The Devil's Nightmare

---

1

Call the Baron, Greta.

Calm down, he's coming.

And then?

So, Hans?

I'm afraid the

baroness is worse.

Her heart is very weak.

It's a boy?

I'm sorry, Baron.

Your wife...

Answer my question.

Is it a boy?

No. It's a little girl.

A girl...

What is it, Baron?

Aren't you feeling well?

Is it a girl?

Go to the shelter with Greta,

don't expose yourself to anymore danger.

And you, General?

It's an order.

But the lady...

The dead are out

of danger, Greta.

And your daughter?

I'll take care of her.

Go now, Greta.

I'll come after you.

Would you allow me to take some

pictures of your beautiful castle?

- Out of the question!

- But...

Please do not insist.

I can not allow it.

Do you think we'll get

there before nightfall?

I Hope so.

What are you doing, you fool?

You need to pay more attention

to the steering wheel.

It wasn't my fault.

Don't blame me for every obstacle.

I think the road is closed.

Closed?

Look there.

There's someone in the field.

Why don't you ask him

where we are?

How do we get to Holentad?

Take the ferry that lies

within the next 50 kilometres.

But it never works after sunset.

I'm afraid you'll

get there too late.

Are there any hotels around here?

You can ask at the castle.

The Baron sometimes agrees to

receive some paying guests.

- Is it far?

- It's in the opposite direction.

Go back through the

village. It's on your left.

Where do you find it?

In the vicinity of the castle

of the Baron Von Ronberg.

You think she was murdered?

No, I think it was

a heart attack.

It looks like she saw

something that terrified her.

Yes, people die of fear.

Of fear?

What about that, doctor?

What is it?

It's the mark of the Devil.

The Succubus has returned to the castle.

What was that?

Nothing but a piece of

the faade that fell.

It's very beautiful.

Yes, it's beautiful.

- But it could have killed you.

Do not be afraid.

It's just an ordinary frog.

Can you help me with the luggage?

- But of course.

Let's go in, it's going to rain.

There is no one in the castle?

How do we know?

Your job is to find out.

So, Mr. Tukard, where

are you taking us now?

Well I...

Come with me.

With rain outside,

the castle gets even scarier.

Anybody up there?

Welcome to the castle Von Ronberg.

Do not be alarmed, please.

The castle is full of traps.

We were told that you could

give us shelter for one night.

Certainly.

I prepared everything after the phone call.

Phone call?

Who called?

I do not know, sir.

It was a female voice and said

there were seven tourists.

She even gave me their names.

Can you come with me, please?

I'll show you your rooms now.

This is your room, Father.

Sorry, I'm not a priest yet.

Study theology in the seminary.

Please do not leave

your bag there.

Why not?

Look at this mark, in

front of the fireplace.

On 8 December 1575, the date

on which Erika Von Ronberg...

disappeared in the night with

the monk who exorcised her.

Erika disappeared, leaving

this mark of the Devil.

Did they exorcise her? what for?

Because of a family curse.

Baron Von Ronberg will

explain later, perhaps.

If he thinks it necessary.

I must go now.

Mr and Mrs Foster,

this is your room.

What is it?

Sometimes pigeons fall through

the chimneys of the castle.

It's nothing unusual.

- Maybe not.

But do admit that finding a dead

bird is a strange welcome.

This room has

other qualities.

In 1436, the Prince and

Princess Von Hart...

Had their throats cut while they slept.

But that was in 1436.

He's strange.

This is your room, Mr. Tukard.

And this is yours, Mr. Mason.

I can not stand stuffy rooms.

Can't you air it?

That is impossible, sir.

- why it is impossible?

The window is sealed.

After the inexplicable

accident that cost the life...

of Urliha Von Ronberg in 1738.

Enough of these gruesome stories.

Get out.

I shan't be able to sleep

alone in this castle.

Shall we we share a room?

I have a perfect room for you.

Well?

I showed them to their rooms, Baron.

Fine, serve dinner

at eight o'clock.

If I don't help you,

we'll be late for dinner.

Leave me alone a little.

I am exhausted.

Let me do this.

Let me help you.

Or you will be here forever.

If not,

we'll be late for dinner.

You have beautiful skin.

I know your tastes, Howard.

You have not taken your eyes

off her since we started out.

Enough, Nancy.

That girl means nothing

to me, understand?

Since we arrived, you can't wait to flirt with her.

My money is all

that interests you.

That's the only reason you

haven't left me, isn't it?

I can divorce you.

Why, my dear. How could

I live without you?

Sometimes I wonder, Howard.

I see you collect weapons.

Not only do I collect, but every

morning I train with Hans.

He was my assistant

during the war.

Speaking of Hans, why does he

insist on scaring his guests?

Their all strange in this castle.

Mind if I tell you something?

I have been touring for 12 years and it

is the first time I take a seminarian.

Coincidentally, it's

also my first outing.

Pretty weird tour,too.

You've had bad luck.

Usually everything works out.

And the hospitality of this

castle is not bad at all.

That's just your opinion.

My bedroom window is sealed.

The butler has a face that gives you nightmares.

And the baron is

also very eccentric.

And you tell me this

place is not bad at all?

I hope the ladies are

comfortably settled.

Yes, but I must say that your

castle is somewhat frightening.

Old castles are always

mysterious, my dear.

Mr. Baron, dinner is served.

Let's go down to the dining room.

Ladies and gentlemen...

I think we should start eating.

Excuse me, Baron, would you tell

me about your family curse?

We've heard so much about it.

Since you insist.

But I don't want to spoil your appetites.

Do not worry about me.

When I'm hungry, I can

even eat with the Devil.

I was just about to refer to him.

In the 12th century, my ancestor,

Siegfried Von Ronberg...

made a pact with the Devil.

You mean that your ancestor

sold his soul to the Devil?

In exchange for his services, and

beyond the soul of Siegfried...

Satan demanded that the eldest daughter

of every generation of our family...

be in his service. So that she

would become a Succubus.

And what is a Succubus?

A sort of a vampire, I suppose.

You're mistaken, Mr. Mason.

They give the name of Succubus to a

demon who takes the feminine form...

to seduce men and lead

them to perdition.

It is not necessary to be a Succubus.

Everyone knows that women

can do this naturally.

Personally, I...

I do not believe these things.

Me neither!

Do you deny the existence of the Devil?

I don't believe in

vampires or Succubus.

I am atheist.

Thank God for that.

Unfortunately, I was, too.

But all the girls in our family were Succubus.

All my ancestors were the

victims of a violent death.

Do you have a daughter, Baron?

You again?

What are you doing here?

Why do you ask?

Are not you glad that
