[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

all down through the ages certain people

have been said to possess

certain strange magical mysterious

powers

some of those it is said had powers for

good

and they were venerated others said

they had black powers they were feared

and despised

some of those who were thought to have

these black powers were called witches

and warlocks

they'd summon demons make all sorts of

magical potions

even call down curses upon people and

specific objects

even whole towns began to feel and fear

the effects of curses

people began to be terrified by witches

even potential witches

they were afraid of any curse from any

source

[Music]

eventually fear turned to violence

people became more afraid of curses than

the physical person of the witch of the

warlock

if someone died strangely he was said to

have

died of a curse crop failures plagues

everything that went wrong a curse was

blamed

people thought that if a curse was put

upon a person that curse would last till

that person

died or if a curse was put upon an

object

that curse would last as long as that

object was in existence

unless it was specifically revoked

people lived in abject fear and finally

one brave man

rallied his town's people and turned on

a witch

violence spread everywhere witches and

suspected witches were set upon and

burned

the hysterical witch hunt spread to

america

where hundreds of people were burned by

the fear crazed mobs

even innocent old men and women who

would never harm anyone

unable to reason with the people

met the same horrible death some

shouting their innocence

some screaming implications and

obscenities and threats of eternal

revenge

and some historically and calmly and

strangely silently

meeting their end one of those who was

burned at the stake

was a real witch let me tell you the

story

of the witch's clock

this is your last chance mrs farrell are

you still willing to relinquish the

comfort and security of a modern

manhattan apartment

for the roughing wilds of

massachusetts think well before you

answer

how are you

well i think a matter of due thought

i've decided that i must stay by the

side of my unworthy husband

where he goes i go well said mrs farrell

your husband must be a very lucky man

i'm a lucky girl

oh bob this furniture is marvelous all

antiques the agent said

doesn't the history of this old place

seem to reach out and touch you

i feel as though we step back in time

200 years

it's only the dust and smell of age in a

couple of days we'll have the place all

layered out

it'll be better than any apartment on

the island could ever be

is there a dungeon yes down there

nothing in it though but some junk and

more dust

show me i want to see it come on please

very well your wish is my command

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Applause]

century lumber and rags

oh wait a minute maybe some of the first

pilgrims used some of these things

maybe miles standish it's just junk

julie

oh we might get a few bucks out of it

out of that town down the road

i suppose you're right i know i'm right

i mean this stuff isn't exactly fifth

avenue quality after two centuries

wait a minute bob i found something

what is it it looks like it's

a peculiar thing

[Music]

i've never seen a clock like that before

i don't blame whoever owned it hiding it

away like that

but it would go perfectly in the main

room dear

please it's really very pretty once you

get used to it

all right mrs farrell you went again

one grandfather clock coming up

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

so stately and majestic it was made for

this corner

just a handyman come on let's get this

place cleaned up

getting hungry

that no no you don't have the curse you

so

did the agent say why that young couple

they just left that's all look

we got this place at a terrific bargain

so don't

borrow trouble i was just wondering

don't

you haven't the brain form you have the

rainforest

isn't that a beautiful clock i just love

clocks

oh sorry to disturb you i'm afraid you

didn't hear my mark

i'm looking for the mailer family

many stories have been written are

creatures of darkness and brotherhoods

of evil

these tales have been influenced by

european folklore handed down through

the ages and telling you

creatures roaming in the woods at night

half man half beast

preying on the toms people the simple

people of a few generations ago

if they heard of a mutilated body found

near their village

would run home gather their families to

them and securely lock their doors

various things were used to exercise

these evil creatures

such as holy symbols certain herbs

and a few metals we have more modern

times with our better educations

communications and police forces are

inclined to scoff

at things we do not understand if

mutilated bodies were found today

the police would quickly track down the

killer by consideration of

motivation opportunity and means

we insist that such a deed must have

been done by human hand

not inhuman all these old tales had

these

creatures of darkness to be a

brute-minded lot

slaves to the dark powers and possessed

them

however as the average citizen became

better able to protect himself and

family the number of these demonic

creatures dwindled

until only the most clever were able to

survive

it was a case of keep your wits about

your perish

here is a story of one such dog creature

who kept up with the times i call it

king

vampire

[Music]

well she's the 13th hunt your wounds on

the neck and

left to the rest and you have no idea

who's behind it oh could be anyone

we haven't a clue as to who or where or

why

but there must be a pattern no

just killing girls you know the

newspapers have the main form

king vampire look here this is where the

girl's body was found this morning

over here the one before here another

and another see there's no path

then we're obviously dealing with the

madness

no we like us to think that but actually

it's quite the opposite

now even mad men commit their crimes in

an obvious pattern of

time and place but this murder

is worse than a madman he's shockingly

sane

with the cruelest most cunning criminal

mind i've ever encountered

it's almost as though he knows every

move before we do

well all i can say is we'd better get

cracking and catch this

king vampire fellow but we'll soon be

out of our jobs

yes you don't know how right you are you

know all of london's in a turmoil about

these murders

people are beginning to ask questions

they want to know what we're going to do

about it

the embarrassing thing is that we don't

know what we're going to do

you haven't been able to find a single

clue at any of the scenes of the crime

none the people in that area thieves

gutter scum a lot of them

they just assume see us dead and

helpless

[Music]

well i don't suppose it would hurt to

give it another try

uh where was that last girl murdered who

were

just outside onesie lane but you take

care

they're a rough lot it won't be lame

right

[Music]

[Music]

one last night carpet was just here

we're not too fond of the way they're

handling the situation

we don't like strangers around here who

are you

my name is john brenner i'm a detective

i don't believe you

well i've got papers to prove it if you

like what good are papers to the likes

of us

we can't read a letter oh you are

trusting a lot aren't you

not when there's a vampire about well

that's why i'm here

i've come to help the law is no oil to

the likes of us

we don't need you you need me more than

you know

all right search all you like

you'll find nothing king vampires

clever that way

well thank you now tell me

who here has seen the face of the murder

who can tell me what he

what he looks like

i said who can tell me what he looks

like

surely one of you has caught at least a

fleeting glimpse of him

yeah i've seen him speak up

what did you see well the same as

everyone else

he's a slight man all dressed in black

like an undertaker he is with his ad all

pulled down over his face no

always a terrible sight he is that's for

sure

why didn't you tell this to the officer

before well i wouldn't be telling it now

but it was my sister he done in last

night oh

i'm sorry well thank you very much don't

thank me

i wasn't doing it to help you

and he was brave enough to step forward

why are you afraid

tell me who has seen the face of the

family

who has seen king vampire's face

but all i want to do is help them do

they enjoy living in

fear of the night would you

be willing to find the vampire if you

knew that

your brother or your father or your

sweetheart

no mr brother they are not afraid of the

vampire

they afraid of themselves

but you don't appear to be frightened

perhaps you can help me

yes i can help you i've seen the man

you're looking for

i only got a glance off his face

as he ran past

but the look of it will never leave me

eyes

[Music]

with a little death

i've seen many a deadman sir and

all have had more life in the flesh than

the vampires

for his features they were hidden in the

darkness

and the happy war look for a man with

the face of a corpse

and you'll find your vampire

thank you mrs oh say o'shea

and i promise i'll do my best to

rid london of this monster thank you

again

goodbye goodbye mr broner i wish you

[Music]

luck

luck is finally with us inspector i have

a description of the vampire

what no i can't believe it oh just wait

a moment

uh miss park would you please stop what

you're doing there be prepared fake

dictation

yes sir all right john what have you

learned take this down

well first off i discovered the people

of wellesley lane to be quite hostile as

to what we're doing

as you said they're becoming restless

and potentially dangerous to themselves

but upon questioning a kindly old woman

mrs o'shea was brave enough to step

forward and describe the murder

and the description she gave was not a

pleasant one i must say

she said he appeared to be rather

[Music]

why it's mrs o'shea like all the rest

how does this man know the one woman

that might have been able to help i'll

find a lot of good you didn't protecting

her

how do you expect help from us when all

we get in return is that

listen she'd be alive right now if you

fools would get out of your shells and

go after this monster

we can't do it alone we need your help

what are you waiting for

your wives and your daughters to be

picked up off the street

the result of this being you better make

up your mind

and make it up now can't you see

inspector

they hate us more than king baptized yes

we just needed time to catch the killer

ourselves

what do you mean i mean we caught your

vampire

without any help from the police you

can't do it what's going on

why it's judgment day matey what you

want with me

these people preferred very serious

charges against you want to know where

you were last night

oh well i was right here you're a liar

you were out killing old ladies whack

you

i didn't know where you were last night

nobody's going to hurt you but we must

have the truth

i was right here i take a walk through

the park every night what do you think

brother

well he he does fit the description and

this is a shay gave them the maker

king backfire king to tell me

how do you believe he's a murderer

you're after

uh i i i know it looks bad

but i i killed a dog a mad dog certainly

you're not only a murderer and vampire

but you're a sniveling coward

you'll kill poor mrs ashay and all the

others you drain their blood and let

them hear for us to find and now you're

going to pay for your crops

you can't take the law of your own

[Applause]

[Music]

well now we'll never know whether that

was the man we were really after

good morning inspector how are things

going no not very well i'm afraid

i've been three more murders since that

man was beaten to death

three more yes you remember he swore

that he killed a dog

but he was telling the truth we just

took a test on his gloves

then who is king vampire i only wish i

knew

we've taken in every possible suspect

that fits this description

still no luck king vampire is as

slippery as he is coming

say i just got a funny idea

i'm really not in the mood for funny

ideas john no but suppose

king vampire isn't the king at all

no you're not making sense well that's

what we've been wrong

where everybody's been wrong the vampire

is not a man

he's a woman that would account for the

uh slight figure

well don't you see it i must admit i've

never given it a moment's spot

but oh no no it's incredible

no woman could commit such heinous

crimes i suppose you're right

just a funny idea of mine oh by the way

i

stopped by to tell you that i've been

reassigned to another case i'm afraid i

have to leave you

oh i'm sorry to hear that john you've

been a great help to me

i've appreciated goodbye good luck and i

hope we meet again under

happier services well thank you

inspector i'm

i'm just sorry i can't stay around to

help you catch king vampire

but i'm sure you'll be done with it

shortly and uh goodbye to you ms clark

a woman

[Music]

no no it's too incredible i agree

inspector

it's simply too impossible yes still i

have a feeling we'll never know for

certain now

and history will probably record that

king vampire

turned out to be a large embarrassing

question

mark well where were we miss clark

possible means of capturing

the vampire

in the days when zombies werewolves and

other monsters roamed wild

stalking their victims over the face of

the earth

everyone was afraid of the unknown they

were called the undead

a dedicated scientist who some called

mad

wish to rid the earth of this evil curse

he was aware of the terrible danger but

he was willing to take the risk in order

to understand the workings of these

creatures

he hoped to work out a formula that

would remove the curses placed upon them

and permit their tormented souls to rest

in peace

the people the surrounding countryside

heard weird screams and strange noises

in the night

open graves frightened them more no one

would go to such places for any reason

but the scientist was not afraid he was

submerged in his work

but he began to lose the sense of values

we all have

he lost his original ideas and swung

around to a new one

why not try to find the tiny spark of

life

that gives these long dead creatures

their energy

the brute force they could summon with

it was awesome to behold

if one could isolate the spark

give it to a live human it would give

great strength

long life and good health the problem

then

was to isolate this motive power apply

it to a dead person

study it and give the results to the

world

let me tell you the story of

the monster raid

can you hear me master it is i

desmond i have come for you

if you can hear me knock three times

[Music]

good old jasmine

i knew i could rely on you to help me

push hard on the lip master push

[Music]

push

um

have a coach waiting master

help me desmond

it is hard to control these decaying

limbs and muscles

how well i remember this road

it is the way to my home

i remember each turn

every rut every

[Music]

and the waiting arms of my faithful

loving wife

yes i can still

picture her as she was the day before

she and darkness of art

ended my life

[Music]

dr and mrs spalding are waiting for you

in the laboratory

dr savard

after years of experimenting i've

finally broken the barrier

with this chemical and hypnosis

and the mysteries of the cellular memory

secret to the human mind james

how fortunate you're just in time to

hear charles latest theory

james this is fantastic i've been

conducting certain experiments with

chicks

using just the injection alone now i i

built a

a simulated barnyard now chicks never

saw their mothers i made sure of this

then with a piece of paper i cast a

shadow over the barnyard turned one way

it cast the shadow of a circle now when

the

shadow of the circle was passed around

them nothing happened

well but turning it the other way it

casts the shadow of a hawk

upon seeing this the chicks immediately

scurried for their coups

amazing what i really came for

i wanted to invite you to a party at my

chateau a very small

few intimate friends you will come gee

i'm

sorry james i i can't leave my

experiments

oh but you can go though helen the

change will do you good

oh are you sure it'll be all right dear

well of course

darling and look you go in and enjoy

yourself

well charleston i'm sorry that you won't

be coming

i was hoping to hear more details about

your work

however i'll stop by some other time

i'll send the carriage for you at eight

teller

that's wonderful james i'll see you out

desmond might be with an ear shot

he's always looking around somewhere in

the shadows

when i take you away from all this

you'll no longer have to worry about

desmond or charles either

charles will have his work desmond will

have charles

we will have each other sometimes i

wonder about your intentions james

do you really love me what nonsense

of course i love you though is something

bothering you

i think you're just using me as a pawn

to find out everything charles knows

of course what he knows is important

important to both of us

after all i must be familiar with what

will soon be ours

yes

i must leave you now i'll see you later

tonight

goodbye dear james until tonight

yes dear

loving heaven

little did i realize then that you

and james planned to kill me

i remember the day quite well

well enough for it to will me

back from the grave

faster desmond faster

[Music]

my love my faithful

love awaits my swift

return

these notes are amazing charles

the medical council of geneva is certain

to recognize you

at their next meeting well perhaps but

the most complex of

my experiments is yet to be tried

i was wondering james would you

consent to letting me try my theory out

on you

then we could together uh show our

triumph to the board of geneva

would you do it i'm a little hesitant

about uh

acting as a guinea pig for you charles

after all it would be an added factor if

i could assist you

couldn't we use someone else what about

desmond

no no not desmond

well someone else perhaps yeah i wish it

were you

i did not realize then why

james didn't wish me to use my

performance

on him

but i realized it soon afterwards

to unlock his mind

would be to unlock his secret

his and helen's

secret

oh yes desmond what is it well what is

it i'm very busy

sir i don't know how to say this but uh

well come on come on now out with the

desert

what's bothering you well sir i've been

with you for many years

long before you brought her here as your

wife

what are you trying to say and what does

helen have to do with it sir

she and dr savard are carrying on behind

your back terrible it is sir terrible

helen having an affair with the

james oh no that's preposterous it can't

be

mark my word sir i saw it with my own

eyes

i suspected it for some time all right

out with it all of it what do you know

well sir i heard them talking they were

very lovey

talking about how they were going to do

you in and take credit for your

discovery

desmond you've been loyal to me for many

years

i've suspected something for a long time

i

i just couldn't face it

oh helen dear what are you doing here i

thought you were hated to laugh oh i

i just thought i'd help you with your

notes

i'll take care of that dear i i'll

attend to it later

uh if you want to though you may tell

james

that i need him here right now

well are you ready to proceed charles

who have you chosen for the subject for

the experiment

you're uh going to use it on me james

oh

[Music]

yes

i decide to have the experiment

performed on myself

i foolishly believe that it could

do me no harm

i was familiar with all the principles

of my form

no one could completely hypnotize

me against my will

i could only benefit

by it

and my mind would be far

superior after the

injection then

i could decide how to deal

i watched doctor savage

every move

for so by far

[Music]

[Music]

so

well child this is it are you ready

[Music]

he had secretly concentrated my

formula to many times its normal

[Music]

strength

[Music]

is is he dead he looks like it

no not yet but to all parents as he is

but i thought he'd be dead when this was

over

we'll be dead when we bury him

have the desmond handle the details

sooner we bury him the better at least

no one will doubt it he's been working

very hard

oh james now we can start life over

together

we'll really live what we're james

oh yes darling with the fame uh

recognition we'll get from these

experiments where

we'll be able to live in any manner we'd

like

yes they buried me my faithful wife

dressed in black

the lack of tears hidden by a heavy veil

and my good friend dr savard who

conveniently signed my death certificate

standing by her side in deep sympathy

they did not realize that the highly

concentrated injection of my formula

had placed me in a state of suspended

animation

and had preserved my brain heart and

lungs long after the exterior of my body

had begun to rot and decay

and yield to the elements but faithful

desmond came

for me as i knew he would i wonder

if dear helen will recognize me

james has used mia just as i told him

long ago

i was so foolish to believe him

i see less of him than i did of charles

[Music]

[Applause]

that's last master we should have our

[Music]

revenge

please don't try to escape desmond has

already set

fire to all the exits

hello darling it's your lovely

husband charles will

be together forever

medical knowledge has always been a

fascinating subject

it took ages to learn each single secret

and mystery of the human body even now

there are many secrets

take ages more before the last one is

resolved perhaps it never will be

many hoped for steps forward and turned

out to be not at all what the

researchers wanted

some were disastrous some were greatly

beneficial to mankind but these were

very few

in the great majority of experiments

simply nothing was learned

but the medical men keep trying hoping

to solve the riddles

most of the knowledge has come down to

us have been gained by

thousands of hours of patient research

by dedicated men and women

some of the great discoveries have been

quite by accident

researchers weren't even looking for the

results they found

[Music]

subjects to study have always been hard

to come by

the fear of disturbing the human body

after death was always present

those who would learn have been forced

to use whatever was available

let us turn now to the scotland of the

mid-1800s

when grave robbery was the common source

of supply for the medical schools

we shall follow the lesson of the

medical students

as they discover the spark of life

[Music]

oh come in

oh mr cushy doctor mr cedric

i invited you here today because of your

tremendous interest in yesterday's

lecture

it seemed to me that you had further

questions to present

if so what are they as i remember doctor

you said that electricity was the

primary force of life

yes i uh had a colleague at hamburg

university

he had elaborate theories about that

well can you tell us more about that

well all i know is that he said he could

bring the dead to life

with electricity did he succeed no

they threw him out and all of his

research papers were burned

what was his name baron eric von

frankenstein

but where is he now oh no one knows he

gave up his practice and just

disappeared but wait i'll show you how

dr frankenstein

started all these theories

now watch closely

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

apply a simple electrical stimulus to

the forearm

the muscles contract and the hand closes

but my theory is if you apply enough

electrical stimulus over the entire body

for a certain length of time

it will rejuvenate the dead cells and

muscles

and the dead will live again

[Music]

hello

oh yeah well i'll be right along

right right

i'm sorry gentlemen i must leave but you

stay here and study

ponder the question life is electrical

by nature

but is electricity life

well that was all pretty dull is

electricity life oh really

so yeah i've got an idea what's that

cushion

well a way to have some fun come on

let's hear it

shall we bring him back to life

say that's a brilliant idea why not

won't you be surprised i should think so

sure why don't we give it a try all

right all right but uh uh

where can we work on him hey how about

the old lab in the back nobody uses it

anymore

we could go there after classes nobody

would see it okay

onward

oh it's dr mendel must be in there look

you be quiet let me do the talking

what are you gentlemen doing with that

cadaver uh we're just about to consult

you on a new project sir

a new project well i'm always glad to

hear that my students are trying to

further their knowledge

uh we knew you would be sir well yes

well the point is we were so inspired by

your last

lecture that well what we said oh yes

sir very

very inspiring documentary that we

decided to do

some research on our own well that's

wonderful

i'm always glad to hear that my students

are taking a real interest in science

going to delve into its mysteries try to

unravel its secrets

gentlemen they well would you mind if i

joined you in the project

oh we'd be happy to have you sir thank

you uh now exactly what is it

well we want to bring him back to life

what did you say

how did you think of such a thing we

want to utilize your theory of uh

electrobiological resuscitation

you always wanted an opportunity to test

it

a chance to prove my theory

gentlemen i i'm proud of you i'm so

pleased that i give you my wholehearted

endorsement

well thanks thank you very good

well don't just stand there let's begin

right now if you don't stand in the way

of research you know

what's that doctor my equipment i'll

show you how it operates

a rubber mat yes

repair is on yes sir

thank you

i like to careful

[Music]

uh

[Music]

don't be too alarmed boy that was just

an electrical charge to the muscles

but as i told you my theory is with a

sufficient electrical charge through the

entire body

the dead cells will be rejuvenated and

life

will be restored you mean you think you

can

actually bring back the dead this way

that is my theory

if the body is undamaged at death

well excuse me gentlemen lectures you

know but i'll return as soon as classes

are over

he sure gave me a hell of a scare

yeah me too i wonder if this is such a

good idea

oh don't be silly sure it is he he

couldn't possibly come back to life

i don't know all i know is i'm beginning

to yearn for those stale

classroom lectures this isn't quite as

entertaining as i thought it would be

well we can't back down now

we're in too deep yeah and whose bright

idea was it to get dr

mendel mixed up in this anyway well i

didn't have much

choice did i anyway uh

after old mendel makes a fool out of

himself trying to bring his body back to

life we'll all have a big lap

and call the whole thing off and no one

will be the wiser

okay okay

he isn't uh really going to do it is he

i mean

well you know fooling around with a

corpse this way what if the police find

out don't be quiet they aren't have to

find out anything

nothing's going to happen

stand by that switch you assist me

please

yes sir now watch closely

[Music]

give me more answers

[Music]

patience i said

well

i guess it isn't going to work

i guess my theory wasn't feasible

i guess it wasn't meant by the faith for

me to succeed

but i was so sure it could be done

well cheer up doctor you've tested your

theory

and it just didn't work that's all

my series it's a success i i'm a genius

do you know what i mean

you can't possibly be alive

[Music]

but i am

as you can see thank you for

returning me to the realm of the living

tell me what's your name

amos duncan

at your service gentlemen

you were uh executed for

for murder weren't you that's

correct you you killed three people with

a knife

correct again but

i was caught and executed but

now i shall have my revenge

documentary

now listen this guy is dangerous

we can't have him leaving here how would

we explain it yes and the police

what'll happen to us oh but my career

i'll be ruined

we can't say that we brought him back to

life as a laboratory experiment oh no of

course not it's too

too fantastic right

we've got to get rid of it you

can't mean what i think you mean oh no

no

you couldn't do that then it'd be murder

why would it

we gave him life we just simply take it

back again that's all

no no i won't have anything to do with

it i i agree with dr metal we just we

just can't

kill him be realistic he's just an

experiment

nothing more this way

no one will ever know

well i guess you're right

he has to go

yeah i guess so good and it's settled

he mustn't leave this room alive

but who's going to do it

whoever the knife points to

agree agreed

oh no i i won't do it i just can't do it

i tell you either you do it or you'll

ruin all our lives

your career won't be worth a plug nickel

if he escapes

all right look

good now i know you want to be

left for love

get it over with as quickly as you can

remember it's all for the better

come on section

what was that

all about you wouldn't understand them

[Music]

i hate to do the same there's no

alternative

it must be done what must

be done

what do you have there i'm sorry old man

sorry sorry

well he's dead all right dead as a

doornail

looks like old mendel came through for

us we owe him a lot he sure got us out

of a tight spot

yes sir i don't mind telling you i was i

was pretty scared

just knowing he is nothing around is a

big load off my mind

well shall we take one last look at

aimless duncan deceased

i'm all right

[Music]

shadows of old folk tales one story

stands out above all others

it concerns frightened people huddled

about their fires

not daring to venture forth after dark

cowering in fear

of the vampire a horrible creature

feasted upon the blood of living humans

these unfortunate beings were doomed by

the mark of the vampire to roam

eternally

and spread the evil ever whiter the only

way to stop them is to track each one

to his coffin lair where he must remain

during the light of day

and to drive a stake through his heart

once freed in this manner they were able

to rest in peace there were hundreds of

such creatures

roaming about each suit with a new

melody

and a strange power such as ghouls

werewolves witches and warlocks gnomes

trolls cobalts etc

hundreds of them teamed through these

old tales the list of such creatures is

a very long one

if a person had to go out at night he

had to be a very brave person or a very

foolish one

who could know just what might pop out

from around the corner

what horrible creature might spring one

out of the shadows

i shall part the mist

[Music]

lighten the shadow and tell you the

story

of count holocard

[Music]

[Music]

good let us make haste i wish to arrive

there before nightfall i regret i cannot

fulfill your request for such eagerness

this is as far as i go driver you were

paid to take me to the castle

not halfway i must insist you do so at

once with all due respect

perhaps if you understood the situation

situation what situation the shroud of

darkness that surrounds the count's

castle is no illusion

this is the cloak of the undead nonsense

no here hacker i speak the truth the

castle itself is evil

a living evil none in my village will go

near the castle

i have no time for your local

superstitions

however you seem serious i am

a stranger here

if i had time i would offer you a

rational explanation that

i'm sure would satisfy you however

since you refuse to take me further i'll

proceed alone

you must go a word of warning

and the clock strikes midnight and

doesn't dare go out

[Applause]

[Applause]
