman, because it is evil.

Once I wasn't afraid
because we had protection.

But now, now...

Oh, honey, you're
gonna drive us both mad

with these foolish
superstitions of yours.

You've got to stop it.

Do you hear me, honey?

You've got to stop it.

Oh, no.

Why is this happening to me?

This is my home that is
filled with fear and shadows.

I'm a scientist,
but I'm not immune.

You can't be surrounded by
fear and not be infected.

Things piling up.

Sawtelle's death.

Then that girl, that
psychopathic boy.

Somebody terrifying
Paula with death chants.

Why?

Why?

From the moment I
burned the white magic.

From the moment the medallion
cracked in the fire.

I said it once in a lecture,

"man moves two steps
forward and one step back."

Maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe it's one step
forward and two steps back.

Hello, Norman.

Have you heard the news?

No

What news?

The board met yesterday
and invited hinshaw

of mid-state to
replace sawtelle.

And they offered him the
sociology chairmanship

as an inducement

well, that's fine.

Hinshaw's a good man.

Well, grace.

Hello, professor.

I can see by your face that
you know just why I'm here.

Yes, llona just
told me about hinshaw

oh, I know about that, too.

No, this is an entirely
different matter.

What now?

Who's been working for you...

Margaret Mercer?

Mmm-hmm

seems there's an adoring swain
who stands guard over her,

and he spread the news around

that you tried to take
advantage of little Nell.

Keep your shirt on.

The story got to llona
and she sent for the girl,

hoping, no doubt, to find
her worst fears confirmed.

It seems she wasn't
disappointed.

The girl is a neurotic.

I don't doubt it

and the boyfriend is
probably a half-wit.

But I'm Dean of women, and
this was dumped in my lap.

Besides, these things do happen.

Do they?

Sure, they do.

You may not think
it to look at me,

but I still have memories

that's better

now, just what did
happen, if anything?

I suddenly discovered
this little mooncalf

talking romantic nonsense.

I practically had to throw
her out of the office.

Mmm-hmm

a woman scorned again.

No wonder llona was sympathetic.

Well, I'll handle it.

Thanks, grace.

Save the orchids.

Norman, what is wrong
with you, anyway?

Surely it isn't just this
Margaret Mercer business?

I don't know

I really don't know.

It seems like I'm
beginning to crack up.

Here, here, you better
get a grip on yourself.

Go down to the gym.

Workout and a shower will
make you feel better.

Two steps forward,
one step back.

Two steps forward,
one step back.

Two steps forward,
one step back.

Drop that gun, Jennings.

Not this time.

Now it's my turn.

Just why do you want to kill me?

You know why.

Margaret and I were
getting along all right

till you came along
and broke us up.

You're a young fool.

You may think I'm a fool

'cause I can't
keep up in my work.

Well, how do you expect
me to keep up in my work,

thinking about you and Margaret?

You've ruined her life

you've ruined mine

Jennings”?

Jennings!

Jennings says professor
Reed beat him up.

Do you suppose he was
really interested in Margaret?

He was always asking
her to work nights.

First sawtelle, then Jennings.

There must be a jinx
on this college.

The jinx is on professor Reed.

If David dies, he'll
be charged with murder.

How does it feel to have
your husband in danger?

Not good, is it?

Better than having him dead.

Better than having
him kill himself.

Or don't you think so?

Only, Millard
didn't kill himself

it was murder

no

Your husband drove him
to take his own life.

Your husband is a murderer.

No!

No, no!

That's what you did to him.

You and your child's face
and your black heart.

That isn't true!

How can you say such
terrible things?

It is true!

Until you came here, Monroe
was a safe and decent place.

Norman was a decent man

and then he brought
you from the jungle.

You talk as though I
were some strange creature

that he captured.

You're a witch

llona says you are.

And she's right.

Ilona hates me.

And why not?

She's the woman Norman
should have married

and then you bewitched him.

He killed my husband
just as surely

as if he'd fired the shots

that's a lie!

And now the boy, Jennings.

Maybe he'll die.

Do you know what that means?

Your husband will
be twice a murderer.

Stop it, stop it!

Why don't you go back?

Why don't you go
back to the jungle?

Go back!

Go back, go back!

Go back to the jungle
where you belong.

You've got to go back, Paula.

You don't belong here.

You're a witch

go back!

Go back, go back, go back.

You've brought nothing
but tragedy to Monroe.

You must go back.

Answer that phone.

Answer it

answer it

hello?

Thank you, grace.

What for, you dope?

Any professional bail bondsman
could have done as much.

Besides, the kid's
still alive, isn't he?

Yes, but I'm very grateful.

Good night.

What are you doing here?

Where is my wife?

Let go of me, you murderer.

Where is Paula?

In there

Paula!

That's the way I found
Millard, only he was dying.

Norman

Norman, take me away from here.

I'm afraid

there's nothing to
be afraid of, honey.

Yes, there is.

This house is full of
it, something evil.

Evil, yes, it's you.

Don't!

Why are you terrorizing my wife?

She's got to get out of here.

Away from Monroe.

She's brought nothing but
death and destruction

Paula never hurt
any living thing.

She's a witch.

She made you drive my
husband to his death

so you could get ahead faster.

You're both murderers

I've had enough of this.

Exactly what do you mean?

You tried to get that old thesis

by Gregory towne
from the library

so you could prove Millard
stole it to write his book.

But llona warned him.

He knew you'd expose him.

And he couldn't stand
it, the disgrace.

He told me so the night he died.

I never saw any thesis.

I had no idea that

Millard hadn't written
every word of his book.

Why didn't you tell
me this before?

You would have spread
it all over town.

Ilona said you would.

Ilona

oh, so llona warned him.

Ilona's back of all of this

no!

It's Paula, with her witchcraft
and her island magic.

You're wrong.

Can't you understand?

Ilona planted the fear
of disgrace with Millard,

led you to believe that Paula

and I were responsible
for his death

she poisoned the minds
of Margaret Mercer

and David Jennings.

This whole tragic scheme
of things points toward

no one but llona.

No one but llona!

No, don't answer it.

It's the death prayer music.

What do you know
about this music

that comes over the telephone?

This death chant?

[Lona found out about
it from your book.

She had some records made

so she could frighten
Paula into leaving.

Did you hear that?

Now we know who our enemy is.

Now we know whom to fight.

Answer it

you've got to overcome
this horrible fear.

Won't you please try?

Hello?

Yes, llona.

Oh.

What did she say?

David Jennings just died.

Oh, Norman, when you
burned everything,

you left us helpless.

The forces of evil
are still at work.

Yes, but now it's evil
that we can understand.

We know how to combat

Evelyn, I have to prove
that David Jennings

came to the gymnasium
intending to kill me.

If I can't, I'll be charged
with manslaughter or murder.

Will you help me?

What's happened,

getting me out in the
middle of the night?

I had to talk to you.

I ook out

there it 1s.

Don't move

What on farth is it?

Where did it come from?

I don't know

that's what makes
it so terrifying.

I had this dream

what dream?

Millard came and stood over me.

He looked dreadful,
black as a storm.

I never saw him look
like that before.

He said, "I am dead
because a woman lied"

"a woman lied"

"a woman lied"

llona, I never lied to Millard.

I drove him too hard, I know
that now, but I never lied.

This thing, it's voodoo.

Ilona, he said the woman
who killed him must confess.

Nobody killed him.

He killed himself

but he kept saying he did
it because a woman lied.

Ilona, he can't mean me, can he?

Can he?

How do I know?

He said she must
confess, or she will die.

Oh, you're crazy.

Soon, he said, soon.

In 13 days, one
minute after midnight.

All this time, standing over
me, he said these things.

Nightmares.

Then all of a sudden, he had
this horrible little figure

in his hand,

just like this one.

He said, "this is
the woman who lied"

then he took the thread
and he wrapped it

around the thing's throat,

and he pulled it tight.

Then he pressed one of
the tacks into its head.

Then he started to move away,

and he said, "go down
and you will see."

And I came down,
and there it was.

The same thing
that Millard held.

It's insane

imagination.

This isn't imagination.

This is the woman who lied

this is the woman
who's going to die.

It's here in front of us

burn this thing.

I'm afraid!

Afraid

"The woman who lied," he said.

I didn't lie

"in 13 days," he said.

"The woman who lied..."

Stop that, stop that!

The Monroe college
student body will be excused

from classes tomorrow

to attend the funeral
of David Jennings,

who died yesterday morning
from a gunshot wound received...

No one knows
how long this may last.

So take advantage
of this new offer,

and remember, only eight
more days left to get your...

Miss carr, I'd like to ask
you about the reference cards.

Don't do that!

Five,

four,

three,

two

one.

One, one, one.

Why do you hate me?

Why did you kill David?

Why did you kill Millard?

- One.
- Why did you kill Millard?

- One.
- Why did you kill David?

One.

Llona, what's the matter?

Septimus, I'm dying.

They're driving nails into
my head, and I can't breathe.

It's getting
tighter and tighter.

Hush, dear, you've
just had a nightmare.

I'm dying, I tell you!

Shall I call a doctor?

I don't want a doctor.

Get me to Evelyn
sawtelle, quick!

Now, now, now.

Now try and relax.

I'll get the doctor.

Who is it?

Evelyn, you've got to help me.

I've been expecting you.

I'm dying, Evelyn.

You've got to give
me that figure.

Why?

Only the woman who
lied is in danger.

The woman who killed Millard

she will die one minute
after midnight, he said.

One minute after midnight.

Where is it, Evelyn?

It's an evil thing.

Where is it?

Don't let it kill me

don't, don't.

It was I who lied

then it was you
who killed Millard,

frightened him with
your lying tongue

into taking his own life.

Yes

now give it to me.

And David Jennings.

You killed him

no

You filled his jealous
mind with your lies, too.

You knew he'd make an attempt
on Norman Reed's life.

All right, yes, I did.

With my lies.

Now give it to me.

Give it to me!

Why, it's only ashes.

It's been ashes ever
since the first time

you saw it, llona.

You're a victim
of your own fears.

We heard what you said about
David and professor sawtelle.

You.

You tricked me

your guilty
conscience tricked you.

You tricked me!

Llona.

Ilona!

One minute past midnight.

And she's dead, strangled.

Just like the dream I told her.

Only there was no dream,
just a fantastic story.

It's a bright new day, Paula.

We'll forget all our
fears and start fresh.

You know, all of the magic
that you or anyone else needs

is a generous heart
and a steady mind.

Paula, will you try
to believe that?

Yes, Norman.

Are you happy?
