Salem's Lot Page #7

I'll make sure they do.

Bless this cross...

...in the name of the Father...

...and the Son and the Holy Ghost.

"The Lord is my shepherd...

"...I shall not want.

"He maketh me...

"He maketh me to lie down

beside the still waters.

"He maketh me to lie down.

"He maketh me to lie down

in green pastures.

"He restoreth my soul.

"He leadeth me in the paths

of righteousness for His name's sake."

Bill!

"Yea, though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death...

"...I will fear no evil.

"I will fear no evil.

"Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me."

Danny.

Where are you, Danny darling?

Don't look at her eyes.

I called a friend of mine in San Francisco.

He's turned on to the occult.

He says that we have to get

to Barlow during the day...

...before sunset...

...in his coffin...

...and drive a stake through his heart.

How about Straker?

Straker's human. He's mortal.

He's the watchdog.

He's the thing's bodyguard.

He prepares the way.

How can he be killed?

Any way, any way at all. Gun, knife...

Any way at all.

Why did they come here?

How the hell do I know?

Because you're somewhat isolated,

you're somewhat inbred. Full-blooded.

Barlow must've wandered this planet

for centuries...

...looking for new places to victimize.

This is unbelievable.

I have seen it.

Still, Ben...

...it's unbelievable.

Good girl.

- Where's your mother?

- In your room.

- She's all right?

- She's fine.

What happened?

Marjorie Glick rose and joined the undead.

Undead?

She's a vampire, too.

Soon this whole town of Salem's Lot...

You'll have to leave town.

Mother and Dad?

Your father's going to stay

and help me destroy this creature.

Tomorrow, before sunset,

you take your mother...

...and anyone else that you can persuade

to go and you leave town.

Where's Gillespie?

Parkins called in sick.

This is the first day

he's been off the job ever.

Are you all right?

A little tired.

I didn't sleep much last night.

I was dreaming.

Funny.

Dreaming about Ned coming to see me.

It was a funny dream.

He may have gone into town.

You look pale. Are you all right?

Just tired.

I dreamed all night.

All night.

Sweet, sweet dreams.

Weasel.

Young.

Just like old times.

Kissing me on my neck.

Oh, Weasel!

Maybe you better go lie down.

Yes, I will.

What are you doing here?

I followed you in. Let's get out of here.

He killed my parents.

You can't do it. My father and Ben...

Listen.

Please.

You go.

Only if you go.

I can't.

We'll come back with my father and Ben.

They'll help us. We need help.

What's that?

He's here.

Come.

That'll hold you until tonight.

What will happen tonight?

Yes.

What have you done with Susan?

What did you do to her?

I've taken her to where she wished to go.

To meet the man she came here to meet.

Where are you going?

South Carolina. To visit relatives.

You can't do that.

He's up there, in the house.

Who?

Barlow.

He's a vampire. He's got to be destroyed.

What the hell is so funny?

- You're crazy. There's no such thing.

- Then what do you say is happening?

- I don't know. Craziness.

- You're scared!

I'm not staying.

- You're the constable.

- Was.

- Running?

- Running!

And you're staying?

You're staying.

All right, since you're staying, come here.

Come here, will you?

Here. Here.

Maybe this'll do you some good.

Coming!

This town's falling apart

and you're running?

Gillespie is leaving town.

Have you seen Susan?

They should be gone by now.

No. Anne's still waiting for her at home.

Father Callahan in there?

No one's there.

Blessed?

It is holy water.

Ben, Susan's in there!

They're in there.

Where?

I don't know.

You run. You run as fast as you can.

Keep running!

I told you to go.

Run!

No!

Help me!

Help me!

It's getting dark.

The cellar.

Wait.

Mark, wait.

Mark, wait!

I'm all right.

It's just the ankle.

Can you stand?

He's here.

I know he's here somewhere.

Here.

It's the root cellar.

We have to get him out of here.

Must weigh a ton.

We have to get him out of here.

Push!

The sun's gone down.

Don't look at him!

Mark, get out.

Susan?

Sorry, Susan. Forgive me.

The wind. It's blowing towards town.

The town will burn.

It will drive them out of their hiding places.

All of them?

No.

It will purify Salem's Lot.

And the others will be on the run.

And on the hunt.

For us?

For us.

They found us again.

Another one has found us.

We have to go further.

Not yet.

I found you.

I know.

I love you.

Yes.

You were so difficult to find.

I know.

But we're together now.

We'll always be together.

We'll always be young.

We'll love each other.

Forever.

That is his promise.

Forever?

Forever.

Kiss me.

Kiss me.

Kiss me.

There'll be others.

Do we go now?
