00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:30Yes, I know you'd like to join your brothers outside and howl up the moon.
00:01:45But you're serving a much better purpose.
00:01:48Yes, you're serving science through me.
00:02:00Yes, you're serving science through me.
00:02:29Are you quite comfortable, Petro?
00:02:41Sure, Doctor.
00:02:43You're not afraid?
00:02:45I ain't got no reason to be afraid.
00:02:47Yeah, that's right.
00:02:48Petro, there's nothing to be afraid of.
00:02:50Nothing at all.
00:02:52There, did that hurt?
00:03:02No, that was just like a piano stick in me.
00:03:09How come I have to have these straps on, Doc?
00:03:14Well, you see, Petra, I'm trying a new formula.
00:03:17I wouldn't want you to make a sudden move and fall off the couch.
00:03:21Now, don't worry. It'll only be a little while.
00:03:30How do you feel now?
00:03:33I feel just like I always did.
00:03:36When you stick me with that thing, I'm kind of sleepy.
00:03:43I don't want to sleep now.
00:03:51That's right.
00:03:53I'm going to sleep.
00:03:56I'm going to sleep now.

00:07:46Men who are governed by one collective thought,
00:07:49the animal lust to kill without regard to personal safety.
00:07:53Such an army will be invincible, gentlemen.
00:07:55Such an army will sweep everything before it.
00:07:59Your scheme is too utterly fantastic, Dr. Cameron.
00:08:03You're fools, all of you. Poor blind fools. Especially you, Dr. Warwick.
00:08:08Assuming that what you say is true, how would you control these wolf men?
00:08:12I've perfected an antidote that induces the return of immediate normalcy.
00:08:17And I suppose that it would be an easy matter to round up a million wild animals and administer an antidote.
00:08:25No, Cameron, you're mad. Stark, raving mad. And I, for one, am in favor of...
00:08:30Silence! I'm not interested in your imbecilic mouthings.
00:08:36All of you demonstrated your lack of vision by demanding my resignation from the faculty.
00:08:42Well, you accomplished your purpose. You cast me out.
00:08:45You robbed me of everything that I held most dear in life.
00:08:49Position. Honour. Respect.
00:08:53You branded me as a madman. Held me up to ridicule before the whole world.
00:08:58But now it's time for my revenge.
00:09:01Pedro will see to that.
00:09:03Now you shall pay for your folly. There's no escape for any of you.
00:09:06You shall die one by one at the hands of the scientific marvel that you scoffed at.
00:09:13You can't intimidate us with fantastic threats.
00:09:16You're a faker, Cameron. A mad faker.
00:09:18We'll have you ostracized by every scientist in the country.
00:09:21There are institutions for madmen. And we'll see that you're confined in one.
00:09:26You will see, gentlemen. You will see.
00:09:56You will see you in the world.
00:10:03I'm gonna模 условize you with Saul.
00:10:19Hello, Doctor.
00:10:46How long have I been asleep?
00:10:49About an hour, I should say.
00:10:51How do you feel?
00:10:53I got a terrible headache.
00:10:55And I had some kind of an awful dream.
00:10:59I was running all over the countryside chasing people and trying to kill them.
00:11:06What does a dream like that mean, Doctor?
00:11:10Oh, that doesn't mean anything. You just had a nightmare, that's all.
00:11:13But why should I be trying to kill people, even in my dreams?
00:11:18I ain't got nothing against nobody.
00:11:20Well, let's not talk about it anymore.
00:11:22Go to bed. Our work's done for the night.
00:11:27All right.
00:11:43Good evening, Miss Lenora.
00:11:58Good evening, patron.
00:11:59Well, night owl, I was just coming down to find out how much longer you're going to work.
00:12:02Do you realize how late it is?
00:12:04No, I didn't. I was so absorbed in my work.
00:12:06Oh, we did a lot of work tonight.
00:12:09And I slept almost an hour, and I had the awfulest dream I'd...
00:12:13Go to bed, Petro.
00:12:14Yes, sir, Doctor.
00:12:16Good night, Miss Lenora.
00:12:18Good night, Petro.
00:12:22Dad, what kind of experiments are you doing that you need Petro?
00:12:25Oh, he just helps me in the laboratory, moving the heavy things around.
00:12:29He's a very strong man, this Petro.
00:12:31How much longer are we going to be here, Dan?
00:12:34Why?
00:12:35Because the place gets on my nerves. I hate it.
00:12:37You're hating it has nothing to do with being separated from that young reporter friend of yours, has it?
00:12:42It has. And I want to know when we're going back to the city.
00:12:45Very soon now, dear. My work's practically finished.
00:12:49What was that?
00:12:50What?
00:12:53Well, that noise. It sounded like a wild animal howling.
00:12:56And I heard the same thing last night.
00:12:58Oh, that's probably some dog in the neighborhood.
00:13:01Dogs do howl, you know.
00:13:03You mustn't let things like that upset you.
00:13:07Now, come along, dear. Even the scientists need sound sleep.
00:13:11I shall sleep very sound there tonight.
00:13:20Good morning, Petro.
00:13:29Good morning, Miss Lenora.
00:13:31I was hoping you'd come to the garden this morning.
00:13:34I got something for you.
00:13:38Oh, they're lovely. Thank you.
00:13:40I'll pick some for you every day, if you like them.
00:13:43Well, that's very kind of you.
00:13:44What's the matter, Miss Lenora?
00:13:49Petro, I don't like this place.
00:13:51No. I guess you feel about this place the same as I do.
00:13:56I'm afeard of it.
00:13:57Especially at night when the mist comes up out of the swamp.
00:14:01Of course, it's all right when the sun's shining like it is this morning.
00:14:05Are there any wild animals around here?
00:14:07Oh, yes, Miss. Lots of them.
00:14:09How come you ask?
00:14:11Oh, I was just curious.
00:14:14Say, Petro, what do you do when you work with Dad in the laboratory?
00:14:20Oh, I don't rightly know.
00:14:23Besides, I ain't supposed to tell nothing.
00:14:26Your pup made me a promise.
00:14:28Oh, you can trust me. I wouldn't tell anybody.
00:14:31Well, we...
00:14:36No mind saying nothing.
00:14:38Good morning, dear.
00:14:41Good morning, Dad.
00:14:42You sleep well?
00:14:43Yes, very well.
00:14:44Well, look at the flowers that Petro gathered for me.
00:14:46Very pretty.
00:14:47I'm afraid you'll have to give up your gardening for the time being, Petro.
00:14:51I want you in the laboratory.
00:14:52But, Doc, if I don't keep at this stuff, how am I ever going to make it look pretty?
00:14:57And I like pretty things.
00:14:59We shall leave this place long before you're able to beautify it.
00:15:02Gardening really isn't very important.
00:15:04Come along with me.
00:15:07Now, Petro, I see you're waiting for me.
00:15:16You scared me, Doc.
00:15:18Scared you? Why?
00:15:19You mustn't be so jumpy. You're as nervous as that wolf.
00:15:22He sure is nervous, all right.
00:15:25I've been sitting here for a long time watching him.
00:15:28And he ain't been still a minute.
00:15:30All right, lie down, Petro.
00:15:32Are you going to strap me down again tonight, Doc?
00:15:35Well, certainly. It's more necessary tonight than ever before.
00:15:39Gee, it must be great to be educated.
00:15:43I wish I had a lot of book learning so I could understand what this is all about.
00:15:49Fortunately, you don't need education or intelligence for your part of the experiment.
00:15:54Just strength. Animal strength.
00:15:58I'll lie down and we'll get to work.
00:16:00I'll lie down and we'll get to work.
00:16:01I'll lie down and we'll get to work.
00:16:05Well, let's try to work.
00:16:07Good.
00:16:08Good.
00:16:09Good.
00:16:10Good.
00:16:11Good.
00:16:13Good.
00:16:15Good.
00:16:16Good.
00:16:17Good.
00:16:19Good.
00:16:21No one, your father, the dad.
00:16:25Good.
00:16:27Good.
00:16:28Good.
00:16:29What?
00:16:30Good.
00:16:32Good.
00:16:34Let's go.

00:19:40Let's go.
00:19:41Let's go.
00:19:42Let's go.
00:20:12SHOT THE DOOM UP, QUICK!
00:20:42I never seen anything so awful in my life.
00:20:45What are you talking about?
00:20:46Something took after me down in the swamp.
00:20:49What was it?
00:20:50I don't know whether it was a man, a beast,
00:20:52or old Satan himself.
00:20:54Have you been drinking?
00:20:55Not a drop, so help me.
00:20:57I let him have both barrels of my shotgun,
00:20:59but that neither even slowed him down.
00:21:01No, you can't kill him no ways.
00:21:04Except with a silver bullet.
00:21:07I'm telling you, it was something awful.
00:21:12All right.
00:22:12Hey, Pedro, lay down on the couch.
00:22:27Let go!
00:22:42Stop!
00:22:59Have I been walking in my sleep again?
00:23:26Yes, you have.
00:23:28You'd better go to bed.
00:23:31I'm sorry if I made a nuisance of myself.
00:23:36I wish I wouldn't walk in my sleep like that because I have such bad dreams.
00:23:43Don't be upset about your dreams, Pedro.
00:23:46You've been a great assistance to me tonight, very great assistance.
00:23:50In fact, I'm going to reward you by taking you to the city with me.
00:23:55You mean I can go along with you and ride in the car?
00:23:59Yes.
00:24:00If I will in the city, you'll make calls together.
00:24:04First, we will call upon a pompous gentleman called Blaine.
00:24:08Professor Blaine.
00:24:09Professor Blaine.
00:24:15Good morning, Pedro.
00:24:17Good morning, Miss Lenore.
00:24:19Will you do me a favor?
00:24:20You know I'd do anything for you.
00:24:23Well, I want you to mail this letter for me when you go into the village.
00:24:26And there's already a stamp.
00:24:27Yes, ma'am.
00:24:28I'll take that letter.
00:24:30Dad.
00:24:31Give me that letter.
00:24:37So you couldn't wait till my work was finished.
00:24:40You felt you had to write to your reporter.
00:24:42Well, I just wanted to tell him that I was safe.
00:24:44If you remember, you made me go away without even saying goodbye.
00:24:47There was a reason for that, my dear, a very good reason.
00:24:54See anything over?
00:24:55No.
00:24:56I don't know how much there is looking now.
00:24:58It's daylight.
00:24:59And he only falls at night.
00:25:03Maybe he's seen something else.
00:25:04Yes, take that.
00:25:09Good morning.
00:25:10Why all the armament?
00:25:12We're looking for a wild vomit what killed a little child.
00:25:15Been looking all night.
00:25:17You mean someone was killed by a wild animal?
00:25:19Yes, my little girl.
00:25:21Oh, how terrible.
00:25:22How did it happen?
00:25:23They come in through the window.
00:25:25My wife said the window was closed, but she must have been mistaken.
00:25:29Didn't try to take the baby away or nothing.
00:25:32It just seemed to kill just for the love of killing.
00:25:35Did anyone see the animal?
00:25:38Jed Hopper did.
00:25:39He said it walked on its hind legs like a man, but that don't make sense.
00:25:44I don't care whether it makes sense or not.
00:25:47I know what I've seen.
00:25:48Come on, men.
00:25:49We've got work to do.
00:25:56What do you make of it, Dad?
00:25:57A predatory animal that opens windows.
00:26:00That would be very interesting to science, wouldn't it?
00:26:05Its dominant urge is to kill and destroy even when unprovoked.
00:26:10A human characteristic translated into animal instinct.
00:26:15Animals rather kill except for food or in self-defense.
00:26:19The eminent professor, Dr. Blaine, would be interested to study such an amazing animal, wouldn't he?
00:26:29Well, come on in, Tom. Glad to see you.
00:26:39Good evening, Dr. Blaine.
00:26:40I came in through the garden so as not to disturb your housekeeper.
00:26:43Sit down.
00:26:45Even if Martha has dozed off, which I think she has, her full alarm of fire wouldn't disturb her.
00:26:50I have a faint suspicion that there is something besides my housekeeper's welfare around your mind.
00:26:56What is it?
00:26:57I'm after a story.
00:26:58Well, quite a normal pursuit for a newspaper man.
00:27:00An AP dispatch from Ashton down in the swamp country tells about a child being killed by a wild animal.
00:27:06Well, that's a tragic thing.
00:27:07Yes.
00:27:08A neighboring farmer saw the brute and swears that it traveled at a terrific speed on his two hind legs.
00:27:13I understand they make a very potent corn liquor in that district.
00:27:17Oh, no, no.
00:27:18It's nothing like that.
00:27:19I have a hunch there's more to this story than just a jug full of corn liquor.
00:27:22I hoped that you could give me an angle.
00:27:23I could work into a sunny feature.
00:27:25I don't know what you mean by an angle.
00:27:27The possibility of the survival in the depths of the swamp are some of those overgrown lizards that used to be head men on earth.
00:27:34I understand they traveled around on their hind legs and made our present day public enemies look like horticultural specimens.
00:27:39I'm sorry, Tom.
00:27:40I can't lend myself to that sort of sensationalism.
00:27:44True science, the search for knowledge, is on a far higher plane than that.
00:27:48It is worthy of being treated with dignity.
00:27:51And I feel that I owe an obligation to the people who respect my opinion.
00:27:55Your angle, as you call it, on prehistoric lizards is utterly fantastic.
00:28:01I'm sorry.
00:28:02I didn't know I was getting into such deep water.
00:28:05Well, I'll hang my head in shame and slink a water.
00:28:08Now, no harm's done.
00:28:09Don't take it so to heart.
00:28:10Put your feet up on the desk and stay for a while.
00:28:12Well, I can't now.
00:28:13I've got to get back to the office.
00:28:14But I'll drop around again.
00:28:15Thanks very much for the information.
00:28:16I didn't give you very much.
00:28:17See you again, boy.
00:28:18See you again, boy.
00:28:19I was.
00:28:46OK.
00:28:47Surprised to see me?
00:28:48Yes, I confess I am. Come in. Sit down.
00:28:53You shouldn't be surprised, Blaine.
00:28:55I told you that I'd come back when I could prove my theory to your complete satisfaction.
00:29:00You say you've proven that wild theory?
00:29:03Well, I'm here. You don't think I enjoyed your comments so much that I came back merely to hear you repeat them?
00:29:09Any comments I made were an expression of honest opinion.
00:29:13I will retract any statement proven to be untrue.
00:29:17Do you think that will cancel your obligation?
00:29:19Do you think a retraction will pay me for the humiliation of being held up to public ridicule?
00:29:25For having my scientific reputation blasted?
00:29:28For being forced to resign from an honorable position?
00:29:32I deeply regret any possible injustice.
00:29:35But my rejection of your theory was not intended as a personal persecution.
00:29:40I'm sorry. I apologize, Dr. Blaine.
00:29:44I suppose we all burn at times to lose sight of the true perspective.
00:29:47Well, let's say no more about it.
00:29:49I'll gladly consider anything in support of your theory.
00:29:52I'm not asking you to take my word for anything.
00:29:54Just to believe the evidence of your own eyes.
00:29:56Pedro!
00:29:57Pedro, you sit here.
00:29:58This is my guinea pig.
00:30:02Pedro!
00:30:03This is my guinea pig.
00:30:04Pedro!
00:30:05This is my guinea pig.
00:30:07You're aware of the nature of this extent?
00:30:32You're aware of the nature of the success?
00:30:35We've been doing this a long time.
00:30:37You may rest assured the experiment is a proven success.
00:30:41Otherwise, I wouldn't be here.
00:30:43What good can come with tampering with the normal laws of nature?
00:30:48A great deal of good. An invincible army, for one thing.
00:30:52You'll understand when you see the results.
00:30:54I abhor whatever appears to be a perversion of science.
00:30:58Mingling the blood of man and beast is downright sacrilege.
00:31:02I have no sympathy with such maudlin sentimentality.
00:31:05I propounded a theory which you denounce publicly as being ridiculous.
00:31:10The result of what is all in mind.
00:31:14Are you trying to squirm out of facing the possibility that you may be wrong?
00:31:19Not at all. I will cooperate in any way possible.
00:31:23That's just what I wanted to hear.
00:31:25I've given him one injection to prepare his blood for the transfusion.
00:31:29He'll need another in exactly 20 minutes.
00:31:47Hello.
00:31:48Is this Magnolia 37136?
00:31:52I'd like to speak to Dr. Lorenzo Cameron, please.
00:31:55Just a moment, please.
00:31:57That's for you, Cameron.
00:31:58For me?
00:32:00Hello.
00:32:01Oh, is that you, dear?
00:32:03You asked me to call you and find out if you're returning tonight.
00:32:05It's all right. I'll be over as soon as I can.
00:32:08Goodbye.
00:32:09Goodbye.
00:32:14It's my daughter with some friends. I'll have to go and get her.
00:32:18It shouldn't be long.
00:32:19What about the second injection? You said it had to be given in 20 minutes.
00:32:23Oh, yes. The injection.
00:32:25I may be able to make it.
00:32:27If not, I want to doubt whether you'd do it for me.
00:32:30Why, uh...
00:32:32Yes, I guess so.
00:32:34That's very, very kind of you.
00:32:36Peter, you stay here and don't bother Dr. Blaine.
00:32:38No, sir. I won't bother.
00:32:39Of course, it's quite possible, Doctor, if I don't get back that you could ensure the failure of this demonstration by forgetting the injection.
00:32:48I'll have to take that chance.
00:32:50Don't worry.
00:32:51Even if I lacked a sense of honor, pride would hardly allow me to stoop to such a level.
00:32:56I shall give him the injection if you're not here by 12.
00:33:00At 12.
00:33:01At 12.
00:33:02Precisely.
00:33:03Hello.
00:33:04Hello, Miss Gerald.
00:33:05Yeah, is that you, Blaine?
00:33:06Well, what do you want to drag me out of bed this time of the night for?
00:33:08Well, I've just had a surprising visitor... Lorenzo Cameron.
00:33:37he claims to have proven his crazy outlandish blood transfusion theory and demands the right
00:33:45to give a demonstration yeah no he's no no he's not here now he'll be back after a while
00:33:55why don't you come on over all right i'll get dressed and be over right away expect me in about
00:34:0210 minutes are you at all familiar with the work that the camera is doing oh no sir i'm just handyman
00:34:16around the place nobody not even miss lenora knows what he does oh his daughter is still with him oh
00:34:24yes she's with him but i think she's lonesome she seems to be grieving about something
00:34:31oh that's an outrage cameron has no right to accept such a sacrifice from her
00:34:37i don't like being a busy body but she's such a fine girl and a certain young man is just the
00:34:43tonic she needs to make her happy where do they live uh dr cameron rented the old danfield homestead
00:34:52house about four or five miles from ashton it was a fine place but ain't been nobody lived there for a
00:35:00long time and the weeds kept growing closer to the house till they about swallowed up everything
00:35:17oh hello fitzgerald no dr cameron i heard you were back in town blaine just told me that you wanted to
00:35:27demonstrate the proof of your blood transfusion theory he exaggerated when he mentioned demonstration
00:35:32i told him i could prove my claim but i don't think professor blaine is in a cooperative frame of mind
00:35:39that's why i came to you what do you want me to do i'd like you to be present when i talk to him
00:35:45i'll take a walk over with you all right i'll take a walk over with you you know uh
00:36:05so
00:36:10so
00:36:14so
00:36:18so
00:36:58I don't know the nature of this experiment, but my promise to adapt to Cameron leaves me no alternative.
00:37:03Sure.
00:37:05Roll up your sleeves.
00:37:16How do you feel?
00:37:17Just like I always do.
00:37:28Well, here we are.
00:37:47Oh!
00:37:48Something wrong?
00:37:52I was just out of the heart trouble.
00:37:55I'm serious, but distressing at times.
00:37:59I'll be all right after I rest a minute.
00:38:18Maybe we'd better go in the house.
00:38:30Go, go.
00:38:30In.
00:38:30In.
00:38:31In just a moment.
00:38:35What's the matter, grunt?
00:38:36Oh, a slight heart attack.
00:38:37You want me to call an ambulance?
00:38:39No, I don't want an ambulance.
00:38:40I'll be all right in a minute.
00:38:42Oh, I was just trying to help.
00:38:43Oh, I was just trying to help.
00:39:12What's that?
00:39:35Sounded like come from the house.
00:39:36Come on in here.
00:39:43There's something wrong.
00:39:52I'll say there's something wrong.
00:39:56Give me a police headquarters and make it fast.
00:40:01Hello, Sarge.
00:40:02This is Dugan.
00:40:03I got a murder on my beef.
00:40:06Right away.
00:40:13That's the work of an animal, not of a human being.
00:40:17What do you know about this?
00:40:19How could I know anything?
00:40:20I was with you.
00:40:22Officer, my heart's beginning to trouble me again.
00:40:25I can't be of any use here.
00:40:26I may as well leave.
00:40:27Sure, go ahead.
00:40:28I can't pretend to feel any great sorrow.
00:40:31But then my feelings are of no importance one way or the other.
00:40:34Good night.
00:40:35Howdy, Lieutenant.
00:40:43Howdy.
00:40:43I've seen a lot of murders in my day, but never as messy as this one.
00:40:55This should make a gory enough story for your paper.
00:40:57This is more than just a story to me.
00:41:00He was my friend.
00:41:04There was a couple of college professors arguing outside and using a lot of big words.
00:41:09They followed me in here.
00:41:10And I heard one of them say that some kind of a dangerous animal done this killing.
00:41:15Well, how could a dangerous animal be roaming around the city?
00:41:18I don't know.
00:41:19It's got away from a zoo or a circus or something.
00:41:21I'll check on that angle.
00:41:22Ashton.
00:41:35Ashton.
00:41:36You talking to me?
00:41:37No, no.
00:41:37I was just trying to remember something.
00:41:39Ashton.
00:41:40I got it.
00:41:42An AP story came in from Ashton the other day about a child being killed by a weird animal
00:41:46from the swampland.
00:41:47What do you mean, weird animal?
00:41:49A farmer swore it wasn't human, but that it traveled on two legs like a man.
00:41:52Oh, he was crazy.
00:41:54A drunk.
00:41:54There ain't no such animal.
00:41:56Anyway, how could he get way up here?
00:41:59I wish I knew.
00:42:00I wish I knew.
00:42:30Oh, Petro.
00:42:43You startled me.
00:42:45What's the matter?
00:42:46Why do you stare at me like that?
00:42:49I don't know, Miss Lenore.
00:42:51I feel funny.
00:42:53I smell something in the mist coming up out of the swamp.
00:42:56It's like a voice talking to me.
00:42:58Telling me to do something.
00:42:59Something terrible.
00:43:01Oh, but that isn't real.
00:43:02That's just your imagination.
00:43:04You mustn't pay any attention to what that voice seems to be saying.
00:43:07Petro.
00:43:12What are you doing here?
00:43:14Go to your room.
00:43:16You've no right in this part of the house.
00:43:18Get out.
00:43:19Immediately.
00:43:22Wake up.
00:43:22You're dreaming.
00:43:24I don't know what's come over me.
00:43:32I must have a touch of swamp fever.
00:43:35That's very likely.
00:43:36Now go to bed.
00:43:36I'll get something for you.
00:43:38Yes, sir.
00:43:40I'm sorry if I made a nuisance of myself.
00:43:43Dad, what happened to Petro?
00:43:51I'm terribly afraid.
00:43:53There's nothing to be afraid of, dear.
00:43:54He just had a touch of fever, that's all.
00:43:56That was more than fever.
00:43:57Well, his eyes were the eyes of a wild beast.
00:43:59He was possessed by a demon.
00:44:01Now, dear, you know there's no such thing as being possessed by a demon.
00:44:05That's ignorant superstition.
00:44:06Well, I don't care what you call it, Dad.
00:44:07But there's something here that's evil.
00:44:09It's real, and I can feel it.
00:44:10And I'm afraid.
00:44:11Dad, I can't stand it here any longer.
00:44:13Let's get away.
00:44:14I can't go now, dear.
00:44:15I must wait till my work's finished.
00:44:18Pull yourself together, dear.
00:44:20Oh, I won't be silly anymore.
00:44:23Nothing must interfere with your work.
00:44:25You've been a very great comfort to me.
00:44:27I know what a terribly lonely life this must be for you.
00:44:31Well, we won't talk about it anymore, Dad.
00:44:34I just want you to prove that you're the greatest scientist in the world.
00:44:37They'll soon have all the proof they want.
00:44:40I expect the eminent Professor Fitzgerald to pay me a call before long.
00:44:45And I shall be delighted to confound him with scientific facts that he declared were impossible.
00:44:53Now, you go to bed, dear, huh?
00:44:55Have a good night's rest.
00:44:57Good night, dear.
00:44:58I'll look after Peter.
00:45:00Good night, Dad.
00:45:07Good night.
00:45:37Good night.
00:46:07Hey!
00:46:37Dr. Cameron, so, you're the owner of this, this haunted castle.
00:47:02What do you mean, haunted castle?
00:47:04Well, maybe I did just have the jitters, but I thought something was prowling around out
00:47:08there.
00:47:09Did you see anything?
00:47:10No, not even positive.
00:47:11I heard anything.
00:47:12Just a feeling.
00:47:13That's not very definite, is it?
00:47:16Tom!
00:47:21Oh, it's good to see you.
00:47:23Can you ever forgive me for going off without saying goodbye?
00:47:25That doesn't matter, now that I've found you.
00:47:27I see no reason for rejoicing.
00:47:29Dad!
00:47:30I buried myself in this out-of-the-way place so that I could work undisturbed.
00:47:35Away from snooping reporters.
00:47:37You only ridicule what they have not the intelligence to understand.
00:47:41I had no thought of ridicule in coming here.
00:47:44I'm not interested in your reasons for coming.
00:47:46But I would like to know how you happened to find your way here.
00:47:49I found a message from Dr. Blaine after he was killed.
00:47:52Dr. Blaine killed?
00:47:54Oh, how terrible.
00:47:55Yes, if only he was killed by some animal.
00:47:58You knew about it?
00:48:00I was with Professor Fitzgerald when it happened and I saw him right afterwards.
00:48:04What was the message?
00:48:06A memorandum to tell me about this old plantation.
00:48:09So he meant to betray my confidence, just as he did before.
00:48:13I don't believe Dr. Blaine had any such thought in mind.
00:48:15I don't care what you profess to believe.
00:48:18You belong to a profession that's obnoxious to me and you're not welcome here.
00:48:22Dad, I won't...
00:48:23Keep quiet.
00:48:24I won't keep quiet.
00:48:25I've stayed here because I thought you needed me.
00:48:27But I won't have you treat Tommy like this.
00:48:29Now, now, don't get upset on my account.
00:48:30Things will turn out all right.
00:48:32I suppose you have a right to your own opinion.
00:48:34Good night.
00:48:35Tom, wait.
00:48:36Don't go now.
00:48:37Wait till daylight.
00:48:38Why?
00:48:39I'm afraid.
00:48:40Afraid of what?
00:48:41Well, I don't know exactly, but there's something dangerous that prowls around in the dark.
00:48:45And I wish you wouldn't take this trip alone.
00:48:47Don't worry about me.
00:48:48If I meet anything I can't rip, I can do a swell job of running.
00:48:51I'll be around tomorrow whistling at your front gate.
00:48:53If you have a front gate.
00:48:54Good night.
00:48:55I wish you'd wait till morning.
00:48:57I'm sorry.
00:48:58I can't do that.
00:48:59Good night.
00:49:00Good night.
00:49:01Good night.
00:49:02Good night.
00:49:03Good night.
00:49:04Good night.
00:49:05Good night.
00:49:06Good night.
00:49:07Good night.
00:49:09Good night.
00:49:11I'll still be with you.
00:49:12He had no business to come here.
00:49:14Why don't you think I need to care about it?
00:49:20No, we're all intents.
00:50:22I'm sorry to bother you this time of night, but I've lost my way.
00:50:32Come on in.
00:50:36Sit down.
00:50:36You're a fool to be traveling around by yourself at night like this when the mist comes up from the swampland.
00:50:45Oh, you mean the mysterious night prowler that's got everyone's imagination working overtime?
00:50:49That ain't imagination with me, mister.
00:50:52That thing killed my little girl.
00:50:54Oh, sorry.
00:50:56I wouldn't have joked if I'd known.
00:50:58It scared Jed Harper so bad, he went and got religion.
00:51:02Well, say, can you give me some facts about this killer?
00:51:05What does it look like?
00:51:06No one can tell you that for sure, mister.
00:51:08Because it never prowls only on nights like this when the mist is thick and nothing can be seen very plain.
00:51:15Jed Harper said it traveled on two legs.
00:51:18But you can't count on that because Jed was scared half out of his mind.
00:51:22Besides, the mist was extra thick that night.
00:51:24You better stay here the rest of the night, mister.
00:51:29I can't offer you a bed, but I'll make you as comfortable as I can.
00:51:32Well, thank you very much.
00:51:54I can't offer you a bed, but I can't offer you a bed.
00:52:24If I can keep you in a cage, you're of no further use to me.
00:52:30If you revert without my knowledge, you become dangerous.
00:52:33I haven't thought of that possibility.
00:52:37On your couch, Pedro.
00:52:39Down!
00:52:54Down!
00:53:14No.
00:53:16I couldn't disappoint Professor Fitzgerald.
00:53:24Get down, people.
00:53:31Get down!
00:53:55Did I walk in my sleep again?
00:53:59Yes.
00:54:03Doctor, ain't there some way you could cure me from doing that?
00:54:08I'm afraid not.
00:54:10It may be necessary to lock you up at night after this.
00:54:14Oh, it don't seem fair to lock a man up just like he was an animal.
00:54:24Seth Appleton started home with the jug under his arm last night.
00:54:34They found him in the swamp this morning.
00:54:37He'll never lift another jug.
00:54:39Was he murdered?
00:54:40Yep.
00:54:41And he wanted a pretty sight to look at, neither.
00:54:44There must be some natural explanation for this thing you're talking about.
00:54:48It's a werewolf.
00:54:50You can't kill him no way, except by a silver bullet.
00:54:53I can't see myself giving that story to the city editor.
00:54:56He'd throw me right out of my ear.
00:54:59That killer ain't human.
00:55:01You'd know that from one look at the body.
00:55:04I saw a victim of just such an attack.
00:55:08I wonder if there could be a possibility of any connection between them.
00:55:11I've been telling you all along.
00:55:13It's a form of a human who sold his soul to the devil.
00:55:17In the light of day, he walked like any other man on the earth.
00:55:21At night, he takes on the form of a wolf.
00:55:27Then you never heard of any killings by strange animals around here until recently.
00:55:33Why does he keep asking me all them questions?
00:55:36Well, all newspaper men are like that.
00:55:37He doesn't mean anything by it.
00:55:39Well, you go ahead.
00:55:40He won't bother you anymore.
00:55:42Yes, sir.
00:55:53Lenora, you must give some thought to your own safety and peace of mind.
00:55:57There's no normal reason for Dr. Cameron to hide away in a place like this unless...
00:56:00Unless what?
00:56:01Oh, nothing. Forget it.
00:56:03Don't avoid the question. What were you going to say?
00:56:06Lenora, I believe your father knows something about that creature responsible for the horrible killings in this vicinity.
00:56:12And I think the same creature killed Professor Blaine.
00:56:14Well, that's a terrible thing for you to say.
00:56:16I didn't expect you to join the chorus against him.
00:56:18Oh, I hope I'm wrong.
00:56:19But I'll do everything I can to learn the truth, no matter where it leads.
00:56:26Good morning, young man.
00:56:28I'm very glad to see you.
00:56:29I want to apologize for the way I talked to you last night.
00:56:32Oh, well, that's all right.
00:56:33I can understand how you must feel about the newspapers.
00:56:36They didn't, what do you call, hang on to their punches.
00:56:40Pull their punches.
00:56:41I know, they gave you quite a ride.
00:56:42But I didn't write any of that stuff.
00:56:44Oh, I know, I know.
00:56:45That's why I'm so sorry the way I received you.
00:56:48If you're interested in scientific research, I'd be glad sometime to show you what I've accomplished.
00:56:53Well, thanks, Doc.
00:56:55That's very nice.
00:56:56Now, if you'll pardon me, I'll leave Lenora to entertain you.
00:57:00Okay.
00:57:03That doesn't sound as if he has a secret to hide, does it?
00:57:06Why, no.
00:57:07And I never before was so glad to be wrong.
00:57:18Well, Professor Fitzgerald, how in the world did you find your way down here?
00:57:35Hello, Lenora.
00:57:36Your father wrote asking me to come.
00:57:37Is he here?
00:57:38Yes.
00:57:39And he'll be very glad to see one of his old friends.
00:57:41Ah, Fitzgerald, this is an unexpected honor.
00:57:44I hardly dared hope that you'll accept my invitation.
00:57:46Well, if you've made a worthwhile scientific discovery, I want to be the first to congratulate you.
00:57:50I should be delighted to give you that opportunity.
00:57:52Well, the things that you two have to talk over are way over my head, so I'll leave you alone.
00:57:56Oh, now, don't run away.
00:57:57I promise to limit myself to words of two syllables.
00:58:01That'll take all the fun out of the discussion.
00:58:03I'll see you after a while.
00:58:04Thanks.
00:58:05Can we go into the lab?
00:58:06You wish.
00:58:19You're very secretive about your work.
00:58:21I have to be to keep out intruders.
00:58:23You seem to be excellently equipped.
00:58:26Now, good tools are the first requisite of good work.
00:58:29Sit down, Professor.
00:58:30Thanks.
00:58:39I've discovered that certain extremely volatile elements in the blood, little more than particles of electrical energy,
00:58:46are the source of all physical growth and mentality by exciting the various glands and brain cells.
00:58:53I've learned how to extract and concentrate these elements from the blood of various animals.
00:59:00I can control evolution.
00:59:02I've discovered the source of life.
00:59:05You're crazy.
00:59:06That has a familiar ring.
00:59:15You told the newspapers I was crazy once, didn't you?
00:59:18I didn't know that you invited me here to reopen an old controversy that was very disagreeable to all concerned.
00:59:24I came with the hope that you'd abandon impossible theories and accomplish something worthy of consideration.
00:59:30And I suppose you feel yourself fully competent to judge my accomplishments.
00:59:35You and your hidebound associates.
00:59:38Hatfield, what he can blame.
00:59:40No, not Blaine.
00:59:43He no longer is passing judgment on my sanity.
00:59:47I believe you know something about Blaine's death.
00:59:54You were at his house.
00:59:56But you talked to him on the telephone before I came to your house.
01:00:00Did he say then that he was in any danger of losing his life?
01:00:04No.
01:00:05Nothing threatened him at that time.
01:00:08And I was with you when he was killed.
01:00:10You pride yourself on not indulging in fantastic theories.
01:00:15What proof have you that I was in any way implicated in Blaine's death?
01:00:19I have no definite proof.
01:00:22You accuse me of being crazy of what I claim to have accomplished with this apparatus.
01:00:26That I can give you overwhelming proof of what I say.
01:00:30I can inject into your veins a substance that will give you the strength of ten men.
01:00:35Or following the line of evolution, how would you like a pair of donkey's ears?
01:00:41That'd go well with your type of mentality.
01:00:45I certainly will not be the subject for any of your experiments.
01:00:49And I'm afraid it's useless for us to continue this discussion any further.
01:00:53You're not leaving, are you?
01:00:54I see no reason for staying.
01:00:56Open that secret panel.
01:00:58So you don't care to stay and be convinced that you were wrong?
01:01:02I don't care to be ridiculed by a charlatan.
01:01:06Ah, ridicule.
01:01:08That isn't pleasant, is it?
01:01:10I know from experience.
01:01:12I have nothing to do with that.
01:01:14It wasn't my fault if the public treated your crazy theories with a ridicule it deserved.
01:01:21It's still.
01:01:22Well?
01:01:23Would you do me a favor?
01:01:24What is it?
01:01:25I have to send my hired man into town.
01:01:26Would you mind taking him with you?
01:01:27All right.
01:01:28I can do that without any trouble.
01:01:29Oh, thank you so much.
01:01:30If you'll wait at the car, I'll send him out to you in a few minutes.
01:01:32Now get in the car, Peepil.
01:01:33Don't keep Professor Fitzgerald waiting.
01:01:34I'd need to have no brother.
01:01:35Go back and put him in the car.
01:01:36Not quite.
01:01:37Show me what you need.
01:01:38What is it?
01:01:39I have to send my hired man into town.
01:01:40Would you mind taking him with you?
01:01:41All right.
01:01:42I can do that without any trouble.
01:01:44Thank you so much.
01:01:45If you'll wait in the car, I'll send him out to you in a few minutes.
01:01:47I'll get in the car people don't keep professor Fitzgerald waiting I should
01:02:02have known this trip would be a waste of time I still hope to give you proof that
01:02:09you can't ignore remember me to have you will do the wallet when you see them
01:02:13again why did professor Fitzgerald leave so soon he wasn't impressed by the
01:02:32possibilities of my line of research oh don't be disappointed there's no credit
01:02:36to his intelligence you're a great scientist and someday you're going to
01:02:39startle the world you're right there I'll startle the world
01:03:09I'll
01:03:16yeah
01:03:18yeah
01:03:21yeah
01:03:24yeah
01:03:27yeah
01:03:30yeah
01:03:33Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
01:04:03Oh, my God.
01:04:33Hey, that sounded like it came from over there.
01:04:51I didn't see a thing.
01:05:03Look!
01:05:13Look!
01:05:33Look!
01:05:35Look!
01:05:37Look!
01:05:39Look!
01:05:40Go after him!
01:05:48Festivus Jell!
01:05:50Is he dead?
01:05:51He's still alive but unconscious.
01:05:52Where can we take him?
01:05:53We can take him over to my place.
01:05:55But the old Danfield house is handier.
01:05:57We'll take him there.
01:05:58I don't know how badly he's hurt.
01:05:59When are you men go for a doctor?
01:06:01Come on, give me a hand.
01:06:02Take it easy, Paula.
01:06:12Dad, please come to dinner.
01:06:13You know I don't like to eat alone.
01:06:14No, I'm not very hungry.
01:06:15You go ahead with your meal.
01:06:17Are you feeling discouraged because Professor Fitzgerald was unsympathetic?
01:06:21Fitzgerald's opinion is of very little value.
01:06:29I'll answer the door.
01:06:30Come on in.
01:06:31Tom, what happened?
01:06:32I found Professor Fitzgerald badly hurt.
01:06:33Oh, bring him in.
01:06:34Take him upstairs.
01:06:35Tom, how did it happen?
01:06:36He's another victim of that mysterious werewolf or whatever it is.
01:06:38In here.
01:06:39In here.
01:06:40In there.
01:06:41In there.
01:06:42In there.
01:06:43In there.
01:06:44In there.
01:06:45In there.
01:06:46In there.
01:06:47In there.
01:06:48In there.
01:06:50In there.
01:06:51In there.
01:06:53In there.
01:06:55In there.
01:07:00In there.
01:07:05In there.
01:07:06In here.
01:07:07In there.
01:07:08Come on.
01:07:09Come on.
01:07:10Easy now.
01:07:11Get his head up there.
01:07:12Yes.
01:07:13One of the men went after a doctor.
01:07:16He should be here before long.
01:07:17There's nothing more we can do here, so we'll keep hunting for that killer.
01:07:22You don't need to come down with us, ma'am.
01:07:24We can find our way out.
01:07:26You don't need to come down with us, ma'am.
01:07:29We can find our way out.
01:07:31There's nothing more we can do here, so we'll keep hunting for that killer.
01:07:35You don't need to come down with us, ma'am.
01:07:37We can find our way out.
01:07:39Good evening, sir.
01:07:41That devil got another victim.
01:07:43Yes, so I see.
01:07:51I was surprised to see Professor Fitzgerald in this neighborhood.
01:07:54He came to see me up that busy hut.
01:07:58I don't know yet.
01:07:59We'll find out as soon as the doctor gets here.
01:08:01When he regains consciousness, we'll find out who or what has committed these horrible killings.
01:08:08Yes.
01:08:09It'll be very interesting to hear what he has to say.
01:08:31Since this awful thing happened to him, I can't feel any resentment over the way he treated you.
01:08:48Did you quarrel with him?
01:08:50Yes, we quarreled.
01:08:52So I suppose you think that I ran after him and dragged him out of the car.
01:08:55Dad!
01:08:56Newspaper training seems to be the suspicious nature.
01:08:58I wish you wouldn't try to antagonize him.
01:09:03I wasn't trying to antagonize him, you didn't give me a chance to finish.
01:09:04I was just going to ask him if anyone was with Fitzgerald when he left here.
01:09:21Well I can answer that.
01:09:22Petro was with him.
01:09:23Petro?
01:09:24Yes, he drove him into town.
01:09:26Well, I can answer that.
01:09:27Petro was with him.
01:09:28Petro?
01:09:29Yes, he drove him into town.
01:09:31But surely you don't think that...
01:09:32I don't know what to think.
01:09:34But I will know as soon as Fitzgerald comes, too.
01:09:37I'm inclined to agree with Dad about your imagination.
01:09:40It's fantastic.
01:09:41Maybe so, but didn't it strike you funny
01:09:43that we didn't find Petro around when we found Fitzgerald?
01:09:46Look, darling, please don't snap at me
01:09:48just for trying to add things up.
01:09:50I'm sorry.
01:09:51Forget it.
01:09:56He's still unconscious.
01:09:57Oh, he must regain consciousness.
01:09:58Even phoning for a few minutes.
01:09:59So much depends upon him.
01:10:01That must be the doctor.
01:10:02I'll go down with you.
01:10:26Oh, doctor, I'm glad you got here.
01:10:36I'm glad to get inside.
01:10:37There's a humdinger of a storm coming up.
01:10:39Where's the patient?
01:10:40Upstairs.
01:10:41Ah, good evening, doctor.
01:10:42Will you go right on up?
01:10:44You stay down here, dear.
01:10:45There's nothing you can do.
01:10:50I hate to leave you, but I must question Fitzgerald
01:10:52as soon as he's able to talk.
01:10:54I reckon it's a little late for me to help.
01:11:04The man's dead.
01:11:06Dead?
01:11:07Yes.
01:11:08That's too bad.
01:11:09We were hoping he'd throw some light on a matter of great importance.
01:11:13Well, I'll be getting back to town before this storm gets worse.
01:11:17I'll send the coroner out.
01:11:20I'll send the coroner out.
01:11:50Okay.
01:11:51Good night.
01:11:52My father's yak当 night.
01:11:53I'll have to go.
01:11:54But as soon as soon as the telescope takes down the scene,
01:11:56I'll have to forget.
01:11:57Yeah, I'll do it.
01:11:59Get back.
01:12:00Oh, moon.
01:12:02sua queremos looter.
01:12:03I'll do it.
01:12:04In the final vicinity or not Pietro's promise.
01:12:05Oh, doesn't%rette do it.
01:12:06quá niño, man!
01:12:08Fortnightisma
01:12:10Oh, well...
01:12:11Most of does this intoxication in his life.
01:12:13Do this not careília!
01:12:16So why you might look?
01:12:17But...
01:12:18Oh, I've read a woman's greatestías.
01:12:20Good night, Douglas.
01:12:24There's no necessity of you to stay any longer.
01:12:26Oh, yes, there is.
01:12:28I want to ask you a lot of questions.
01:12:30Mainly about Pedro, that servant of yours.
01:12:32I call me boy, I say.
01:12:34The doctor is a doctor.
01:12:35I'm not a doctor.
01:12:36He's not a doctor.
01:12:38He's a doctor.
01:12:39He's a doctor.
01:12:40He's a doctor.
01:12:41He's a doctor.
01:12:42He's a doctor.
01:12:43He's a doctor.
01:12:44He's a doctor.
01:12:45He's a doctor.
01:12:46He's a doctor.
01:12:48I can't be bothered with any more of your questions.
01:12:50They're only prompted by your fantastic imagination.
01:12:52I must ask you to leave at once.
01:12:54Wait, you'll do some more talking, whether you like it or not.
01:12:56You're making yourself very unpleasant.
01:12:58I haven't even started yet to be unpleasant.
01:13:00If my hunch is correct, I'll prove you guilty of murder.
01:13:02And in the meantime, I'll get Lenora out of this madhouse.
01:13:04You will prove nothing.
01:13:06My daughter stays here with me.
01:13:18Let's go!
01:13:48Upstairs!
01:13:57What happened, Pedro?
01:14:18What are you doing?
01:14:20No!
01:14:21No!
01:14:22No!
01:14:23No!
01:14:24No!
01:14:25No!
01:14:26No!
01:14:45Pedro!
01:14:46Pedro!
01:14:47What are you doing?
01:14:50Pedro!
01:14:52Pedro!
01:14:54Get back!
01:14:56Pedro!
01:14:57Pedro!
01:14:58Pedro!
01:14:59Get back!
01:15:02Pedro!
01:15:03Pedro!
01:15:06Come on!
01:15:26There!
01:15:27Oh, you ain't here!
01:15:28I'll go get him!
01:15:33Where?
01:15:34Where?
01:15:35Oh, you ain't here!
01:15:36I'll go get him!
01:15:44Where?
01:15:45Where?
01:15:46Uh!
01:15:47Oh, it's up!
01:15:48Oh, it's up!
