And upstairs|is where they slept.

Oh, and be careful where you|step. The foors are old.

"This is the spell book|of Winifred Sanderson.

It was given to her|by the devil himself.

The book is bound|in human skin...

and contains the recipes for her|most powerful and evil spells. "

I get the picture.

What's that?

Oh. It's the black fame candle.

Hmm. Black fame candle.

" Made from the fat of a hangman.

Legend says that on a full moon it|will raise the spirits of the dead...

when lit by a virgin|on Halloween night. "

Hmm.

So let's light the sucker|and meet the old broads.

- Will you do the honors?|- No, thanks.

Well-

- Stupid cat!|- Okay, Max, you've had your fun.

It's time to go.|Come on, Allison.

Oh, sweet revenge!

Do you see, sisters?|My curse worked perfectly!

That's because thou art perfect.

I knew I left this cauldron on.|Didn't I tell you? Oh, I knew it.

My lucky rat tail!|just where I left it!

But who lit|the black fame candle? Hmm.

Wake up. Wake up, sleepyhead.

Oh, I've missed you.|Did you miss me too?

Come on, now,|we've got work to do.

- Winnie.|- Yes?

I smell children.

Sic 'em!

Seven. Maybe eight.|And a half.

Ooh, let us play with her!

Come, little children

I'll take thee away

- In- - Come out, my dear.|We will not harm thee.

We love children!

I thought thou would|never come, sisters.

Greetings, little one.

- 'Twas I who brought you back.|- Imagine.

Such a pretty little...

child.

Look at her. And she's|so well fed, isn't she?

Plump. Plump!

Shis-ka-baby.
