City of the Living Dead Page #3

neurosis, that's all.

Like about 70% of the

female population

in this country.

So according to you I'm

not stark raving mad,

at a least not yet.

Don't be silly.

Of course not.

Sometimes you may

drink a little more

than you should,

but that's no reason to be

taken away

and put into a looney house.

No, I'd rather not right now

and you really shouldn't

either.

Alright.

You better see for yourself.

It's in the kitchen.

The kitchen?

Oh, christ

was I just imagining things?

It can't be...

it's her. Mrs. Holden.

This morning she was inside

a coffin at the funeral home

and now she's here in my

kitchen.

How?

How did she get here?

I don't know.

I heard a noise.

I came to look and

there she was on my floor.

I called you right after.

I thought I was loosing

my mind.

Okay.

Let's use our heads

and not panic.

Calm down.

We've gotta find out how

she got here, alright?

I couldn't give a damn

how she got here.

I just want her gone.

Let's get her out of here.

I can't take the sight of her.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

At this point, a good stiff

drink is the only medicine

what are you gonna do?

I don't believe in the

twilight zone

so I guess I'll call the

the sheriff on this matter.

And what do you tell him?

I'll tell him exactly what

you told me.

That you heard this noise.

That you came running

and that you saw her there,

and the rest is up to them.

What was that?

The door is closed

but we left it wide open.

Someone took her away.

Or maybe she just left.

Don't be ridiculous

bodies don't just

get up and walk away

by themselves.

She's still here

she's still in the house...

sandra...

sandra...

get a hold of yourself

I don't want to stay

here anymore

jerry get her out

calm down...

- please...

tell her to go...

she's in here you hear her.

Jerry, she's in here,

I can't take it anymore.

Sandra

sandra, calm down.

Don't let imagination

run away with you.

I don't know what the hell

is going on here either,

so were going to take it

step by step

and search every room in

the house, alright?

And we'll find the reason,

alright sandra?

And you're going to follow me.

Follow me now

come on, that's it.

Alright?

Alright.

I'll do whatever you say.

I don't think I'll manage to

sleep here tonight.

If you want to stay at my

studio or my house

you're always welcome.

Good god...

it's blood...

blood...

dunwich?

Yes. Yes. I know it.

Odd that you're looking

for dunwich.

Yes, as a matter of fact...

yes, that's the town

where father thomas...

terrible... terrible

you know that dunwich

was built on the ruins

of the original salem.

That village of witches

and heresy.

And evil...

yes, but can you tell us

how to get there?

It's not easy.

You'll have to go back

towards the highway

and as you approach it

there's a road going left

blocked by a landslide.

That will take you to dunwich.

Thanks a lot.

Just out of curiousity...

why are you folks going

down there?

We're just looking up a friend.

I see.

Thanks again.

Good lord, help us.

Bob...

hi ann.

What are you doing in

the back seat of my dad's car?

I didn't know where to sleep.

You won't tell anyone will you?

No, of course not.

Although you get some

awfully weird ideas.

Come on, smoke

only then you better split,

okay?

Ann...

it's him

go on...

get out of here

what are you doing?

Get in the house...

I can explain everything,

mr. Ross

shut up you bastard...

what were you trying to

do with my daughter?

Please, let me explain,

mr. Ross.

I was only looking for a

place to sleep.

I swear

pervert...

murderer...

I guess there's nobody in.

That's strange.

What do you plan on doing?

I have a feeling this is

where the answer is.

We've gotta find the undertaker

or someone from the

funeral parlor.

Maybe they have gone

to the cemetery.

You go.

I'll wait in your office.

I don't think I can take a

cemetery right now.

Fair enough.

"Dweller of the twilight

void..."

well?

Yes...

that's it

that's the very same tombstone

that I saw in my trance.

Great.

Welcome to

the city of the dead.

Now what do we do?

We must find the priest's

grave and uncover him.

There isn't much time left.

All saints day begins at

midnight.

Where do we start?

Okay...

it's gonna be one of these.

Good thing he didn't hang

himself in arlington.

Yes?

Excuse me.

I wonder if you could

give us some information.

Sure.

Well, we're looking for

a tombstone of...

of a priest who hanged himself.

Father thomas?

We don't know his name.

Well, why are you looking

for his burial site?

It's a long story.

One you might not want to

believe.

Try me.

I'm just about ready to

believe anything at this point.

That's the whole story.

My god in heaven...

the living dead.

And that's why you're here

in dunwich?

What do you wanna do?

What are you

hoping to accomplish?

The death of father thomas

gave birth to some...

some evil.

They're worms...

who's speaking?

Alright, john john

now listen to me

you take it easy.

Stay right there and

don't move.

I'll be right over.

What happened?

That was emily's little

brother, john

he just told me that emily

killed her parents...

emily died 2 days ago.

Jerry, jerry

I'm scared, jerry,

I'm scared...

it's all over.

Everything's going to

be all right.

You girls take care of him,

please?

Sure.

Come on

my car?

Yeah, okay

in you go.

Oh god.

Oh god all mighty

totally butchered.

Literally ripped to shreds.

You're sure it was emily?

Yeah, but she was all

different.

She looked like,

she was like...

like she was dead.

And she was eating

mommy and daddy

poor kid.

You poor darling.

Jerry...

jerry, listen.

We've got to go to the

funeral parlour

and then we've got

to look for that...

that grave of the priest

- alright.

Well?

Is the kid alright?

Scared to death.

John john...

it's all right.

It's going to be all right.

It's all over now

now listen, sandra

out of your sight

get a move on
