chair it's

used for the execution of condemned

criminals in the United

States and in that chair has committed a

crime it's

murder he's going to pay for it strapped

and helpless in that mle chair the

creature awaits his

Doom perhaps you feel sympathy

compassion for him eh or not

me not me for reasons of my

own and soon thousands of volts of

electricity will sear every nerve and

every cell of his

body very civilized method of

Revenge that I approve of

you notice the bits of sponge here and

there where the electrodes touch the

flesh that is to prevent the gentl from

being burnt to a cinder before their

eyes but nevertheless he will burn

inside

inside

inside

inside you picture yourself in his

race let's try

that now in his final

moment his last

breath his last sweet second of

life now my friend in full payment for

what has passed I am going to pull the

switch

Horrors but now I can let you experience

real ones yes ladies and gentlemen I do

heart or what you find there will be

more terrifying more horrendous in your

deepest darkest dreams now then who has

the courage to

try how much's it cost well since this

exhibit is limited to special fuel

£55 you got a nerve and what about you

have you the nerve to face the thing

that lies waiting inside there eh it's

it's a thr of a lifetime I guarantee it

and if you don't agree with me

money well come on I all cowards is a

lot of

money that I'd like to

dummy if you ask me where the Dum is

didn't quite what I expected what did

you expect I don't know

but where is he this what's he call

himself Theo you call

me who's your friend it's a good

question this is a figure from ancient

legend

atus goddess of Destiny in the left hand

ske of life in the right the Shears of

Fate each colored thread represents a

human life and the shears have the power

to cut it short oh come on it's just one

of those mechanical figures that tells

your fortune for Penny as you can tell

your fortune of course that's the least

of it no no no no no see I promised you

horror and I intend to keep that promise

this civil here is very strange magic

very strange power for she is able to

reveal to each and every one of you the

ultimate horror which is of course the

horror that you have hidden away inside

yourself the secret in fact of your own

evil a very oldfashioned word nowadays

evil you prefer I say the primordial

monstrosities that lur Beneath The Sur

of the mind but I prefer

evil just a minute is this all you've

got to show us no there is this also

that if you can gain a knowledge of your

inner Evil by then you will have been

for warned and perhaps I is perhaps you

can escape the Monstrous Act and the

Hideous consequences are you trying to

tell us this thing can really foretell

the future I'm simply trying to say that

what she foretells need not come to pass

not if you heed what you've learned not

if you shunn the evil that lies deep in

your nature I didn't pay5 to listen you

preach a sermon I think You' lost your

money friend come here young

man come

here are you

afraid you seem to doubt my word

how would you like to be the first to

learn what Fate has in store for you

what do I do asking questions it won't

be necessary just stand where you are

the figure will communicate with you oh

through your mind just look at the

figure look at the figure it can't hurt

you now look at the

shears look

deeply deeply deeply deeply deep deeply

deeply into the Shears of

you all

right seem to be in a trance just

standing there and staring into space

for a minute

a

minute seem like

days I can't explain I

can there is a theory the past the

present in the future are merely

different aspects of the same moment in

time and space you understand that

theory then perhaps you can understand

that since a drowning man can view his

entire past in a few seconds he can also

view his future by the same rule yeah

particularly if he's

hypnotized that's all it was hypnosis

it's a trick no trick what then a

warning what exactly did you

see I rather not talk about it well was

there anything about it that was

true it's true I have an uncle lives in

the

country and I was going to see him to

ask so how did you know I never saw

merely a customer who comes

next who is the next to meet atropus the

goddess of Destiny what about you young

lady surely an innocent young woman like

mind why don't you after all it was your

idea to come come in

worry about me I'll have another drink

lots of drinks and you can tell you

think friends for me they don't have to

worry about Mike Charles he knows how to

take care of himself but maybe they

ought to worry because Mike Charles is

just liable to take care of

Heim my dear young lady let me assure

you there is no cause for

alarm only for silence he's right we

can't have any any publicity bad for the

picture how can there be a picture with

with Bruce the bullet has been removed

other night was Bruce's double

his double look I know his stand in I

said double let's face it Bruce is

getting along he needs somebody to share

the load after all how' you imagine he's

kept going as a top star for over 30

years now you know the

secret but you still haven't told me

what

happened just what you saw Bruce's

double old gambling Debs he was taken

for a ride and

killed then uh Dr Heim didn't operate no

he merely disposed of the

body who is Dr Heim no more secrets you

know too much already perhaps I know

more than you think what are you talking

about I did a little reading over the

weekend at the newspaper office small

clippings they keep a file there you

know it's called a

morg it's very appropriate don't you

think what are you getting at I thought

I was getting it the truth about Dr

Heim but instead I found out something

else about

you on April 5th 1944 there was a

speedboat accident in the harbor off

Newport Beach you were thrown from the

boat when they took you to the hospital

they thought you were dying according to

the story you rushed from that hospital

to a private Clinic Sunset Crest

sanatorium the man who operated on you

there was a refugee physician

a Dr Heim two minutes Miss Hayes yes

it's true he saved me a wonderful

plastic surgeon he must have

been according to that newspaper story

your entire skull and chest had been

crushed Beyond

repair I don't see any scars Mr storm

I've had enough of this well I haven't

I'm going to see Bruce tonight and he'll

tell me the truth

have you seen Mr Benton I haven't seen

him leave yet thank

you

main

gate as soon as Dr Heim gets here send

him to stage

G it doesn't concern you don't you you

see I have to know the truth there's

nothing to tell you oh yes there is

Carla

please you were the one who was

shot you were the one that we took to

the sanatorium you'd better get out I'm

not going to talk about it but you've

got to talk about it Bruce don't you

can't be in love with me what happened

what is it about Dr

h

[Music]

[Applause]

met all

right look at it take a good look you

wanted to know the secret of the top 10

the box office stars who seem to go on

forever and ever the ones who never age

The Immortals of the

screen well now you know the

secret they are Immortal it's Dr Heim

yes Dr Heim he found a way of preserving

the brain and its

abilities in a synthetic body he did

that to you and Eddie storm

yes there are a few of us but only a few

few and you don't have to have an

accident but you must be a very special

person with a very special hunger not

for food or drink or love you can't have

any of those you must live to feed only

on the Applause and the

fame for some of us it's

enough I'd rather be

dead so we are in

time you told

her then we have no choice what are you

going to do Mike Charles knew the secret

he wanted to be one of us when we

refused he threatened to talk we

couldn't risk that with him and we can't

risk it with you

wait there is another way you once told

me about your ambitions

that you do anything for Fame in

stardom you can have your

wish how soon can you

operate immediately no

[Applause]

n and here are the stars of this

production Bruce button and the lovely

Carla Hayes oh Miss Hayes I understand

that your performance is this picture

indicates that you will soon be in the

top 10 and filmed

them look there's Carla Hayes isn't she

a doll a living

doll there there there that's all right

now don't be afraid that's all in your

mind that was a warning sounding in your

mind it's a warning of things that can

be of course but for the moment they're

without substance the images that the

kind of things that dreams are made of

oh the mind is a strange animal isn't it

it can turn on you like a panther but of

course like a panther it can be tamed by

certain people and that's a kind of a

blessing don't you agree I don't know

why we came here for the mystery and

excitement but you have obtained more

than you bargain for you've obtained

knowledge you're quite a philosopher as

I try to be now who is next who wants to

to believe me Dorothy you have no

rivals it's no good I'm making too many

mistakes why I don't

you how many hours a day do you practice

quite enough until what time are you out

every night I can't see what possible

difference that makes Leo I'm sorry if

I'm speaking out of turn but well I'm

your friend I'm not just your manager

and I can't stand by and watch that girl

take over your life ruin your career you

sound exactly like my mother whenever I

used to bring a girl home all she would

ever say to me was that it was going to

ruin my

career you're in love with

her

yes and I think she loves me too well in

that case you're just going to have to

try and make her understand she just

can't go on being so

demanding look

Maxi you're a good manager and a good

friend but you don't have to worry about

me in either capacity Dorothy hasn't

ruined my life for the first time in

years I feel rarely

myself but you've got to do something

about Leo you've got to cancel his tour

he's a no condition for it if we don't

do something he'll have a breakdown yes

I know if Leo isn't well it's because

you're smothering him you're smothering

him with your demands on his time your

possessiveness you just aren't the sort

of person Leo needs believe me I love

him do you or do you just love the idea

of being the wife of a world famous

pianist Is Your Love real or just

selfish you're the selfish one all

you're interested in is making money out

of Leo's career first his mother and now

selling cavas to medical students

robbing Graves one of the graves he

opened was the last resting place of

Edgar Alan PE the body of course had

crumbled to dust but he gathered that

box so you see he really was the

greatest

collector he even collected Edgar Alan

Poe

box is

empty ah but and this is the real

secret my grandfather was more than a

grave robber he was a student of the ult

did you know that there are ways to

raise the dead to reanimate the dust are

those stories by

po filled with nameless

Terrors are written on Modern paper
