"Blood Feast" is a terrible film, and a historically important one, too. Director Herschell Gordon Lewis and producer David F. Friedman were in the right place in the right time when they cranked out what has become known as the first "splatter" film. The film initially premiered July 6th, 1963 at the Bel Air Drive-In in Peoria, Illinois. Made on a meager budget of $24,500, and shot in six days around Miami Beach's Suez Motel, "Blood Feast" initially netted anywhere from $7–30 million, depending on who you ask.
The film follows a serial-killing caterer named Fu'Ad Ramses (Mal Arnold) as he murders nubile victims, and harvests their organs.

00:00:30And now, some tragic local news.
00:00:42We have a report of another murder tonight.
00:00:44A young girl has been found dead in Rogers Park.
00:00:47The body was badly mutilated.
00:00:50Because of these murders, police request that all women stay inside their homes after dark.
00:00:55If you must go out, please have someone accompany you.
00:00:58Keep your door locked.
00:01:00We'll repeat that.
00:01:02Police request that all women stay inside their homes after dark.
00:01:07If you must go out.
00:01:08I'll see you next time.
00:01:10I'll see you next time.
00:05:41Have them repeat those emergency broadcasts every half hour.
00:05:46I want to make sure every woman in this town hears those broadcasts.
00:05:51Well, you better get going.
00:05:52I've got some reports to go over.
00:05:54Okay, good day, are you Mr. Ramsey's, I'm Dorothy Fremont.
00:06:19Uh, well, I heard about you from a friend of mine, Annette Dupree.
00:06:26I'm giving a dinner party in two weeks for my daughter, and Mrs. Dupree said that you cater to just the type of thing I'm looking for.
00:06:34I want something unusual, I want, uh, I want something unusual, something totally different.
00:06:41Yes, Mrs. Fremont. I do cater to unusual affairs. What do you consider to be unusual?
00:06:50Oh, I don't know. Oh, I don't know. What do you recommend? Have you ever had an Egyptian feast?
00:07:00Why, that would be fine. That would be perfect.
00:07:05My daughter, Suzette, is a student of Egyptian culture.
00:07:08Mr. Ramsey's, she'd just love it.
00:07:11An Egyptian feast.
00:07:13Yes, an authentic dinner, such as one might have attended in ancient Egypt.
00:07:22The actual feast of an ancient pharaoh.
00:07:27It has not been served for 5,000 years.
00:07:35Yes. Yes.
00:07:43We must do it.
00:07:51Mrs. Fremont, I am honored that you are requesting my services.
00:07:59You see, this type of affair is my specialty.
00:08:05So, you see, I shall cook your daughter's dinner for you.
00:08:09Oh, that will be wonderful. Now, I'm depending on you.
00:08:13I want Suzette to have a party that will be the talk of the town.
00:08:17Every dish must be authentic.
00:08:20It's a surprise for Suzette, and I do want it to be successful.
00:08:24Your dinner will indeed be a success, Mrs. Fremont.
00:08:29I promise you, things will be arranged just as the feast of the goddess was given 5,000 years ago.
00:08:42A goddess, Mr. Ramsey's?
00:08:44I don't think I understand.
00:08:46I only meant that I will arrange things to suit your taste, Mrs. Fremont.
00:08:52Oh, well, that's fine.
00:08:53Then I can leave everything in your hands.
00:08:56Now, this is my card.
00:08:57The name and address are right there.
00:08:59I'm mailing out invitations for two weeks from Saturday night.
00:09:02You can have things ready by then?
00:09:04Things have been ready for a long time, Mrs. Fremont.
00:09:10A long time.
00:09:11I beg your pardon.
00:09:15Well, then, good day, Mr. Ramsey's.
00:09:18Two weeks from Saturday night.
00:09:206.30 sharp.
00:09:34Good day, Mr. Ramsey's.
00:10:04Good day, Mr. Ramsey.

00:11:30A pathological killer on the loose, and we can't find one clue.
00:11:36This man's uncanny.
00:11:38Not one fingerprint, nothing.
00:11:41Did you check with the girl's neighbors, Pete?
00:11:44Yeah, Chief, but they heard nothing.
00:11:46Seems she was a hostess at a restaurant.
00:11:48She got home every night about 12 o'clock.
00:11:51Neighbors said she's a quiet girl, never has any friends over.
00:11:54Then I went down and I spoke to her boss.
00:11:57She said, uh, he has no boyfriend at all.
00:11:59But all the people seemed to like her.
00:12:02And the only thing she seemed to have an active part in was a book club she belonged to.
00:12:08Well, stay on it, Pete.
00:12:11Look, we have the police for 200 miles around on this.
00:12:16Every street is patrolled.
00:12:18We sure should get him if he tries it again.
00:12:22Look, I've got to go over to the morgue.
00:12:24You get to work.
00:12:29Tony, it's getting late.
00:12:47Shouldn't we be getting back?
00:12:49Mom will worry about me when it gets dark.
00:12:52Relax, hon.
00:12:54Just a while longer.
00:12:57Do your folks know you're in good hands?
00:13:01It's all right.
00:13:03This is when it just starts getting nice.
00:13:07I know, Tony, but, well, I feel, I feel funny.
00:13:15All those murders and everything around here.
00:13:19Hey, baby, I'm here.
00:13:23I'm not going to let anyone hurt you.
00:13:27You're my girl, aren't you?
00:13:29Well, besides, it's still early.
00:13:36Look, we'll go when it gets dark.
00:13:40I promise.
00:13:42I'll prove you love me.
00:13:47I won't.
00:13:47Tony!
00:14:03Tony!
00:15:49Take it easy, Tony.
00:15:50Try to tell us who did it.
00:15:52You must.
00:15:53Try.
00:15:54Try to tell us, Tony.
00:15:57No.
00:15:58No, sir.
00:16:00I can't remember.
00:16:03Everything happened so fast.
00:16:07All I saw was this shadow.
00:16:13I got it.
00:16:14I can't remember.
00:16:15I can't remember.
00:16:16I can't remember.
00:16:17Take it easy, son.
00:16:18Sergeant.
00:16:19Take this boy to the hospital.
00:16:20We will want to talk to you later, Tony.
00:16:21You calm down.
00:16:22Say, what do you make of these murders, Frank?
00:16:23He always kills the same way.
00:16:25He just takes one part of the body.
00:16:27This time, he took the brains.
00:16:28Now, what kind of a creature do that?
00:16:30Pathological killer.
00:16:31Sick, sick mind.
00:16:33Well, we've got to notify the parents.
00:16:34I don't look forward to that.
00:16:35You check on the boy.
00:16:36You check on the boy.
00:16:37You ちession you have to look forward to that.
00:16:46And then later, the widow's Rigolo.
00:16:53you look 뜯gly Tapi.
00:16:56Now you must need to look forward to the good thing.
00:17:00Get ready to do the good thing.
00:17:01wheelchair.
00:17:02to that. You check on the boy. Find out anything he can remember. All right, let's get this
00:17:10poor girl's body down to the morgue. Officer, go get a stretcher, will you please?
00:17:32Mrs. Franklin, have you any idea who could have done this? He was so young, so very young. Oh, Arthur, why would anyone do this to our daughter?
00:17:47Try to control yourself, Mother. Marcy was a good girl. She'd want us to help the police. We've got to do whatever we can so that no innocent girls are murdered.
00:18:00Would you like a glass of water, Mrs. Franklin?
00:18:10Mr. Franklin, tell me about your daughter. Who were her friends? Did she ever date anyone besides Tony?
00:18:21Marcy wasn't much of a gadabout. She went steady with Tony for over a year. She had lots of friends. Everyone liked her. No one would do this to my Marcy. No one knew her.
00:18:41Did your daughter belong to any organizations, clubs, anything like that?
00:18:53No. She had lots of friends. She didn't belong to any one particular group. She did have a name on a book club list.
00:19:03Book club list? Wait a minute. What do you mean book club list? She was going to graduate from high school this June. I made her a dress. A white dress. And now she'll never wear it. She'll never wear it.
00:19:19Please, Molly. Please. I'll give you a list of a friend's names. We'll do anything. Anything at all to help you find this killer. Please, Molly. Take it easy.
00:19:30All is nearly ready. Nearly ready. The ancient formula needed for your rebirth.
00:20:00Now we shall have the flavor. The special flavor. Seasoned just right for you, oh mother of the pale darkness.
00:20:30whoever I am.
00:20:32Don't want to go.
00:20:33I want to go.
00:20:34Go.
00:20:35Go.
00:20:36Go.
00:20:37Go.
00:20:38Go.
00:20:39Go.
00:20:40Go.
00:20:42Go.
00:20:53Go.
00:20:54Go.
00:20:55Go.
00:20:56Go.
00:20:57Go.
00:20:58Go.
00:24:59I shudder when I think about that butcher, that maniac butchering all those girls.
00:25:06I wish they could find out who did it and put him where he belongs.
00:25:09I won't feel safe until they do.
00:25:13It is horrible.
00:25:14But Suzette, don't be silly.
00:25:15I'm sure the police will find him real soon.
00:25:18Anyway, the dinner party Saturday will take our minds off all this horrible killing.
00:25:23Suzette, it will be a wonderful surprise.
00:25:25I'm sure it will be a wonderful surprise.
00:25:26I'm sure it will be, Mother.
00:25:28And I can hardly wait.
00:25:30Well, I'd better get going.
00:25:33Tonight is the weekly lecture on ancient history.
00:25:36We're learning about cults of the Egyptian gods.
00:25:37We're learning about cults of the Egyptian gods.
00:25:41Did you say Egyptian gods?
00:25:43Well, that's a coincidence.
00:25:45What kind of a coincidence, Mother?
00:25:47Oh, well, there's that nicest little man.
00:25:49He...
00:25:50Oh, well.
00:25:51Call me when you're ready to come home.
00:25:53I don't want you out in the streets at night.
00:25:55Not with all this terrible killing going on.
00:25:58Yes, I will, Mother.
00:26:00Bye.
00:26:01See you later.
00:26:17Hello, Helen.
00:26:22Dorothy Fremont.
00:26:24You are coming to Suzette's party.
00:26:27Oh, wonderful.
00:26:29I have a fantastic tree planned.
00:26:31Oh, well, I found a perfectly delightful caterer who has a marvelous idea.
00:26:36Who?
00:26:37His name is Fuad Ramses.
00:26:40Ramses I and Ramses II were pharaohs.
00:26:44It was Ramses II whose soldiers were drowned in the Red Sea while chasing Moses and the Israelites.
00:26:51Now, our mutual interest in the cults of ancient Egypt takes us tonight to the cult of Ishtar,
00:26:59a goddess who was worshipped by the early Egyptian and Assyrian peoples more than 5,000 years ago.
00:27:07The worship of Ishtar, or the Mother of the Veiled Darkness, as she was sometimes called,
00:27:12was one of the most bloodthirsty religions ever known.
00:27:16Though she was worshipped as the goddess of love and beauty,
00:27:21such as Venus or Aphrodite of the Greek and Roman civilizations,
00:27:26hers was an evil love that thrived on violence.
00:27:30Now, the festival of Ishtar was celebrated at the beginning of spring,
00:27:35when life again was given to the land from the swollen body of the Nile River.
00:27:41The temple of Ishtar stood high on a hill overlooking the city of Antioch.
00:27:47The goddess was served by 20 beautiful young virgin girls.
00:27:51Shamas was Ishtar's high priest and lover.
00:27:56He was worshipped as a lesser god by the men of the city.
00:28:01On the eve of the feast of Ishtar, the people of the city crowded around the temple.
00:28:06Here, for six wild days and nights, the young priestesses would mingle with the men of the city,
00:28:13and lust would reign over the land.
00:28:16On the seventh day, the crowd would gather at the temple for the great feast,
00:28:21the blood feast that would give the goddess to the people.
00:28:25The young priestesses would be slaughtered on the great altar.
00:28:29Their blood would be caught in silver bowls as it ran from their bodies.
00:28:34Then certain organs and limbs would be removed and prepared as dishes to serve the people.
00:28:41As the last morsel of this horrible feast was eaten,
00:28:45the high priestess would show herself rising from the tomb.
00:28:50A living incarnation of Ishtar.
00:28:53Ishtar arisen in flesh and blood and become part of the people.
00:29:15Ishtar arisen in flesh and the aircodes of the past month,
00:29:34go to the Mount Film by a nephew!
00:29:37This custom of the blood feast existed for more than 400 years and was finally abolished
00:29:50by Amenhotep, the second of the 15th dynasty.
00:29:55It is said that even today there are still followers of this gruesome goddess.
00:30:01However, it has never been proven.
00:30:02And this concludes my lecture on ancient Egyptian cult, and hope to see you all again here
00:30:09next week.
00:30:32Oh, how could a race of people actually follow such a vile cult?
00:30:45Well, the ancients had many strange cults, honey.
00:30:48You know, an idea based on blood and lust, well, it could spread quickly in a civilization
00:30:53founded on superstition.
00:30:54Yes, I can see what you mean, but to actually eat human flesh, Pete, how could they?
00:31:03Oh, come on, honey, let's talk about something more pleasant, like, for example, you and me.
00:31:08You're coming to my party Saturday night, aren't you?
00:31:12I'm counting on your being my date.
00:31:14Oh, I wouldn't miss it.
00:31:16Say, I understand your mother went all out on this one, even for her, but I will try and
00:31:20make it if I'm not tied up on a case.
00:31:22You know, with all these grisly murders going on, I'm on a 24-hour call.
00:31:28Pete, what do you make of all these murders?
00:31:31Isn't there any clue at all?
00:31:33No, not so far.
00:31:36You know, we have every man in the force working double duty, but nothing's broken so far.
00:31:43A little young, young Tony Parker, the boy was with a girl killed in the beach, he did
00:31:48give us one clue.
00:31:49He said that the way everything happened so quickly, he got a glimpse of gray hair and
00:31:54little strange glowing eyes, he said.
00:31:57And it seems to be an older man that we're looking for.
00:32:00I kind of got one clue of my own.
00:32:03It's, uh, I can't seem to make it fit, though.
00:32:07It's about a book.
00:32:08But I can't, I can't make out the significance of it.
00:32:12I feel safer with you working on it, Pete.
00:32:16And now I better call Mother for a ride home.
00:32:19She gets frantic when I'm out late at night.
00:32:21Say, how about me giving you a lift?
00:32:23You know, the mad killer wouldn't bother you being with a policeman.
00:32:26And don't worry, it's not a police car.
00:32:28I'm not hinting.
00:32:29That would be great.
00:32:31Just let me call Mother first.
00:32:33Let's stop for a minute, will you?
00:32:58I, I don't know.
00:33:02Do you think it's safe?
00:33:05You know, on second thoughts, you might be safer with the killer than you are with me.
00:33:10Pete, don't make a joke of it.
00:33:13You know I'm not afraid of you.
00:33:17And it is such a lovely night.
00:33:20Why not?
00:33:22But just for a little while.
00:33:23Okay.
00:33:28You know, this is the first pleasant evening I've had since that first murder.
00:33:36I'm just going to sit back, relax.
00:33:42Say, do you know now that I've got you to myself all alone, I don't know what to do with you.
00:33:49But I got an idea or two.
00:33:51Easy, Mr. Officer.
00:33:55You're supposed to keep law and order, not break it.
00:34:01But you know, you are pretty nice.
00:34:03You know something?
00:34:05You're pretty nice yourself.
00:34:09Say, Suzette, uh, well, ever since we started these Egyptian culture classes, there's, well, I wanted to say something to you.
00:34:17You have, Pete?
00:34:19What is it?
00:34:20Well, I don't know.
00:34:26I guess I'm a better policeman than I am a public speaker.
00:34:31And don't speak, Pete.
00:34:34And don't speak.
00:34:35We interrupt this program to bring you a news bulletin.
00:34:48Another victim of the recent wave of brutal attacks has been found near death.
00:34:52Police say the victim is a young girl, about 23.
00:34:57Identity has not yet been established.
00:35:00The girl's condition is described as critical.
00:35:02I'd better get going, honey.
00:35:03They might need me down at the station.
00:35:05Oh, Pete.
00:35:06Well, that's it.
00:35:20The whole story.
00:35:22We found this girl on a deserted street on the outskirts of town.
00:35:25She was just about gone, but we did get her to a hospital.
00:35:29The whole side of her face was hacked away.
00:35:31Pete, if she can identify her attacker, this just might be the break we've been waiting for.
00:35:36Well, then let's get over there, pronto.
00:35:38Thank you, nurse.
00:35:47That'll be all.
00:35:49Doctor, we've got all we can.
00:35:53You, uh, may only stay a few minutes.
00:35:56There isn't much time.
00:35:58Doctor, has she any chance at all?
00:36:01Not a chance.
00:36:03This is one of the most brutal cases I've ever seen.
00:36:05Her face was hacked away, clear to the bone.
00:36:09Her eyes were gouged out.
00:36:12She's, uh, lost a great deal of blood in her, and a severe shock.
00:36:18It's a terrible thing, such a young girl, too.
00:36:21Has anyone notified her folks?
00:36:23So far, we, uh, don't know who she is.
00:36:26There was no identification, uh, on her when the police brought her in.
00:36:29Uh, your missing person here was checking.
00:36:33I don't know, uh, let you know when we get a report.
00:36:36Can we talk to her?
00:36:38You can try, but please make it short.
00:36:45Miss?
00:36:46Can you hear me, miss?
00:36:51Can you hear me?
00:36:53We're a police officer.
00:36:55We need your help.
00:36:56Yes.
00:37:00I can hear you.
00:37:03What's your name?
00:37:07Janet.
00:37:10Janet.
00:37:12Blake.
00:37:14Who did this to you, Janet?
00:37:17What did the person look like?
00:37:21Wild eyes.
00:37:22He had wild eyes.
00:37:30I was walking.
00:37:34He came from behind a bush.
00:37:39Horrible old man.
00:37:42He said it was for Eater.
00:37:48Eater.
00:37:48Stopped him.
00:38:09I'm afraid it's all over.
00:38:10She never had a chance, poor kid.
00:38:24An old man with wild eyes.
00:38:28Well, at least it's something.
00:38:31What do you make with Pete?
00:38:33What do you think she meant by Eater?
00:38:35I don't know.
00:38:39Could be somebody's name.
00:38:43Strange, though.
00:38:45That almost sounds familiar.
00:38:51Well, the killer must have thought she was dead.
00:38:54It's a miracle she wasn't.
00:38:57Well, she is now.
00:38:58Well, okay, let's go make a report.
00:39:06And every man over 40 with any kind of a record
00:39:08gets picked up for questioning.
00:39:10We might come up with something.
00:39:14I pray to God we do.
00:39:15I pray to God.
00:39:21I pray to God.
00:39:36I pray to God.
00:40:38I would like to speak to Miss Trudy Sanders, please.
00:41:03Oh, I see.
00:41:08This is quite urgent.
00:41:11Could you tell me where she could be reached?
00:41:15Oh, the Fremont residence.
00:41:17Yes, I have the number.
00:41:22Yes, thank you very much.
00:41:24Oh, Ishtar, mother of the black sun.
00:41:35Tomorrow, you shall have life.
00:41:41For I, Ramses, shall give you life.
00:41:49Only one more thing do I need,
00:41:52and the formula will be complete.
00:41:56Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:43:08See, I sure am excited about that party tomorrow night.
00:43:30I wonder what mother has planned.
00:43:32I don't know, but your mom certainly asked if she had thought of a real treat.
00:43:37But I can hardly wait for this party to start.
00:43:40Sounds like a real blast.
00:43:43It's getting late.
00:43:45It's kind of neat.
00:43:47I want to finish shopping before it gets too dark.
00:43:50Gets me the shivers when I think of that killer loose somewhere.
00:43:54I'm going to get dressed.
00:43:57Jay, Suzette, do you know what type of party your mother has planned?
00:44:02Well, I'm not sure, but I think I have an idea.
00:44:06I'm not supposed to know anything about it.
00:44:09I think it's going to be an Egyptian feast.
00:44:12Egyptian feast?
00:44:13Yes.
00:44:14Well, you know, Mom knows how interested I've been in Egyptian culture.
00:44:18And how I've been going to these lectures every week.
00:44:21Doesn't that sound exciting?
00:44:22No, I tell you.
00:44:52That's right, Trudy Sanders.
00:45:21She's been missing since last night.
00:45:23Now, look, I want an all-city alarm,
00:45:25and I want to know the moment you hear anything.
00:45:28I can only hope it's not the killer.
00:45:30Yeah. You know, Trudy is a good friend of Suzette Fremont's.
00:45:34She said she left her house about 7.30 last night.
00:45:37And she never got home, Chief.
00:45:40Yes, it looks bad.
00:45:42But we're doing everything we can to find her.
00:45:45Look, I'm going down and checking the suspects
00:45:47that the boys brought in this morning.
00:45:49Keep me posted, Pete.
00:45:51Will do.
00:45:52Hello. I'd like to speak to Suzette, please.
00:45:53Sure.
00:45:54Hello. I'd like to speak to Suzette, please.
00:46:01Sure.
00:46:02Hello. I'd like to speak to Suzette, please.
00:46:06Sure.
00:46:08Hello, Suzette. Pete Thorne.
00:46:10Yeah, I know. That's why I called.
00:46:11You know, we've been so busy around here
00:46:12that I completely forgot about the dinner party.
00:46:13You know, I'll have to be late, honey, if you don't mind.
00:46:15Yeah.
00:46:16No, honey, I'm sorry. We haven't had any word on Trudy's yet.
00:46:18I'll have to be late, honey, if you don't mind.
00:46:20Yeah.
00:46:21No, honey, I'm sorry. We haven't had any word on Trudy's yet.
00:46:24Yeah, I know you are, but, well, try and enjoy yourself anyway.
00:46:31Say, uh, just what was the big surprise?
00:46:34Hey, that sounds great. Real Egyptian-style stuff, huh?
00:46:37Who?
00:46:38Fouahad Ramsey's?
00:46:39Oh, never heard of him.
00:46:40Oh, just like Dr. Flander's speech, huh?
00:46:43Oh, just like Dr. Flanders' speech, huh?
00:46:46Oh, just like Dr. Flanders' speech, huh?
00:46:50Oh, it's a great question.
00:46:51Yeah, I know you are, but, well, try and enjoy yourself anyway.
00:46:54Say, uh, just what was the big surprise?
00:46:57Hey, that sounds great.
00:46:58Real Egyptian-style stuff, huh?
00:47:00Who?
00:47:01Fouahad Ramsey's?
00:47:02Oh, never heard of him.
00:47:03Ishtar?
00:47:06Well, I hope it isn't exactly like Flanders described it.
00:47:10But it does sound like fun, and I'll get there as soon as I can, honey, okay?
00:47:14Goodbye, then.
00:47:19Ishtar.
00:47:33And now, and now for the flavors.
00:48:01The flavor of blood of the young goddess.
00:48:06Dead blood.
00:48:09To give life to Ishtar.
00:48:19No.
00:48:24Stop your screaming.
00:48:26Stop your screaming.
00:48:28Give yourself up to the goddess.
00:48:31Give yourself up.
00:48:39Give yourself up to the goddess.
00:48:41Give yourself up.

00:52:03What is it, Pete?
00:52:28Listen, Frank, I got a hunch.
00:52:30And if it proves right, I hope you got a strong stomach.
00:52:33Come on.
00:52:46Come on, Frank, maybe in the back.
00:52:48What in the name of all that's holy is that?
00:53:02That's this star, Frank.
00:53:05The goddess of blood.
00:53:07Find the light, Frank.
00:53:11I'm not mistaken, Frank.
00:53:26That's Trudy Sanders.
00:53:29I love it, Frank.
00:53:32Return.
00:53:34Now, come over, Frank.
00:53:56Frank, if I'm right, these are the leftovers from the preparation for the Feast of Ishtar.
00:54:22That's a blood feast.
00:54:24They take all the young girls, and they cook them to satisfy their goddess.
00:54:33Oh, no.
00:54:38Holy smoke, Frank.
00:54:40We got to get over to the Fremont house.
00:54:42They're having a dinner party tonight, and Fuad Ramsey's is the caterer.
00:54:47Fuad Ramsey?
00:54:48Well, let's get going.
00:54:50Roberts, Nicholson, Harris, get on that phone.
00:54:52Oh, call the Fremonts.
00:54:55For Pete's sake, tell them not to eat anything.
00:54:58Oh, and try not to make Ramsey suspicious until we get there.
00:55:01All right.
00:55:01We'll get back to the Fremonts.
00:55:03I'll be here.
00:55:15No, please.
00:55:15There.
00:55:18Who are you?
00:55:19Welcome?
00:55:20You're welcome.
00:55:21Hi.
00:55:22Hi.
00:55:22Hi.
00:55:23Matt.
00:55:23Hi.
00:55:24Hi.
00:55:24Come on, Nancy.
00:55:35Mr. Ramsey's about to serve.
00:55:38It's my boyfriend calling long distance.
00:55:41I had him. Now we're cut off.
00:55:43I have to wait.
00:55:45Oh, here's our Mr. Ramsey's now.
00:55:48Ah, Mrs. Thremont's.
00:55:50Enjoy his occasion.
00:55:51But now I must alert your guests.
00:55:58The feast of Ishtar is about to begin.
00:56:04But to make the feast more authentic,
00:56:11I must ask the cooperation of the young lady
00:56:16in whose honor the feast is given.
00:56:19Oh, me? How excited!
00:56:22Yes, Mrs. Thremont. It is exciting.
00:56:26And now, if the young lady will accompany me into the kitchen,
00:56:33we will prepare the feast, if you please.
00:56:37Oh, I'll bet there never was a party like this.
00:56:41Ah, but there was, Mrs. Thremont.
00:56:435,000 years ago.
00:56:47Oh, 5,000 years ago.
00:57:00Bill!
00:57:03Bill!
00:57:04Bill!
00:57:04Are you there?
00:57:05Where's all the food?
00:57:10Uh, it, uh, is in the garage, my dear.
00:57:15You see, it would be a desecration to bring it into the house before you blessed it.
00:57:22Come.
00:57:22And now, my dear, I would like you to be kind to the whim of an old man.
00:57:31As you can see, my dear, I am an old man.
00:57:34And I shall never again have the chance to offer a feast to Ishtar.
00:57:40You see, in the ancient days, it required a young maiden like yourself to be offered to bless the feast.
00:57:51How do I do that?
00:57:54Well, it is necessary, my dear, to, uh, to lie outstretched on an altar.
00:58:00Uh, I'll prepare this table.
00:58:02This table will do.
00:58:04I'll have to help you.
00:58:05And now, my dear, you must raise your arms to the heavens.
00:58:21And you say,
00:58:23Oh, Ishtar,
00:58:24take me unto yourself.
00:58:28And your eyes
00:58:29must be tightly closed.
00:58:32Is that all?
00:58:33Yes, my dear, that is all.
00:58:38And you will make the heart of an old man glad.
00:58:44Like this?
00:58:46This is fun.
00:58:48Dr. Flanders said something in his lecture.
00:58:53Hey, you wouldn't sacrifice me on this altar, would you?
00:58:59Of course not, my dear.
00:59:01Of course not.
00:59:02Lie down.
00:59:03And now, my dear,
00:59:13you must repeat the sacred words.
00:59:18Oh, I've forgotten them.
00:59:20I will repeat them for you.
00:59:23First, you must close your eyes.
00:59:26Then you say,
00:59:27Oh, Ishtar,
00:59:31You will take me unto yourself.
00:59:36And your...
00:59:37Your eyes must be tightly closed.
00:59:40And your eyes must be tightly closed.
00:59:43Oh, my Ishtar.
00:59:46Oh, my Ishtar.
00:59:47This is selling.
00:59:49Oh, my dear, I'll do it.
00:59:49Oh, my dear, please.
00:59:52Do not break the heart of an old man.
00:59:54Your guests are waiting.
00:59:56Oh, I'm sorry.
00:59:58I'll do it.
01:00:01Oh, my Ishtar.
01:00:04And your eyes must be tightly closed so that the image of Ishtar is before you.
01:00:12Oh, my Ishtar.
01:00:16Take me unto yourself.
01:00:20Now, O Ishtar.
01:00:23The feast has begun.
01:00:25Oh, Mr. Ramsey, I must say the guests are getting...
01:00:34Oh, my God!
01:00:36Oh, my God!
01:00:38Oh, my God!
01:00:40Oh, my God!
01:00:42Oh, my God!
01:00:43Oh, my God!
01:00:44Oh, my God!
01:00:45Oh, my God!
01:00:54Oh, my God!
01:00:55What?
01:01:13What?
01:01:14Suzette?
01:01:15Suzette?
01:01:16Suzette, Mr. Freeman, are you okay?
01:01:18Oh, baby, if it weren't for mother coming here.
01:01:28What's this all about?
01:01:30Ramsey's was a killer we've been looking for.
01:01:33Mrs. Fremont, I'm afraid this feast is evidence of murder.
01:01:38Oh, dear.
01:01:40The guests will have to eat hamburgers for dinner tonight.
01:01:43Did your man catch him as he ran out?
01:01:45No, but we will.
01:01:48We have to.
01:01:52Suzette, look, honey,
01:01:54I'm afraid I got some very bad news for you.
01:01:58Now, listen.
01:01:59We found Trudy.
01:02:01And I'm afraid she was another victim of Ramsey's.
01:02:06Oh, Pete!
01:02:08What a horrible...
01:02:11Oh, I'm afraid he'll be catching before it's too late.
01:02:16Oh, poor Trudy!
01:02:18Oh, poor Trudy!
01:02:20Oh, poor Trudy!
01:02:21Try and get some rest, huh?
01:02:26Lay down and get some rest on you.
01:02:28Then when I get back,
01:02:30we'll have other things to talk about, all right?
01:02:32Okay, Pete, let's go get him!
01:02:34Please, honey.
01:02:36Fill my hands and cry to me!
01:02:39No!
01:02:40I can't!
01:02:41I can't!
01:02:42No, I can't.
01:02:44You're out of my hands.
01:02:46I can't.
01:02:47You're out of my hands.
01:02:49I know, you can't!
01:02:52You're out of my hands.
01:02:53Oh, I can't.
01:02:54Get ready!
01:02:55Ooh, oh, oh, oh!
01:02:57You're out of my hands.
01:02:59I can't.
01:03:00Come, let's go.
01:03:01Yeah, I can't.
01:03:03I can't.
01:03:04Oh, my God.
01:03:34Oh, my God.
01:04:04Frank, stop the truck.
01:04:23Stop.
01:04:25Hey, what's happening?
01:04:29You guys run into trouble?
01:04:31What happened?
01:04:33You don't know it, buddy.
01:04:37You just did this town the biggest service it's ever had.
01:04:43Sergeant, notify headquarters of the killer.
01:04:49It's no more.
01:04:51He died a fitting death for the garbage he was.
01:04:55Pete, how in the world did you figure this out anyway?
01:04:57Well, Frank, I kept remembering the name Etar.
01:05:01You know, the name that girl gave us before she died.
01:05:03Well, Suzette Fremont told me that her mother had planned a real Egyptian feast as a surprise for her.
01:05:09And you know what a bug I am on Egyptian culture.
01:05:11Well, Dr. Flanders gave a talk on the ancient Egyptian goddess Ishtar last week.
01:05:17The names Etar and Ishtar were so similar that I got a hunch.
01:05:19And then Suzette told me that a fool out ran for her.
01:05:21You know what a bug I am on Egyptian culture.
01:05:23Well, Dr. Flanders gave a talk on the ancient Egyptian goddess Ishtar last week.
01:05:27The names Etar and Ishtar were so similar that I got a hunch.
01:05:29And then Suzette told me that a fool out Ramesses was catering their fare.
01:05:31So I called Dr. Flanders and asked him more about the blood festival of Ishtar.
01:05:33He said he knew of a fool out Ramesses who had been a friend of the family and a friend of the family.
01:05:35And he told me that he was in the family.
01:05:37He told me that her mother had planned a real Egyptian feast as a surprise for her.
01:05:39And you know what a bug I am on Egyptian culture.
01:05:41Well, Dr. Flanders gave a talk on the ancient Egyptian goddess Ishtar last week.
01:05:43The names Etar and Ishtar were so similar that I got a hunch.
01:05:46And then Suzette told me that a fool out Ramesses was catering their fare.
01:05:51So I called Dr. Flanders and asked him more about the blood festival of Ishtar.
01:05:56He said he knew of a fool out Ramesses who had written a book called
01:06:00The Ancient Weird Religious Rites.
01:06:02And then I remembered.
01:06:04A book we found next to the body of the girl who was killed in the bathtub.
01:06:07It's the same book.
01:06:09Now obviously this man kept a list of the people who wrote for this book.
01:06:14So Frank, who knows if the spell of this monstrous goddess has possessed anyone else.
01:06:22Lust, murder, food for an ancient goddess who received life through the perverted death of others.
01:06:35Let's go home, Frank.
