I am there.
Yes, I am there
I see...
I see
there's the contact.
He's just entered.
The contact has entered
the contact...
the dead...
I see the dead
the city of the dead
hold the link, don't break it
hold the link
it's critical for mary.
Don't break the link,
don't break it
mary
mary...
the soul that pines
for eternity...
shall outspan death.
You dweller of the twilight
void come dunwich.
I'm afraid mary's dead.
No...
alright,
maybe I've got no imagination,
but your story is
a little tough to swallow.
James mclewin,
busted twice for peddling
and possession.
That's right. So?
And you expect me
to believe that
mary woodhouse died
out of sheer fright
while you were having a seance?
Ok fellas.
You help us
and we'll help you.
What were you on?
Coke? Grass?
Where's the stash?
Down the toilet?
- You don't deserve any help
you're a comic book version,
sergeant.
You look better in
your mugshot, you know.
The great theresa.
The master medium.
Yeah,
for you it's all in the book
your book of...
what's it again?
Enoch.
Yeah, enoch.
According to you this
poor girl is dead
because of a book that
was written 4000 years ago.
Correct?
That's right.
I'd find such
an unusual paradox
of tremendous appeal
terribly stimulating
if I were a sleuth.
The explanation in every
detail of a crime
before it's been committed.
Lady,
you're pulling my leg.
No...
the problem is in your mind.
It can't accept the truth,
but I'll help you just same.
In the book of
enoch the killer is...
sergeant...
come here and look
who's playing games here?
Come out of the floor,
out of nowhere.
Who lives downstairs?
It's vacant,
has been for 26 years.
But how the heck did...?
Don't you start acting up too.
It's only a prank and I'll
find out
what's behind it even if
I have to tear the whole
building apart.
Keep refusing the truth.
At this very precise moment,
in some other distant town,
horrendously awful
things are happening.
Things that would shatter
your imagination.
Hi officer.
I'm looking for sergeant clay.
And who are you?
I'm peter.
You see, I'm with the...
- don't tell me
you're a newspaper
reporter, right?
I can smell you guys
a mile away.
You're right, I'm a journalist.
Look, there's a rumor down a
the station house
that someone kind
of died mysteriously
and I wanna talk to
the sergeant about it.
It's not going to be any
mystery
how the next guy dies
if I let any unauthorized
people in that house.
Look...
isn't there a way that
maybe you and I
could come to a sort of
gentleman's agreement?
You're talking into deaf
ear, pal.
Now take my advice and
beat it before
the sergeant comes out.
Ok, I'll take your advice.
It's like we're in the wrong
season suddenly.
Damn dusty
all these high winds,
pretty unusual.
By the way,
I hear cindy heran
never went home last night.
So?
It sure wouldn't be
the first time.
I remember once she was
sitting in...
you know something?
Ever since father thomas
hanged himself
dunwich ain't been the same.
Kind of scary
a few beers and you fellas
start seeing ghouls and
devils all over the place.
Well, you saw what
happened, didn't you?
Sure, but that doesn't
mean that
there isn't any explanation.
It could have been a truck
passing by
the vibration
anyway, I've lost my mirror.
You forget who our
ancestors were?
No.
I've forgot how many
beers you have drunk.
So let's have another.
House buys.
I've gotta go
but wait, what about...
- see you
me too wait up, mike.
I'll see you around
wait, guys... guys...
brand new building...
new construction.
I tell you,
more garbage like this...
I'm gonna loose
all of my customers.
The language is scary,
I admit it.
But the overall message
couldn't have been more
puritanical.
Then why did you choose
the topic of incest?
When I was 8 years old
I guess all girls that age
want to marry their fathers.
Anyway,
I got over it pretty quickly
he was a drunk.
One day he just picked up
and left my mother and me.
Did this leave any
particular emotional
feeling in you at the time?
Emptiness.
That and pity for my mother.
I began to hate all men
and I...
excuse me jerry.
Hi, sandra.
How are you?
Hello emily.
How come so early?
I mean I thought
we made it for eight.
That's the trouble.
I can't make it tonight.
I have to see bob.
Bob?
You're not upset are you?
No, I'm not upset.
Maybe a little worried perhaps.
You've been seeing
an awful lot of him,
haven't you, lately?
Poor bob.
He's a sick and ionely kid.
I don't see why people
hate him so.
His mother was what you call
a woman of easy virtue.
No husband. No morals.
Here in dunwich,
anybody like that
is also branded a witch.
Look sandra.
I don't believe those
idiots who tell me
that our ancestors were
salem witch burners alright?
Okay, okay
jerry, I'm sorry.
- Don't worry
I'll see you tomorrow.
Around 9?
Sure thing.
Bye.
So long sandra.
Bye bye and take it easy.
Jerry, bye.
- Bye
okay sandra,
where were we?
On the same old problem, men.
Why do they have to
make life so difficult?
Sandra
sandra...
did he hurt you?
Did he claw you?
He must have been frightened.
Strange.
It's the first time he
ever acted up like that.
He loves to have you pet him.
He always comes to
you when you're here.
Something must have
frightened him.
Give me the
dirtiest thoughts...
I'm telling you,
you're gonna end up
a dirty old man.
A pervert.
Peeping tom.
Talk about box lunches man
saw a porno flick once,
where this guy got so
carried away
he humped himself to death.
Too much of good thing
but what a way to go
what's the matter?
Never seen a body
in the earth before?
Any law against looking?
Yeah
okay, I'm leaving.
What time you got?
Let's flip to see who
goes in the hole
alright.
Call it.
Heads.
Tails.
In the hole, sucker.
Sh*t...
what are you still
doing here, pal?
Come on fellas.
What do you want from us?
- Nothing
I'm just curious about
this girl here, that's all.
Look, why don't you guys
go ahead with your work
and just pretend I'm not
around.
Well move, cause we're
almost finished.
It's 5 o'clock.
We've busted our
balls enough, let's go.
You're not going to leave
her like that, are you?
Union hours.
Anyway, what does she care?
She's not in any hurry.
Is she?
Oh, my god...
but for you,
mary would have suffered
a terrible death.
I was just lucky.
No
it was written.
Are you acquainted with
the book of enoch?
A text which dates back to
more than 4000 years ago.
It contains man's first
recorded description of
his boundless mortal fear
in the face of malice itself
the demanding implacable
enemy who's search for blood
is never satiated.
Mary, tell your experience.
Everything you've witnessed
during our last seance.
The city of the dead...
the living dead.
A cursed city
