House on Haunted Hill Page #27

CHRISTOPHER LEE:

And not one sign of the party's

hosts, Steven and Evelyn Price.

The only person not surprised

by this was Watson Pritchett.

ON THE SCREEN BEHIND HIM

EXT. HOUSE - MORNING

A close-up of Pritchett seen, talking:

PRITCHETT:

They're part ot the House now.

That's the way it works.

BACK TO SCENE:

CHRISTOPHER LEE:

The truth will likely be never

known. Unless on some strange

whim, you decide to spend the

evening inside the House on

Haunted Hill.

(he smiles)

Good night.

And walks O.S. The TV CAMERA pans back to the projection

screen.

As the "Terrifying, But True" credits crawl, underneath them

we see the old silent black & white footage we've seen

before:

INT. CEREBRAL HYGIENE ROOM (B&W)

1931. The "Cerebral Hygiene Room." The rampaging Patients

huddling around an operating table. A blur of scalpels and

saws as they viciously vivisect Dr. Vannacutt and his Nurse,

crammed together on the same gurney.

THE IMAGE FREEZES

as the TV show credits end.

But before it fades out, we see that something has changed in

this footage:

The two Humans being vivisected on that gurney are different:

The Doctor in surgical scrubs has Steven Price's face.

His nurse is Evelyn.

Pritchett's Voice heard as the image starts to fade:

PRITCHETT (V.O.)

It won't stop until it's got

every one --

THE END:
