You should see your face!

It's white as a sheet.

Excuse me, Mr. Slausen.

No.

We didn't hear your truck.

That's because

Jerry took it to town.

I walked up. Hell, we

couldn't fix that Jeep of his.

Nice boy that Jerry.

Got a real head on his shoulders.

- You two are married long?

- Oh, a while.

Yeah, you be good to him, you hear.

It's real important a wife

take good care of her husband.

- You know what I'm saying?

- Yeah.

My wife was the best thing

that ever happened to me.

What a charmer she was!

She could talk the birds

right down out of the trees.

And a worker too, Molly.

A real good worker.

Man can't ask much

more than that, can he?

She could make a pot of chilly, make your

mouth water just thinking about them.

We were gonna make this

place into a real fine resort.

She wanted to

build a nice hotel...

down by the spring.

She died so young.

It was cancer that killed her.

She died in my arms.

I'm sorry.

It should have been me.

I'm sorry, I...

I get carried away sometimes.

Where is that other girl?

Oh hmm... she went outside.

I thought I told her not to.

Well, she... said she

just wanted to cool off.

I'll bet she's

snooping around outside.

Davey?

Davey, are you there?

Davey.

Oh, my God!

What are you looking at?

Mr. Slausen's photo album.

This must be his brother.

You're a regular

little snoop, Molly.

It was on the coffee table.

Mr. Slausen might not be too happy if he

found you checking through his pictures.

- Becky!

- What?

Look at this!

- It's probably his wife. So what?

- Don't you see?

See what?

She looks just like

that mannequin there.

You're right.

How weird!

It seems this is the

mannequin of his wife.

I don't know.

Maybe it's just his

way of remembering her.

I loved her very much.

I wanted to keep

her memory alive forever.

This was the best way I know how.

That's the whole purpose

of wax museums, you know.

Keep the memory of the past alive.

And it's easier for me this way.

- She was very beautiful.

- She still is.

Where's Eileen?

I didn't find her. She...

probably went

back down to the jeep.

- By herself, without telling us?

- Or where else could she be?

- What are you doing?

- I'm going to find her!

With a gun?

Alright, without a gun.

Mr. Slausen!

Can we go with you?

It's best you ladies

stay put, right here.

Stay put, my ass!

Becky!

- Don't go.

- I have to!

No you don't. You can

stay here and wait for Jerry.

I'm going.

Alright!

I'll come with you.

But I think we're making a mistake.

Did you hear that?

Mm Hmm.

That is Eileen's laugh!

I'll bet you 10 bucks

I know she's in there.

Woody. What if you have some

lucky farm boy. It has to be, Woody.

Then why don't let those two

a few minutes in his house?

We got to climb the patios

and get the hell at them.

- No, leave them alone.

- They deserve this!

Come on, Becky. I've had all the

excitement I can take for one day.

I'm going back.

Let's go.

- Chicken!

- That's right!

- Now, let's go.

- I'm going in.

Then you're going in alone,

because I'm going back.

Becky!

Come on, you've got no

business going in there!

Eileen!

I'm in here.

Eileen!

Woody!

I... I know you're in here.

I'm in...

Woody.

Come on!

Are we through?

Jesus!

Come on, guys.

Look, that's not funny.

You're beginning to scare me.

Please.

Becky.

Eileen!

Eileen?

Eileen, is that you?

Eileen!

Open the door!

I brought you a visitor.

You are so pretty.

No, please!

Not again!

Why don't you like me?

Beck?

Becky!

Jerry!

Are you alright?

Who is he?

Slausen's crazy brother.

Where are the others?

I don't know.

What's he going to do to us?

He's going to kill us.

I was stopping for

gas along the highway.

I never even saw him coming.

He's crazy.

We're all going to die!

We're all going to die!

We are going to have a party!

How do I look, huh?

How do I look?

Well, here we are.

Here we are.

Drink.

Drink.

Leave her alone!

You can't get away.

- This is for you.

- No.

No...?

It doesn't matter.

It's time.

The party's over.

Oh, you're so pretty.

It's a shame you have to die.

No!

It'll be quick.

But it won't be easy.

You'll die of fright.

Please.

Please.

It feels good, doesn't it, huh?

Cool and soothing.

It's funny about plastic.

As it starts to dry...

... it gets very hot,

almost burning the skin.

You'll panic as I seal the lips.

And now the eyes.

Oh, your face is burning now.

The plastic is getting tight.

Your world is dark.

You'll never see again.

It's getting hard

to breathe, isn't it?

I'm going to seal the last hope.

You won't be able to

breathe, but you won't suffocate.

Your heart will burst from fright

before you lose consciousness.

Yes

Now...

you are one of us...

Isn't she pretty?

Stop it!

Oh, my God.

She is a pretty girl.

My brother didn't know about her.

I kept her hidden here.

He doesn't know much, my brother.

He's kind of stupid!

All he cares about is

that foolish museum of his.

I hate him!

One day I'm going

to get rid of him.

He should let me go to the city.

I could work for the Wax Museum.

Oh how much I hate him.

He makes me wear

these stupid masks.

Do you know why?

Do you know why?

Because I'm handsome.

I'm better looking than he is.

He doesn't like his wife to see me.

He is afraid she'll

be attracted to me.

He thinks I stay

here all the time.

He doesn't know what I really do.

I go out.

People don't come here anymore,

so I have to go out to the highway.

The gas station is perfect.

That's where I found Tina.

She's so pretty!

Pretty good trick, huh?

My brother doesn't

like me to do that stuff.

He pretends he doesn't

even know about my power.

But it feels good when I use it.

I shouldn't have to hide it!

I mean I can control it!

I can!

I shouldn't have to hide it!

It feels good!

But it scares me.

Sometimes I really don't

know what I'm doing.

Isn't she pretty?

Eileen!

Who is it?

Molly.

Somebody's there!

I can hear you!

Come on, you guys!

Quit fooling around with me!

Seen my friend?

Wait, little girl.

Little girl!

See my friend!

- Molly!

- Little girl.

Molly!

Don't go away, little girl.

See my friend!

Molly!

- Help me!

- Good Lord girl! What happened to you?

He's trying to kill me!

Get us out of here!

Hurry!

What happened to you?

What's the matter?

This... thing...

- It's out there!

- Alright, calm down now Molly.

Calm down.

You're safe with me.

What, was it an animal

scared you like this?

No. It was some

kind of horrible man!

What did this thing look like?

He was wearing...

He was wearing some kind of mask.

Oh, dear God.

That man was my brother.

You are hiding him, aren't you?

You don't understand, Molly.

He never hurt anyone before.

He killed Woody!

And probably the

others, for all we know.

I was only trying to protect him.

Take care of him!

He is my brother!

It's not his fault,

he's the way he is.

We have to get the police.

I'm sorry, but we have to!
