[Engine sputtering]

WHAT'S WRONG?

HELL, I DON'T KNOW.

I WISH I COULD HELP, BUT I

DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT CARS.

[Sighs] I DON'T THINK

THIS THING'S GONNA START.

MAYBE WE OUGHT:

TO PHONE A GARAGE.

YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT,

BUT I DON'T

HAVE A TELEPHONE.

WELL, THAT'S GREAT.

NOW WHAT AM I GONNA DO?

[Chuckles] I DON'T KNOW.

[Nervous laugh]

YOU-YOU KNOW,

THIS IS REALLY:

A GOOD IDEA.

I'M COMPLETELY

WIPED OUT.

I--I DON'T EVEN

THINK I COULD DRIVE

IF I HAD TO.

I'M SURE YOU'LL FEEL

BETTER IN THE MORNING.

OH, YES. YES.

I'M SORRY ABOUT THIS ROOM,

BUT IT HASN'T BEEN USED

FOR YEARS AND YEARS.

OH, NO, NO.

DON'T APOLOGIZE.

IT'S FINE, FINE.

UH...LET'S SEE.

HERE'S A NIGHTGOWN

YOU CAN PUT ON IF YOU LIKE.

THANK YOU.

[Sighs] WILBUR...

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

WHO IS SHE?

JUST A GIRL.

SHE GAVE ME A RIDE HOME.

DOES ANYONE KNOW

SHE'S OUT HERE?

NO.

SUPPOSE SHE GOES UP THERE?

SHE WON'T.

SHE HAS NO REASON TO.

[Rattling]

[Strange music]

[Laughing]

[Laughing]

[Screaming]

[Screaming]

[Cackling]

[Panting]

[Elizabeth] SHE DIDN'T

COME HOME LAST NIGHT.

SHE MUST'VE DRIVEN

THAT BOY HOME.

I COULD SEE SHE WAS

ATTRACTED TO HIM,

BUT I DON'T THINK

GOING OUT THERE:

WAS SUCH A GOOD IDEA.

WELL, DIDN'T YOU

TRY TO TELEPHONE?

I COULDN'T

GET A LISTING.

OH.

IT'S NOT LIKE HER

NOT TO HAVE CALLED ME.

NOW, IF HE WERE

A STRAIGHT GUY,

I WOULDN'T BE WORRIED.

[Nancy] I CAN'T REMEMBER

MUCH MORE.

EXCEPT IT WAS THE WEIRDEST

DREAM I'VE EVER HAD.

SOUNDS KIND OF SEXUAL TO ME.

[Laughs]

OK, DR. FREUD, TELL ME

WHAT IT ALL MEANS.

WELL, THIS IS

OUR FIRST SESSION.

IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO TELL.

ARE YOU PREPARED

TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS?

ASK ME ANYTHING.

ALL RIGHT. HOW DO YOU

FEEL ABOUT SEX?

I THINK IT'S GREAT.

SO DO I, NANCY.

WELL, I MEAN, I THINK

IT'S GREAT IF IT'S

AT THE RIGHT TIME

AND THE RIGHT PLACE.

YOU'VE LED A STRANGE

LIFE HERE, WILBUR.

I WAS RAISED:

BY MY GRANDFATHER,

AND HE TAUGHT ME

ALL THE THINGS HE KNOWS.

I HAD TO WORK HARDER

THAN MOST KIDS,

BUT IT HASN'T

BEEN SO BAD.

WELL, I COME

FROM THE CITY AND--

WELL, I JUST--I DON'T

KNOW, I NEVER FELT

SO RELAXED OR HAD

SUCH PEACE OF MIND.

I THINK THE COUNTRY

DOES THAT FOR PEOPLE.

NANCY, WHY DON'T YOU

STAY THE WEEKEND?

WELL, I'D

LIKE TO, WILBUR,

BUT I--I COULDN'T.

BUT YOU'D

LIKE TO, THOUGH, HUH?

HER CAR'S THERE.

SHE'S GOTTA BE

AROUND SOMEWHERE.

[Knocking]

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

PARDON US.

WE'RE LOOKING

FOR OUR FRIEND...

NANCY WAGNER.

I'M DR. ARMITAGE

AND THIS IS:

ELIZABETH HAMILTON.

WE MET YOUR GRANDSON

WILBUR YESTERDAY

IN THE UNIVERSITY.

ARMITAGE?

WHAT WOULD MY GRANDSON

WANT WITH YOU?

HE CAME TO SEE ME

ABOUT A BOOK I OWN,

THE NECRONOMICON.

LOOK, IS MY

GIRLFRIEND HERE:

OR ISN'T SHE?

NO! GO AWAY!

GO AWAY!

WERE YOU LOOKING

FOR US, DOCTOR?

NANCY!

ARE YOU:

ALL RIGHT?

I WAS WORRIED:

ABOUT YOU.

OF COURSE:

SHE'S ALL RIGHT.

SHE'S NOT A CHILD.

SHE DROVE ME HOME

LAST NIGHT:

AND THEN SHE DECIDED

TO STAY THE WEEKEND.

DIDN'T YOU, NANCY?

YES. YES,

I DID.

SO IF THAT'S WHAT YOU CAME

TO SEE ABOUT, DOCTOR,

I GUESS WE'LL BE

SAYING GOODBYE.

[Elizabeth]

NANCY, WAIT

A SECOND.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT

YOU'RE DOING?

OF COURSE I KNOW

WHAT I'M DOING.

I'M STAYING

WITH WILBUR.

NANCY--

BYE, ELIZABETH.

BOY, I REALLY

CAN'T BELIEVE

SHE DRAGGED:

DR. ARMITAGE

ALL THE WAY UP HERE.

[Chuckling] I MEAN,

THAT'S SOMETHING I--

I EXPEC FROM MY MOTHER.

DOESN'T MATTER.

WOULD YOU LIKE:

SOME MORE TEA?

PLEASE.

YOU TIRED, OR IS IT

THE COMPANY?

OH, NO, NO, NO.

I DON'T KNOW,

I'M KINDA SLEEPY.

WELL, WE DID TAKE

A LONG WALK TODAY.

YEAH.

MAYBE YOU COULD:

USE A LITTLE NAP.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S

NOT A BAD IDEA.

UM, WE ARE GOING

TO TOWN, AREN'T WE?

SURE. BUT I THINK YOU'LL

ENJOY YOURSELF MORE

IF YOU CAN KEEP:

YOUR EYES OPEN.

[Embarrassed laugh]

UM, I'LL BE

ALL RIGHT.

YOU LIED TO ME.

NOW TELL ME:

THE TRUTH!

KEEP YOUR VOICE:

DOWN, WILL YOU?

WHY IS SHE HERE?

I TOLD YOU, HER CAR

BROKE DOWN.

WHAT ABOUT THIS?

DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

AND THOSE:

PEOPLE.

YOU TOLD ME NO ONE

KNEW SHE WAS HERE.

THEY DON'T MATTER.

THAT MAN ARMITAGE WROTE

THE PAPER ON MY FATHER.

HE KNOWS ALL ABOUT US.

I DON'T HAVE

TO ANSWER TO YOU.

I DO WHAT I WANT.

COME BACK HERE!

LET THE BOOK BE!

[Machinery drowning out

conversation]

YOU KNOW,

IT HAPPENED:

25 YEARS AGO.

THEY WERE:

A STRANGE FAMILY.

I JUST HOPE THERE'S

SOMETHING IN THERE.

THIS USED TO BE:

THE TOWN BANK, YOU KNOW.

AH, HERE IT IS.

THIS IS THE ONE.

LET'S GET IT

OUT IN THE LIGHT.

AH, HERE IT IS

JUST LIKE I TOLD YOU.

"MOTHER NAMED LAVINIA,

FATHER UNKNOWN.

"CHILD CALLED WILBUR."

I SET THAT TYPE MYSELF

25 YEARS AGO.

WHO WAS THE DELIVERING

PHYSICIAN?

SAME OLD DOC:

THAT DELIVERS:

ALL OF THEM:

AROUND HERE...

DOC CORY.

THANK YOU,

MR. FULLER.

ELIZABETH--

DR. ARMITAGE!

IF I WERE YOU, I'D STAY

AWAY FROM THE WHATELEYS.

ELIZABETH.

THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL

TOWN SQUARE.

70 YEARS AGO,

THERE WAS A BIG:

OAK TREE RIGHT THERE

IN THE MIDDLE:

OF THE STREET.

THAT'S WHERE THE

PEOPLE OF DUNWICH

LYNCHED MY:

GREAT-GRANDFATHER.

THEY JUST LET HIM

HANG THERE:

FOR DAYS AND DAYS

AND DAYS AND DAYS.

THEN THEY BURNED

THE TREE DOWN:

TO THE GROUND.

WILBUR, STOP IT.

IT'S JUST HISTORY.

WHY DID THEY DO IT?

BECAUSE HE:

DIDN'T BELIEVE

IN WHAT:

THEY BELIEVED.

BECAUSE HE WASN'T

AFRAID OF THEIR GOD

OR THEIR DEVIL EITHER,

FOR THAT MATTER.

IN FACT, HE THOUGH THEY WERE PRETTY

MUCH ALIKE.

WHAT DID HE BELIEVE IN?

IN ANOTHER:

RACE OF BEINGS:

FROM A DIFFERENT

DIMENSION.

AN EARLIER RACE,

SUPERIOR TO MAN.

AND HE BELIEVED:

THEY COULD BE:

BROUGHT BACK.

YOU MEAN THEY:

HANGED HIM FOR THAT?

YES.

THEY TRUMPED UP:

A MURDER CHARGE:

TO COVER IT UP.

A GIRL HAD:

DISAPPEARED AND--

THEN WITHOUT:

A SHRED OF EVIDENCE,

THEY WENT AFTER HIM.

THEY CLAIMED HE USED HER

IN SOME SORT OF SACRIFICE.

YOU MUST BE:

WORRIED, TOO,

TO GO TO ALL:

OF THIS TROUBLE.

OK, THE DOCTOR

WILL SEE YOU NOW.

THANK YOU.

I WON'T BE LONG.

DR. CORY?

YES?

I'M HENRY ARMITAGE,

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY.

I'M LECTURING

AT THE UNIVERSITY

IN ARKHAM.

OH, YES, YES,

WELL...

WHAT CAN I DO:

FOR YOU, DOCTOR?

I'M...NOT SURE.

I HAVE A RATHER:

STRANGE REQUEST.

WELL, A COUNTRY

DOCTOR'S

USED TO THEM.

PLEASE, SIT DOWN.

THANK YOU.

WELL, NOW...

PLEASE GO AHEAD.

I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU

SOME QUESTIONS:

ABOUT THE WHATELEY FAMILY.

WELL, THAT'S AN ODD

BIRD OF AN AILMENT,

BUT IT FLARES UP

NOW AND AGAIN:

IN THESE PARTS.

HAVEN'T YOU

EVER BEEN THERE?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

I WOULDN'T GO

NEAR THAT PLACE.

WHY?

OH, THAT PLACE

GIVES ME:

THE CREEPS.

BUT WHY?

WELL...SOME SAY

THAT OLD:

WHATELEY:

AND WILBUR:

AREN'T ALONE...

THAT THERE'S

SOMETHING ELSE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

"SOMETHING ELSE"?

I--I DON'T KNOW

EXACTLY, BUT, UH...

WHEN I WAS:

A LITTLE KID,

THE OTHER:

CHILDREN AND I,

WE THOUGHT THE OLD

WHATELEY HOUSE:

WAS HAUNTED.

OF COURSE, I DON'T

BELIEVE THAT ANYMORE,

BUT I KEEP AWAY:

AND SO DOES:

EVERYONE ELSE.

ANYWAY, THE OLD MAN

AND WILBUR,

THEY HAVEN'T

ALLOWED:
