00:01:39There was a young girl, Needle, His, Crack, who enjoyed with her dad scary stories on wax.
00:01:48They listened in secret to tales spun round, presented in scary or phonic sound.
00:01:56When poor daddy died, auntie took up the slack, afraid of her shadow, Needle, His, Crack.
00:02:05As the years fell away, all the tales disappeared, replaced by a world far more frightening and weird.
00:02:18Afraid to move forward, repeating the track, backmasking the story, Needle, His, Crack.
00:02:27There was a young woman, with anger to burn, whose demons demanded the final return.
00:02:37A witch cackles coarsely, a hammer goes jacked.
00:02:41The voices are calling, Needle, His, Crack.
00:02:45Now gather, dear children, don't utter a word.
00:02:50The die-all set at 33 and a third.
00:02:54The record is spinning, the grooves worn and cracked.
00:02:58The story has started, there's no turning back.
00:03:01Now spinning, certain tracks to frighten.

00:04:06Love you.
00:04:14Love you guys.
00:04:16Love you.
00:04:17Thanks for coming.
00:04:22See you Friday.
00:04:24We'll talk about it at lunch.
00:04:36She can't stay in this house by herself.
00:05:00She's a recluse, just like Evie.
00:05:02I'll take care of that.
00:05:05Thanks.
00:05:08I don't think she could handle the upkeep.
00:05:10I mean, they couldn't handle it between the two of them.
00:05:13She can't afford to stay.
00:05:15All she has is that filing job.
00:05:17She's an account manager.
00:05:19Whatever it is, she couldn't be making much.
00:05:22And she certainly can't afford the taxes on this place,
00:05:25which are going to fall on my shoulders now.
00:05:27Did you see that house down the street?
00:05:29Lordy, it looks like it's been abandoned forever.
00:05:33Why, this neighborhood's changed.
00:05:40I don't think she should live here alone.
00:05:44The police still aren't sure what happened the other night.
00:05:47They believe someone broke into the house,
00:05:49even though nothing was stolen.
00:05:50I don't think she should live.
00:05:59I don't know.
00:06:09I don't think she's safe on that.
00:06:18I don't know.
00:07:48Shriek into the black night your cries of horror.
00:07:52But nothing will save you from the macabre tales that you have chosen to play on your turn.
00:07:59Told directly from the spirits of the angry dead, you will hear their stories of violence, madness, and paralyzing horror.
00:08:08Now that you have entered the realm of the dead, you will never be able to...
00:08:15This is completely inappropriate.
00:08:17Agatha!
00:08:18They will...
00:08:19Turn it off!
00:08:19Look, doll, you call us if you need anything, okay?
00:08:35We're going to have to talk about what we're going to do with the house.
00:08:38And soon.
00:08:40Maybe next week sometime.
00:08:42Yeah.
00:08:43Good.
00:08:44Good.
00:08:45And that's when he saw it.
00:09:03A handwritten note that read...
00:09:08Five upon the cedar box.
00:09:09Five upon the cedar box.
00:09:39What happened in your mind?
00:09:41Something terrible or tragic that was too real to be imagined?
00:09:47Maybe it was a nightmare.
00:09:49Perhaps a sudden flash during that boring history class.
00:09:54Did this horrific scene eventually come true?
00:09:57If so, you may be a seer.
00:10:02I'm a seer.
00:10:05I have seen many terrible and frightening things in advance.
00:10:09Several years ago, when the days began to grow shorter, my sight took me to an old lake house where two young mothers, Jess and Peter, were spending their fall break together.
00:10:23They arrived in the black of night, unaware that someone was watching.
00:10:30Well, here we are.
00:10:34Oh, Peter.
00:10:35It's charming.
00:10:37The lights to the kitchen are around here somewhere.
00:10:42Here we go.
00:10:43You were right.
00:10:45This was worth a two-hour drive.
00:10:47And in the morning, you'll be able to see the lake from the back patio.
00:10:52Where is that light coming from?
00:10:55Oh, I think that's the back porch of the Sterlings' place.
00:10:59They're an older couple who live here year-round.
00:11:02They're referred to as townies.
00:11:05Not many of them around anymore.
00:11:07Not since...
00:11:09Not since what?
00:11:10Oh, nothing really.
00:11:12There was some trouble several years ago, but that's all in the past.
00:11:18That sounds a little ominous.
00:11:20You're not trying to scare me, are you?
00:11:23Not at all.
00:11:26Jess walked over to the window, where the light seemed to have grown brighter.
00:11:31As she glanced outside, her eyes slowly began to adjust to the eerie glow of the light passing through the dark trees.
00:11:40Suddenly, the silhouette of a figure standing just a few yards away from their cabin came into view.
00:11:46puzzle
00:11:47A$%&
00:11:58A$%&
00:12:00Mr. Riddle was having an affair.
00:12:30He was there with a woman in his office.
00:12:33It had been going on for some time, but no one in the office seemed to mind.
00:12:38No one liked Riddle much and appreciated anything that gave him a distraction.
00:12:47I'm surprised to see you here.
00:12:48I thought you were going to take a few days off.
00:12:51I had to get out of the house.
00:12:54Yeah.
00:12:55Okay.
00:12:56Don't you get the flowers I sent you?
00:12:58I did.
00:13:00Hmm.
00:13:01Let me know if you want some company later.
00:13:06Riddle was a clever businessman, but less clever when it came to concealing his indiscretions
00:13:29from his wife.
00:13:30The Tomb.
00:13:36After years of abuse from their psychotic father, the two teenage brothers had had enough.
00:13:43One night, after returning home from hours of drinking at the local pub, the patriarch passed
00:13:47out on the floor of his bedroom.
00:13:49The two siblings forced rat poison down the mouth of their unconscious father, ensuring he would
00:13:56never wake up again.
00:13:57Their hate for him so strong that they simply threw a sheet over his body and closed the door.
00:14:03Not even the putrid scent of his rotting corpse could compel them to ever touch him again.
00:14:08The dull noises that would sometimes come from his room, they attributed to maggots slowly
00:14:13devouring the body.
00:14:14This idea, never confirmed by either, gave them endless pleasure.
00:14:21The reason why it would literally be like a baby was so système.
00:14:24Can I ask him as a baby, they'd feel alright?
00:14:26To be honest, I had to make sure he'll be pregnant.
00:14:30I had to make a baby put out of my head on the back side of his bedroom.
00:14:31The story of his bedroom was for two minutes at his bedroom and the bedroom was for him,
00:14:36home, and the bedroom was a friend.
00:14:37He would be very young and pretty.
00:14:39I hear you got a leaky faucet.
00:15:09Sounds like a tsunami hit the living room.
00:15:13Just an old horror record Dad and I used to listen to.
00:15:16I found several stashed under Aunt Evie's bed.
00:15:19She absolutely hated them.
00:15:22It's a little strange she would have kept them for so long.
00:15:27I find them comforting.
00:15:31Well, I know one person for sure who didn't find them comforting the other day.
00:15:36I didn't mean to upset Aunt Ruth. I don't know what I was thinking.
00:15:41Don't worry about it.
00:15:43Well, I can't fix whatever storm's brewing in there, but I did fix the bathroom, the leak.
00:15:50You needed a seat washer.
00:15:52Oh, a seat washer.
00:15:54A seat washer. And lucky for you, I had one in my toolbox.
00:15:58Thank you for doing that. I know you're not feeling well.
00:16:01No, I'm okay.
00:16:03They've got me on some pretty good pain meds.
00:16:05You could probably use some yourself.
00:16:07Oh, my foot's okay. It's feeling better.
00:16:12Have some food.
00:16:15Do you have any of that cake left that Miss Mustin brought?
00:16:18I do.
00:16:43Do you have any surgery again?
00:16:44A couple days.
00:16:47You know, I'm going to be out of commission for several weeks,
00:16:50and there's not going to be anybody to run interference between you and your aunt.
00:16:53No. We'll play nice.
00:16:57Haggy, she's serious about selling the house.
00:17:01She's got a real estate agent.
00:17:13Franklin and Eleanor Perry had seen better days.
00:17:23A geriatric couple, both in their late seventies, had watched their only son grow up and move away,
00:17:29rarely to be heard from save the odd holiday.
00:17:32Retired, the couple holed up in their deteriorating home,
00:17:36watching the neighborhood shrink and fade around them.
00:17:39Lately, Eleanor had begun to sleepwalk, carry on lengthy conversations with herself in the dead of night.
00:17:46Often, Franklin would find her in their son's old bedroom, kept exactly how he left it before college,
00:17:53talking to him as if he were there.
00:17:56One rainy night, well after midnight, Franklin was awakened in his bed by a distant voice.
00:18:02He turned to find his wife missing.
00:18:05This was not unusual.
00:18:07In fact, it was happening ever more frequently lately.
00:18:10But Franklin was concerned his wife might accidentally hurt herself in her somnambulant state.
00:18:15So he got up to find her and guide her back to bed.
00:18:19Thunder roared outside as he walked down the dark hallway.
00:18:23Fearful turning on the light would frighten Eleanor.
00:18:26His path was lighted occasionally by a flash of lightning.
00:18:30He quietly walked towards the door at the inn, the door to his son's room.
00:18:35Faintly, he could hear his wife speaking in a relaxed, even joyful tone.
00:18:40You really should get out of those wet clothes.
00:18:43You'll catch a death.
00:18:45It's too late for you to be running around.
00:18:48You've got school tomorrow.
00:18:50But then, Franklin heard something that froze his blood.
00:18:54The muffled voice of a young man.
00:18:57Yeah.
00:18:58I forgot about school.
00:19:02Frantic, Franklin ran to the hall closet and grabbed her baseball bat.
00:19:07He quickly walked back to the bedroom door where his wife was still speaking happily.
00:19:11He slowly opened the door and saw his wife in the dim bedroom lights,
00:19:16looking at a tall, lean figure in a hooded jacket.
00:19:20What the hell?
00:19:22NO!
00:19:25Whatcha after?
00:19:26That f***ing bat.
00:19:27Beat his goddamn head in.
00:19:29Who are you?
00:19:42Who are you?
00:19:51Dizzy from their violent rampage and eyes blurry from the blood spattering their faces,
00:19:56the two young men hastily stuffed as much as they could into a couple of pillowcases.
00:20:00A jewelry box.
00:20:01An old clock.
00:20:02A book of coins.
00:20:03And a bloody token that the two would soon regret.
00:20:07What the hell are?
00:20:19Like, they think they're hacking their type and everything like, what's the only way?
00:20:24I'm not exactly sure we've got detectives who are going to figure it out and we'll be able to put out a statement.
00:20:39Right, right, and I'm sure that the investigators are going to do their job, but we've just got to keep everybody out right now.
00:20:47And we'll be able to give you a statement here in a little while, but right now it's an ongoing investigation, so we can't really talk much about it.
00:20:55Right, and that concerns me that we have situations like this, so I'm here to make sure...
00:21:15After beating the old woman's head in with a hammer, one of her eyes flew out of its socket.
00:21:20Still attached by a stringy muscle, the youngest of the two ripped it out of her head and threw it in a pillowcase.
00:21:27They leapt the same way they came in, through the shattered bedroom window.
00:21:31Hastily, they sprinted quickly down the dark, rainy alley.
00:21:36They stopped at some trash cans several houses down, disposing of the bloody hammer they had used to murder the old couple.
00:21:44The thunder, growing ever louder, seemingly calling them out for their vicious crime.
00:22:14They don't take a long time to go a long time, and they don't even talk to me.
00:22:18They'll be moved here after giving me a little bit of a short time.
00:22:21They're going to buy me a little bit of a short time on the two-spot of the vicious crime.
00:22:26It's all about a long time on the other side of the house
00:22:31because they don't have to be made of the mess.
00:22:34They're going to get to be a little bit.
00:22:36They're going to get to make some kind of the mess.
00:22:38They're going to make some kind of mess I'm taking a while on the other side of my head and to help.
00:22:42Let's go.
00:23:12Let's go.
00:23:42Let's go.
00:24:12Here she is.
00:24:29Agatha, you remember Detective Ross?
00:24:31He was here the night of the incident.
00:24:33I do.
00:24:34How are you, Detective?
00:24:36Ms. Black, I'm doing well.
00:24:37Sorry to barge in on you like this, but you're a hard person to get a hold of.
00:24:41I finally got in contact with your aunt.
00:24:43Who still uses a rotary phone?
00:24:46One with no answering machine.
00:24:48This is an old conversation.
00:24:50One certainly worth having, especially after the incident last night.
00:24:55Are you aware of what happened to your neighbors down the street?
00:24:58The Hewitts?
00:24:59Um, yeah, I don't know the whole story, but...
00:25:03They were killed, Agatha.
00:25:05They were murdered last night in their own home.
00:25:08Someone broke through a back window, and we think it was a robbery that was interrupted.
00:25:12Detective Ross says that the bodies were butchered beyond recognition.
00:25:18Agatha, we think what happened to you and your aunt might be related.
00:25:23Did you hear anything peculiar last night?
00:25:26It's around midnight?
00:25:27No, I was asleep by midnight.
00:25:32I had to work today, but I did see the crowd gathered this morning.
00:25:38Did you know the Hewitts very well?
00:25:40Not really.
00:25:42Aunt Evie knew them years ago, but they didn't really go out much within the last few years.
00:25:48Yeah.
00:25:49Mrs. Hewitt's rehab nurse found them this morning.
00:25:52Otherwise, no one would have discovered their bodies for days.
00:25:55Why don't I make us some tea?
00:26:06I'm very concerned that someone in the neighborhood is responsible for these break-ins.
00:26:11Lots of drug activity going on over the last couple of years.
00:26:14I tried to get Evie to sell this house years ago.
00:26:18She flat out refused.
00:26:20Have you been able to remember anything else about the other night?
00:26:25I just remember being awakened by Aunt Evie's screams.
00:26:34She was screaming.
00:26:37And then I heard her yell out my name.
00:26:42I grabbed the knife that I keep under my bed.
00:26:45And why would you keep a knife under your bed?
00:26:48For protection.
00:26:50Aunt Evie insisted on it.
00:26:52She had one too.
00:26:53She was always afraid of someone breaking in.
00:26:58She was afraid of a lot of things.
00:27:01That she was.
00:27:02I ran out into the hallway.
00:27:08Aunt Evie's light was on in her room.
00:27:11It was blinding.
00:27:14I mean, maybe there was a figure.
00:27:17A figure moving in the light.
00:27:21I don't remember.
00:27:22Side two.
00:27:27The patients had taken over the Brandeis Asylum.
00:27:30They had murdered the entire night staff with their bare hands,
00:27:34leaving the sterile white hallway spattered with blood.
00:27:39Dr. Raglan and Nurse Thomas,
00:27:41the only two staff members left alive,
00:27:44had locked themselves in the basement,
00:27:46hoping their hiding place would go unnoticed,
00:27:49hoping the frenzied psychotic mass were dispersed.
00:27:52The screaming stopped.
00:27:55That was Carol.
00:27:56I know that was Carol.
00:27:58What did they do to her?
00:28:01Keep it down, Nurse Thomas.
00:28:03They'll hear you.
00:28:04Some of them.
00:28:07Some of them were eating flesh.
00:28:10Must have been those new drugs Dr. Price began to administer yesterday.
00:28:14It's only a matter of time before they find us.
00:28:18When they do, they're going to pull us apart.
00:28:21Dr. Raglan tried to place his hand over the frightened woman's mouth,
00:28:25but she moved away, knocking over a shelf of supplies.
00:28:31The blood-crazed patients heard the loud crash
00:28:35and began to make their way towards the basin.
00:28:38I just knows where the keys are.
00:28:41Oh, I can hear the keys throughout it.
00:28:47I can smell the blood.
00:28:50Help me push the shelf against the door.
00:28:52It's our only way to thin them off.
00:28:54It's too late.
00:28:55I can hear the keys.
00:28:57I can smell the death.
00:28:59Death!
00:28:59Death!
00:29:00Death!
00:29:03Death!
00:29:19Hello?
00:29:23Uh, uh, no.
00:29:27Yeah, I'll have to call you back.
00:29:30Okay.
00:29:41Um, I'm really exhausted.
00:29:45Um, I'm really exhausted.
00:30:15Go ahead and play by yourself.
00:30:17I'm going to hang out with my friends.
00:30:19But Mom said that you had to keep an eye on me.
00:30:22Just go on, or I might just make you walk home alone.
00:30:27Tommy and his best friends, Bud and Ron,
00:30:30walked over to the wooded area of the park,
00:30:33throwing rocks at trees and sword fighting with sticks.
00:30:36Just as Bud was about to stab Ron with a long, leafy branch,
00:30:41Tommy stumbled upon a dead redbird.
00:30:44Hey, guys, check this out.
00:30:47Oh, cool, a dead bird.
00:30:50The bird had been mauled by some animal.
00:30:54A wing had been torn off,
00:30:55and one of its eyes was detached from its head.
00:30:58Tommy poked the eye with a stick.
00:31:01Then he turned to his friends.
00:31:04Hey, which one of you is getting poked with bird eye juice?
00:31:07Ha, ha, ha.
00:31:09Tommy spent some time chasing the boys around with the stick,
00:31:12but the allure of the dead bird was too difficult to resist.
00:31:18Before they left, Tommy went back and grabbed the bird's eye.
00:31:23That night, Tommy was sent to bed early
00:31:26as punishment for abandoning his sister at the park.
00:31:30But he didn't mind.
00:31:31He had the bird's eye to keep him occupied.
00:31:34He was fascinated by the small black orb,
00:31:38staring at it in his hand until he fell asleep.
00:31:42That night, he was awakened by a soft, fluttering noise.
00:31:47In the darkness of his room, at the foot of his bed,
00:31:50he could barely make out the silhouette of a small bird.
00:31:55His eyes grew wide at the shadowy figure,
00:31:59but he dare not turn on the light.
00:32:02It can't be!
00:32:04You aren't real!
00:32:06The silhouette moved slowly closer to him on the bed,
00:32:10gently ruffling its feathers again.
00:32:12Then, in the silence,
00:32:15Tommy heard an odd, quiet voice.
00:32:19It was coming from the bird.
00:32:21Tommy, you've been a bad boy.
00:32:27Frozen in fear, Tommy was unable to move.
00:32:30The bird crept closer.
00:32:33You took my eye.
00:32:36Do you know what happens to little children
00:32:38who take things that don't belong to them?
00:32:42Do you know, Tommy?
00:32:45Tommy quickly opened his sticky hand and held it out,
00:32:48offering the stolen eye to the bird.
00:32:50Take it!
00:32:52Oh, dear.
00:32:54That's not why I've come to you.
00:32:57I am dead, you see.
00:32:59And I no longer need my eyes.
00:33:02I asked you a question, Tommy.
00:33:05Do you know the answer?
00:33:08Or shall I just show you?
00:33:12Shall I show you?
00:33:14Good boy, good boy, good boy, good boy.
00:33:19My God.
00:33:40The laboratory of a madman.
00:33:44I'm sorry.
00:33:46I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scream, but did you forget about lunch?
00:33:51I've been waiting out in the parking lot for, like, 15 minutes.
00:33:54Yeah, I completely forgot.
00:33:55What the hell was that?
00:33:56Just an old, old record I digitized.
00:34:0180s hairband.
00:34:02I'm starving.
00:34:03Let's go.
00:34:04So, I don't think I'm going to go to the spin class tonight, so...
00:34:07I don't think I'm going to go to the spin class tonight, so...
00:34:09I'm sorry.
00:34:10I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scream, but...
00:34:11Did you forget about lunch?
00:34:12I've been waiting out in the parking lot for, like, 15 minutes.
00:34:14What the hell?
00:34:15What the hell was that?
00:34:16What the hell was that?
00:34:17Just an old, old record I digitized.
00:34:1980s hairband.
00:34:21I'm starving.
00:34:23Let's go.
00:34:28So, I don't think I'm going to go to the spin class tonight, so...
00:34:33You don't have to worry about watching Cat.
00:34:35Oh, Nance, don't do that for me.
00:34:37I like watching Cat.
00:34:38I want to do it.
00:34:40Are you sure?
00:34:41You've got a lot going on.
00:34:43Yes, it would make me happy.
00:34:46Give me something to do.
00:34:47I want to do it.
00:34:48Okay.
00:34:51So, how are things at home?
00:34:54I mean, it must be a little bit lonely without Evie.
00:34:59She was a handful and everything, but...
00:35:04It's, uh, a little weird.
00:35:09You must be so conflicted.
00:35:11She wasn't the easiest to live with.
00:35:14No.
00:35:18She was lucky to have you.
00:35:21We were both lucky, I guess.
00:35:23Ruth wants to sell the house.
00:35:39Maybe that's not a bad thing.
00:35:42I don't want to sell it, Nance.
00:35:44It was Dad's house.
00:35:45It's my house.
00:35:46The neighborhood has changed, honey.
00:35:48You still don't even know what happened with Evie.
00:35:51Don't the police think she caught someone trying to break in?
00:35:54Oh, God.
00:35:55Did you hear about the old couple who were murdered?
00:35:58Like, yesterday.
00:36:00They lived in your neighborhood.
00:36:01The Hewitts.
00:36:03Yeah, they lived a few houses down.
00:36:05What the fuck?
00:36:07Come on, Agatha.
00:36:08Mad things happen all the time, Nance.
00:36:11All around us.
00:36:12There's scary stories in the paper every day.
00:36:15Yeah.
00:36:17Sure.
00:36:18Horror all around.
00:36:20But old people?
00:36:22Murdered.
00:36:24Within walking distance.
00:36:25It's unsettling, Nance.
00:36:28Aren't you afraid to live in that old house all alone?
00:36:34Aren't you frightened?
00:36:44Okay, video zombie.
00:36:46It's time to paint.
00:36:47Aww.
00:36:48Oh, I'll bring it back.
00:36:56Hello?
00:36:57Hello, Donald.
00:36:58Hey, Ed.
00:36:59Hang on just a second.
00:37:00Hey, Kat, I gotta take this.
00:37:01Go ahead and start without me.
00:37:02I'll be just a sec.
00:37:16You ready for your big day?
00:37:18As ready as I'll ever be.
00:37:25Okay, I got it.
00:37:29So you said room 310?
00:37:32Yes, ma'am.
00:37:33Home for the next several days.
00:37:40I remember that hospital well.
00:37:47They've added another wing with a 24-hour cafe.
00:37:50Images.
00:37:52What are the signs of Halloween?
00:37:55Aggie, I heard about what happened to that couple down the street.
00:37:59The Hewitts?
00:38:01Yeah, it's very disturbing.
00:38:03Hang on just a sec.
00:38:17What can we bring to a Halloween circle?
00:38:20No.
00:38:25Sorry about that.
00:38:27I want you to consider staying with us for a while.
00:38:30Uh...
00:38:32I know you're both worried about me, but I...
00:38:35I can't do that.
00:38:36Witch with a broom she can fly on.
00:38:38She'll cast a spell as she flies through the sky.
00:38:41Let's add a witch to our list of mischief.
00:38:45A witch on a broom.
00:38:47On a gloom.
00:38:48We need to be smart about this.
00:38:51If you're determined to stay there, we need to get you a gun.
00:38:55Uh, okay, Ed.
00:38:56We'll talk about this later.
00:38:57I gotta let you go.
00:38:58Okay.
00:39:04I'll bring a ghost to a moon and boo-hoo.
00:39:07My ghost is sad cause he's afraid of the dark.
00:39:10Let's add a ghost who's in need of cheering.
00:39:13Cat?
00:39:14We'll coax a smile with our holiday lark.
00:39:22Jan is next in our Halloween ring.
00:39:25Tell us, Sarah.
00:39:26What will you bring?
00:39:31I'll bring a cat who is mad at the moon.
00:39:35Fluffy with fur that is black as night.
00:39:37Oh, pity a kitty crossed with the moon.
00:39:41His hiss and yowl sure to give you a fright.
00:39:48Let's join hands in our Halloween circle.
00:39:51We'll conjure all that is spooky and fun.
00:39:54Let's join hands in our Halloween circle.
00:39:57A body dismembered and cooked by the sun.
00:40:24Cat?
00:40:37Hello?
00:41:05Hello?
00:41:06Hey.
00:41:08Can you talk?
00:41:10Yeah, it's fine.
00:41:11No company tonight.
00:41:13No?
00:41:14That sounds lonely.
00:41:16Would you like some company?
00:41:18Yeah.
00:41:19I think I would.
00:41:21I was thinking that I could pick you up and take you back to my place.
00:41:25We could order some dinner.
00:41:27Sounds good.
00:41:29Excellent.
00:41:30I'll be over in half an hour.
00:41:37Wilson.
00:41:38Well, thank you.
00:41:41I'll be right back.
00:41:44Thanks.
00:41:46Thanks a beautiful day.
00:41:47I'm gonna cry.
00:41:49If you're with me, my mind is moving out of me, my hand.
00:41:50I'm gonna have to be right back.
00:41:52If you're with me.
00:41:54I'm running ready.
00:41:55Anna had returned from her trip a day early.
00:42:20The long, dark drive back from the airport, giving her time to prepare for her husband's
00:42:26always unpredictable reaction.
00:42:30She had hoped that by arriving at such a late hour, he would already be passed out
00:42:34from drinking, sparing her from another angry tirade.
00:42:39The house was uncomfortably still as she walked up the dark stairs to the bedroom.
00:42:46The dark shape that lay next to her husband caught her by surprise.
00:42:51She had seen the figure before, but only in her dreams.
00:42:55Only on nights when the beatings were bad, the figure suddenly sat up and looked at her
00:43:01in the darkness.
00:43:04The urge to flee the house was strong, but the figure was aware and was too close to
00:43:09Anna for her to escape without confrontation.
00:43:12But maybe if she hid and stayed quiet as death, the dark figure would not find her.
00:43:20Maybe if she disappeared into the shadows, she could escape once the sunlight broke through
00:43:25the windows.
00:43:27The dark figure would be forced to find refuge in the thin black cracks within the walls.
00:43:33Anna ran into the kitchen and hid inside the pantry, holding the doorknob tight.
00:43:38Why would it follow her there?
00:43:41She could hear the slight creaking of the wood floor as the figure moved methodically into
00:43:46the kitchen.
00:43:48It was there.
00:43:50It was aware.
00:43:51And it could sense her fear.
00:43:55In the moment before the inevitable horror, Anna released the doorknob.
00:44:01She was frozen.
00:44:02Yet a voice within her began to whisper, a voice she had not heard in years, the voice
00:44:09of the old fear.
00:44:11Get away from me, dark figure.
00:44:15You can't have me.
00:44:17You watch me bleed and stare while the pool collects at my feet.
00:44:21You do nothing as I'm beaten down.
00:44:23You are nothing.
00:44:24You are nothing but a mute witness.
00:44:27I am not afraid of you.
00:44:30The voice of the old fear had returned.
00:44:33But now Anna was using it to defend herself from the figure.
00:44:37Was it too late?
00:44:39Or would she live to see the sunlight?
00:44:43All Anna Riddle knew for certain was that old fears rarely fade into the night.
00:44:50She was so smart.
00:44:51You don't have to see it.
00:44:52No, it's too late.
00:44:53Prince Love
00:44:55The dead body was a good idea.
00:44:55You know, she was a dead body and the body was still alive.
00:44:57And on her side.
00:44:58It was gone.
00:44:59She was able to lose the eye of the fire from the nurse.
00:45:00She was able to lose the light.
00:45:01Yes, she was able to lose the light.
00:45:02That's too late.
00:45:02She was up to the mirror.
00:45:03She was able to do to move the light.
00:45:04Well, she was able to pull the light.
00:45:06She was able to know the light here, and it was able to go.
00:45:10I can't believe…
00:45:11She was able to push the light down the light.
00:45:15I can't believe it.
00:50:24Hey, doll.
00:50:25What are you doing here?
00:50:26I came to wish you good luck to bring you the last of Mrs. Messon's cake.
00:50:32Well, that's very sweet of you.
00:50:34I'm sure you have much more important things to do than visit your old uncle in the house of pain and suffering.
00:50:40I couldn't let that cake go to waste.
00:50:44What time's the surgery?
00:50:46Late afternoon, I think.
00:50:48Around 3 p.m.
00:50:50I don't know.
00:50:51I don't know.
00:50:52I don't bother with that stuff.
00:50:53I'll let your aunt do all the scheduling.
00:50:57You okay, Aggie?
00:50:58It's...
00:50:59It's been a little weird since...
00:51:04You miss Evie?
00:51:05Okay.
00:51:06This must be really hard for you.
00:51:09You're not alone in this, you know.
00:51:16You know, I think it would really do you some good to get out of that old house.
00:51:22I don't see why I have to move.
00:51:26The house is paid for.
00:51:28It's my home.
00:51:29You and Aunt Ruth don't need the money.
00:51:31It's not about the money, sweetie.
00:51:34More than anything, we're concerned for your safety.
00:51:38I meant what I said last night.
00:51:40When I get out of here, I'm gonna loan you my gun.
00:51:43Say, did you ride your bike all the way into the city?
00:51:46No.
00:51:47No, I took a taxi.
00:51:50Why didn't you have Aunt Ruth bring you?
00:51:52I just decided to come this morning. It's fine.
00:51:55You need to get your license.
00:51:57You've got your aunt's old car.
00:51:59It still works great.
00:52:01Things would be so much easier if you could learn to drive.
00:52:04Yeah.
00:52:06Why don't you learn to drive?
00:52:10I...
00:52:16The voices that had called the young boy into the woods had spoken falsehoods.
00:52:21They had led him to the home of the old midwife and coaxed him into slaughtering her and the young maiden who aided her in the work.
00:52:28His quest to kill the witch and rid the town of pestilence was thwarted by the very voices that had driven him to act.
00:52:35But were they the same?
00:52:37Perhaps the witch had influences of her own.
00:52:39The demonic laughter had chased the confused boy out of the cottage and into the stormy black night.
00:52:46The warm blood covering his body quickly washed away by the cold rain.
00:52:50The voices that warned him.
00:52:52The voices that informed him.
00:52:54Were they all of the devil?
00:52:56Had it all been a ruse?
00:52:58Now he would return to the bishop and he would not be able to answer the questions.
00:53:03Though the guilt was so great he was compelled to kill himself.
00:53:07He knew he had to return.
00:53:09The bishop had to know he had failed so that another could be enlisted to vanquish the witch wherever she might be.
00:53:17Two days later the boy, nearly incoherent from his walk, entered the bishop's church.
00:53:24The boy walked up to the seated bishop, whose eyes were weary from witnessing the sickness and death.
00:53:30Do the voices still beckon?
00:53:32The bishop asked.
00:53:33No, Your Grace.
00:53:36Does the witch still walk?
00:53:38I am sad to say she does.
00:53:42Are you still frightened?
00:53:45Yes.
00:53:46Oh God, yes.
00:53:48I am still frightened.
00:53:50God help me, yes.
00:54:15I have been calling all morning.
00:54:20I thought you might want these.
00:54:22I must have been in quite a hurry to leave last night.
00:54:28Did Amy scare you away?
00:54:30You told me you and your wife were separated.
00:54:32We are in the process.
00:54:35Her visit last night was unexpected.
00:54:36Right.
00:54:37We still have a few things to sort out.
00:54:38I heard a different story.
00:54:39Okay, come on.
00:54:40You know, Duncan, I want you to leave.
00:54:41Well, let's talk this through.
00:54:42I said leave.
00:54:43Let's talk this through.
00:54:44Duncan?
00:54:45Duncan?
00:54:46The Uninvited.
00:54:47The vampire entered Victoria's family home with an insatiable thirst.
00:54:52But in his haste to feed upon a fragile woman once again, he neglected to wait for an invitation.
00:55:20Due to legend, a vampire must be invited inside a home before they can enter.
00:55:26If they come inside without consent, they can be very vulnerable.
00:55:31He attempted to earn Victoria's sympathy by blaming his behavior the previous evening on a genetic disorder.
00:55:39But the young woman knew what he was and fled the room.
00:55:43The vampire, weak but insatiable, walked further into the house, his gait sluggish as the ages-old curse made every step heavy and labored.
00:55:57Lumbering down the hallway, the vampire could smell the pungent odor of her blood.
00:56:04It led him towards a closed door at the end of the hallway.
00:56:08He sluggled.
00:56:10Opened the door.
00:56:11The young woman lunged at him.
00:56:13Victoria charged at the creature who was frozen at the sight of the Christian symbol.
00:56:18Then, with all her energy, she managed to pierce the vampire's chest with the stake barely missing his heart.
00:56:25The stunned creature bolted away from her, crashing through a window and glaring, hissing, angrily into the dark.
00:56:42Hey Nance, I got a favor to ask you.
00:56:54Okay, we're going to make a right at that parking lot right there.
00:57:12Not bad.
00:57:24Not good either, but not bad.
00:57:27Considering.
00:57:29Considering I didn't hit anyone or break anything.
00:57:34You did good, kid.
00:57:36I'm really proud of you.
00:57:37This is the perfect place to practice.
00:57:40You have no idea where we are, do you?
00:57:43It's a little familiar.
00:57:46This is where your dad's record store used to be.
00:57:53Oh, it's changed so much, but yeah, yeah, I see it now.
00:57:59Remember walking from school and getting Pop Rocks and a soda at the grocery store?
00:58:04Which used to be right there.
00:58:06Yeah.
00:58:07And then we just spent hours listening to music with dad until it was time to close the store.
00:58:13Your dad.
00:58:14Mr. Black was such a neat guy when he wasn't blitzed out of his mind.
00:58:18He had some bad days.
00:58:21It's cat.
00:58:23Boy, that was a dumbass idea to get her a cell phone.
00:58:27What's for dinner, Mom?
00:58:29Crackers and soda water.
00:58:32Hey, Nance, um, was Cat okay last night when she got home?
00:58:44She was fine, but Doug was a little upset when he heard about the Hewitts and he wasn't happy that I dropped her off at your house.
00:58:55What with all the murdering, you know?
00:58:58Understandable.
00:58:59Doug can just wait to get stoned after she goes to bed on Friday.
00:59:03I don't think I'm going to be there much longer anyway.
00:59:06Ruth is fixated on selling the place.
00:59:09It doesn't matter what I have to say about it.
00:59:11Ruth is a great A d***.
00:59:13Yeah, but A d***.
00:59:15All the keys.
00:59:18You know, I don't think your dad would want you living there all by yourself.
00:59:23Actually, I think he would.
00:59:53Gather round, kiddos, and I'll tell you a real doozy.
01:00:14This story is called, That Spooky Old House Down the Street.
01:00:19And it really happened to Meg Carson and her brothers, Jeff and Kip.
01:00:33One chilly fall day, while Meg was sewing a new dress for her high school formal,
01:00:39her brothers ran inside the house in a panic.
01:00:43Meg! Meg!
01:00:45What on earth are you yelling about?
01:00:48Meg, Patches is trapped inside that spooky old house down the street.
01:00:52Are you sure, Kip?
01:00:54Jeff and I both saw him in the second story window.
01:00:57Poor guy was meowing his head off.
01:01:00But no one can hear him.
01:01:02Gosh, how did he get in there?
01:01:05I sure don't know.
01:01:07But we can't just leave him.
01:01:09Well, if he got inside, he can find his way out.
01:01:13Meg, that place is haunted.
01:01:16Ghosts and creeps and other things live there.
01:01:19Everyone knows that.
01:01:22Silly boy, there's no such thing as ghosts.
01:01:25That's the old Davis place.
01:01:28That sweet old couple used to have a spook house every Halloween.
01:01:31You're too young to remember, but the neighborhood kids loved it.
01:01:35That's the only reason for the creepy reputation.
01:01:39Since Meg was left to watch her brothers while their parents were spending the day in the city,
01:01:45it was up to her to decide what to do.
01:01:48She ended up agreeing to rescuing their beloved cat on one condition.
01:01:55You two will have to do the dishes tonight so I can finish my dress.
01:02:00Gosh, sis, you drive a hard bargain.
01:02:03We'll do it.
01:02:04We can't leave Patches in there alone.
01:02:06Why, he might just die of fright.
01:02:08You two and your silly superstitions.
01:02:12Kip found an open window in the back of the house and crawled inside.
01:02:24Then he let his brother and sister in through the back door.
01:02:29Gosh, what a spooky place.
01:02:32How long did you say the house has been vacant?
01:02:35Mrs. Davis died about five years ago.
01:02:38Well, why is all the furniture still here?
01:02:41And what's with all the Halloween decorations?
01:02:45The three kids heard Patches crying upstairs.
01:02:49They walked up, up, up the creaky, spooky steps,
01:02:54and then came to a door with a sign next to it that read,
01:03:00Inside this room rests the body of old Norman.
01:03:06He was poisoned by his children and his body was left to rot.
01:03:11Some say his ghost still haunts this very room.
01:03:15Enter at your own risk.
01:03:18It does seem odd that all their furniture and spook house decorations would still be here.
01:03:25I guess Mrs. Davis must have died around Halloween.
01:03:29Well, I'm dying to know what's in that room.
01:03:33Chet, don't you dare open that door.
01:03:36We shouldn't be in here anyway.
01:03:38What does it matter?
01:03:40I'm doing the dishes tonight anyways.
01:03:42I might as well have a bit of fun while we're here.
01:03:44Jeff, open the door.
01:04:10Where a large bed framed with bed curtains filled the small room.
01:04:15He rushed over to the bed.
01:04:17The room was still accented with aging Halloween decorations.
01:04:22Fallen streamers stuck to walls next to paper witches and jack-o'-lanterns.
01:04:28Patches!
01:04:30Where are you, pal?
01:04:32Patches!
01:04:33Oh, Patches!
01:04:35I'm sure he's upstairs.
01:04:37That's where we saw him earlier.
01:04:39Yep.
01:04:40He's upstairs alright.
01:04:42Okay, fellas.
01:04:44Let's make it quick.
01:04:55It was the old vacant house at the end of the street.
01:04:58The house that no one dared to enter.
01:05:01When the neighborhood kids would approach it, they would whisper,
01:05:05Ghost house!
01:05:07Before running quickly past.
01:05:10Late at night, some folks would say,
01:05:13they could see a faint light in the attic window.
01:05:16Was it just the eerie glow of an antique mirror catching the light of a street lamp?
01:05:22Perhaps.
01:05:23Perhaps.
01:05:24But perhaps not.
01:05:26It's easy to reason away such simple occurrences.
01:05:31A dim light.
01:05:33A creak in the night.
01:05:35But when Arletty Lawson saw the distinct figure of an old woman staring out the front door one cold and windy full night,
01:05:44But nothing happened to me.
01:05:45So, reason was lost to the wind.
01:05:46Or not.
01:05:47No.
01:05:48No!
01:05:49No!
01:05:50No!
01:05:51No!
01:05:52No!
01:05:53No!
01:05:55No!
01:05:57No!
01:05:58No!
01:06:00No!
01:06:01No!
01:06:03No!
01:06:04No!
01:06:05No!
01:06:06No!
01:06:07No!
01:06:08No!
01:06:09No!
01:06:10No!
01:06:11No!
01:06:12No!
01:06:13but how could she be? How? She had plunged the knife deep into her body.
01:06:20But as Esther ran through the sleepy village, she knew intuitively that the cursed old criminal was still alive.
01:06:27It was true. Esther was a sinner, and she could see it.
01:06:34It's in my name, so I have final say in my life.
01:06:40It's in my name, so I have final say in what happens to it.
01:06:44It's our family home. What would Dad and Aunt Evie say?
01:06:48They would want what's best for you.
01:06:51What's best for me?
01:06:53That lovely old couple was murdered just down the street from you.
01:06:57Both bludgeoned with a hammer.
01:07:00And the police suspect that you were being robbed the night that Evie died.
01:07:03That doesn't bother you?
01:07:06I'm not afraid to live there.
01:07:09But you're not living there, Agatha. You're hiding there.
01:07:18It's not your fault, honey.
01:07:20You were raised by a woman who was terrified of the world.
01:07:24When your father died, I should have stepped up, but you and Evie were so close.
01:07:30You? Raise me? That's not in your nature. Evie got me by default. I was s***ing either way.
01:07:39You're just like your father. Lazy, ungrateful, and delusional.
01:07:46I've found a realtor, and we're proceeding with this next week. You should start looking for somewhere else to live.
01:08:01The gypsy bandits had returned to their caravan when inside the carriage of their matriarch. They were shocked to see her lying on the floor in a pool of blood.
01:08:16There was so much blood that the two men were certain she was dead. But she opened her eyes and grinned.
01:08:35It was. It was. It was the girl, Esther. Be mindful of her. She is the seer and can hear the voices.
01:08:52They tell her things she is not supposed to know. We must go and get her. We must stop her from removing the curse.
01:09:08The bandits set the bleeding human up, wiping the blood off her face.
01:09:13Remove the blade from my chest. Then quickly rack me up and wax parchment and put me on the horse.
01:09:21You will ride to the village and find her together. If we cut out her heart and devour toward a steel filled with blood, we will have the power to see just as she does.
01:09:51We will be able to heal and pull her onto her teeth with this and that she will be on the wall.
01:09:54Let that go.
01:09:57We will get it.
01:10:03The child was a child that they had wandered together.
01:10:07Maybe not.
01:10:09The child was a child for a child for a child.
01:10:11We will be able to have the child with the child.
01:10:15The child was a child that he was good.
01:13:19I'm not dead.
01:13:21Can you finish the tale, clever girl?
01:13:23Or are you afraid of what the needle might conjure?
01:13:27Instead of helping the old woman, she set up her record player next to the bed.
01:13:51She listened to the stories as she watched her head die slowly.
01:13:59There were some witches singing the bitter old woman into the blackness.
01:14:05She's like, I'm not gone.
01:14:07I'm not dead.
01:14:09I'm not dead.
01:14:11I'm not dead.
01:14:13I'm not dead.
01:14:15I'm not dead.
01:14:17The Dead Reckoning
01:14:40She had searched the old cemetery
01:14:43for a fresh grave throughout the night.
01:14:46Though the rain made visibility difficult
01:14:49and smoothed over loose soil
01:14:52she was desperate to find a vehicle for her revenge.
01:14:57Swinging lightly in the storm
01:15:00it was a young male
01:15:02dressed in tattered clothing.
01:15:05He appeared to have been recently hanged
01:15:08no doubt from the local clergy
01:15:10who wished to keep its sea ground
01:15:12she began saying the incantation.
01:15:15Demons of Anger
01:15:18I call upon you
01:15:21to crawl out from the darkness
01:15:24and commune with your sister in pain
01:15:29receive this vessel I offer unto you
01:15:34and help me rest
01:15:37and the witch caught a glimpse
01:15:39of a scarred face and misshapen body.
01:15:42He would make a fine slave
01:15:45and soon
01:15:46all the people who had wronged her
01:15:49would die
01:15:50horrible
01:15:52painful
01:15:53death.
01:15:54death.
01:15:54Agatha!
01:15:55Agatha!
01:15:56Agatha!
01:15:57Agatha!
01:15:58Yeah.
