I sometimes think and perhaps you do too

how outrageous it would have seemed to

anyone a 100 years ago if they had been

told that someday men would be doing

exact ly what you're doing now listening

to a voice and watching a picture

plucked as it were out of the

[Music]

air we've learned a lot in the last 100

years but how much do you suppose has

been forgotten in the past

5,000 you know how scientist scoff at

folklore and ancient beliefs but every

now and then they Amaze them themselves

with the discovery that our remote

ancestors were right after all our third

Tale of Terror contains the echo of an

ancient Fable which may not be a fable

at all it begins with a manh hunt the

search for a murderer a Strangler if you

will we thrown an Cordon around the

entire area detectives are watching at

local railway stations and all bus stops

you're sure it's the Laton Strangler

positive and we know he's in this area

and the girl is dead inspector yes she

is strangled just like the

others we don't often get this sort of a

criminal thank heaven but this time we

know who we're after he's a clever devil

but he won't get away from us this time

we have his

trademark black Kid

Glove he left this at the scene of the

crime

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

listen it's it's all a mistake I I I can

explain everything I I can explain

it

[Music]

dumb

[Music]

is dumb

[Music]

is statues

[Music]

my pets amuse you

sir I am the only live one

here I I thought they were all alive

I I I came in and there they were all

staring at me it gave me a bit of a turn

for a minute they are lifelike you know

very I I've never seen figures as as

good as this you must be quite an artist

at it you're really very kind would you

like me to show you

around well if it isn't too much trouble

not at all it is beyond my usual closing

time if you don't mind I will lock

up now we Shan be interrupted not that

it makes much difference not many people

come here especially at night let us

start over here shall we sir

this is Rogerson he poisoned his brother

his brother's wife and their

seven-year-old child cyanite of

potassium you can see by his face a

selfish cruel

man yes

yes oh what do you think of this one

didn't he come out well yes he

did who is he Nick chart chanick they

called him because the knife was his

weapon he was a a gypsy Gambler when he

ran out of money he would steal and cut

his victim's throat if he

resisted he's enough to scare the

Daylights out of

anybody all he needs is a knife in his

hand oh thank you for reminding

me you've got wonderful detail in him

you've caught him very well he is very

lifelike you

know well these are works of art no

doubt about it I like to think so for

several years now I have devoted myself

to them until that time my whole

interest was in Grecian archaeology come

I will show you one that I think you

will find very interesting now this one

I like very much perhaps best of all he

was a physician the first man as far as

I know to use air to create an embolism

that is to say he injected air to kill

his victims another murderer are these

all murderers yes they're all murderers

I show these Fe

in all their bestiality I show them

actually as they were do you like Port

sir yes I would very

much only

murderers there are other crimes you

know oh but surely nothing so wicked as

the deliberate destruction of a human

life yes you're right of course quite

right even now the police are looking

for such a man the Strangler who

brutally murdered his innocent victims

are foul things

sir well I must not bore you sir we were

talking about Dr Harwell

Harwell did you say Dr Harwell

yes I remember the paper saying that

he'd always been careful about his photo

being taken there were hardly any

pictures of him when it disappeared no I

I believe that was so this looks

perfect I didn't know it even been

caught now if you made it up from

descriptions oh no no I didn't make it

up no no no you got hold of some photos

I

suppose well I am an artist I have

methods of my

own you certainly are

artist this must be a special stone you

use it's very hard and it's it's very

cold

too there isn't much color about him is

there I noticed that they all look a bit

Gray

tell me Mr

Milo is this just a model of Dr Harwell

or is this the doctor

himself

well yes that is or

was Dr

[Music]

Harwell

[Music]

I thought you said these were murderers

the police had never CAU there was no

legal evidence against them but they

were guilty but what about her oh it is

just a touch I thought the surroundings

were

appropriate she was the Widow

Lyon her husband was a butcher most

unpleasant man so she grounded him up

and sold him for sausages you killed

them you took it upon yourself to kill

them and petrify them

somehow and to exhibit them here in this

freak shop you're a worse murderer than

any of them I beg you sir you do not

understand but 12 you've got it marked

on your door what did you do poison them

shoot them drop them alive in a V

Blaster I did not kill them they

wouldn't have killed themselves but they

did all the same way

how I could tell

you I don't think you would believe me

have you heard of the gorgon's head the

head of

Medusa Medusa wasn't that a monster of

some sort no no Medusa was a queen she

actually lived you are like all the rest

of them you believe only what you read

in Greek Legends how how horrible she

was how persus slew her didn't he see

her reflection in his polished shield or

something when he killed her yes because

it was death to look upon her face upon

her mask as they call

it anyone who did that was Turn to

Stone medo was a myth a madeup story

just looking at someone can't petrify

your blood or turn your flesh to Stone

you know that's impossible is it would

you dare to look upon the face of

Medusa pesus buried Medusa's head in the

marketplace at Argos in Greece the ruins

of that ancient town are still there you

can see them I located that Marketplace

and dug there I don't believe you I

don't expect you to believe me but

consider this radium newly discovered

invisibly Burns human flesh from the

distance nobody knows how but it happens

why shouldn't there be similar

substances that draw the life out of a

body and petrify The Remains yeah is a

piece of wood that has been petrified

that has turned to

stone consider Lot's wife suddenly

turned into a pillar of

salt and explain to me please how

electrical impulses travel along a solid

wire travel thousands of miles

instantaneously nobody knows how these

things are done that is not to say they

cannot be done that they have never been

done and never will be

done all right have it your wrong way

but let me tell you something you

wouldn't want the police dissecting

these would you not if you killed them I

did not kill them

they killed

themselves by looking by looking all

right I won't argue with you but you

still don't want the police nosing about

here do

you Mr Milo Mr

Milo Mr Milo open that

please just a

moment sorry to bother you Mr Milo but

we're searching all the buildings in

this area we're looking for someone sir

do you mind if we come in not at all all

right Grimes

pardon me sir but for whom are you

looking the Strangler the Laton

Strangler we know he's in the area but

who is he what does he look like we

don't know that Mr Milo all we know is

that he's a madman and wears gloves

black kid gloves black kid gloves yes

odd little Quirk Now isn't

it very good very interesting

yeah you um you don't seem to have any

equipment here don't make them on the

premises do you no I don't make them

here well none of these models seem to

be breathing nobody could be here

without Mr Milo knowing all right then

we'll get along Men Thank you Mr Milo

thank you sir I've never seen very many

people in and out of your place Mr Milo

but we had to check you

know

uh Mr

Milo uh you don't make much of a living

here do you no but I have a private

income I think I can tell you why you

don't have much of an attraction here

all you have is a gallery of suspects

what you really need are wax figures of

genuine convicted murderers dressed in

their own clothes sort of chamber of

Horrors don't you know that's what the

people really

like good night Mr Milo good night

Sir you were hiding from them well I'm

in a little trouble I didn't want to be

seen I don't want to be C hang around

here either they might come back you can

help me get

away now you must have a cradle or

something you move these models in now

if I was the model in the crate alive of

course you can hire a van to move move

it do you see what I mean tonight that

would cost money I don't know where well

I've got plenty of money now what it

cost £10

20 I tell you I got I've got plenty of

money I got plenty of

money you you are the man who killed

that girl well that's nothing to what

you've been up

to if the police ever get on to what's

been going on around here 12 of them

right in here

now what about that crate once I get

away I'll be safe and so will you too

there's no chance that they'll ever find

me I'll tell you that maybe they're very

determined about you I'll get away all

right if you don't want to help me I'm

no worse off police have gone now I can

try it on my own they won't catch me

wait

wait I don't even have to be caught to

tip them off about you either I can send

a message or even telephone come on now

make up your mind one way or another I

have I didn't want to do this but you

forced me well so long as you do it

that's all I care someone around here

must have a horse and Van you don't

accept my story about the Medusa do you

you think it is Rings untrue they have

to be crazy to believe that you think

that these are all corpses that I have

treated with plaster I don't see how

they can be anything else none of them

ever believed

me

perhaps nobody ever will now listen what

about that

crate I had hoped to convince you but

since I have failed look you murderer

look on the mask of

Medusa it's

ridiculous LLY
