Sur la recommandation de son professeur (Christopher Lee), une jeune étudiante (Venetia Stevenson) se rend à Whitewood, une ville fictive du Massachusetts, pour mener des recherches sur la sorcellerie. Elle découvre la ville occupée par la réincarnation d'une sorcière infâme (Patricia Jessel), brûlée vive au XVIIe siècle. Pour préserver son immortalité, sa virginité doit être sacrifiée chaque année – et cette année, l'étudiante a été choisie pour victime.

00:00:00THE END
00:00:30Oh
00:01:00Oh
00:01:30Oh
00:01:47Bring out Elizabeth so what
00:02:00We're out.
00:02:12Witch!
00:02:30Burn the witch!
00:02:31Hunnish!
00:02:35Burn!
00:02:36Jethro!
00:02:38Jethro!
00:02:40Jethro Cain, hast thou consorted with the witch,
00:02:45Elizabeth Selwyn?
00:02:52No.
00:02:54Burn the witch!
00:03:00No, no, no, no, no.
00:03:30No, no, no, no.
00:03:33Hold on.
00:03:34Help for who's there?
00:03:39Help me.
00:03:41Elizabeth Selwyn!
00:03:44On this third day of March, in the year of our Lord, 1692,
00:03:50we, the people of Whitewood, Massachusetts, condemn thee as a witch.
00:04:00May the flames cleanse thy soul of its evil,
00:04:04of its lust for blood,
00:04:06and may they bring about the death of Abigail Adams.
00:04:10Help!
00:04:13Help!
00:04:14Help!
00:04:15Help!
00:04:16Help!
00:04:17Help!
00:04:18Help!
00:04:19Hold on!
00:04:20Help.
00:04:21Help!
00:04:22Help!
00:04:23Hold on!
00:04:25Help!
00:04:26Help!
00:04:27Help!
00:04:28Help!
00:04:29Help!
00:04:30I have made my pact with the old suburb.
00:04:45Hear me.
00:04:46Burn which! Burn which! Burn which! Burn which! Burn which! Burn which! Burn which!
00:04:56Burn, witch! Burn, witch! Burn, burn, burn!
00:05:03So shouted the people of Whitewood when they burned Elizabeth Selwyn in 1692.
00:05:08Though as I've said, little is known today of the actual practice of witchcraft in 17th century New England.
00:05:14Superstition, fear, and jealousy drove the Puritans to accuse their friends and relatives of consorting with the devil.
00:05:20So, raiding around huge bonfires, repeating vindictive chants, they consigned the poor creatures to the flames.
00:05:28The tortured souls cried out in agony as the flames mounted higher and higher.
00:05:32Burn, witch! Burn, witch! Burn, burn, burn!
00:05:35Dig that crazy beat.
00:05:37Shh!
00:05:41That will be all for today.
00:05:44Tomorrow will be my concluding lecture on the history of witchcraft in 17th century New England.
00:05:48I shall bring along some illustrations, which I'm sure will interest you all.
00:05:51Helping the matches.
00:05:55Maitland!
00:05:57Since you chose to attend these lectures, I had hoped that it was in a spirit of scientific curiosity about the subject.
00:06:06That will be all.
00:06:10Bill, how could you?
00:06:12Who takes it all so darn serious? He's got you all hypnotized.
00:06:15Oh, Miss Barlow.
00:06:18Yes, Professor.
00:06:18Can I see you for a moment, please?
00:06:20What about our date?
00:06:22Look, um, I'll wait for you outside.
00:06:29Yes, Professor.
00:06:32How a difficult young man, that.
00:06:35I fear that you are more of an attraction to him than my poor efforts.
00:06:37However, I've been reading through your papers, Miss Barlow.
00:06:41They show a very sound appreciation of the subjects.
00:06:43I want to go to New England to do my senior paper.
00:06:46Uh-huh.
00:06:47They're really quite good, you know.
00:06:48Oh, I'm not quite sure.
00:06:53Some first-hand research.
00:06:55I want to get the atmosphere.
00:06:56Find out how widespread witchcraft really was.
00:06:59What the witches were really like.
00:07:01That might take a little time, you know.
00:07:03Well, I have the time.
00:07:04My brother and I were going to spend our vacation with our cousins.
00:07:07What I'd really like to do
00:07:08is to get a room in the smallest, oldest town in New England I can find.
00:07:14Check through all the town hall records.
00:07:16Recheck the libraries.
00:07:18Talk to the Puritan descendants.
00:07:19Make a really thorough investigation.
00:07:23Your brother is a professor of science, Miss Barlow.
00:07:25I hardly think he'd be very interested in the history of witchcraft.
00:07:28Then I'd go alone.
00:07:29You don't think he'd object to that?
00:07:31You leave Richard to me.
00:07:33He's picking me up here for lunch.
00:07:36What, Bill?
00:07:39Professor Barlow.
00:07:40Nan here?
00:07:42Yeah, she's in there with him.
00:07:45Well, I don't like her getting mixed up in this witchcraft business.
00:07:48Why not?
00:07:49It's only part of her history course.
00:07:51Professor Barlow.
00:07:53Before you go in there, could I have a word with you?
00:07:56Sure.
00:07:57Well, it's about Nan and me.
00:07:59Oh.
00:08:00If you're really serious about this,
00:08:02I have to know the town in New England.
00:08:03As a matter of fact, it's the identical place
00:08:05where the events occurred that I mentioned in today's lecture.
00:08:07Whitewood.
00:08:09It's quite a small place.
00:08:10It's a little bit off the beaten track.
00:08:12So maybe these directions will help you.
00:08:17I think you might very well find what you're looking for there.
00:08:20I have to know the woman who owns the inn at Whitewood.
00:08:22Her name is Newellis.
00:08:23Mrs. Newellis.
00:08:24So you just tell her I sent you.
00:08:27Raven's Inn, Whitewood.
00:08:29What's Whitewood?
00:08:32Now, Dick, don't be too upset,
00:08:34but I'm going to change my plans for the vacation.
00:08:38Change your plans?
00:08:39Yes.
00:08:41Going to a place called Whitewood for a week or so
00:08:43to do some research.
00:08:44Who are you?
00:08:46What about Cousin Sue?
00:08:47She's expecting you for a birthday party on the 17th.
00:08:50She'll never forget you.
00:08:51I can still easily make it by then.
00:08:52This is important.
00:08:54My term paper's got to be good.
00:08:56It could mean a scholarship.
00:08:57Man, I've made all the ways.
00:08:58Come on, Dick.
00:08:59You'll have a good time without me.
00:09:02My mind's made up.
00:09:03I'm going to Whitewood.
00:09:04Surely any good encyclopedia will give you all the nonsense you want to know about witchcraft.
00:09:09Witchcraft is not nonsense, Barlow.
00:09:12I'm sorry, Driscoll.
00:09:14Witchcraft.
00:09:15Like magic sorcery.
00:09:17To me, it's nothing but fairy tale mumbo-jumbo.
00:09:20I'm a scientist, Driscoll.
00:09:21I believe what I can see, what I can feel and touch.
00:09:24The basis of fairy tales is reality.
00:09:26The basis of reality is fairy tales.
00:09:28Did you ever meet a witch, Driscoll?
00:09:34Perhaps.
00:09:35Oh, come on.
00:09:36You're an historian.
00:09:38No witch ever survived the burning at the stake for all that pact with the devil.
00:09:42In 1692, Elizabeth Selwyn went to the stake.
00:09:47She was buried in a churchyard in New England.
00:09:51And yet three years later.
00:09:52Yeah.
00:09:53Three years later, a new wave of blood sacrifices broke out in the village that they condemned her.
00:09:58The daughters of the elders who had condemned her were themselves found murdered with every last drop of blood drained from their bodies.
00:10:04And afterwards, people came forward to testify that they had actually seen Elizabeth Selwyn.
00:10:09Oh, stop.
00:10:11This would be more effective at midnight with howling winds and crashing thunder.
00:10:14And even then, it wouldn't frighten anyone.
00:10:17Dick, I'm sorry, Professor Driscoll.
00:10:21That's all right, Miss Barrow.
00:10:24You won't be the first person to have scoffed at the subject.
00:10:28Honey, when you get to, um, where is it?
00:10:31Whitewood.
00:10:31Ah, yes, Whitewood.
00:10:32Well, send me a picture postcard of a witch.
00:10:36If possible, autographed.
00:10:37Now, uh, let's have some lunch, eh?
00:10:39I'm sorry, I have a date.
00:10:41Nan, darling, I still don't see why you have to go off to this Whitewood place.
00:11:00Now, I thought we were going to have some time together during this vacation.
00:11:04You know I want to be with you.
00:11:06It's just this is important.
00:11:06Look, what the heck can you find that hasn't been found before?
00:11:11I don't know.
00:11:13It's just that maybe, hidden in some attic or buried in some old antique shop, there's something
00:11:18that might give a whole new outlook to the subject.
00:11:20Oh, what new outlook can that be?
00:11:22You're a science student.
00:11:24Honey, you know how important research is.
00:11:26But this isn't about anything real.
00:11:28This is just superstitious people burning silly old women.
00:11:32But suppose the women weren't silly.
00:11:34Suppose they really had a pact with the devil.
00:11:37A pact that could have supernatural power.
00:11:39Oh, come on, what kind of power?
00:11:42I don't know.
00:11:50Look, it's no use, Bill.
00:11:52We've both tried our hardest to talk her out of going.
00:11:57Do you really think she will find anything worthwhile?
00:11:59Well, I think we have to respect a desire to find something new, even if we don't agree with the subject.
00:12:05Agree with it?
00:12:06I've never heard so much nonsense as that guy Driscoll talks in all my life.
00:12:11Well, here I am, all packed.
00:12:13Oh, I suppose nothing I can say will stop you from going, huh?
00:12:17Yeah, well, I'll put this in the car.
00:12:25I still hoped you'd change your mind, Nan.
00:12:27Don't worry, darling.
00:12:28I'll be back as quick as I can, and I'll write.
00:12:33Well, don't forget me altogether, huh?
00:12:37I won't.
00:12:38Give Sue my love, and don't forget we have a date at our party.
00:12:42Bye, darling.
00:12:58Uh, excuse me, can you help me? I seem to be lost.
00:13:10Sure, if I can.
00:13:12I'm looking for the Whamport Road.
00:13:13Whamport Road? How do anyone use that anymore?
00:13:16Well, my friend gave me the directions, uh, take Road 28A, turn onto the Whamport Road, bear left at the fork through to Whitewood.
00:13:23Whitewood?
00:13:24Uh, am I that far away?
00:13:27No, ma'am, not far.
00:13:29Not many God-fearing folks visit Whitewood nowadays.
00:13:31If I were you, I'd...
00:13:32If, if you'll excuse me, I'm in a hurry.
00:13:34Which way is it?
00:13:36Well, follow this road about two miles.
00:13:38You come to a fork.
00:13:39There'll be a sign, Whamport Road.
00:13:41Turn left, keep straight.
00:13:42There'll be Whitewood.
00:13:43Thank you very much.
00:13:44Thank you very much.
00:14:14Does that sign say Whamport Road?
00:14:23Whamport Road, yes.
00:14:25Oh, good. I was afraid I missed it.
00:14:26Is it, uh, Whitewood you seek?
00:14:29Yes.
00:14:30I, too.
00:14:31Uh, would I be imposing if...
00:14:33No, of course not. Get in.
00:14:44I'd think the Highway Commission would do something about these roads.
00:14:48Wish out here comes another bump.
00:14:49What is your mission in Whitewood?
00:14:56Mission?
00:14:58Well, I'm going there to do some research on witchcraft.
00:15:02Professor Driscoll gave us some very interesting lectures on the subject.
00:15:05I'm going there to get some original source material.
00:15:07Do you know Whitewood?
00:15:11I've known it for many years.
00:15:13Do you go there often?
00:15:14Fairly often.
00:15:15Oh, then you must know the Raven's Inn.
00:15:17I shall be resting there.
00:15:19Oh, so shall I.
00:15:21Oh, my name's Nan Barlow.
00:15:23My name's Jethro Keene.
00:15:25Pleased to meet you.
00:15:27Pleased to meet you.
00:15:28Pleased to meet you.
00:15:58Look at that church.
00:16:01Must have been beautiful.
00:16:03What a shame they let it get so run down.
00:16:08Straight on?
00:16:09Yes, follow the road around.
00:16:22Ah, there it is.
00:16:24What a lovely old building.
00:16:27Seventeenth century, at least.
00:16:29How picturesque can you get?
00:16:31Right by the graveyard.
00:16:34Yes, it has not been used for more than 200 years.
00:16:37Any witches buried there?
00:16:39There are indeed.
00:16:40All in a section of unconsecrated ground.
00:16:44Spooky, isn't it?
00:16:45Well, keep your fingers crossed for me, Mr. Keene.
00:16:50I hope Mrs. Newell has that room.
00:16:52No.
00:17:00No.
00:17:02No.
00:17:06No.
00:17:06No.
00:17:08No.
00:17:39Oh, I didn't hear you come in.
00:18:06Are you Mrs. Newlas?
00:18:07Oh, uh, I'm Nan Barlow.
00:18:11I was told I might find a room here.
00:18:15I was recommended by a friend of mine, Professor Driscoll.
00:18:18Perhaps you know him.
00:18:19That will be all, Lottie.
00:18:27I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
00:18:29Unfortunately, Lottie cannot talk.
00:18:31I've often told her not to answer the bell.
00:18:34Oh, poor thing.
00:18:35Then you're Mrs. Newlas.
00:18:36I am.
00:18:37May I help you?
00:18:38Yes, I'd like to have a room here for two weeks.
00:18:41The hotel is quite full.
00:18:44Oh, the guests are never about at this time of the day.
00:18:47Well, I'm a student of Professor Driscoll's.
00:18:50He told me if I mentioned his name, I'd have no trouble.
00:18:52Well, there is a room I could let you have.
00:18:58It's just off the lobby.
00:18:59Oh, thank you.
00:19:01Oh, Mrs. Newlas, that plaque.
00:19:05Is it true that Elizabeth Selwyn was really burnt here for being a witch?
00:19:10She was.
00:19:12And do you believe she was a witch?
00:19:13Come along.
00:19:17I'll show you to your room.
00:19:22I hope you will be comfortable.
00:19:32Yes, it is a nice room.
00:19:35The previous occupants have always found it most agreeable.
00:19:38Well, if there's anything you should need, just ring the bell for me at the desk.
00:20:12It's been so many months.
00:20:27I've counted the days to this holiday.
00:20:32So have the others.
00:20:33It wasn't easy for some of my guests to get here.
00:20:37Many had to travel vast distances.
00:20:39I was lucky.
00:20:40The last few miles were enchanting.
00:20:43Miss Barlow is very good company.
00:20:46You must be tired, Jethro.
00:20:48Your room is ready.
00:20:49And the festivities.
00:20:51I am prepared.
00:21:02Oh, Mrs. Newlas.
00:21:03I thought I'd have a short look around town.
00:21:06I won't be gone long.
00:21:07I think you'll find the church interesting.
00:21:10Unfortunately, it no longer has a congregation.
00:21:12He will be pleased.
00:21:21He will be pleased.
00:21:42I don't know.
00:22:06I am told this was once a house of worship.
00:22:24It is still a house of worship.
00:22:27I am the reverend of this church.
00:22:29As long as the breath of life is within me,
00:22:32this house shall remain God's house.
00:22:36It must have been a beautiful building.
00:22:38To me, it is still beautiful.
00:22:42I am sorry.
00:22:44What a shame the people have let it fall into such a state.
00:22:47Strangers rarely come to Whitewood.
00:22:50Who are you?
00:22:52I am Nan Barlow.
00:22:53I am staying at the Raven's Inn.
00:22:55Why have you come to Whitewood?
00:22:58Well, because I am interested in witchcraft.
00:23:01Young woman, leave Whitewood.
00:23:04Leave Whitewood tonight.
00:23:06For three hundred years, the devil has hovered over the city,
00:23:11made it his own.
00:23:13The people in it are his.
00:23:15Evil has triumphed over good here.
00:23:20Look at my church.
00:23:21I have no parish.
00:23:23No one worships here.
00:23:26His is the power.
00:23:27What power?
00:23:28What power?
00:23:30Leave Whitewood.
00:23:32Leave Whitewood tonight.
00:23:34I beg of you.
00:23:36What power?
00:23:37Leave before it is too late.
00:23:40Let's do it.
00:23:40Only one worships here.
00:23:40I beg of you.
00:24:01THE END
00:24:31Good evening
00:24:32Good evening
00:24:33Please excuse the mess, we haven't been open long
00:24:36You have some very interesting things here
00:24:38Yes, they belong to my grandmother
00:24:40When she died I came back to sort things out
00:24:42Oh, I'm sorry
00:24:43Then you don't live here
00:24:45No, my family have lived here for generations
00:24:47But I've just been back a few weeks
00:24:48Would you like to have a look around?
00:24:51Thank you
00:24:51Oh, I didn't mean to frighten you when I came in
00:24:54It's just that all the people I've met here
00:24:57Acted like I'm a person from another world
00:25:00They don't see many strangers here
00:25:02And I had the most, well, unusual experience with the reverend
00:25:07He barred my way from the church
00:25:09And he talked to me about a curse
00:25:11And he warned me to leave Whitewood
00:25:14Can you explain that?
00:25:17No, I can't
00:25:18Does he often act that way?
00:25:21He's my grandfather
00:25:22Oh, I'm sorry
00:25:24Oh, he's all right
00:25:24It's happened before with strangers
00:25:26Oh, the lack of parishioners
00:25:28And loss of his sight
00:25:29Has made him bitter and suspicious
00:25:31I'm afraid
00:25:32But with him and the town
00:25:33I was very scared
00:25:35When I saw your lights
00:25:36I made a dash for them
00:25:37I'm glad you did
00:25:38Um, do you have any books or pamphlets on witchcraft?
00:25:44You do, don't you?
00:25:45A friend of mine
00:25:45Well, we have a collection gathering dust
00:25:48But why on earth would you be interested in
00:25:50Oh, I'm sorry
00:25:51It's really none of my business
00:25:52No, that's all right
00:25:53I'm studying it in college
00:25:54And I've come here to write my term paper
00:25:56Well, just wait
00:25:57I'll see what I can find
00:25:58That's Elizabeth Selwyn
00:26:08Burned as a witch
00:26:09March 3rd, 1692
00:26:11Yes, I know
00:26:12I saw the plaque in the lobby of the hotel
00:26:13You were staying at the Ravens Inn?
00:26:16Yes
00:26:17It was recommended to me by a friend of mine
00:26:19Professor Driscoll
00:26:19Alan Driscoll?
00:26:21Yes, do you know him?
00:26:22No, but my grandfather speaks of him
00:26:24His family come from here
00:26:25Oh, I didn't know that
00:26:26Here, I think this will do for a start
00:26:28The lovely locket
00:26:32May I see it?
00:26:35I believe it's quite old
00:26:36It is
00:26:37You're very lucky
00:26:38I'm even more lucky to have found this
00:26:41The Treaties on Devil Worship in New England
00:26:44This must be a very rare book
00:26:46I'm afraid I couldn't afford to buy it
00:26:49You can borrow it, if you like
00:26:52Oh, could I?
00:26:52That would be wonderful
00:26:53I promise I'll bring it back in a few days
00:26:55You're very welcome
00:26:56Miss, uh
00:26:57Barlow
00:26:57Nan Barlow
00:26:58Nan Barlow
00:26:59Nan Barlow
00:26:59Thank you very much
00:27:01Good night
00:27:01Good night
00:27:02Good night
00:27:26Mrs. Newlas
00:27:36Mrs. Newlas
00:27:38Mrs. Newlas
00:27:39Yes, Miss Barlow
00:27:41I've heard some strange noises in my room
00:27:57Oh, possibly the water in the pipes
00:27:59This is a very old inn
00:28:00No, it seemed to be coming from the cellar underneath
00:28:02I hardly think so, Miss Barlow
00:28:04The cellars do not extend beneath your room
00:28:06Then why is there a trap door in the floor?
00:28:09The ground was filled in many years ago
00:28:11To strengthen the foundations of the building
00:28:12But I'm sure I
00:28:14If you insist, I will come and see you
00:28:15I don't hear anything
00:28:26But just a few minutes ago
00:28:29Never mind, I'm sorry
00:28:33You're welcome
00:28:33But you can see for yourself
00:28:35There is no ring in the trap door
00:28:36Because there is no reason to lift it
00:28:38There is nothing underneath but earth
00:28:41There is no ring in the trap door
00:29:11Come in.
00:29:23Oh, hello, Lottie. Come in.
00:29:26I don't need any more towels.
00:29:28I haven't used mine, and they're quite clean.
00:29:30Lottie, I've told you before not to bother the guests.
00:29:47Miss Barlow, I thought you might care to join the others.
00:29:50I will, as soon as I finish my notes.
00:29:52I'll put some clothes on them, join them.
00:29:55A treatise on devil worship in New England.
00:29:58Well, do you find this interesting?
00:30:01Why, it's fascinating.
00:30:02The things I've learnt.
00:30:04I bet you don't know the half of it.
00:30:06And you live right here on a spot where the witches were actually burnt.
00:30:10Listen to this.
00:30:11On Candlemas Eve, February 1st, in the year 1692,
00:30:17a coven of witches, a coven that's 13, some men, some women,
00:30:21whose power came from the devil,
00:30:23gathered beneath the Raven's Inn
00:30:25to perform a black mass in the honor of Lucifer.
00:30:29The witch, Elizabeth Selwyn,
00:30:31later to be burnt at the stake,
00:30:33marked a young girl for sacrifice
00:30:35by obtaining an object of value belonging to her,
00:30:38with which to call her.
00:30:40And leaving in its place
00:30:41a dead bird and a sprig of woodbine,
00:30:45the witches sacrificed her on the altar
00:30:47and drank her blood at the hour of 13.
00:30:50What's the hour of 13?
00:30:54Well, personally, I have never heard a clock strike more than 12.
00:30:57Now, how about joining the dancing?
00:30:59In a little while, I promise.
00:31:01Oh, by the way,
00:31:03I seem to have misplaced my locket.
00:31:06I remember having it in my room,
00:31:07and now it's disappeared.
00:31:08Oh, I'm sorry.
00:31:09I'll ask Lottie.
00:31:11Well, I'm not saying it was stolen.
00:31:13It's just, I remember having it on the dresser,
00:31:15and now it's gone.
00:31:17I would appreciate it.
00:31:18Of course.
00:31:19I'll look into it immediately.
00:31:29Lottie,
00:31:30I have warned you too often about annoying our guests.
00:31:34If you disobey me again,
00:31:35I shall turn you out.
00:31:37And if I turn you out,
00:31:39there will be no place for you anywhere.
00:31:41You do understand, Lottie, don't you?
00:31:45You do understand, Lottie, don't you?
00:32:15There will no place for you.
00:32:16All right.
00:32:37Let's go.
00:33:07Ah, Miss Barlow.
00:33:18I'm afraid Lottie is nowhere to be found, but I will inquire about your locket first thing in the morning.
00:33:22Oh, thank you.
00:33:23Where is everybody?
00:33:25Most of the other guests have gone to services.
00:33:28Services on the first of February.
00:33:32Candlemas Eve.
00:33:33The night when the witches mock the rituals of the church.
00:33:39Are you all right, Miss Barlow?
00:33:42Yes, quite. Thank you.
00:33:45Good night.
00:33:45Good night, Miss Barlow.
00:33:46Come.
00:34:05Mrs. Nolus!
00:34:07Mrs. Nolus!
00:34:09Mrs. Nolus!
00:34:10Mrs. Nolus!
00:34:26Mrs. Nolus!
00:34:36Mrs. Nolus!
00:34:37Mrs. Nolus!
00:34:39I'm going to go.
00:35:09I'll see you next time.
00:35:39Let's go.
00:36:09Let's go.
00:36:39Help!
00:36:40No!
00:36:42No!
00:36:47Help me!
00:36:48Help!
00:36:49No!
00:36:50Let me go!
00:36:52No!
00:36:53No!
00:36:54Take your hands off me!
00:36:56Let me go!
00:36:58No!
00:36:59No!
00:37:00No!
00:37:01No!
00:37:02No!
00:37:03No!
00:37:04No!
00:37:05Let go of me!
00:37:06No!
00:37:07No!
00:37:08No!
00:37:09No!
00:37:10No!
00:37:11No!
00:37:12No!
00:37:13No!
00:37:14No!
00:37:15No!
00:37:16No!
00:37:17No!
00:37:18No!
00:37:19No!
00:37:20Six.
00:37:21Seven.
00:37:22Seven.
00:37:23No!
00:37:24No!
00:37:25No!
00:37:26No!
00:37:27No!
00:37:28No!
00:37:29No!
00:37:30I am Elizabeth Selwyn.
00:37:32No!
00:37:33No!
00:37:34Eleven.
00:37:35No!
00:37:36Let's go, Peter!
00:37:37Let's go!
00:37:38Ah!
00:37:39Ah!
00:37:40Ah!
00:37:41Hey!
00:37:42Happy birthday to you.
00:37:46Happy birthday to you.
00:37:49Happy birthday, dear Susie.
00:37:52Happy birthday to you.
00:37:54Happy birthday to you.
00:38:06Yummy.
00:38:07Delicious.
00:38:08Dick, have you got any idea what's happened to man?
00:38:12I'm sure she'll show up.
00:38:13She probably met a good-looking he-witch.
00:38:15And was bringing him along to the party,
00:38:16only they broomstick blew her casket.
00:38:18Well, it's not like Nan to be late for anything.
00:38:20What'd you get worried about, huh?
00:38:22Oh, she'll be here.
00:38:23I'm sure she'll make it.
00:38:24Well, she's probably here now.
00:38:26You answer the door, and I'm going to put a record on for some dancing.
00:38:29All right.
00:38:35Hi, Dick.
00:38:36Bill.
00:38:37Oh, what's the matter?
00:38:38You expecting somebody else?
00:38:39Oh, yes, Nan.
00:38:40Look, come in, come in.
00:38:42Well, Nan, didn't she hear you?
00:38:45We made a day to meet here before she left for Whitewood.
00:38:48Well, she probably got held up.
00:38:49Look, look, give me your coat, huh?
00:38:51Nan was never late for anything in her life.
00:38:54Relax.
00:38:55Take it easy.
00:38:56Join the party.
00:38:57She'll be here.
00:38:58She'll be here.
00:39:02Dick.
00:39:06Dick, I haven't had a letter from Nan in over two weeks now.
00:39:09She's probably been too busy working on her paper.
00:39:11No, no, there's something wrong.
00:39:12I know it.
00:39:13Look, will you do something for me?
00:39:15Hmm?
00:39:16Ring up Whitewood, will you?
00:39:17Ask him, ask him if she's left.
00:39:19You serious?
00:39:20Yes, I am.
00:39:23Okay.
00:39:28Hello, long distance.
00:39:37I'd like to speak with Miss Nan Barlow at the Raven's Inn, Whitewood.
00:39:43No, I don't know the phone number.
00:39:46What?
00:39:47Didn't she give you the phone number?
00:39:48Oh, I know, but that's my sister.
00:39:55They say there's no such place as the Raven's Inn.
00:39:58But that's crazy.
00:39:59She's staying there.
00:40:03Give me the police.
00:40:10She left in such a hurry, she must have forgotten to return it to you, Miss Russell.
00:40:14She seems such a nice girl, too.
00:40:15Wouldn't have thought she was the sort who'd forget to return a book.
00:40:18We cannot always judge by our first impressions, can we?
00:40:22I'm not usually wrong about the people I lend my books to.
00:40:25Well, perhaps you'll be more careful in future.
00:40:28Thank you for letting me have it.
00:40:29Remember me to your grandfather.
00:40:37Lottie!
00:40:38Get out of the way, you clumsy creature.
00:40:40Can I help you?
00:40:52Yes, we're from the sheriff's office.
00:40:54We had a call this evening.
00:40:55A missing person's report from some college kid named Nan Barlow.
00:40:59The party calling said that her last known whereabouts was the Raven's Inn.
00:41:02Nan Barlow, that's strange.
00:41:04Yes, I met her.
00:41:06When did you last see her?
00:41:08About two weeks ago.
00:41:09She came to my shop and borrowed this book.
00:41:11It's quite valuable.
00:41:12And so not hearing from her, I decided to come and get it.
00:41:15Mrs. Newless had it.
00:41:17May I?
00:41:20That treat is on devil worship.
00:41:23I must put this in the report.
00:41:25A peculiar thing some of these college kids do nowadays.
00:41:28Well, thanks for your help.
00:41:30Come on, Charlie.
00:41:58Hello?
00:41:59Yeah.
00:42:00It's the police.
00:42:01Yeah.
00:42:02Okay, thanks.
00:42:05Well?
00:42:06Police sent a car out to the Raven's Inn.
00:42:07Man checked out two weeks ago.
00:42:08No.
00:42:09No.
00:42:10No.
00:42:11No.
00:42:12No.
00:42:13No.
00:42:14No.
00:42:15No.
00:42:16No.
00:42:17No.
00:42:18No.
00:42:19No.
00:42:20No.
00:42:21No.
00:42:22No.
00:42:23No.
00:42:24No.
00:42:25No.
00:42:26No.
00:42:27No.
00:42:28No.
00:42:29No.
00:42:30No.
00:42:31No.
00:42:32No.
00:42:33No.
00:42:34No.
00:42:35That way to the Raven's Inn.
00:42:36Man checked out two weeks ago.
00:42:37I don't get it.
00:42:38And neither do I.
00:42:40Look.
00:42:41These are Nans books and papers.
00:42:42Go through them.
00:42:43See if you can find anything which might give us a lead.
00:42:44I'm going to pay a visit to a colleague of mine.
00:43:02Oh Lord of Light, accept the sacrifice.
00:43:32My Barlow, can I come in?
00:43:58Of course, please do.
00:44:00Can I take your coat?
00:44:02I had to phone you last night, but I guess you weren't in.
00:44:05No, I wasn't.
00:44:07Would you care to go in the city?
00:44:12Sit yourself down.
00:44:14Thanks.
00:44:17You take a drink?
00:44:19Ryan's soda.
00:44:21Ice, please.
00:44:24What's on your mind?
00:44:25The man's missing.
00:44:27She has been since the day after she arrived at Whitewood.
00:44:30Really? Are you quite sure?
00:44:32That's what the police said.
00:44:34What are they doing about it?
00:44:36Carrying out a routine check.
00:44:37I don't suppose they can do much more until they've got something definite to go on.
00:44:41I would have thought there was a very great deal more they could do.
00:44:43What?
00:44:44As far as they're concerned, she disappeared two weeks ago and no one in the village seems to know anything about it.
00:44:48What do you come see me for?
00:44:50I thought you might have some ideas.
00:44:53Why did you send her to Whitewood?
00:44:55Because it was the best place for her research.
00:44:57And you suggested she stay at the Raven's Inn.
00:44:59Sure, it's the only inn there is.
00:45:00But an unlisted firm number.
00:45:01The inn has its own clientele, Barlow.
00:45:03It doesn't need to advertise.
00:45:04How do you know it so well?
00:45:05Because I was born in Whitewood.
00:45:07I see.
00:45:08And you'd have every reason to believe she'd be perfectly safe in going there.
00:45:12There's no reason to suppose that she wouldn't be.
00:45:14Land struck me as being perfectly capable of taking care of herself.
00:45:18I grant you that, but why hasn't she come back or let us know?
00:45:21Look, Barlow, I can understand your anxiety, but I'm quite sure there's nothing of you to worry about.
00:45:25Nothing at all.
00:45:26She's probably got absorbed in subjects and gone off someplace.
00:45:29I wish that all my class had her application.
00:45:32Well, I'm going to find out where this application led her.
00:45:35I'm going to retrace every step Nan took.
00:45:38I'm either going to find Nan or know what happened to her.
00:45:51I can't stop you from going.
00:45:52No.
00:45:53I'm not afraid.
00:45:55Why?
00:45:56Well, if anything did happen to your sister and somebody else went along to try and find out about it.
00:46:00The same thing might happen to them?
00:46:02Possible.
00:46:03You seem to think something happened to my sister then.
00:46:06No, I just think you're jumping to conclusions, Barlow.
00:46:08Maybe, but I shall find her.
00:46:12Professor Driscoll?
00:46:13Yes.
00:46:14I don't like to disturb you, but may I see you?
00:46:16Well, of course, please come in.
00:46:18Good luck in Whitewood.
00:46:19Thanks.
00:46:20I'm sorry, but did you say he was going to Whitewood?
00:46:24Yes, he is.
00:46:25Silly to be surprised, but I've just come from Whitewood.
00:46:31Really?
00:46:32It's quite a coincidence.
00:46:33My own family happens to come from Whitewood.
00:46:35As a matter of fact, I was born there.
00:46:36Yes, I know.
00:46:37Please sit down.
00:46:41Do you care for a drink?
00:46:42No, thank you.
00:46:45I think you know my grandfather, the Reverend Russell.
00:46:49Russell?
00:46:50Well, yes, of course I do.
00:46:51How long have you been living in Whitewood?
00:46:53Since my grandmother died a few weeks ago.
00:46:55Oh, I'm sorry.
00:46:57Well, now, how can I help you?
00:47:00I've come about a pupil of yours, Barlow. Nan Barlow?
00:47:04Yes.
00:47:05She came to Whitewood two weeks ago.
00:47:07I met her and liked her, and she told me that she was a student in one of your classes.
00:47:11That you recommended that she stay at the Raven's Inn.
00:47:15That's quite right, I did.
00:47:16Well, that's what I've come to see you about.
00:47:18On the day after she arrived, she disappeared.
00:47:21Oh?
00:47:22Later, the police came asking questions.
00:47:24Her family were worried.
00:47:25I thought you might have their address.
00:47:27And why do you want her family's address?
00:47:30Because I have something of hers I want to return.
00:47:34Well, you just leave it with me, and I'll make sure they get it safely.
00:47:38Well, I don't want to trouble you if you just give me their address.
00:47:42As you wish.
00:47:43Her address is Dorchester Street.
00:47:48225.
00:47:49She lives with her brother.
00:47:50As a matter of fact, he's a colleague of mine, and you just met him.
00:47:52He was leaving when you arrived.
00:47:55Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a lot of work to do.
00:47:57I'm rather a busy man for a moment.
00:47:58Of course. Thank you for your help.
00:47:59Not at all, I hope. It'll achieve something.
00:48:01Well, you will remember me to your grandfather, won't you?
00:48:04Yes, of course.
00:48:05Goodbye.
00:48:06Goodbye, Miss Russell.
00:48:08Yeah, it's Nan's luck at all right.
00:48:11As far as I know, it's unique.
00:48:12I gave it to her. Where did you get it?
00:48:14The servant at the inn gave it to me.
00:48:16It was strange. I don't know what to do.
00:48:17I'm going to be a busy man for a moment.
00:48:18I'm going to be a busy man for a moment.
00:48:19Of course. Thank you for your help.
00:48:20Not at all, I hope. It'll achieve something.
00:48:22Well, you will remember me to your grandfather, won't you?
00:48:24Yes, of course.
00:48:25Goodbye.
00:48:26Goodbye.
00:48:27Goodbye, Miss Russell.
00:48:28The servant at the inn gave it to me. It was strange.
00:48:31I don't think she wanted Mrs. Newless to know I had it.
00:48:33Mrs. Newless?
00:48:34She runs the inn.
00:48:35Well, why did you come here, Miss Russell?
00:48:38I found this.
00:48:43Professor Driscoll's note paper.
00:48:44I found it in the pages of a book I lent your sister on her first evening in Whitewood.
00:48:49When she didn't return it, I went to the hotel.
00:48:51What was the book?
00:48:52An old book. A book about witchcraft.
00:48:55Do you believe in it, Miss Russell?
00:48:58I don't know.
00:48:59Sometimes I almost think I live with it.
00:49:02Live with it?
00:49:03An obsession of my grandfather's.
00:49:05Up till now, I didn't take him very seriously.
00:49:07He's an old man.
00:49:08Now I'm beginning to wonder if what he says isn't true.
00:49:12What does he say?
00:49:13That there's something evil about the village.
00:49:16That on certain nights, the inhabitants leave the streets, close their doors and stay behind them.
00:49:21That on these nights, the dead come to life.
00:49:26Nights like Candlemas Eve?
00:49:29What do you know about Candlemas Eve?
00:49:31It's in one of Nan's books.
00:49:33I don't believe it.
00:49:43Things like this don't happen today.
00:49:45In Whitewood, I wonder.
00:49:48I'm going to Whitewood tomorrow after classes.
00:49:50I can give you a lift.
00:49:52Thank you, but I must get back.
00:49:54I can't leave my grandfather alone.
00:49:55He's blind.
00:49:56May I come and see you when I arrive?
00:49:58I'd like to have a talk with him.
00:50:00Please do.
00:50:01Go to the house next to the church.
00:50:02Goodbye.

00:53:52Okay, fine, thanks very much.
00:54:14Jesse, remember him bye?
00:54:30Wide, wide.
00:54:39I am Tanner.
00:55:13Good evening.
00:55:18Good evening.
00:55:19I'd like a room, please.
00:55:20The inn is closing.
00:55:22I'll only be here a few days.
00:55:24But the inn is closing.
00:55:25When?
00:55:26In two days.
00:55:27Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to stay until then.
00:55:30If you insist.
00:55:35Could I have the same room my sister had?
00:55:40Still available, isn't it?
00:55:41Yes, it's available.
00:55:43Mrs. Newlis, you told the police that my sister checked out.
00:55:46You are mistaken, Mr. Barlow.
00:55:48I told them that on the morning of February 2nd, I went to her room and found it empty,
00:55:52her bed not slept in, her luggage and car gone, and her bill unpaid.
00:55:56Well, you can put the charges on mine.
00:55:58When was the last time you saw her?
00:56:00On the evening of February 1st.
00:56:02It was shortly before midnight.
00:56:03She'd been in the lobby here dancing with some of the guests.
00:56:05She seemed to be enjoying herself.
00:56:07Did any particular guests pay a special attention to her?
00:56:11Not that I noticed.
00:56:13Your sister kept very much to herself.
00:56:15You know why she came to Whitewood?
00:56:17It is not my habit to inquire into people's private business.
00:56:21Would the fact that she was investigating witchcraft have antagonized anyone in the village?
00:56:25Hardly.
00:56:27There have been other students here, you know.
00:56:30Beside, your sister was a very agreeable and likable young woman.
00:56:33Have you any idea where she might have gone?
00:56:36None.
00:56:38Now, may I see the room?
00:56:40As you wish.
00:56:41It is this way.
00:56:42If you should need anything, and I am not at the desk, you have only to ring the bell.
00:58:42I've been talking with Mrs. Newlis, and then I took a walk around the village.
00:58:46Find out anything?
00:58:48Everyone here seems to be afraid of something.
00:58:51And you don't think it's just my imagination?
00:58:53I don't know.
00:58:54Who's to say where imagination ends and truth begins?
00:58:57It's nothing tangible.
00:58:58It's just the way they look at you.
00:59:01I felt it too.
00:59:03May I see the book that Nan borrowed?
00:59:05Yes.
00:59:06I put a marker between the pages where she must have stopped reading.
00:59:10Just sit down and I'll tell my grandfather you're here.
00:59:40I warned you, Luffy.
00:59:43I warned you, Luffy.
00:59:47I warned you, Lottie.
01:00:17Grandfather, this is Mr. Barlow.
01:00:37How do you do, sir?
01:00:39God be with you.
01:00:40Shall we sit where we'll be more comfortable?
01:00:46Here's your chair, Grandfather. You must be tired.
01:00:49I am very tired.
01:00:51I have little strength left these days for the fight.
01:00:55Won't you sit down? I'll make some coffee.
01:00:57The fight against what, Mr. Russell?
01:00:59Against the evil that besets this village.
01:01:02The people are creatures of the devil.
01:01:05They know no other god.
01:01:07You mean they worship Satan here? Today?
01:01:09Satanism was never stronger than at the present time.
01:01:13For 200 years the people of Whitewood have carried out rituals that mock the church's teaching.
01:01:20I find it very hard to believe, sir.
01:01:22Do not doubt, my son. It is real enough.
01:01:26For years I struggled against the witches.
01:01:30Their master took away my sight.
01:01:32Seems incredible.
01:01:34I have tried to convince others.
01:01:36They too found it unbelievable.
01:01:39But I know these people have a pact with the devil.
01:01:43To worship him and do his works.
01:01:46In return, he gives them eternal life.
01:01:50Eternal life?
01:01:51Aye.
01:01:52And to seal this bargain, they must sacrifice a young girl on two nights of the year.
01:01:59When are these nights, sir?
01:02:01Candlemas Eve and the Witch's Sabbath.
01:02:04Candlemas Eve, that's February the first.
01:02:08And when is the Witch's Sabbath?
01:02:10Tonight.
01:02:11Now you know why I came to see you.
01:02:13I had no idea it was so late.
01:02:17May I have a rain shake on the coffee?
01:02:19I'd like to have a few words with Mrs. Knowles again.
01:02:22Of course.
01:02:23Good night, sir.
01:02:24Good night.
01:02:25I'll see you to the door.
01:02:30God be with us.
01:02:32Well, Miss Russell, do you think that Nan's disappearance is connected in some way with these witches' ceremonies?
01:02:39Yes.
01:02:40Well, I'd like to come back later, if I may.
01:02:43Please do.
01:02:44And my name is Pat.
01:02:46Mine's Richard.
01:02:47I think I feel better now you're here.
01:02:49Well, I'm going to stay until I find out what's happened to Nan.
01:02:52Take care.
01:03:05Now drink your coffee before it gets cold.
01:03:08You must not see that young man again tonight.
01:03:11Why not?
01:03:12The devil comes in many disguises.
01:03:15I'll get you a spoon.
01:03:17And, Father, there's a bird in the drawer.
01:03:21It's got an arrow through it.
01:03:22Go and look on the front door.
01:03:27The sprig of woodbine.
01:03:28Shut the door.
01:03:29Shut the door.
01:03:30Shut the door.
01:03:31Quick.
01:03:32Grandfather, what does it mean?
01:03:33Now listen, my darling.
01:03:34This is their sign.
01:03:35The witch's sign.
01:03:36What can we do?
01:03:37We must leave here.
01:03:38Leave here immediately.
01:03:42The doctor.
01:03:43Come.
01:03:44Come.
01:03:45This is their side, the witch's side.
01:03:48What can we do?
01:03:49We must leave here.
01:03:51Leave here immediately.
01:03:58Oh, Dr. Carr.
01:04:12Something's wrong.
01:04:15They've wrecked the car.
01:04:18Barlow!
01:04:19Phone Barlow!
01:04:26Hello? Hello?
01:04:30Hello, I want the Raven's hand.

01:04:44Yes.
01:04:47Hello?
01:04:48Dick!
01:04:49Dick, I'm in terrible danger.
01:04:50We've got to leave Whitewood at once.

01:05:39No, the witches, the witches, have Patricia, destroy them.
01:05:46Mr. Russell, how?
01:05:48The shadow of the cross, to use the cross.
01:05:53I adjure thee, O creatures of salt, by the living God.
