Dr. Zorba...

Dr. Zorba...

Zorba...

Zorba..

In death...

In death...

Do not move!

No matter what happens, do not move.

Ben, I found it! Come on.

See?

Good work, Buck. Good work.

Does anybody else know?

Of course not. Let's tell em'. Ow!

You're hurting!

Oh, I'm sorry, Buck.

We can't tell anyone yet.

But we're moving out tomorrow.

That's right. We've got to get ready...

... so when they're all set to go...

bam! We give them money.

Then we won't have to move.

Right. Now, we got alot to do tomorrow.

I think you better turn in, Buck.

You know. Get all the rest you can.

I'm not sleepy.

Not sleepy?

I'm gonna be waking

you so early in the morning...

... the sun won't even be up.

We've got work to do.

And then we'll em'?

Tomorrow. So, sleep now.

I'm gonna hit the sack myself.

Okay. Good night.

You can wake me anytime.

I won't mind.

Good night, Buck.

Go right to sleep.

Cy! Help him!

No! You mustn't! Stay where you are!

Thirteen, thirteen...

Dead tonight...

... One of you...

Are you alright?

Bring him back. Please.

We must know more.

It is of no use.

There is Interference.

The ghosts are restless, angry.

Tonight death walks again...

... in this evil house.

Suddenly I...I became cold.

And for an instant,

I seemed to black out.

And then...

... then I heard a strange voice come from me...

But I can't remember.

You... I mean the voice said...

"Death tonight"

and then the number 13.

And then he...

... he said it would be one of us.

- Where are you going?

Oh. Just to see if Buck's alright.

It's Ben! It's Ben!

The bed it's hurting him!

... 98, 99, hundred!

I never thought I'd get tired of this.

Daddy? Why did Ben

dress as Zorba's ghost...

...and appear at my window?

He was trying to frighten you.

He knew this money was hidden here.

After he murdered Zorba he tried to find it.

Then we moved in. He

wanted us out of here.

Where do you think our new

house ought to be?

New house?

What do we want with a new house?

Boo. Boo.

Buck!

Buck! Take that thing off.

Can I keep it?

Breakfast is ready.

Well, I'm starved.

Elaine. Do you think there are

still ghosts is this house?

No. The earthbound spirits

have been released.

Don't you want your breakfast?

I'm guarding the money.

Elaine?

Yes, Buck.

You really are a witch, aren't you?

Ask me no questions

and I'll tell you no lies.

And the ghosts? They haven't

really gone, have they?

They'll be back.

They'll be back.

Real soon, I hope.

Robb White

Robb White III (June 20, 1909 – November 24, 1990) was a writer of screenplays, television scripts, and adventure novels.
