Return to House on Haunted Hill Page #4

Hey, I found something.

Okay, help me lift it.

- I don't think that's gonna happen.

- It has to. It's the only way out.

Damn it.

Destroy the statue.

Ariel, what is it? You okay?

We can't leave.

What?

- I know how to make it stop.

- What are you talking about?

The spirits here. They wanna be at peace,

but the evil won't let them.

You're talking about Vannacutt.

Vannacutt is just a servant.

Of Baphomet.

That's why my sister was trying to

help you find the statue.

The idol is the heart of this place.

You destroy it,

you break Baphomet's hold.

It's the only way to defeat the house.

What do we do now?

One of these furnaces

has a chamber that leads to the idol.

You're saying we have to crawl

into one of these things?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's the only way.

This is it.

This is the entrance.

You ready to do this?

Ready as I'll ever be.

Listen, um...

- lf we don't make it out of here, l...

- We'll make it.

If we don't make it,

I just want you to know that...

What?

That, uh...

That you make a lot of typos

for the editor of a magazine?

It's okay.

Like half your staff know by now.

All right, you two,

I'm getting all choked up over here.

Let's do this.

I think we're almost there.

Jesus. What the hell is this stuff?

It seems to be organic.

The heart of the house.

It's remarkable.

What are you doing?

Richard, what are you doing?

Richard, step aside.

Richard.

I have to destroy it. I said, move.

Hey, Richard. Hey.

Jesus, hey.

Hey.

Richard.

- Step aside.

- Uh-huh. Yeah.

Yeah.

It was calling me.

I could feel its power.

Damn it.

Sh*t, you didn't even scratch it.

If we can't destroy the statue,

then maybe there's another way.

Such as?

Well...

...as long as the Baphomet idol

is in the house...

...the souls are trapped here, right?

So, what happens if we remove it?

How do you plan on doing that?

In case you hadrt noticed,

we can't get out.

Yeah. We noticed.

The sewer tunnel.

The statue is small enough

to fit through the grate.

I don't know about this.

Well, do you have

any better suggestions?

I say it's won'th a shot.

All right.

I don't think we're alone anymore.

Let's go.

Going somewhere?

We don't have time for this.

Yeah, well, you better make time.

Is that it?

Well, Richard, I knew

you wouldn't leave without it.

All right, come on. Give it to me.

Come on.

Give it to me, now!

Come on.

Come on.

What?

No! No!

No! No!

No! No! No!

Run!

Oh, sh*t.

Paul!

Keep going. Get the idol out of here,

I'll be all right.

Go!

No!

What are you doing?

I've been looking for this statue

for 20 years.

It belongs to me.

Richard, if we don't do this,

we're all gonna die.

Richard, get off me!

You can fight it.

Fight it.

Fight it!

Ariel.

Ariel, I'm okay.

Ariel, wake up.

Ariel, the idol.

Oh, God. Oh, God.

No.

No. No!

- Paul.

- Ariel.

Come on.

Hey.

What is it? You okay?

Baphomet's evil has been trapped

in that house for over 50 years.

We set it free.

You're...

You're saying the house...

The house wanted us to succeed?

I don't know.

Let's go home.

What is it?

I don't know.

I think it might be won'th something.
