mommy are you upstairs sure

ciao

ciao what happened

what's the matter with you

come on

you don't believe me

tell the truth you don't believe me huh

that's not the point Cheryl well what is

it sounds incredible to me

I don't know absurd third of course it's

absurd it's all absurd

but I swear that was my teddy bear down

in that basement

you were born in Oregon and you lived in

Oregon until you went away to college

where we met

so

How could a teddy bear that was lost in

Oregon

end up in a basement in a castle in

Italy I don't know

but it did

yeah

it might be another

I mean they all look alike

it's Brewing it's my teddy bear

there was even a tag on it from the

store where it was bought

okay

where is this traveling teddy bear

it's downstairs

where are you going isn't it obvious I'm

going to get it you want to go down in

the basement now

why do you need a special time to go

down to the basement

in the after midnight

it's way past midnight now

wait I'm coming with you

okay

come on

was this closed yeah

he went this way

are you sure

okay no no to the right

wait it's over there

huh I guess this is it

it's my teddy bear

don't you think it's better to say it

looks like yours

Cheryl there must be thousands of bears

just like this one

yes but

don't you think it's strange

that it's here in this basement

it's a coincidence simply a coincidence

statistically improbable but not

impossible

but what about the basement

it's identical

that's just not another coincidence

honey you are a writer okay that means

you have a fertile imagination

are you trying to tell me it's all in my

mind no I'm not trying to tell you that

Shara where are you going come back

come back

Cheryl

this house belonged to my family for

five generations we were all born and

raised right here on this land

you don't like it here

I love it and I hate it I would like to

leave

but you can't right

look

our Greenhouse a greenhouse for orchids

my father was the first person here to

grill them

you can find them in the woods but the

flowers are tiny

that's why my father got the idea

you couldn't care less about orchids

could you

I guess I can't lie to you huh

but listen where's your sister I really

need a babysitter of course I'll call

her

[Music]

if you like my baby hey you like it do

you like my baby

this is Maria my sister

oh hi Maria ciao how old is your son oh

he's nearly 10.

a little Live Wire huh maybe too much

I'm sure we'll get along I can't sit

still for too long either when do we

start well anytime

right now I'd be fine for me okay one

last thing I work for 8 000 an hour but

it's fine fine

that's old Dario he's a little Taffy but

not dangerous

listen Anna I gotta go bye-bye bye

Cheryl but but you said it was the work

of a crazy old man

sure it is the work of a crazy old man

but this man designs cocoons hanging

from a ceiling

well that the same cocoons it

turned my childhood into a major

nightmare

nightmares they were not reality ah come

on admit that you're letting your your

fantasy your writer's fantasy get the

better of you okay

I want to admit [ __ ]

but I will say that it's not every day

that one goes on vacation and finds the

basement of one's childhood fantasy

then you add that a lost teddy bear

and another person obsessed by the same

nightmare

okay okay I get the point

there is something strange when you guys

stop fighting I can't get to sleep but

we're not fighting

Bobby

what are you doing uh

huh

want to go back to bed and be a good boy

then will you come and give me a kiss of

course I'll be right up

go on I'll be right up

so where were we

we'll take a good look at the basement

in the morning

a lot of light

then we lock it and we throw away the

key what do you say

well I know it's kind of silly

but I really think it's the best idea

you know I don't need the basement huh

foreign

[Music]

she was alone in the house

terrible in the basement

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

oh my God they say once upon a time

which is used it as a potion

really

it may not be exactly the same but you

ask Anna

why

come on tell me why

a lot of the people here in the village

think I am the last of the witches

okay

just because I happen to dabble a little

in parapsychology

I never believed in that stuff

I'd never have expected a statement like

that from you why do you say that with

all the ability you have

what ability are you talking about don't

tell me you're married to Cheryl and

you're not aware she has an

extraordinary transensorial sense

she told me about it

well I always thought they were

nightmares

well and with that I think it's time to

say good night

that one isn't Cherry in Spring I make

great jelly and what's this one this one

should be an oak tree

hey

come and see

know what this one is what wild orchid

flower preferred by ogres always don't

exist are you sure about that

scent of orchids drives ogres wild with

delight they can smell them miles away

and then they come running

like this

you expect me to believe that the smell

of a flower is going to attract an ogre

you're smart Bob but there are people

around here who really believe it

according to an old Legend ogres made

with women who smell of orchids

you know you weren't too nice at Anna's

last night

yeah I know

I better apologize

but you know how I feel about certain

things

yeah I do

but you have to admit

parapsychology could give me some

answers to some of my nightmares

the only person that could give you an

answer

I didn't say that but you wanted to

that's what you think isn't it

that's what you've always thought you

just never had the courage to come out

and say it right

Cheryl

you know I love you

and that solves it

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

mom Tom come here

oh come here look at the flower

Thomas where there was a hand print in

the flower

it's probably yours

no

the hand was enormous

you don't believe me do you

I'm sorry Cheryl but I believe what I

see

there was a handprint in the flower you

thought that was

but there isn't

look

this is not one of your horror stories

this is reality

and reality doesn't include handprints

you bastard

in despairo into the fact that the man

she loved didn't believe her

she took a desperate decision

she lay on her bed and massage herself

with an orchid

rubbing it sent into her body

girl nice girl well maybe her boyfriend

dropped over and they went off to do uh

you know what

I'll speak to Anna about it

anyway

what

before you go throwing things away

make sure I have a copy first

that's not the point Cheryl

oh no

what is the damn point then the damn

point is that you believe these stories

that you live them in your mind as

though they were real but for me they

are real

that's what you don't want to understand

you're not a writer

you're someone who wants to exercise

their nightmares

you

you don't have the guts to confront your

fears so you try to terrify others with

them

is that what you think

okay

here are the keys to the damn basement

that you insist is the one from your

childhood

why don't you go downstairs instead of

sending your heroin

the house

mouth

it's bathed in The Pale Light of the

Moon

the whole night here brings the

intoxicating orchids

to the ogre

a few of those parasitic flowers attract

the ogre toward the house which is

ominously silent

a light in the upstairs window seems

like a beacon guiding the way for that

diabolical creature

Anna has just gone to sleep

suddenly a strange sound awakens her

it's quiet again

vague sense of uneasiness overcomes her

she gets out of bed to investigate

[Music]

oh it's you

you heard it too didn't you that's why

you can't sleep either

and it has returned you know

it has returned to kill us all

it has returned for you oh be quiet

growing those orchids but he wouldn't

listen to me and neither would you use

Anna was terrified by the sounds of the

ogre

and the death cries of the crazy old

artist

she knew she would be the ogre's next

victim she tried to scream but her voice

was little more than a whisper

monster extended its claw-like hand and

tore away the Covenant

fantasies of a frustrating bored

housewife
