that's it, let's go.

- No, now come on.

Let's be fair, we'll

all count to ten.

If Julie here hasn't gotten

out and gone in, then we'll go.

We'll take this chicken

home and that'll be it.

(Kitty imitating chicken)

No chance of ever

being a Sister.

Think of all the gossip

that'll go around school.

(Sisters moaning)

- Hey, that sounds fair to me.

Here.

- [Sisters] One, two, three,

four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine.

- Okay, you're gonna have

to stay until they open up

in the morning and you

won't be able to get out.

We'll be back in the

morning to make sure

you stayed in there

all night long.

You'll be surrounded by the

dead, nothing but dead bodies.

(ominous music)

- We're closed.

(all screaming)

You gotta leave right

now to the main gate.

Anybody still in here?

(door slamming)

(car revving)

- Let's go, come on.

(suspenseful music)

(tires screeching)

(suspenseful music)

(gate creaking)

(ominous music)

(suspenseful music)

- [Julie] I miss you,

I'm sorry that you died.

I wish you'd come back to

me and mommy, I love you.

(ominous music)

(glass shattering)

(ominous music)

(suspenseful music)

(Julie gasping)

(metal clinking)

(ominous music)

(basketball players yelling)

- [Tall Basketball

Player] Come on baby.

- I'm sorry.

- Come one, Breaker, we

on for tonight or not?

- I don't know, I

gotta make a call.

- Well make it, I'll

meet you in the showers.

Breaker, that's not an invite.

(boys laughing)

(locker room chattering)

- [Boy] Hey, we looked

good out there, huh?

- [Steve] Yeah.

(phone ringing)

(suspenseful music)

(door slamming)

(heavy footsteps)

(suspenseful music)

(door creaking)

(ominous music)

(stone crunching)

(suspenseful music)

(flashlight knocking)

(loud hissing)

- Oh God!

(Julie laughing)

(door creaking)

(lights whirring)

(ominous music)

(door slamming)

(water dripping)

(crickets chirping)

(doorbell ringing)

- [Steve] Julie?

Julie?

- It's been a long day,

time to hit the sack.

You coming upstairs?

- I'll be right up, I just

wanna finish this chapter.

- Okay.

(door slamming)

- [Man On Tape] This

tape is a summary

of my notes for

Samuel Dockstader

concerning the Karl

Raymar experiments,

which I must admit, I

found quite astounding

but ultimately frightening.

(ominous music)

(water dripping)

(water running)

During the telekinesis

experiments,

there were time's when Raymar's

mental force was

so great, you could

actually see a

discharge of energy.

Once, when we were trying

to make a photograph

of the energy

flash, it reflected

off a mirror in the lab

and broke some equipment.

It was that strong,

that powerful.

Raymar was able to create

the effect at will.

(ominous music)

(water dripping)

(loud groaning)

(girls laughing)

- Boy, are we gonna

scare this girl good.

- So what makes you so sure

the window latch is

still broken, huh?

- 'Cause, my brother was there

no more than three weeks

ago and they were pledging

those new fraternity

guys, they broke it.

- Yeah, so, what'd

they do in there?

- I don't know, my brother

never tells me nothing.

I think they made that

pledge stay in there,

then they snuck in later

through that broken window.

- So, did the dude stay

in there all night?

- Hell no, they scared

his ass out so fast.

- All right!

- Wait, what if we

get caught in there?

- Who's gonna catch us?

(rock music)

- I don't know.

What was that pill

you gave Julie?

- [Carol] Demerol.

She's gonna be so messed up,

she won't know what's going on.

Well, what's the big deal?

- Well, I don't like it.

- So?

- So, I just don't like it.

- Then you're not coming?

- I don't know.

- You know, I ought to pull

over right now and let you out.

- Yeah, why don't you?

- Kitty, open the door

and let this turkey out.

- So then what, you're really

gonna let me out here, huh?

- You named it, you claimed it.

Open the door!

- What Kitty, you're

going with her, huh?

- She sure as hell is,

she's a real Sister.

Come on, Kitty, shut the

door, we're out of here.

(rock music)

(car speeding off)

(motorcycle engine revving)

(suspenseful music)

(water dripping)

Geeze.

(suspenseful music)

Gimme the sack.

- Look out.

- Okay, let's get

up to that mother.

- [Kitty] What's that?

(Carol gasping)

(suspenseful music)

(man screaming)

(girls screaming)

- Okay okay, I'm going.

I'm going, I'm

moving, I'm up, okay.

Okay, okay.

- Do me a favor.

Don't stop to sight see anymore.

(Carol screaming)

(arcade music)

- Lucy, have you

seen Carol tonight?

- No.

(alarm wailing)

- Hello Mrs. Mason.

This is Steve, is Carol there?

Yeah, I know it's late, it--

She's at Leslie's?

All three of them?

Okay thank you, I'm

sorry to bother you.

Goodnight.

Lucy, do you know

a Leslie Winslow?

- Yeah.

- Do you have her number?

- Yeah.

- Could you give it to me?

- Sure, but it wouldn't

do you any good.

- Why?

- 'Cause she's not home.

- Well, how do you know?

- 'Cause she just left

here a few minutes ago.

Boy, is she mad at Carol.

- For what?

- Who knows?

Stopped by looking for Doug,

said Carol's a sicko and left.

- Do you know where she went?

- I guess she's walking home.

She lives about a mile

down Greenfield Avenue.

- Did she say

anything about Julie?

- Who?

- Never mind, thanks.

- Hey, I thought you

and Carol broke up.

- We did.

(motorcycle engine revving)

- Oh.

- [Man On Tape] Later

on, Raymar worked

with some small

laboratory animals.

By touching them,

he could actually

drain the life from them.

Then he would animate

them, that is,

not bring them back

to life, but move them

with his mind to startle

the other animals.

It was shocking to realize

what this man was capable of,

literally the power

of life and death.

He seemed obsessed

with trying to discover

the actual experience of dying.

- [Carol] I remember,

my brother said

they got in through the back.

(crickets chirping)

This looks like it.

Ready?

- [Kitty] I guess so.

- [Carol] all right.

Let's get her.

(loud thudding)

Now what?

- [Kitty] Nothing, I'm

just checking it out.

- [Carol] Would you come on?

(loud thudding)

- [Kitty] Aww!

- What?

- [Kitty] I think

I hurt my foot.

- Great.

- [Kitty] No, it's all right.

It's all right.

- Ooh, scary.

- You ain't never lied.

- Now, we gotta be really quiet.

I don't want her to find

us before we find her.

(suspenseful music)

- [Kitty] Hey, wait!

(suspenseful music)

(whirring)

What's that?

- [Carol] Come on.

Over here.

(stone crunching)

(door creaking)

Where the hell is she?

- Maybe she left.

I would have.

- Look!

(Kitty screaming)

Gee, you're emotional.

Julie.

(suspenseful music)

Come on.

It's her.

- How do you know it's her?

- Who else would be

breathing in here besides us?

Come on.

(stone crunching)

- What are we gonna do first?

- First, we gotta wake her up.

(glass shattering)

(Julie gasping)

- Julie!

Oh Julie!
