"Satan Exists, Confirms the Pope."

Satan exists because evil exists.

Professor Carlos Vasallo, a recognized authority

on the subjects of Satanism,

the occult and voodoo,

worked closely with the writer and director

during the development and shooting of this film

to ensure the accuracy and authenticity

of the various rituals and incantations.

The argument for Professor Vasallo's statement

is really very simple.

He explains it as a theory of opposites.

For example,

just as matter exists so does its opposite, anti-matter.

The air we breathe

is a mixture of positive ions and negative ions.

The energy around us

and also that which we generate ourselves

is part positive and part negative.

And so to the less tangible but perfectly feasible example

good and bad, God and Satan.

This last example presented man with a choice.

The choice of either living

by the forces of good or of evil.

And history has shown that many have chosen the latter

and have become Satan's disciples. Every year thousands of black masses have performed

rituals that invariably include unnatural sexual acts

and the sacrifice of both animals and human beings.

These rituals have been practiced for hundreds of years

and it would be foolish of us to ignore them

or to claim that the forces they generate

are simply a figment of the imagination.

There are too many documented examples of occurrences

that could only have been caused by forces

that are far beyond the normal capabilities of man.

We must assume therefore

that the forces generated by any occult ritual

black or white, come from the beyond

and in the case of a black mass, from Satan.

- Another no answer.

Seems like the whole world is out today.

- But it's a holiday.

They're all out polluting the freeways.

Did you call Harry?

He and Barbara might still be around.

- If they are, they're still in the sack.

- So what interrupt his then.

And, if they're not home we can go someplace on our own.

Okay Blackie.

How about we take Blackie for a run in the park?

And after we can go dancing.

I don't wanna stay in today.

- Neither do I honey

but there's no way we're going dancing.

We're not risking losing this little fella.

- Yeah, how old is he now?

Four months tomorrow and getting bigger.

- You just can't wait, can you?

- Good afternoon.

- Hi there.

- Annie.

- What?

- Do you know those guys?

- Who?

- Them.

- Hi there. - Hi.

- Come on Blackie.

Take it easy.

- Andy who are they?

- No idea, don't ask me.

- Hey there, Andy

- Seems like he knows you, all right.

Blackie, it's okay, be quiet.

- Hey Andy.

Don't tell me that you've forgotten me, please.

- I'm sorry but I...

- Bruno Debray.

How could you have forgotten?

And this is my wife, Mary.

Nice to meet you. - How are you?

- You're married as well

old buddy? - Sure am

This is Annie.

- It's okay, I don't bite.

How you doing Annie?

- I'm fine. - I'm afraid Andy

has lost his memory.

- Hello Annie, how you doing?

- Great thanks.

- Hey, it's sure been a while.

You look the same as you did old buddy.

Time's treated you pretty well.

It's amazing,

the last time I saw you you were no more than that high.

- In college was it?

- Yeah right.

I had Matthews, I was in C while you were in B

but we had one class together with Frank Bradshaw.

- Frank Bradshaw never taught classes, he was the dean.

- Hey, come on Andy.

He was professor of sciences,

Jesus already senile at your age.

Where were you two off to?

- We're going home.

- You got children?

- One in the oven.

- Good man, Andy.

How about we go to our place

and have a drink and celebration?

Okay?

- Come on, it'll be fun.

- Okay.

- Oh, what do you say?

We can catch up on the past, play a little music and relax.

Just take it easy.

- Oh, well I've just--

- Know what I've just thought,

somewhere I've got a picture from college

with the two of us in it.

- You guys gonna stand here and talk all day?

We've got wine and cheese at home.

Come on, let's go.

- Follow us.

- Their place,

you know where it is?

- No idea.

I don't know, I just wish

the hell I could place the man, that's all.

- He must have been in another class.

I mean, he looks much older than you.

- It's pretty weird.

My mind's a blank.

- So what?

They seem like a very nice couple, Andy.

And I mean, we didn't have anything else to do.

How old do you think Bruno really is?

- I don't know.

- I'd say late 40's.

- Here we go.

Where the hell is their place?

Frank Bradshaw was the dean of the college.

I'm sure about that.

The professor of sciences was a-

- Hey drop it, please Andy.

- Well you know how many miles we've come?

- No I don't but we've been driving

for the best part of an hour.

Why'd you stop here?

- I think it's best we turn around.

- But we've come this far.

- Yeah and who knows, we could end up driving all night.

Let's go back, it's getting late.

- All right, let's go back then.

- Why did you turn around?

We thought we'd lost you.

- Well, it's getting late.

- We're almost there now.

- You want me to go slower?

- No, it wasn't--

- It's just a couple of minutes, come on, let's go.

- Well, here we are.

- Yeah, pretty far out of town.

- We really only come out on weekends.

- Yeah.

Wait a minute, I left the key in the car.

- Don't worry, nobody's gonna steal it out here.

- Blackie, Blackie come on.

- Why don't you leave the dog out?

Let him run.

- Poor old Blackie, after a week of being shut up

in the apartment he gets crazy.

- I'm afraid he might disappear somewhere.

- No way, honey.

The whole place is walled in and the gates locked.

- Still if you don't mind, I'd prefer he stay with us.

- Sure.

This way.

- Go ahead.

- What a super room this is.

- Glad you like it.

Whereabouts do you live?

- In a rented matchbox.

- But comfortable and very central.

- One of these days we'll come and visit you.

- You're welcome to try

but I don't think we'd all fit in.

- I'm gonna light a fire.

It's cold today.

- Hey, that's great.

- Need a hand?

- Got a light?

- Sure.

- Mary, pour some drinks.

- Sure, what would you like?

- Whatever

you guys are drinking.

That outta do it.

Hand me a log will you?

In a minute I'll go dig out that photograph.

Then you'll see how bad your memory is.

- Quiet.

- Does the subject interest you?

- I've always been curious about it.

I'll go help Mary.

Where do I find the kitchen?

- At the end of the corridor.

- Oh, thanks.

- It's gotta be in here somewhere.

- You want something to eat?

- No.

I thought maybe I could help you.

- Thanks honey.

Why don't you cut the cheese?

You know, you have very beautiful eyes Annie.

- Thank you.

- That's you here.

And that's me.

And that's Frank Bradshaw.

See, I was right.

- But these uniforms are...

- I found the photograph of us Annie.

- Oh let me see.

- Takes us back a few years.

- Angel faces.

- You know I thought uniforms

had been discontinued in 51 or 52.

I never wore one.

- No?

Then what is that you're wearing?

“Ana and Andres, 60 Pradillo Street, Apartment 65.”

- How did-- - Your drink.

- What kind of wine is this?

- Try it, I'm sure you'll like it.

- It's a special vintage.

Tell me where do you work at Andy?

- Hey, aren't you two having any wine?

- No, not now, maybe later.

- It's very good, I love it.

Sorry what did you ask?

- What Andy does.

- Oh, nothing exciting.

I repair electronics and Annie works as a nurse.

- That's Blackie.

- He was running around in the kitchen.

I decided to send him out so he wouldn't bother us.

No, you're wrong.

- What?

- What was on your mind a minute ago?

- Are you telling me you can read my thoughts?

- Like a page in a book.

- It depends on the individual.

Some are more transparent than others.

-And I'm

one of the transparent ones?

- Very, yes.

- He's barking again,

there's something wrong.

- So he's barking, so what?

- Annie, do you believe in the existence of situations

that can take us beyond our reality?

- Mary.

- Well,

I've often wondered whether

those kind of things are really possible or not.

- Sure they are.

I suppose, depends on the individual.

- Well Annie is fascinated by all kinds of mysteries

because to her reality is so boring.

- I saw that book you've got, it's very interesting.

Do you know how to read hands or to tell the future?

- We can do a lot better than that.

The Ouija.

- Ouija?

Sounds great.

- What is it exactly?

- We can talk to the beyond using a glass goblet.

- I say it's impossible.

- Not with that kind of goblet.

This one here.

- Sit over here.

- Thanks.

- No thanks.

- They're very smooth.

- All right then.

I'll try one.

- We must all concentrate hard.

- I warn you, I don't really believe in any of this.

- By the dreadful day of judgment,

by the four beasts before the throne,

having eyes before

and behind, by the fire which is about the throne.

I command thee,

to grace us with your presence,

to enrich our poor souls,

to take us into your heart.

Talk to us oh powerful one,

shroud us in the frozen light of your eternal darkness.

I command thee,

to enter our temple

and let us speak with you.

Come oh powerful one.

- Are you here?

Are you here?

Is there anybody who you wish to talk to particularly?

Who would you speak with?

Tell us I command thee.

- Bruno.

- What would you like to talk to me about?

- About death.

- Will I live to be an old man?

- No.

- So, when will I die?

- Answer the question, I command thee.

- Swiss.

Swiss,

what can it-

Do you think it's Switzerland?

- No, suicide.

Maybe it means having tried and failed once,

he'll try again.

- Why do you always shove that down my throat?

- So you'll remember dear to be more accurate,

another time.

That's all.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

Nothing.

- Let's stop this nonsense right now.

- Are you afraid?

- No.

It's okay.

Let's go on.

I'm all right.

- You understood, didn't you?

He doesn't want to have any more to do with you tonight.

- Then he'd might like to talk to one of the others.

- He might.

Is there anybody else that you wish to speak to?

Who would you wish to speak to?

- That's me.

Oh God.

What do you want to talk to me about?

Love.

What about it?

Tell me.

Why won't he answer?

- Speak to Annie,

speak to Annie about love.

Annie loves Luis.

- It's not true, really.

- Annie doesn't love Luis.

Annie's been lying.

- I haven't been lying.

I love Andy, no one else.

- Tell us, who is Luis.

- He's my brother.

It's an old story and it's been over for years.

It is over, isn't it Annie?

- Do you believe that I...

- How the hell should I know?

Maybe if you told me once more.

Tell me there's really nothing left between you and Luis.

- Tell him you're lying.

Please don't do this to us, tell him you're lying.

- By the sea of glass

before the face of the prince of darkness.

By the dreadful day of judgment.

By the fire around thy throne,

we call on you oh noble Prince Baal.

- Tell him.

- We call on you to

your terrible curse.

- Please tell him you're lying.

You're lying.

- It's all over sweetheart.

- I've got a terrible headache.

- Here, drink this it'll help.

- No thank you, I don't want anything.

Andy let's go home, please.

- It's all right if you wanna spend the night here.

- No, thank you.

Annie's right, we should go home.

Listen, I don't wanna be any trouble

but would you mind leading us back to the main road?

I had no idea how to find it.

- That's a problem.

With these roads, there's a storm on the way.

- Tomorrow you'll see everything in a new light.

Sleep well.

- Relax.

Just take things as they come and don't worry.

- You forgive me?

- For what?

- Well about, you know.

It's the only mistake I ever really made.

- I prefer never to talk about Luis again.

It's in the past let's forget it.

- Okay.

Thank you, Andy.

Come on.

- What do you mean?

- Get in. - With you?

It's a bit small for the both of us.

- Oh, you want me to get out then?

- Are you sure he's still there?

- What's the matter now?

I thought we'd buried Luis.

- I wasn't thinking about that.

I was wondering how the hell

our address got on the back of the photograph.

It seems impossible, we only met them today.

- I don't know what to tell you.

- It's all pretty weird.

And you know, Frank Bradshaw,

he never taught class, I know I'm right.

When I entered college, Frank Bradshaw was the dean.

And then he died one day mysteriously.

- In what way mysteriously?

- It was rumored that he committed suicide.

- Oh no, listen.

It's Blackie.

- Then Blackie must have turned into a Wolf

and he's out hunting Dracula.

- It's Blackie.

Let's go down and get him inside.

- He likes it out in the open air, lie down.

Go to sleep will you?

- I'm trying.

- Think about how much sleep our son needs.

I don't want the same thing to happen again.

We lost one, let's not lose another.

- The door locked properly?

- Yes.

Now then close your eyes and go to sleep.

- Annie.

What is it Annie?

What's the matter?

Hey.

Come on, what's the matter?

- I went downstairs,

then someone jumped me and tried to rape me.

- Take it easy sweetheart.

Come on, take it easy.

- Let's go home, Andy.

Let's go home.

- First of all,

I wanna know what the hell is happening here.

- Andy no, let's just go home.

Please, what happened isn't important.

- Well it's important to me.

I'm sick of their nasty games.

- Andy.

- Wait for me here.

If you want, you can lock the door while I'm gone.

- No, I'll come with you.

- In the name of Satan, Lord of darkness.

Spirit of evil, lead us into temptation,

Amen.

Corrupt our souls and bodies.

Satan, Prince of fear,

King of the lower world,

Prince of Hades,

Prince of rape and fornication,

master of hate,

father of incest,

Prince of necrophilia

serpent of Genesis,

Prince of death,

grand master of the black arts,

protect your humble and faithful servants,

Amen.

- Stay where you are.

You who are of death,

who kiss death on the mouth,

protect your servants,

Satan.

Invade our souls and minds,

corrupt and defile us

and mark us forever

with the sign of evil on our foreheads.

Oh Satan, come lead us out of misery.

- You are here

I sense you, I feel you.

You are here inside me.

Inside all of us.

Prince Baal, master of all evil.

We're yours.

- It could be pretty serious.

You better call a doctor.

- Don't worry about it.

She's always been okay.

- Well as a nurse I am worried.

She might not be all right this time.

- Believe me it's nothing.

- Andrew, see if you can locate a doctor

and get 'em out here, just to be sure.

- Here

Here's one you can call.

He's a friend and he's treated her before.

- Great, now a blackout.

Hell, dead as a doornail

- I can't find it.

- It's not in there.

- Hopeless.

- Well, now we know what cures her.

- The telephone doesn't work.

It's because of the storm I expect.

- Let's go.

- Come here, Bruno.

- Please, I wanna go home.

- Look I swear, she grabbed me.

- Do you think I give a damn?

- Annie.

It's the truth, believe me.

Look, I'd never find the road tonight,

we really are better off staying here.

But as soon as it's daylight,

we'll head for home, okay?

- I don't wanna sleep in this bed.

- Sweetheart, I'm very tired.

- That noise, what was it?

- Our friends, I imagine.

Swinging from the chandeliers.

- It's daylight.

What?

Jesus.

- It's quarter to two.

How come we've slept so long?

- Well the sun's out at least.

- Let's go home.

- Let me take a shower first, will you?

I feel like hell.

- I wanna go.

- No one here.

What a great weekend.

Who's idea was it to get out of the house?

Well then, where the hell is Blackie?

Blackie?

Blackie?

- The car's not there.

Now what do we do?

- Sit on our asses and wait.

Let's find something to eat.

- Yeah, I'm hungry.

-And so am I.

- Do you realize we didn't have any dinner last night?

Now I know who really owns this house, Old Mother Hubbard.

- Oh, I wonder where the stairs go.

- I don't know,

let's find out.

- Oh my God.

- When the hell was this photo taken?

- Hi there.

We went out to buy a few necessities.

- Sorry about using your car without asking

but I wanted to take mine to the mechanic

and you were still asleep.

- It doesn't matter.

We're leaving now.

- Have lunch first, won't you?

- No, thank you.

- What's the big hurry?

- The big hurry is that we wanna get home

before it gets dark again.

- Well, here's to the next time.

Bye.

I can't believe we're getting out of the place.

- What's the matter?

- I don't know, they must have done something to it.

- Listen, we can't leave now anyway.

- Not if the car won't start, we can't.

- No, I mean Blackie.

We can't leave without him.

- Blackie.

- Blackie.

Blackie.

- I'm glad you decided to stick around.

- We're looking for Blackie.

- Blackie?

- What's happened to him?

- And the car won't start, Bruno.

- I doubt if it's serious.

I'll help you with it after we've eaten.

- I'd like you to help me now.

- Not long, a few minutes.

We'll eat something

and then we'll go and repair your car.

Is that all right? - No

- Try again, come on.

- It's dead.

- Try again.

Let's go eat something, we'll fix it later.

- Wait a minute.

You get in and try her, go on.

- What could have happened to Blackie?

I'm getting worried now.

- Where did you find this?

It's Frank Bradshaw.

You recognize him don't you?

You think he threw himself out of the window Andy?

- That's what they said.

- Maybe he was thrown.

Great pity.

He was a fine teacher.

- I don't remember.

- Wait a second.

This collar, wasn't it Blackie's?

- How awful.

We'll bury him in the garden.

- You bitch.

- Annie. - You murdering bitch.

- Annie.

- The poor girl.

I think she's blown a gasket.

- It was you who killed him.

It was her Andy, she did it.

- Annie, Annie, take it easy.

Come on, take it easy.

- What reason would I have for murdering your stupid dog?

- Mary, come on, why did you do it?

- Only a coward would murder a defenseless animal.

A coward. - I agree.

Only a coward would do a thing like that.

- What are you insinuating?

- You know perfectly well, what I mean?

- Say it.

- That it's much simpler to murder a defenseless dog

than to commit suicide.

- Come Annie,

it's time we went

He's still just about alive.

You're the nurse, come on.

What the hell can we do? - Nothing.

He needs expert attention.

- Doctor.

- Mary.

What's he saying?

- I don't know.

- Sounds like Chinese.

- Andy, can't we do anything?

Suppose she doesn't come back,

we can't just sit here and watch him die.

What are you gonna do?

- I'm gonna see if I can make that damn car work.

- Andy!

He's dead.

- Doctor.

- Good evening.

- Hello doctor.

- Good evening.

Nothing more we can do for him.

What happened?

- I don't know, we were outside

and when-

The only thing I can imagine, it was an accident.

- An accident?

That's not what I understood from her.

What did she tell you?

- I'm sure you know

but you're saying

you weren't even in the room when it happened?

- No, we weren't.

- Are you sure? - Yes, of course.

We were walking to the car out in the driveway.

- To the car?

I heard it wasn't running.

- Well, it does now.

It wasn't running earlier but I managed to repair it.

You see, somebody had pulled a wire off the-

- Who did?

Her or him?

- I don't know.

They took the car.

- What's this?

Blood, I'd say.

- I don't see anything.

- I assure you it's blood.

- Right, yes.

It's from the dog.

- Oh, what dog? - Please doctor,

let's start again, I'll tell you the whole story.

- No, no, I have no wish to hear the whole story.

My only obligation in this case

is to make out a death certificate

on our dead friend over there.

Time and cause of death.

That's my duty.

All the rest is your problem.

But where's the phone?

Oh.

- Doctor, my husband's telling the truth.

We came here yesterday with our dog.

Somebody murdered our dog.

- Killing a dog isn't murder, Killing a man is.

By the dreadful day of our judgment,

by the four beasts before the throne,

having eyes before and behind,

by the fire which is around the throne,

take thy servant I command thee,

into your world of darkness.

You stay here.

You're not to leave the house.

- Doctor, is there anything we can do?

- Nothing, fate will take its elected course.

- I'm glad he's gone.

And now we just wait, I suppose.

Did you hear what he was saying?

That funny kind of prayer.

- All I understood is he didn't believe

one damn thing I said.

- Are you sure?

Are you sure someone pulled off a wire?

- What is this shit?

You too.

Don't you believe me either?

- Sorry.

I don't know what's happening anymore.

I only hope this is a, a bad dream, just a bad dream.

- Well unfortunately we're awake, very much awake.

She just sits there.

- Forget about her.

Nothing we can do anyhow.

- That's what's driving me crazy.

We gotta stick around here and do nothing

because there's, there's nothing we can do.

Sorry, sweetheart.

Here's me doing flips and right now more than ever,

we got to keep our cool.

Jesus.

- Here, I'll fix it.

- No, I've had enough.

What are we doing here?

It's madness.

And then on top of everything else

that quack accusing us of murder.

- I told you we should've left.

- How?

The car was broken.

Tell Me how.

- Don't ask me, the point is we didn't.

- I wonder what kind of bullshit story she told the doctor.

- With that bitch I'd expect anything.

Hey, you know,

I bet she did it, she killed him.

Here you are.

- Now where'd she disappear to?

- You, who are of death,

you who kiss death on the mouth,

protect us and lead us out of our misery.

- What are you saying?

- I don't know.

It just came into my mind.

It was something that Mary must've said or maybe Bruno.

- It's so silent.

You know the other day no I mean,

was it yesterday?

On hell, I'm losing all sense of time.

When we were in the bathroom.

When was that?

- Last night.

- Oh.

Last night, while you were in the bath,

I was watching you in the mirror

and I had the strangest sensation.

- Of silence?

- No.

It was a feeling of being empty.

As though I'd lost something forever.

- You were thinking about Luis.

- No, it was something else.

It's difficult to explain.

It wasn't him.

There she goes, a caged animal pacing back and forth.

- You think she's all right?

- Who cares?

She killed Blackie

and then murdered her husband.

- We don't know either of those things for sure.

- Listen.

- I don't hear anything.

- Exactly, I wonder what she's up to.

- Seems like water.

- Yeah, that's water all right.

She's filling up the basin.

- That or the bath.

- Mary, are you in there?

- I hope she hasn't done anything stupid.

- Open the door.

Open the door.

- We've gotta get her out of these wet clothes.

- Where is he?

Where's Bruno?

- Here drink this.

- I'm not dead yet, so kill me.

Kill me again.

- You wanna die? - No, stop it.

- I'll kill you, - Stop it

- I'll kill you,

I'll kill you.

- My God, Andy, you killed her.

- If we're careful and wipe all our prints,

no one will ever know we were here.

- The doctor knows.

- Well, he only saw us once

and when he gets back,

we won't be here.

It'll be his word against ours.

Jesus, what a nightmare.

First Blackie then Bruno

and that bitch. - Andy, let's get moving.

- Just sorry we didn't leave her

in the bath to bleed to death.

Not that I really got a guilty conscience

about strangling her.

She deserved to die.

Come on, let's go.

- Oh please, don't leave yet.

So you're unhappy you didn't let me bleed to death.

- Listen, I didn't really-

- Yes, you did.

I know what happened now.

I know,

you murdered my husband,

you're murderers and I'm going to Kill you.

With great pleasure.

- No, you're wrong.

It wasn't like that.

- Let me fix your hand.

- Not now, get in.

- Oh no.

- Now what's wrong?

- My bag, I left it inside.

- Well, it can stay right there.

- There are things with my name on.

- Stay there.

Keep the engine running.

Come on, up.

Come on now, we're back home, it's all over.

It's impossible.

What's going on?

God.

I'm going crazy.

No, no, no, no, no.

- Is there anything we can do?

- Please, did you,

did you by chance see anybody go into our apartment?

- Why, no.

- Yes, the moving men did.

- Yes.

Somebody did.

- Who, who were they?

- A moving company.

We presumed you've moved to a new place

and well it all seemed quite legal.

They had keys.

- That's impossible.

Nobody else had keys.

We haven't moved either.

- Listen, you can't just stand out here.

Why don't you come in?

- We don't wanna be a nuisance.

- It's no trouble, come on in.

Besides, I see you've hurt yourself.

- We've got a few friends in for dinner,

you're very welcome to join the party.

Come along.

- You're very kind.

- Hey, you know them?

- Who?

- The two in the car over there.

- No, never seen 'em before.

- Hey Gordon, don't you remember me?
