like flying saucers.

The light was just right,

and the angle and the imagination.

[ Sighs ]

Boy, if that's what it is,

then this is just an ordinary night.

You and I are gonna go to sleep,

and tomorrow when we get up...

that sun's gonna shine,

just like yesterday.

Good old yesterday.

Steve, well, you believe

you did see it, don't you?

I don't know. l-l--

That's not true, Steve.

Well, maybe, maybe now

you don't want to believe it.

Maybe you'd like to tell

yourself it didn't happen.

But, Steve, you're not the kind

of person who can turn your back...

on something

you know is true.

I don't know.

Well, you actually did see

what happened to Dr. Hallen.

How do you know I did?

Because I know you.

Okay.

Now what do we do?

How do you get people to protect

themselves from something

they don't believe in?

Well, you keep trying

and hoping you can find...

some sort of proof

that'll convince them.

Okay.

I don't like it much,

but I guess the only way you can find

that is to go out and look for it.

I'll go get the car.

- You sure you want to go with me?

- Yes.

I wouldn't give much

for our chances...

wandering around in the middle

of the night trying to find something...

that if we found it,

it might kill us.

If we could only find

a couple of people to help us.

Hmm. Who?

Well, your friends,

Tony, Mooch and Al.

Hey, you know, that--

that's worth a try.

[ Movie Soundtrack ]

Yes, I am here,

the demon who

possesses your soul.

Wait a bit.

I am coming for you.

I have so much to show you.

Tony, listen,

I wanna see you outside.

Hey, what gives? I thought

you cats didn't dig spooky shows.

This is important.

Outside.

- Hey, what's up?

- Shhh.

I'll explain outside.

This is important.

You missed most of the picture.

You're not gonna get your money's worth.

None of us are,

unless somebody keeps quiet.

You're gotta come with us.

There's nobody else we can go to.

- Okay, you kids, knock it off.

- Come on !

What?

Walk out of the movie?

Let's cut out.

You cats gonna make it?

Not me. I'm part of this chair,

and I can't move.

Tsk.

Hold up, Mooch !

Hey, all right, Steve, you made us waste

our 80 cents. Now, what gives?

[ Al ]

Yeah, what's the scoop?

[ Mooch ]

What's the big idea, Steve?

Would you believe me if

I told you there was something

inside of that rock we found,

something that could wipe out

this whole town?

[ Laughing, Jeering ]

Knock it off !

Go ahead, Steve.

I saw this thing

kill Dr. Hallen tonight.

[ Together ]

Kill Dr. Hallen?

- That's right.

- Well, what is it?

I don't know.

But one thing's for sure,

if it can kill Dr. Hallen,

it can kill somebody else.

[ Al ]

What do you want us to do, Steve?

All right, we're gonna find this thing,

and we're gonna make people believe us.

Let's try Johnsonville

again, Ritchie.

- Okay.

- I just saw a strange one.

What do you mean?

On my way back here, I ran into

Mr. Connors coming outta that bar...

in the building he owns

over on Second Street.

He'd just stopped in,

and there was nobody there.

Queerest thing

I've ever seen.

TV was playin' away. The cash register

was there with the money still in it.

Nobody around.

No bartender, nobody.

I'll look in there

on the way home.

Forget it. The place

is all locked up now.

Why don't you go home

and get some shut-eye?

You can't run our shift

and yours too, you know?

Yeah, I know. I wish I knew

where those two doctors were, though.

- Any luck, Ritchie?

- Nope, they're not there.

Want me to call

the other hotels?

There's a lot of them

between here and Johnsonville.

No. I guess you're right.

I guess there's nothing here

that won't wait till morning.

Well, I'll see you guys.

- Good night.

- Good night.

[ Swing Jazz ]

Well, hello, kids !

Come on in !

You're just in time

for the fun.

- We came to warn you.

- Huh? How?

- We came here just to warn you--

- Oh, a warning !

Well, that's fine.

I didn't know you cared.

Hey, folks !

[ Fanfare ]

I want you

to meet Paul Revere,

and this is Mrs. Revere.

They've come to give us a warning

about something important.

The British are coming !

[ Laughing Continues ]

[ Nervous Chuckle ]

Excuse me.

We were just--

just looking for a monster.

[ Chuckles ]

Monsters? You must've been talking

to that guy from Second Street.

Man, I don't know

what they're serving over there,

but it sure must be great stuff.

Listen, we're trying to tell you.

We don't wanna get served.

Look, I have monsters in here

all the time, so beat it.

We don't serve kids anyway.

Where is he?

Over there, in the doorway

of your dad's store.

- Come on. Come on.

- Come on. Hey !

That's funny.

The door's not locked.

Do you think it's

been open all night?

Well, I don't know.

This is Friday.

The store closes at 10:00, and

then old Mr. Weinermeyer sweeps up...

and then he collects

all the push carts.

Huh. He works around for a couple

of hours before he locks up,

but I'm sure he'd never

be this late, not--

Hey, Mr. Weinermeyer ?

Hey, Mr. Weinermeyer,

where are you?

I'm gonna turn on the light.

- [ Clattering ]

- [ Jane ] Steve, what is it?

I don't know. Oh.

It's a broom and stuff

that Mr. Weinermeyer cleans up with.

It's spread all over the aisle.

[ Jane Screams ]

What's the matter ? Jane !

[ Dog Barking ]

[ Barking Continues ]

Here. You all right?

Yes.

[ Jane ]

Steve !

[ Both Panting ]

[ Sobbing ]

Oh, Steve, our parents !

They think we're home in bed

asleep, sound and safe.

[ Sobbing Continues ]

- [ Barking Continues ]

- Steve, it's the little dog !

Now listen ! Everything's gonna be

all right. Do you hear me? Now--

It's gonna be all right.

[ Jane Screaming ]

-[ Barking Continues ]

-I don't know if we can stop that thing.

[ Both Shivering ]

- The dog, Steve.

- Take it easy, Jane.

- Oh, Steve, the little dog !

- Don't cry, Jane.

There's nothing

we can do about it.

Now, Jane, just put this on.

It'll be all right.

Oh, Steve,

what are we gonna do?

I don't know.

That thing probably isn't far away.

We've gotta get out of here

before it comes back for us.

Now, come on.

All right?

- There they are !

Hey, where you kids been?

- Hey, it's in there !

- You're kidding !

- I wish I were kidding. It's in there.

- He got the little dog.

- Oh, you mean the old man's dog.

- We just seen him

running down the street.

- Oh, Steve !

- What do we do now?

- We're gonna call the police.

They want evidence.

There's a phone at the corner !

- Hmm.

- Go on !

- You talk to him, Tony.

- Me? Why me?

I'm supposed to be home asleep.

If they think I'm loose,

they'll never believe us.

Yeah, here's a dime.

Come on. Come on.

- Hey, what'll I say?

- Ask for Dave.

And you give it to him straight. You

tell him to get out to the store quick.

Tell him to bring every

piece of hardware he can find

in the police station.

[ Phone Ringing ]

Hello. Police department.

Is-- Who's this?

Arthur who?
