00:01:00Let's go.
00:01:30Yes, I know you'd like to join your brothers outside and howl at the moon, but you're serving a much better purpose.
00:01:47Yes, you're serving science through me.

00:02:23Let's go.
00:02:38Let's go.
00:02:39You quite comfortable, Pedro?
00:02:41Sure, doctor.
00:02:43You're not afraid?
00:02:45I ain't got no reason to be afraid.
00:02:47Yeah, that's right, Pedro.
00:02:48There's nothing to be afraid of.
00:02:49Nothing at all.
00:02:50Nothing at all.
00:03:00Where? Did that hurt?
00:03:02No. That was just like a piano stick, isn't it?
00:03:08How come I have to have these straps on, Doc?
00:03:13Well, you see, Pedro, I'm trying a new formula.
00:03:16I wouldn't want you to make a sudden move and fall off the couch.
00:03:19Now, don't worry. It'll only be for the profile.
00:03:29How do you feel now?
00:03:32I feel just like I always did.
00:03:35When you stick me with that thing, I'm kind of sleepy.
00:03:42I'm asleep now.
00:03:50That's right.
00:03:53Go to sleep.
00:03:54Go to sleep.
00:03:55Go to sleep.
00:03:56Go to sleep.
00:03:57Or go to sleep.
00:03:58Go to sleep.
00:04:00Go to sleep.
00:04:01Go to sleep now.
00:04:02THE END
00:04:32THE END
00:05:02THE END
00:05:09Gentlemen, I wish you were here to see the proof of Mike that the transfusion of blood between different species is possible.
00:05:15A few moments ago, Petro was a man. A harmless, good-natured man. Look at him now.
00:05:24He's no longer human. He's a wolf, snarling, ferocious, lusting for the kill. You're looking at a scientific miracle, gentlemen.
00:05:39You're a madman, Cameron. Your claim is ridiculous. That's exactly what you said in newspapers, isn't it, Professor Blaine?
00:05:46That I was a madman. Not fit to occupy a science chair at the university. Perhaps you'll change your mind one day soon.
00:05:53When Petro tears at your throat.
00:05:56You may laugh if you want to. But look.
00:05:59You may laugh if you want to. But look.
00:06:06Even now, he'd like to be at his work.
00:06:13My catalytic agent has brought about a complete transition from man to wolf.
00:06:20Your crazy experiments are a disgrace to science.
00:06:23Yes. Those are the very words you used in denouncing me to the family.
00:06:27You may laugh if you want to. But look.
00:06:29Even now, he'd like to be at his work.
00:06:34My catalytic agent has brought about a complete transition from man to wolf.
00:06:41Your crazy experiments are a disgrace to science.
00:06:45Yes. Those are the very words you used in denouncing me to the family.
00:06:49Professor Fitzgerald. Science. What do you know about science?
00:06:56You with your hidebound dogmas and shriveled mind that refuses to recognize progress.
00:07:02What has progress to do with your foolish tampering with nature?
00:07:06I'm glad you asked that question, Professor Hatfield.
00:07:10You also were one of those stupid fools who raised their voices against me.
00:07:15You're aware, of course, that this country is at war.
00:07:20That our armed forces are locked in combat with a savage horde who fight with fanatical fury.
00:07:25Well, that fanatical fury will avail them nothing when I place my new serum at the disposal of the war department.
00:07:32Just picture, gentlemen. An army of wolfmen. Fearless, raging. Every man a snarling animal.
00:07:41My serum will make it possible to unloose millions of such animal men.
00:07:45Men who are governed by one collective thought, the animal lust to kill without regard to personal safety.
00:07:51Such an army will be invincible, gentlemen. Such an army will sweep everything before it.
00:07:58Your scheme is too utterly fantastic, Dr. Cameron.
00:08:02You're fools, all of you. Poor blind fools. Especially you, Dr. Warwick.
00:08:06Assuming that what you say is true, how would you control these wolfmen?
00:08:11I've perfected an antidote that induces the return of immediate normalcy.
00:08:16And I suppose that it would be an easy matter to round up a million wild animals and administer an antidote.
00:08:24No, Cameron, you're mad. Stark, raving mad. And I, for one, am in favor of...
00:08:30Silence! I'm not interested in your imbecilic mouthings.
00:08:35You, all of you, demonstrated your lack of vision by demanding my resignation from the faculty.
00:08:41Well, you accomplished your purpose. You cast me out. You rubbed me of everything that I held most dear in life.
00:08:48Position, honor, respect. You branded me as a madman. Held me up to ridicule before the whole world.
00:08:57But now it's time for my revenge. Pedro will see to that.
00:09:02Now you shall pay for your folly. There's no escape for any of you.
00:09:06You shall die, one by one, at the hands of the scientific marvel that you scoffed at.
00:09:12You can't intimidate us with fantastic threats.
00:09:15You're a faker, Cameron, a mad faker. We'll have you ostracized by every scientist in the country.
00:09:21There are institutions for madmen, and we'll see that you're confined in one.
00:09:32You will see, gentlemen. You will see.
00:10:02There's a very missing mass of the psy...
00:10:03It's time to
00:10:24How long have I been asleep?
00:10:49Oh, about an hour, I should say.
00:10:51How do you feel?
00:10:53I got a terrible headache, and I had some kind of an awful dream.
00:10:59I was running all over the countryside chasing people and trying to kill them.
00:11:06What does a dream like that mean, Doctor?
00:11:10Oh, that doesn't mean anything. You just had a nightmare, that's all.
00:11:13But why should I be trying to kill people, even in my dreams?
00:11:18I ain't got nothing against nobody.
00:11:21Well, let's not talk about it anymore. Go to bed. Our work's done for the night.
00:11:27All right.
00:11:29Good evening, Miss Lenora.
00:11:33Good evening, Miss Lenora.
00:11:35Good evening, Petra.
00:11:37Well, night owl, I was just coming down to find out how much longer you're going to work.
00:11:41Do you realize how late it is?
00:11:43No, I didn't. I was having salt in my work.
00:11:45Oh, we did a lot of work tonight. And I slept almost an hour, and I had the awfulest sleep.
00:11:49Go to bed, Petra.
00:11:51Yes sir, Doctor. Good night.
00:11:53Evening, Miss Lenora.
00:11:59Good evening, Petra.
00:12:00Well, night owl, I was just coming down to find out how much longer you're going to work.
00:12:03Do you realize how late it is?
00:12:05No, I didn't. I was absolutely in my work.
00:12:07Oh, we did a lot of work tonight, and I slept almost an hour,
00:12:12and I had the awfulest dream I'd...
00:12:14Go to bed, Petra.
00:12:16Yes, sir, doctor.
00:12:18Good night, Miss Lenora.
00:12:19Good night, Petra.
00:12:20Dad, what kind of experiments are you doing that you need Petra?
00:12:27Oh, he just helps me in the laboratory, moving the heavy things around.
00:12:30He's a very strong man, is Petra.
00:12:32How much longer are we going to be here, Dad?
00:12:35Why?
00:12:36Because the place gets on my nerves. I hate it.
00:12:38You're hating it has nothing to do with being separated from that young reporter friend of yours, has it?
00:12:43It has, and I want to know when we're going back to the city.
00:12:46Very soon, now, dear. My work's practically finished.
00:12:50What was that?
00:12:53What?
00:12:54Well, that noise. It sounded like a wild animal howling.
00:12:57And I heard the same thing last night.
00:12:59Oh, that's probably some dog in the neighborhood.
00:13:02Dogs do howl, you know.
00:13:04You mustn't let things like that upset you.
00:13:08Now, come along, dear. Even the scientists need sound sleep.
00:13:12I shall sleep very sound there tonight.
00:13:14Good morning, Petra.
00:13:30Good morning, Miss Lenora.
00:13:32I was hoping you'd come to the garden this morning.
00:13:35I got something for you.
00:13:37Oh, they're lovely. Thank you.
00:13:41I'll pick some for you every day if you like them.
00:13:44Well, that's very kind of you.
00:13:48What's the matter, Miss Lenora?
00:13:50Petra, I don't like this place.
00:13:53No.
00:13:53I guess you feel about this place the same as I do.
00:13:57I'm afeard of it.
00:13:59Especially at night when the mist comes up out of the swamp.
00:14:02Of course, it's all right when the sun's shining like it is this morning.
00:14:06Are there any wild animals around here?
00:14:09Oh, yes, Miss. Lots of them.
00:14:11How come you ask?
00:14:13Oh, I was just curious.
00:14:15Say, Petra, what do you do when you work with Dad in the laboratory?
00:14:19Well, I don't rightly know.
00:14:24Besides, I ain't supposed to tell nothing.
00:14:27Your pop made me promise.
00:14:29Oh, you can trust me.
00:14:30I wouldn't tell anybody.
00:14:32Well, we...
00:14:36No mind saying nothing.
00:14:40Good morning, dear.
00:14:42Good morning, Dad.
00:14:42You sleep well?
00:14:43Yes, very well.
00:14:45Well, look at the flowers that Petra gathered for me.
00:14:47Very pretty.
00:14:48I'm afraid you'll have to give up your gardening for the time being, Petra.
00:14:51I want you in the laboratory.
00:14:53But, Doc, if I don't keep at this stuff,
00:14:55how am I ever going to make it look pretty?
00:14:58And I like pretty things.
00:14:59We shall leave this place long before you're able to beautify it.
00:15:03Gardening really isn't very important.
00:15:05Come along with me.
00:15:12Now, Petra, I see you're waiting for me.
00:15:14You scared me, Doc.
00:15:19Scared you?
00:15:20Why?
00:15:20You mustn't be so jumpy.
00:15:22You're as nervous as that wolf.
00:15:24He sure is nervous, all right.
00:15:26I've been sitting here for a long time watching him.
00:15:29And he ain't been still a minute.
00:15:31All right, lie down, Petra.
00:15:33Are you going to strap me down again tonight, Doc?
00:15:37Well, certainly.
00:15:37It's more necessary tonight than ever before.
00:15:40Gee, it must be great to be educated.
00:15:44I wish I had a lot of book learning
00:15:46so I could understand what this is all about.
00:15:49Fortunately, you don't need education or intelligence
00:15:53for your part of the experiment.
00:15:55Just strength.
00:15:57Animal strength.
00:15:59Now lie down, we'll get to work.
00:16:19All right, let's go.
00:16:49All right, let's go.
00:17:19All right, let's go.
00:17:49Let's go.

00:20:39Help.
00:20:40Help.
00:20:41Shut the bill off quick.
00:20:43I've never seen anything so awful in my life.
00:20:46What are you talking about?
00:20:47Something took after me down in the swamp.
00:20:49What was it?
00:20:50I don't know whether it was a man, a beast, or old Satan himself.
00:20:54Have you been drinking?
00:20:55Not a drop, so help me.
00:20:57I let him have both barrels of my shotgun, but that never even slowed him down.
00:21:01No, you can't kill him no ass.
00:21:04Except him with a silver bullet.
00:21:08I'm telling you, it was something awful.
00:21:31Oh, my God.
00:21:32You're with a silver bullet.
00:21:34I've been talking to Dr. Dr. The換ine Head.
00:21:36There's a silver bullet built in the swamp.
00:21:38A silver bullet.
00:21:39Oh, my God.
00:21:40No, no.
00:21:41You're not supposed to be.
00:21:42I've been in a sergeant.
00:21:43No, no, no.
00:21:44I'm not supposed to be.
00:21:45I'm not supposed to be.
00:21:46I'm not supposed to be.
00:21:47I'm not supposed to be.
00:21:48I'm on my side.
00:21:49I'm not supposed to be.
00:21:50I don't need to look at it, but I've ever thought it was supposed to be.
00:21:54I
00:22:24I don't have a couch
00:22:54I
00:23:24I've been walking in my sleep again
00:23:27Yes, you have you'd better go to bed
00:23:32I'm sorry if I made a nuisance of myself. I wish I wouldn't walk in my sleep like that
00:23:41Because I have such bad dream
00:23:44Don't be upset about your dreams Petra
00:23:47You've been a great assistance to me tonight very great assistance
00:23:51In fact, I'm going to reward you by taking you to the city with me
00:23:56You mean I can go along with you and ride in the car?
00:24:00Yes, if I will in the city, you'll make calls together
00:24:05First we will call upon a pompous gentleman called Blaine
00:24:10Professor Blaine
00:24:16Good morning, Petra
00:24:18Good morning, Miss Lenore
00:24:20Would you do me a favor?
00:24:21You know I'd do anything for you
00:24:24Well, I want you to mail this letter for me when you go into the village
00:24:26And there's already a stamp
00:24:27Yes, ma'am
00:24:28I'll take that letter
00:24:30Dad
00:24:31Give me that letter
00:24:37Sir, you couldn't wait till my work was finished
00:24:40You felt you had to write to your reporter
00:24:42Well, I just wanted to tell him that I was safe
00:24:44If you remember, you made me go away without even saying goodbye
00:24:47There was a reason for that, my dear, a very good reason
00:24:54See anything over?
00:24:55No, no
00:24:56Good night
00:24:57I don't know how much he's looking now
00:24:58It's daylight
00:24:59And he only falls at night
00:25:03Maybe he's seen something
00:25:04Yes, take the last
00:25:05Good morning
00:25:06Why all the armament?
00:25:07We're looking for a wild vomit
00:25:08What killed a little child
00:25:09Been looking all night
00:25:10You mean someone was killed by a wild animal?
00:25:11Yes, my little girl
00:25:12Oh, how terrible
00:25:13How did it happen?
00:25:14It come in through the window
00:25:15My wife said the window was closed
00:25:16But she must have been mistaken
00:25:17Didn't try to take the baby away or nothing
00:25:18It just seemed to kill just for the love of killing
00:25:20Did anyone see the animal?
00:25:21Did Hopper did?
00:25:23He said it walked on its hind legs like a man
00:25:24But that don't make sense
00:25:25I don't care what it makes sense
00:25:26I don't care what it makes sense
00:25:27No, no, no
00:25:28No, no
00:25:29No, no
00:25:30It didn't try to take the baby away or nothing.
00:25:33It just seemed to kill just for the love of killing.
00:25:37Did anyone see the animal?
00:25:39Jed Hopper did.
00:25:41He said it walked on its hind legs like a man, but that don't make sense.
00:25:46I don't care whether it makes sense or not.
00:25:48I know what I've seen.
00:25:49Come on, men, we've got work to do.
00:25:56What do you make of it, Dad?
00:25:58A predatory animal that opens windows.
00:26:02That would be very interesting to science, wouldn't it?
00:26:06Its dominant urge is to kill and destroy even when unprovoked.
00:26:11A human characteristic translated into animal instinct.
00:26:16Animals rather kill except for food or in self-defense.
00:26:20The eminent professor, Dr. Blaine, would be interested to study such an amazing animal, wouldn't he?
00:26:28Well, come on in, Tom.
00:26:39Glad to see you.
00:26:40Good evening, Dr. Blaine.
00:26:41I came in through the garden so as not to disturb your housekeeper.
00:26:44Sit down.
00:26:45Even if Martha has dozed off, which I think she has, her full alarm of fire wouldn't disturb her.
00:26:51I have a faint suspicion that there is something besides my housekeeper's welfare around your mind.
00:26:57What is it?
00:26:57Well, I'm after a story.
00:26:58Oh, quite a normal pursuit for a newspaper man.
00:27:00Tom, an AP dispatch from Ashton down in the swamp country tells about a child being killed by a wild animal.
00:27:07Well, that's a tragic thing.
00:27:08Yes, a neighboring farmer saw the brute and swears that it traveled at a terrific speed on its two hind legs.
00:27:14I understand they make a very potent corn liquor in that district.
00:27:18Oh, no, no.
00:27:18It's nothing like that.
00:27:19I have a hunch there's more to this story than just a jug full of corn liquor.
00:27:22I hope that you could give me an angle.
00:27:24I could work into a sunny feature.
00:27:25I don't know what you mean by a mangle.
00:27:27The possibility of the survival in the depths of the swamp are some of those overgrown lizards that used to be head men on earth.
00:27:34I understand they traveled around on their hind legs and made our present-day public enemies look like horticultural specimens.
00:27:40I'm sorry, Tom.
00:27:41I can't lend myself to that sort of sensationalism.
00:27:44True science, the search for knowledge, is on a far higher plane than that.
00:27:49It is worthy of being treated with dignity.
00:27:51And I feel that I owe an obligation to the people who respect my opinion.
00:27:56Your, uh, angle, as you call it, on prehistoric lizards is utterly fantastic.
00:28:02I'm sorry.
00:28:03I didn't know I was getting into such deep water.
00:28:06Well, I'll hang my head in shame and slink away...
00:28:08Now, no harm's done.
00:28:10Don't take it so to heart.
00:28:11Put your feet up on the desk and stay for a while.
00:28:13Well, I can't.
00:28:13Now, I've got to get back to the office.
00:28:15But I'll drop around again.
00:28:16Thanks very much for the information.
00:28:17I didn't give you very much.
00:28:18See you again, boy.
00:28:19Hey, man.
00:28:48Surprised to see me?
00:28:48Yes, I confess I am.
00:28:51Come in.
00:28:51Sit down.
00:28:54You shouldn't be surprised, Blaine.
00:28:56I told you that I'd come back when I could prove my theory to your complete satisfaction.
00:29:01You say you've proven that wild theory?
00:29:04Well, I'm here.
00:29:05You don't think I enjoyed your comments so much that I came back merely to hear you repeat them?
00:29:09Any comments I made were an expression of honest opinion.
00:29:13I will retract any statement proven to be untrue.
00:29:17Do you think that will cancel your obligation?
00:29:20Do you think a retraction will pay me for the humiliation of being held up to public ridicule?
00:29:25For having my scientific reputation blasted?
00:29:27For being forced to resign from an honorable position?
00:29:32Well, I deeply regret any possible injustice, but my rejection of your theory was not intended as a personal persecution.
00:29:41I'm sorry.
00:29:42I apologize, Dr. Blaine.
00:29:44I suppose we're all born at times to lose sight of the true perspective.
00:29:48Well, let's say no more about it.
00:29:50I'll gladly consider anything in support of your theory.
00:29:53I'm not asking you to take my word for anything.
00:29:55Just to believe the evidence of your own eyes.
00:29:58Pedro!
00:30:13Pedro, you sit here.
00:30:14This is my guinea pig.
00:30:33You're aware of the nature of this experience?
00:30:36We've been doing this a long time.
00:30:38You may rest assured the experiment is a proven success.
00:30:42Otherwise, I wouldn't be here.
00:30:43What good can come with tampering with the normal laws of nature?
00:30:49A great deal of good.
00:30:50An invincible army, for one thing.
00:30:53You'll understand when you see the results.
00:30:55I abhor whatever appears to be a perversion of science.
00:30:59Mingling the blood of man and beast is downright sacrilege.
00:31:02I have no sympathy with such maudlin sentimentality.
00:31:05I propounded a theory which you denounce publicly as being ridiculous.
00:31:10The result of what is all in mind.
00:31:15Are you trying to squirm out of facing the possibility that you may be wrong?
00:31:20Not at all.
00:31:21I will cooperate in any way possible.
00:31:24That's just what I wanted to hear.
00:31:25I've given him one injection to prepare his blood for the transfusion.
00:31:30He'll need another in exactly 20 minutes.
00:31:33Is this Magnolia 37136?
00:31:51I'd like to speak to Dr. Lorenzo Cameron, please.
00:31:55Just a moment, please.
00:31:57That's for you, Cameron.
00:31:59For me?
00:32:00Hello?
00:32:02Oh, is that you, dear?
00:32:03You asked me to call you and find out if you're returning tonight.
00:32:06It's all right.
00:32:07I'll be over as soon as I can.
00:32:09Goodbye.
00:32:10Goodbye.
00:32:10It's my daughter and some friends.
00:32:16I'll have to go and get her.
00:32:19It shouldn't be long.
00:32:20What about the second injection?
00:32:21You said it had to be given in 20 minutes.
00:32:24Oh, yes, the injection.
00:32:26I may be able to make it.
00:32:28If not, I want to doubt to whether you'd do it for me.
00:32:31Why, uh, yes, I guess, sir.
00:32:35That's very, very kind of you.
00:32:37Peter, you stay here and don't bother, Dr. Blaine.
00:32:38No, sir, I won't bother.
00:32:41Of course, it's quite possible, Dr., if I don't get back,
00:32:43that you could ensure the failure of this demonstration
00:32:46by forgetting the injection.
00:32:49I'll have to take that chance.
00:32:51Don't worry.
00:32:52Even if I lack the sense of honor,
00:32:54pride would hardly allow me to stoop to such a level.
00:32:58I shall give him the injection if you're not here by 12.
00:33:01At 12, precisely.
00:33:10I'll have to take that chance.
00:33:12I'll have to take that chance.
00:33:13I'll have to take that chance.
00:33:14I'll have to take that chance.
00:33:14I'll have to take that chance.
00:33:15I'll have to take that chance.
00:33:16I'll have to take that chance.
00:33:18I'll have to take that chance.
00:33:19I'll have to take that chance.
00:33:20I'll have to take that chance.
00:33:21I'll have to take that chance.
00:33:22I'll have to take that chance.
00:33:24I'll have to take that chance.
00:33:26Hello?
00:33:27Hello, Fitzgerald.
00:33:28Yeah, is that you, Blaine?
00:33:30What do you want to drag me out of bed this time of the night for?
00:33:33I've just had a surprising visitor, Lorenzo Cameron.
00:33:39He claims to have proven his crazy outlandish blood transfusion fairy
00:33:44and demands the right to give a demonstration.
00:33:48Yeah.
00:33:48no no no he's not here now he'll be back after a while why don't you come on over
00:33:57all right i'll get dressed and be over right away expect me in about 10 minutes
00:34:02are you at all familiar with the work that the camera was doing
00:34:13oh no sir i'm just handyman around the place nobody not even miss lenora knows what he does
00:34:22oh his daughter is still with him oh yes sir she's with him but i think she's lonesome
00:34:28she seems to be grieving about something oh that's an outrage cameron has no right to accept
00:34:34such a sacrifice from her i don't like being a busybody but she's such a fine girl and
00:34:41a certain young man is just the tonic she needs to make her happy where do they live
00:34:47well dr cameron rented the old danfield homestead house about four or five miles from ashton
00:34:55it was a fine place but ain't been nobody lived there for a long time and the weeds kept growing
00:35:03closer to the house till they about swallowed up everything
00:35:07oh hello fitzgerald oh dr cameron i heard you were back in town blaine just told me that you
00:35:26wanted to demonstrate the proof of your blood transfusion theory he exaggerated when he mentioned
00:35:31demonstration i told him i could prove my claim but i don't think professor blaine is in a
00:35:37cooperative frame of mind that's why i came to you what do you want me to do i'd like you to be
00:35:44present when i talk to him all right i'll take a walk over with you you know uh
00:35:51you know uh
00:36:05you
00:36:06you
00:36:08you
00:36:10you
00:36:12you
00:36:14you
00:36:16you
00:36:41you
00:36:43you
00:36:56i heartily disapprove of the nature of this experiment but my promised adapt to cameron leaves me no alternative
00:37:03sure
00:37:04roll up your sleeve
00:37:06How do you feel?
00:37:17Just like I always do.
00:37:36Well, here we are.
00:37:46Oh!
00:37:48Something wrong?
00:37:51I was just out of a heart trouble.
00:37:54I'm serious, but distressing at times.
00:37:58I'll be all right after I rest a minute.
00:38:06Maybe we'd better go in the house.
00:38:29Go, go, in, in, in just a moment.
00:38:35What's the matter, Gunk?
00:38:36Oh, a slight heart attack.
00:38:37Want me to call an ambulance?
00:38:39No, I don't want an ambulance.
00:38:40I'll be all right in a minute.
00:38:42Well, just trying to help.
00:39:06What's that?
00:39:12What's that?
00:39:13Sound like come from the house.
00:39:15Come on in here.
00:39:16There's something wrong.
00:39:19Come on in here.
00:39:20There's something wrong.
00:39:22Come on in here.
00:39:23Come on in here.
00:39:24There's something wrong.
00:39:25There's something wrong.
00:39:26I'll say there's something wrong.
00:39:27I'll say there's something wrong.
00:39:28Give me a police headquarters.
00:39:29They'll make it fast.
00:39:30Give me a police headquarters.
00:39:31They'll make it fast.
00:39:33Hello, Sarge.
00:39:34This is Dugan.
00:39:35I got a murder on my beef.
00:39:36Hello, Sarge.
00:39:37Hello, Sarge.
00:39:38This is Dugan.
00:39:38I got a murder on my beef.
00:39:39Right away.
00:39:40Right away.
00:39:41Come on in here.
00:39:42Come on in here.
00:39:43There's something wrong.
00:39:44Come on in here.
00:39:45There's something wrong.
00:39:46Come on in here.
00:39:47There's something wrong.
00:39:48Come on in here.
00:39:49There's something wrong.
00:39:50I'll say there's something wrong.
00:39:52Give me a police headquarters.
00:39:53They'll make it fast.
00:39:54Hello, Sarge.
00:39:55This is Dugan.
00:39:56I got a murder on my beef.
00:39:57Right away.
00:39:58That's the work of an animal,
00:40:01not of a human being.
00:40:02What do you know about this?
00:40:03How can I know anything?
00:40:04I was with you.
00:40:07Now, Officer, my heart's beginning to trouble me again.
00:40:11I can't be of any use here,
00:40:12I may as well leave.
00:40:13Sure, go ahead.
00:40:14of an animal not of a human being. What do you know about this? How could I know
00:40:20anything? I was with you. Officer, my heart's beginning to trouble me again. I can't be of
00:40:25any use here. I may as well leave. Sure, go ahead. I can't pretend to feel any great
00:40:30sorrow, but then my feelings are of no importance one way or the other. Good night.
00:40:35Good night. Howdy, Lieutenant. I've seen a lot of murders in my day, but never as messy
00:40:47as this one. This should make a gory enough story for your paper. This is more than just
00:40:59a story to me. He was my friend. There was a couple of college professors arguing outside
00:41:07and using a lot of big words. They followed me in here, and I heard one of them say that
00:41:12some kind of a dangerous animal done this killing. Well, how could a dangerous animal be roaming
00:41:17around the city? I don't know. It's got away from a zoo or a circus or something. I'll check
00:41:22on that angle.
00:41:29Ashton. Ashton. You talking to me? No, no. I was just trying to remember something. Ashton.
00:41:41I got it. An AP story came in from Ashton the other day about a child being killed by a weird
00:41:46animal from the swampland. What do you mean, weird animal? A farmer swore it wasn't human,
00:41:50but that it traveled on two legs like a man. Oh, he was crazy. A drunk. There ain't no such
00:41:55animal. Anyway, how could he get way up here? I wish I knew.
00:42:25Oh, Petro. You startled me. What's the matter? Why do you stare at me like that? I don't know,
00:42:50Miss Lenore. I feel funny. I smell something in the mist coming up out of the swamp. It's
00:42:56like a voice talking to me. Telling me to do something. Something terrible.
00:43:01Oh, but that isn't real. That's just your imagination. You mustn't pay any attention to
00:43:05what that voice seems to be saying.
00:43:07Petro!
00:43:12What are you doing here? Go to your room.
00:43:15You've no right in this part of the house. Get out. Immediately. Wake up. You're dreaming.
00:43:29I don't know what's come over me. I must have a touch of swamp fever.
00:43:35That's very likely. Now go to bed. I'll get something for you.
00:43:38Yes, sir. I'm sorry if I made a nuisance of myself.
00:43:43Dad, what happened to Petro? I'm terribly afraid.
00:43:53There's nothing to be afraid of, dear. He just had a touch of fever, that's all.
00:43:56That was more than fever. His eyes were the eyes of a wild beast. He was possessed by a demon.
00:44:01Now, dear, you know there's no such thing as being possessed by a demon. That's ignorant superstition.
00:44:06I don't care what you call it, Dad. But there's something here that's evil. It's real,
00:44:09and I can feel it. And I'm afraid. Dad, I can't stand it here any longer. Let's get away.
00:44:14I can't go now, dear. I must wait till my work's finished.
00:44:18Put yourself together, dear.
00:44:20Oh, I won't be silly anymore. Nothing must interfere with your work.
00:44:25You've been a very great comfort to me.
00:44:27I know what a terribly lonely life this must be for you.
00:44:30Well, we won't talk about it any more, Dad.
00:44:34I just want you to prove that you're the greatest scientist in the world.
00:44:37They'll soon have all the proof they want.
00:44:40I expect the eminent Professor Fitzgerald to pay me a call before long,
00:44:45and I shall be delighted to confound him with scientific facts
00:44:48that he declared were impossible.
00:44:53Now you go to bed, dear, huh?
00:44:55Have a good night's rest.
00:44:57Good night, dear.
00:44:57I'll look after Peter.
00:45:00Good night, sir.
00:45:27Good night, sir.
00:45:28Good night, sir.

00:49:03If anything happens to him, I'll never forgive you.
00:49:10He had no business to come here.
00:49:12I'm not responsible for his welfare.
00:49:33You're welcome.
00:49:39I'm back.
00:50:03Howdy, sorry to bother you this time of night, but I've lost my way.
00:50:32Howdy, come on in. Sit down. You're a fool to be traveling around by yourself at night
00:50:42like this when the mist comes up from the swampland. Oh, you mean the mysterious night
00:50:46prowler that's got everyone's imagination working overtime? That ain't imagination with
00:50:51me, mister. That thing killed my little girl. Sorry, I wouldn't have joked if I'd known.
00:50:58It scared Jed Harper so bad, he went and got religion. Well, say, can you give me some
00:51:03facts about this killer? What does it look like? No one can tell you that for sure, mister,
00:51:08because it never prowls only on nights like this when the mist is thick and nothing can
00:51:13be seen very plain. Jed Harper said it traveled on two legs, but you can't count on that because
00:51:19Jed was scared half out of his mind. Besides, the mist was extra thick that night. You better
00:51:26stay here the rest of the night, mister. I can't offer you a bed, but I'll make you as comfortable
00:51:31as I can. Well, thank you very much.
00:52:01I'll take you in a cage. You're of no further use to me. If you revert without my knowledge, I'll
00:52:06take you in a cage. You're of no further use to me. If you revert without my knowledge, I'll take you in a cage.
00:52:22I'll take you in a cage. You're of no further use to me. If you revert without my knowledge, you'll become dangerous. I hadn't thought of that possibility.
00:52:35On your couch, Pedro. Down!
00:52:52No. I couldn't disappoint Professor Fitzgerald.
00:53:22No.
00:53:29Get down, Pedro. Get down!
00:53:52Get down, Pedro.
00:53:55Did I walk in my sleep again?
00:53:59Yes.
00:54:03Doctor, ain't there some way you could cure me from doing that?
00:54:08I'm afraid not.
00:54:10It may be necessary to lock you up at night after this.
00:54:14Oh, it don't seem fair to lock a man up just like he was an animal.
00:54:22When the fuck was my life is not?
00:54:25Is it supposed to be a hell of a woman?
00:54:28Hey, now?
00:54:30You're going to tell me?
00:54:31That's a lie.
00:54:33I'm not going to tell you what the fuck is, I'm not going to say.
00:54:37Good luck.
00:54:38If you are here to lock you up, it's like you're going to tell me the bull, again.
00:54:41You're there.
00:54:42aren't a pretty sight to look at neither there must be some natural explanation for this thing
00:54:47you're talking about it's a werewolf you can't kill him no way except by a silver bullet i can't see
00:54:54myself giving that story to the city editor he told me right out of my ear that killer ain't human
00:55:01you'd know that from one look at the body i saw a victim of just such an attack i wonder if there
00:55:09could be a possibility of any connection between them i've been telling you all along it's a form
00:55:14of a human who sold his soul to the devil in the light of day he walked like any other man on the
00:55:21earth at night he takes on the form of a wolf then you never heard of any killings by strange animals
00:55:31around here until recently why does he keep asking me all them questions well all newspaper men are
00:55:38like that he doesn't mean anything by it well you go ahead he won't bother you anymore
00:55:43yes sir
00:55:44lenora you must give some thought to your own safety and peace of mind there's no normal reason for
00:55:58dr cameron to hide away in a place like this unless unless what oh nothing forget it don't avoid the
00:56:05question what were you going to say lenora i believe your father knows something about that
00:56:10creature responsible for the horrible killings in this vicinity and i think the same creature
00:56:14killed professor blaine well that's a terrible thing for you to say i didn't expect you to join
00:56:18the chorus against him oh i hope i'm wrong but i'll do everything i can to learn the truth no matter
00:56:23where it leaves good morning young man i'm very glad to see you i want to apologize for the way i
00:56:31talked to you last night oh well that's all right i i can understand how you must feel about the
00:56:36newspapers i didn't what do you call hang on to their punches pull their punches i know they gave you
00:56:42quite a ride but i didn't write any of that stuff oh i know i know that's why i i'm so sorry the way i
00:56:47received you if you're interested in scientific research i'd be glad sometime to show you what
00:56:53i've accomplished well thanks doc that's very nice now if you'll pardon me i'll leave lenora to
00:57:00entertain you okay that doesn't sound as if he has a secret to hide does it why no and i never before
00:57:09was so glad to be wrong
00:57:11oh professor fitzgerald how in the world did you find your way down here hello lenora your father wrote
00:57:37asking me to come is he here yes and he'll be very glad to see one of his old friends
00:57:41ah fitzgerald this is an unexpected honor i hardly dared hope that you'll accept my invitation
00:57:47well if you've made a worthwhile scientific discovery i want to be the first to congratulate you
00:57:51i should be delighted to give you that opportunity the things that you two have to talk over are way
00:57:55over my head so i'll leave you alone oh now don't run away i promise to limit myself to words of two
00:58:01syllables not to take all the fun out of the discussion i'll see you after a while
00:58:05please can we go into the lab you wish
00:58:08very secretive about your work i have to be to keep out intruders
00:58:24you seem to be excellently equipped
00:58:26now good tools are the first requisite of good work
00:58:29i've discovered that certain extremely volatile elements in the blood
00:58:43little more than particles of electrical energy
00:58:46are the source of all physical growth and mentality
00:58:49by exciting the various glands and brain cells
00:58:53i've learned how to extract and concentrate these elements from the blood of various animals
00:58:59i can control evolution
00:59:02i've discovered the source of life
00:59:05you're crazy
00:59:07that has a familiar ring
00:59:14you told the newspapers i was crazy once didn't you
00:59:17i didn't know that you invited me here to reopen an old controversy that was very disagreeable to all concerned
00:59:24i came with the hope that you'd abandon impossible theories and accomplish something worthy of consideration
00:59:30and i suppose you feel yourself fully competent to judge my accomplishments
00:59:35you and your hidebound associates
00:59:38hatfield what he can blame
00:59:40no not play
00:59:43he no longer is passing judgment on my sanity
00:59:47i believe you know something about blaine's death
00:59:54you were at his house
00:59:56and you talked to him on the telephone before i came to your house
01:00:01did he say then that he was in any danger of losing his life
01:00:05no
01:00:06nothing threatened him at that time
01:00:08and i was with you when he was killed
01:00:11you pride yourself on not indulging in fantastic theories
01:00:16what proof have you that i was in any way implicated in blaine's death
01:00:20i have no definite proof
01:00:23you accuse me of being crazy if what i claim to have accomplished with this apparatus
01:00:27that i can give you overwhelming proof of what i say
01:00:31i can inject into your veins a substance that will give you the strength of ten men
01:00:36or following the line of evolution how would you like a pair of donkey's ears
01:00:42that'd go well with your type of mentality
01:00:45i certainly will not be the subject for any of your experiments
01:00:50and i'm afraid it's useless for us to continue this discussion any further
01:00:54you're not leaving are you
01:00:55i see no reason for staying open that secret panel
01:00:58so you don't care to stay and be convinced that you were wrong
01:01:03i don't care to be ridiculed by a charlatan
01:01:07ah ridicule that isn't pleasant is it
01:01:11i know from experience
01:01:13i have nothing to do with that
01:01:14it wasn't my fault if the public treated your crazy theories
01:01:18with the ridicule he deserved
01:01:20would you do me a favor what is it
01:01:33i have to send my hired man into town
01:01:35would you mind taking him with you
01:01:37all right
01:01:38i can do that without any trouble
01:01:40oh thank you so much
01:01:42if you'll wait at the car
01:01:43i'll send him out to you in a few minutes
01:01:45i'll get in the car people
01:01:59don't keep professor fitzgerald waiting
01:02:01i should have known this trip would be a waste of time
01:02:04i still hope to give you proof that you can't ignore
01:02:10remember me to hatfield and wallick when you see them again
01:02:14why did professor fitzgerald leave so soon
01:02:30he wasn't impressed by the possibilities of my line of research
01:02:33oh don't be disappointed
01:02:35there's no credit to his intelligence
01:02:36you're a great scientist
01:02:38and someday you're going to startle the world
01:02:40you're right dear
01:02:41i'll startle the world
01:02:44i'll startle the world
01:02:44i'll startle the world
01:03:11i'll startle the world
01:03:31probably something you're going to die

01:07:32WE CAN DO HERE
01:07:32SO WE WILL KEEP
01:07:33HUNTING FOR
01:07:34THAT KILLER
01:07:35YOU DON'T NEED TO
01:07:36COME DOWN WITH US
01:07:36MA'AM
01:07:37WE CAN FIND OUR
01:07:38WAY OUT
01:07:39Good evening, sir.
01:07:41That devil got another victim.
01:07:43Yes, so I see.
01:07:50I was surprised to see Professor Fitzgerald in this neighborhood.
01:07:54He came to see me.
01:07:56How badly is he hurt?
01:07:58I don't know yet. We'll find out as soon as the doctor gets here.
01:08:01When he regains consciousness,
01:08:03we'll find out who or what has committed these horrible killings.
01:08:09Yes.
01:08:11It'll be very interesting to hear what he has to say.
01:08:39Since this awful thing happened to him,
01:08:41I can't feel any resentment over the way he treated you.
01:08:45Did you quarrel with him?
01:08:47Yes, we quarreled.
01:08:49So I suppose you're saying that I ran after him and bled him out of the car.
01:08:51Dad!
01:08:53Newspaper training seems to be the suspicious nature.
01:08:57I wish you wouldn't try to antagonize him.
01:08:59I wasn't trying to antagonize him.
01:09:01He didn't give me a chance to finish.
01:09:03I was just going to ask him if anyone was with Fitzgerald when he left here.
01:09:07Well, I can answer that.
01:09:18Petro was with him.
01:09:20Petro?
01:09:21Yes. He drove him into town.
01:09:22But surely you don't think that...
01:09:23I don't know what to think,
01:09:24I was just gonna ask him if anyone was with Fitzgerald when he left here well
01:09:27I can answer that people was with him Petro yes he drove him into town but
01:09:33surely you don't think that I don't know what to think but I will know as soon as
01:09:37Fitzgerald comes to I'm inclined to agree with dad about your imagination
01:09:41it's fantastic maybe so but didn't it strike you funny that we didn't find
01:09:45Pete roll around when we found Fitzgerald look darling please don't snap
01:09:49at me just for trying to add things up he's still unconscious he must regain
01:10:10consciousness even for only for a few minutes so much depends upon that must
01:10:16be the doctor well I'll go down with you
01:10:34oh doctor I'm glad you got here I'm glad to get inside there's a humdinger of a storm
01:10:39coming up where's the patient upset oh good evening doctor will you go right on up you
01:10:46stay down here there's nothing you can do I hate to leave you but I must
01:10:53question Fitzgerald as soon as he's able to talk
01:10:57I reckon it's a little late for me to help the man's dead dead yes that's too bad we were hoping
01:11:12he'd throw some light on a matter of great importance well I'll be getting back to town
01:11:17before this storm gets worse I'll send the coroner out
01:11:21you
01:11:27well
01:11:28you

01:11:44Oh, my God.
01:12:14Oh, my God.
01:12:44Oh, yes, there is.
01:12:46I want to ask you a lot of questions, mainly about Pedro, that servant of yours.
01:12:50I can't be bothered with any more of your questions.
01:12:52They're only prompted by your fantastic imagination.
01:12:55I must ask you to leave at once.
01:12:57Wait, you'll do some more talking, whether you like it or not.
01:13:00You're making yourself very unpleasant.
01:13:02I haven't even started yet to be unpleasant.
01:13:04If my hunch is correct, I'll prove you guilty of murder.
01:13:07And in the meantime, I'll get Lenora out of this madhouse.
01:13:09You will prove nothing if my daughter stays here with me.
01:13:12It says you'll be guilty of the rape.
01:13:18Amen.
01:13:20Come on.
01:13:21Come on.
01:13:22Come on.
