I'm Watson Pritchard.

0:01:07.747,0:01:11.509
In just a minute I'll show you the only[br]really haunted house in the world.

0:01:13.218,0:01:15.243
Since it was built a century ago,

0:01:15.258,0:01:17.067
seven people, including my brother,

0:01:17.087,0:01:18.987
have been murdered in it.

0:01:19.842,0:01:22.492
Since then, I've owned the house.

0:01:23.901,0:01:26.211
I've only spent one night there,

0:01:26.245,0:01:28.335
and when they found me in the morning I...

And I've rented the house [br]on Haunted Hill tonight

0:01:44.601,0:01:46.274
so that my wife can give a party.

0:01:46.592,0:01:49.332
A haunted house party. (chuckles)

0:01:49.945,0:01:52.015
She's so amusing.

0:01:52.766,0:01:55.634
There will be food and drink and... [br]ghosts.

0:01:56.137,0:01:58.109
And perhaps even a few murders.

0:01:58.864,0:02:00.894
You're all invited.

0:02:01.094,0:02:04.092
If any of you will spend the next [br]twelve hours in this house,

0:02:04.252,0:02:06.255
I'll give you each $10,000 -

0:02:06.855,0:02:09.578
- or your next of kin, [br]in case you don't survive.

0:02:10.358,0:02:12.797
Ah, but here come our other guests.

0:02:16.495,0:02:21.005
(Frederick) It was my wife's idea [br]to have our guests come in funeral cars.

0:02:22.740,0:02:24.312
She's so amusing.

0:02:24.752,0:02:27.532
Her sense of humor is, shall we say, [br]original.

0:02:28.070,0:02:29.663

- who knows?

0:02:36.264,0:02:37.264
[Tense music.]

0:02:37.315,0:02:39.608
This is Lance Schroeder, a test pilot.

0:02:39.828,0:02:41.834
So, no doubt a brave man.

0:02:42.424,0:02:44.936
But don't you think you can be [br]much braver if you're paid for it?

0:02:45.782,0:02:47.251
And I happen to know that Lance

0:02:47.251,0:02:49.583
needs the ten thousand I'll give him,

0:02:49.903,0:02:52.349
if he's brave enough to stay all night.

0:02:52.700,0:02:54.320
This is Ruth Bridgers.

0:02:54.430,0:02:57.170
You've no doubt read her column[br]in the newspapers.

0:02:57.289,0:02:59.330
She says her reason [br]for coming to the party

0:02:59.330,0:03:01.590
is to write a feature article on ghosts.

0:03:02.278,0:03:05.608
She's also desperate for money. [br]Gambles.

You've already met Watson Pritchard,

0:03:09.661,0:03:12.347
a man living in mortal fear of a house,

0:03:12.347,0:03:15.123
and yet he is risking his life [br]to spend another night here.

0:03:15.123,0:03:16.793
I wonder why.

0:03:17.485,0:03:19.095
He says "for money".

0:03:21.189,0:03:23.998
This is Dr. David Trent, a psychiatrist.

0:03:24.698,0:03:27.888
He claims that my ghosts [br]will help his work on hysteria.

0:03:28.901,0:03:31.780
But don't you see [br]a little touch of greed there

0:03:32.424,0:03:34.621
around the mouth and eyes?

0:03:36.686,0:03:38.404
This is Nora Manning.

0:03:38.930,0:03:41.440
I picked her from the thousands [br]of people who work for me

0:03:41.440,0:03:44.261
because she needed the ten thousand [br]more than most.

0:03:44.590,0:03:46.449
Supports her whole family.

Isn't she pretty?

0:13:39.446,0:13:42.476
(Fredrick) And the only door [br]to the outside locks like a vault.

0:13:42.816,0:13:47.551
There's no electricity. No phone.[br]No one within miles.

0:13:48.468,0:13:50.512
So, no way to call for help.

0:13:51.995,0:13:53.358
Watson: Like a coffin.

0:13:53.358,0:13:54.578
(stops pouring drink)

0:13:56.474,0:13:58.248
Fredrick: So! If any of you [br]decide not to stay for the party,

0:13:58.248,0:13:59.248
(ice rattling)

0:13:59.248,0:14:01.297
you must let me know before midnight.

0:14:01.708,0:14:05.357
Of course, if you leave, I shan't be able [br]to pay you anything.

0:14:06.110,0:14:09.686
David: I'm interested in your reasons [br]for this... "party."

0:14:10.707,0:14:12.706
Aside from pleasant company.

0:14:14.407,0:14:15.864
Fredrick: Ghosts, Doctor!

0:14:16.501,0:14:19.011
I think everyone wonders [br]what they would do

0:14:19.149,0:14:20.864
if they saw a ghost.

0:14:23.410,0:14:26.393
And now my wife has given us all[br]the opportunity to find out.

0:14:26.461,0:14:27.626
David: Hm. Amusing.

0:14:27.642,0:14:31.112
David: Ghosts, etcetera, being only [br]creations of hysteria,

0:14:31.447,0:14:33.689
your party should be a success!

0:14:34.275,0:14:36.927
Fredrick: Pritchard here promises us [br]genuine ghosts.

0:14:37.600,0:14:40.834
Watson: Seven, now. Maybe more [br]before morning.

0:14:41.998,0:14:43.417
Fredrick: That's cheerful.

0:14:44.578,0:14:47.000
Watson: Four men have been [br]murdered in this house.

0:14:48.538,0:14:49.525
And three women.

0:14:49.893,0:14:52.361
David: You planned your party [br]very well, Mr. Loren.

0:14:52.361,0:14:54.154
Four of us are men. Three are women.

0:14:55.118,0:14:56.401
A ghost for everybody.

0:14:57.808,0:15:00.592
Fredrick: Pritchard, why don't you take [br]us on a tour through the house?

0:15:00.592,0:15:02.416
Let's see what happens?

0:15:12.224,0:15:15.290
Watson: See that stain? Blood.

0:15:16.754,0:15:19.129
Watson: A young girl was killed here.

0:15:19.999,0:15:21.749
And whatever got her, wasn't human -

0:15:21.875,0:15:24.356
- Don't stand there![br]- Ruth: What do you mean? Where?

0:15:25.446,0:15:28.286
(panicky music)

0:15:32.441,0:15:35.041
(ominous music)

0:15:36.136,0:15:37.381
Watson: It's too late. [br]They've marked you.

0:15:38.035,0:15:40.269
David: Ridiculous. The roof [br]probably leaks.

0:15:40.512,0:15:43.484
Ruth: That must be what it is. [br]Who'd want to haunt me?

0:15:43.869,0:15:46.205
Fredrick: I'd say any self-respecting [br]male ghost.

0:15:46.643,0:15:48.669
Watson: I hope it doesn't come back.

0:15:48.669,0:15:50.967
David: Mr. Pritchard, you're the [br]life of the party.

0:15:50.967,0:15:52.471
Fredrick: He hasn't even started yet.

0:15:52.471,0:15:55.855
Wasn't there a man who threw his wife [br]into a wine vat or something?

0:15:56.215,0:15:57.896
Watson: That was in the cellar.

0:15:57.966,0:16:00.374
There's been a murder almost every [br]place in this house.

0:16:00.374,0:16:02.095
(door opens swiftly)

0:16:02.105,0:16:05.705
(woeful music)

0:16:05.705,0:16:09.415
(footsteps on stairs)

0:16:09.430,0:16:15.380
(woeful music)

0:16:16.810,0:16:21.413
Watson: All this belonged to a Mr. Norton, [br]who didn't die here.

0:16:21.459,0:16:24.682
He was electrocuted later.

0:16:25.971,0:16:30.537
Watson: Mr. Norton did a good deal of [br]experimenting with wines.

0:16:30.936,0:16:33.880
But his wife didn't think [br]it was any good.

0:16:34.628,0:16:38.238
So he filled a vat with acid and [br]threw her in.

0:16:38.541,0:16:41.157
(Watson) She was supposed to stay down,

0:16:41.977,0:16:44.017
but the bones came up.

0:16:45.217,0:16:47.348
Watson: It's a funny thing.

0:16:47.639,0:16:50.492
None of the murders here [br]were just ordinary.

0:16:50.915,0:16:53.971
Just shooting. Or stabbing.

0:16:55.495,0:16:59.857
They've all been sort of wild. [br]Violent, and different.

0:17:00.797,0:17:01.567
(dramatic music)

0:17:01.567,0:17:02.447
Lance: Look out!

0:17:02.447,0:17:03.537
(woodwind music)

0:17:03.577,0:17:05.887
Watson: Thank God she didn't fall in.

0:17:05.887,0:17:08.346
Nora: You mean there's still acid[br]in there?

0:17:10.187,0:17:13.777
(woodwind music)

0:17:26.089,0:17:30.582
( violent bubbling )

0:17:30.980,0:17:34.808
Watson: Destroys everything [br]with hair and flesh.

0:17:35.429,0:17:39.072
Just leaves the bones.

0:17:39.274,0:17:40.874
(piano trill)

0:17:41.205,0:17:43.345
(trumpeting)

0:17:44.681,0:17:46.141
(quiet bubbling)

0:17:50.457,0:17:53.538
Watson: My, it's dry and dusty [br]down here.

0:17:54.515,0:17:58.245
Fredrick: Well there's... a cure... [br]for that...upstairs. Come on.

0:18:10.686,0:18:11.946
(door shuts firmly)

0:18:11.948,0:18:14.088
Lance: How'd you get invited [br]to this party?

0:18:15.697,0:18:16.697
(door quickly opens)

0:18:17.002,0:18:18.002
(door quickly shuts)

0:18:18.307,0:18:20.563
Lance: I mean, what'd he tell you?

0:18:24.070,0:18:27.214
Nora: Mr. Loren said everybody [br]would get $10,000.

0:18:27.773,0:18:29.851
Lance: But he didn't say anything [br]about being locked in.

0:18:30.104,0:18:31.011
Nora: No.

0:18:31.713,0:18:34.312
Lance: He just made the deal with me [br]on the phone.

0:18:34.442,0:18:36.483
But nothing about having to stay.

0:18:37.046,0:18:39.017
Nora: Aren't you going to stay?

0:18:39.368,0:18:41.626
Lance: If I don't, I lose $10,000.

0:18:44.139,0:18:47.544
Nora: I'm going to stay, too. [br]$10,000...

0:18:48.224,0:18:50.694
Lance: Yes... Do you believe in [br]ghosts?

0:18:52.169,0:18:53.879
Nora: ( laughs) I don't know.

0:18:54.532,0:18:57.171
Lance: Well, I agree with what [br]that doc says.

0:18:57.171,0:18:58.733
You can spook yourself.

0:18:58.733,0:19:01.291
I've done it in planes. Seen things [br]that weren't really there.

0:19:02.055,0:19:03.876
Or, were they?[br]( laughing )

0:19:05.460,0:19:07.595
Lance: What are you going to do [br]with your $10,000?

0:19:07.595,0:19:08.904
If we get it.

0:19:09.219,0:19:10.843
Nora: What do you mean [br]"if we get it?"

0:19:10.843,0:19:13.057
Won't he pay us if we stay?

0:19:13.200,0:19:15.615
Lance: Sure he will. $10,000 [br]is no more to him,

0:19:15.829,0:19:17.328
than a nickel is to us.

0:19:17.741,0:19:20.018
Nora: We were in an [br]automobile accident.

0:19:20.371,0:19:23.243
Now I'm the only one in the family [br]who can make any money.

0:19:24.274,0:19:26.663
Lance: Boy, I've never seen [br]so many doors.

0:19:29.625,0:19:30.995

David: The only way you could bump [br]your head in here -

- is to run head-on into the wall.

0:28:04.968,0:28:07.452
What were you doing [br]wandering around by yourself?

0:28:07.911,0:28:14.428
Nora: I was in the cellar with Lance - [br]Mr. Schroeder - I just left, that's all.

0:28:15.988,0:28:17.529
Annabelle: Don't do it again.

0:28:18.486,0:28:21.246
(Annabelle) Don't go anywhere in this [br]house by yourself.

0:28:22.464,0:28:25.381
Now fix your face and I'll come by [br]for you in a few minutes.

0:28:25.666,0:28:27.730
Nora: But I -[br]- Annabelle: You're in danger.

0:28:28.574,0:28:29.796
We all are.

0:28:30.452,0:28:31.396
Nora: But who?

0:28:32.484,0:28:35.119
Annabelle: I hope, for your sake, [br]you never find out.

0:28:50.437,0:28:52.694
Annabelle: I'm Annabelle Loren. [br]Were you looking for something?

0:28:52.694,0:28:54.077
Lance: Not exactly.

0:28:54.077,0:28:55.082
Annabelle: Are you the doctor?

0:28:55.082,0:28:57.573
Lance: No. I'm Lance Schroeder.[br]- Annabelle: The pilot.

0:28:57.573,0:28:58.785
You've hurt yourself.

0:28:58.785,0:29:01.064
Lance: Oh, it's just [br]a bump on the head.

0:29:01.064,0:29:03.787
Which is my room?

0:29:03.787,0:29:05.317
Annabelle: I believe this is it.

0:29:06.885,0:29:08.085
Lance: Thank you, Mrs. Loren.

0:29:09.416,0:29:12.026
Annabelle: Annabelle, Lance.

0:29:22.598,0:29:24.470
Annabelle: You were with the young girl [br]in the cellar.

0:29:24.470,0:29:26.121
Why was she so upset?

0:29:26.121,0:29:27.308
Lance: Was she?

0:29:27.308,0:29:30.471
Annabelle: And you don't look like [br]the type to go around bumping his head.

0:29:30.471,0:29:32.131
What really happened, Lance?

0:29:32.131,0:29:36.021
Lance: Nora thought she saw a ghost, [br]but I didn't see anything.

0:29:36.021,0:29:37.960
Annabelle: She was just [br]frightened, then?

0:29:37.960,0:29:40.480
Lance: And mad at me, I think. [br]I kidded her about it.

0:29:40.480,0:29:44.841
Annabelle: I wouldn't joke about anything [br]else that happens here tonight.

0:29:44.841,0:29:47.120
Lance: Now, don't tell me you're taking [br]all of this seriously?

0:29:47.120,0:29:48.900
Annabelle: Aren't you?

0:29:48.900,0:29:51.970
Lance: Well, I'd like to find out [br]what hit me.

0:29:51.970,0:29:53.278
Annabelle: Lance...

0:29:56.388,0:29:58.648
If I need help, may I count on you?

0:29:59.898,0:30:01.959
Lance: Yes, sure. I guess so.

0:30:03.369,0:30:05.649
Look - what's going on here, anyway?

0:30:05.649,0:30:07.829
What's with this party business?

0:30:07.829,0:30:09.794
Annabelle: This is no party, [br]he's planning something.

0:30:09.794,0:30:11.518
Lance: Your husband?

0:30:11.518,0:30:13.435
Annabelle: I wish I knew what it was.

0:30:13.435,0:30:16.303
Lance: It must be pretty big, [br]if he's going to lay out $50,000.

0:30:16.303,0:30:18.220
Annabelle: Money doesn't mean anything.

0:30:18.220,0:30:21.842
He has a reason for getting us all [br]up here to this dreadful old house.

0:30:22.092,0:30:24.501
Lance: Well, what for? He doesn't [br]even know us.

0:30:25.331,0:30:27.189
Annabelle: Maybe that's exactly [br]why you're here?

0:30:27.969,0:30:30.740
Lance (scoffs): What can he get away with?

0:30:30.740,0:30:33.941
Annabelle: Oh, he thinks that big money [br]like his can get away with anything.

0:30:34.341,0:30:36.281
You know, of course, that [br]I'm his fourth wife.

0:30:37.461,0:30:39.340
The first simply disappeared...

0:30:39.800,0:30:41.080
The other two died.

0:30:42.030,0:30:44.740
Lance, I don't want to join them.

0:30:47.300,0:30:48.803
Lance: You mean, he, uh -

0:30:48.803,0:30:51.170
Annabelle: Oh, his doctors said [br]they died of heart attacks.

0:30:51.900,0:30:55.302
Two girls, in their twenties.

0:30:56.382,0:30:58.122
Lance: Well, what can he do?

0:30:58.582,0:31:00.688
Annabelle: My husband is sometimes [br]insane with jealousy.

0:31:00.688,0:31:03.880
Nothing matters to him then. [br]Please be careful.

0:31:04.430,0:31:06.519
Lance: Would he hurt you?

0:31:08.479,0:31:11.090
Annabelle: He would kill me [br]if he could.

0:31:16.350,0:31:17.960
(door shuts)

0:31:19.300,0:31:21.610
(spooky music)

0:31:25.960,0:31:26.890
(door quickly shuts)

0:31:32.570,0:31:34.350
Fredrick: Annabelle, you're missing [br]all the fun.

0:31:34.350,0:31:35.280
(door shuts firmly)

0:31:35.280,0:31:37.970
Nora Manning was almost killed [br]by a falling chandelier.

0:31:37.970,0:31:39.740
The pilot bashed his head in.

0:31:39.740,0:31:41.462
Annabelle: Is he badly hurt?

0:31:41.462,0:31:44.890
Fredrick: The saturnine psychiatrist [br]bandaged him up.

0:31:44.890,0:31:47.191
Don't you want to go [br]and console him?

0:31:47.191,0:31:51.502
As you do, most men, [br]in your fashion.

0:31:51.502,0:31:53.491
Annabelle: You're so clever, Fredrick.

0:31:53.491,0:31:56.211
Fredrick: I lie awake nights, [br]wondering why I married you.

0:31:56.211,0:31:58.279
It was rather a mistake.

0:31:58.279,0:32:00.093
Annabelle: You didn't marry me, dear.[br]I married you.

0:32:00.093,0:32:03.131
Unpleasant, but no mistake.

0:32:03.131,0:32:05.005
Fredrick: Hurry up!

0:32:05.005,0:32:07.731
Annabelle: Fredrick, for the last time, [br]I'm not going to your party.

0:32:07.731,0:32:10.770
Fredrick: And, for the last time, [br]it's not my party -

0:32:10.770,0:32:12.850
- but yours.

0:32:12.850,0:32:14.540
And you are going.

0:32:16.040,0:32:17.421
Annabelle: I am not.

0:32:17.421,0:32:19.461
Fredrick: Are you ready? [br]- Annabelle: ... no ...

0:32:20.511,0:32:23.951
Fredrick (forceful): Are you ready, dear?[br]- Annabelle: ... Yes, damn you!

0:32:24.911,0:32:27.361
Fredrick: Would you adore me as much, [br]if I were poor?

0:32:27.361,0:32:31.360
(laughs) All you want to be [br]is a lovely widow.

0:32:33.060,0:32:35.912
It's almost time to lock up the house.

0:32:35.912,0:32:38.270
And then your party will really begin.

0:32:39.290,0:32:41.212
I wonder how it will end.

0:32:48.247,0:32:48.997
(door shuts)

0:32:56.912,0:32:58.539
( knocking )

0:33:00.289,0:33:02.053
Fredrick: It's close to midnight, Lance.

0:33:03.401,0:33:05.521
Lance: Ok. I'll be down in a minute.

0:33:09.658,0:33:12.120
( knocks )

0:33:12.420,0:33:13.209
(Nora) Who is it?

0:33:13.209,0:33:15.629
Fredrick: Your host, my dear.

0:33:15.629,0:33:18.199
Fredrick: It's almost midnight, Nora.

0:33:18.199,0:33:20.621
We're all going to get together [br]down in the living room.

0:33:20.621,0:33:23.132
Nora: All right, Mr. Loren.[br]I'll be right down.

0:33:32.437,0:33:34.207
(shrill, dramatic music)

0:33:35.182,0:33:36.699
( recoils in disgust )

0:33:41.869,0:33:46.762
( gasping )

0:33:48.312,0:33:50.782
(single piano chord)

0:33:55.117,0:33:58.617
(single piano chord)

0:34:03.299,0:34:06.699
(single piano chord)

0:34:21.802,0:34:23.241
Jonas: Come with us.

0:34:23.241,0:34:25.240
Come with us, before he kills you!

0:34:25.240,0:34:27.399
( screams )

0:34:29.919,0:34:33.169
(clock ticking)

0:34:38.099,0:34:40.713
Lance: Where's Nora? Miss Manning?

0:34:44.248,0:34:45.358
(door slams)

0:34:46.223,0:34:48.212
Nora: I don't want to stay here!

0:34:48.212,0:34:50.158
Fredrick: Nora, what happened?

0:34:51.328,0:34:54.401
( creaking )

0:35:00.381,0:35:02.940
Fredrick: That's Jonas Slydes and his wife.

0:35:03.410,0:35:05.820
They've been caretakers here for years.

0:35:06.110,0:35:07.500
She's blind, you know.

0:35:08.000,0:35:10.060
Nora: I'm not going to stay here!

0:35:12.970,0:35:16.369
Fredrick: Doctor, it looks like we have [br]a real case of hysteria on our hands.

0:35:17.009,0:35:19.811
David: I think she's just a little upset, [br]not hysterical.

0:35:20.431,0:35:22.160
( door opening )

0:35:27.090,0:35:28.811
Annabelle: Good evening.

0:35:31.671,0:35:33.550
Fredrick: Hello, my dear.

0:35:34.230,0:35:37.509
This is my wife.[br]These are our guests...

0:35:38.199,0:35:39.661
(Fredrick) Ruth Bridgers,

0:35:39.661,0:35:41.010
(Fredrick) Doctor Trent,

0:35:41.010,0:35:42.650
(Fredrick) You know Watson Pritchard, [br]of course,

0:35:42.650,0:35:43.572
(Fredrick) Nora Manning,

0:35:43.572,0:35:46.789
(Fredrick) and this is Lance Schroeder.

0:35:53.079,0:35:55.255
Nora (whispering): Get me out of here!

0:35:55.255,0:35:56.450
Lance (whispering): What about the $10,000?

0:35:56.450,0:35:58.812
Nora (whispering): I don't care! [br]He wants to kill me!

0:35:58.812,0:36:00.520
Lance (whispering): Who wants to kill you?

0:36:00.520,0:36:02.308
Nora (whispering): Mister Loren.

0:36:02.308,0:36:03.408
(clock ticking)

0:36:03.408,0:36:05.158
Fredrick: May I have your attention, please?

0:36:05.158,0:36:06.609
Fredrick: I think you all remember

0:36:06.609,0:36:09.669
the bargain we made about [br]staying all night?

0:36:09.669,0:36:11.991
$10,000 a piece.

0:36:11.991,0:36:17.339
If any of you don't survive, $50,000 [br]will be divided amongst the rest of you.

0:36:17.999,0:36:19.872
Fredrick: If I should die...

0:36:24.022,0:36:26.311
...you will be paid [br]by my estate.

0:36:26.311,0:36:28.860
Fredrick: When the door is locked [br]from the outside by the caretakers,

0:36:28.860,0:36:31.499
we'll all be forced to stay in this house [br]until morning.

0:36:31.849,0:36:35.201
If any of you decide not to stay, [br]you must leave with the caretakers now.

0:36:35.781,0:36:38.350
You won't have a chance [br]to change your minds later,

0:36:39.190,0:36:41.309
because there'll be no way to get out.

0:36:41.309,0:36:42.938
- Nora: I don't want to stay![br]- Lance: Wait!

0:36:42.938,0:36:50.028
( wind whistles, chandelier clatters )

0:36:50.028,0:36:51.839
( loud bang )

0:36:53.059,0:36:57.879
(tense music)

0:37:00.959,0:37:02.719
(jiggles doorknob [br]forcefully)

0:37:07.399,0:37:09.540
Fredrick: It isn't midnight, yet! [br]Who told them they could leave?

0:37:09.540,0:37:10.950
Watson: They never leave before midnight.

0:37:10.950,0:37:12.761
Fredrick: They've gone, now.

0:37:13.751,0:37:16.459
Fredrick: I was going to ask you [br]whether you wanted to stay or not,

0:37:16.459,0:37:19.360
but it seems the caretakers [br]have made the decision for you.

0:37:19.360,0:37:22.150
Fredrick: We're all locked in, now.

0:37:22.150,0:37:23.600
Nora: But I don't want to stay!

0:37:23.600,0:37:26.699
Fredrick: I'm sorry, my dear.[br]But it's too late, now.

0:37:26.699,0:37:30.629
Annabelle: Darling, haven't you had enough [br]of this silly game?

0:37:30.629,0:37:34.029
Get some cars up here for these people, [br]and let them go home.

0:37:34.029,0:37:36.258
Annabelle: But pay them, first.

0:37:37.798,0:37:40.668
Fredrick: This is your party, remember?

0:37:42.758,0:37:46.150
Fredrick: In spite of my wife's faith [br]in my ability to do the impossible,

0:37:46.420,0:37:50.269
we will all have to stay in this house [br]until eight o'clock in the morning.

0:37:50.839,0:37:53.821
Fredrick: But, we have some party favors [br]for you...

0:37:54.181,0:37:56.220
In these little coffins.

0:38:00.780,0:38:03.359
(Fredrick) This is my wife's idea.

0:38:03.359,0:38:05.798
(Fredrick) I must say, I think it's rather [br]dangerous.

0:38:05.798,0:38:08.279
Fredrick: I suppose you all know [br]how to use one of these things.

0:38:08.279,0:38:10.059
Fredrick: In case you don't,

0:38:10.059,0:38:12.940
you just press down on this lever[br]with your thumb...

0:38:12.940,0:38:14.857
And then pull the trigger.

0:38:14.857,0:38:15.560
( loud bang )

0:38:15.560,0:38:16.600
(porcelain shatters)

0:38:18.800,0:38:21.459
Fredrick: You see? They're loaded.

0:38:22.899,0:38:24.312
Watson: These are no good [br]against the dead -

0:38:24.312,0:38:25.589
- only the living.

0:38:26.094,0:38:27.604
(foreboding music)

0:38:27.999,0:38:29.411
Fredrick: Doctor?

0:38:31.401,0:38:32.788
Fredrick: Lance?

0:38:34.843,0:38:35.863
(woodwind music)

0:38:35.863,0:38:37.120
Fredrick: Nora?

0:38:39.110,0:38:40.971
Lance: Go ahead. Take it.

0:38:44.721,0:38:46.429
Fredrick: Miss Bridgers?

0:38:51.099,0:38:52.686
Fredrick: And here's yours, dear.

0:38:52.686,0:38:53.960
Annabelle: I don't need it.

0:38:53.960,0:38:55.811
Fredrick: It was your idea.

0:38:55.811,0:38:59.641
Who knows, you may want to use it [br]on me before this night is over.

0:39:01.791,0:39:04.269
Watson: Throw these guns away.[br]They won't do you any good.

0:39:04.269,0:39:08.638
David: I agree with Pritchard, [br]although not for the same reason.

0:39:09.771,0:39:15.841
Annabelle: Dr. Trent, don't you approve [br]of our little party favors?

0:39:17.461,0:39:19.140
David: Suppose Nora had had a gun,

0:39:19.140,0:39:21.480
when she mistook the blind woman [br]for a ghost?

0:39:22.131,0:39:25.491
Ruth: I don't think anyone else [br]is going to walk around in total darkness.

0:39:26.011,0:39:28.341
Annabelle: Oh I'm sure we're not going to [br]go running around the house

0:39:28.341,0:39:30.472
shooting each other, aren't you?

0:39:30.682,0:39:34.193
David: Who knows? Fear makes people [br]do amazing things.

0:39:39.623,0:39:41.472
Nora: Mister Pritchard...

0:39:41.472,0:39:45.350
Nora: You said your sister-in-law killed [br]a man and a woman here and cut them up?

0:39:46.000,0:39:49.811
You said they found hands and feet, but [br]they never found any heads?!

0:39:49.811,0:39:52.501
Would you like to see one of those heads?!

0:39:52.501,0:39:54.920
Nora: Would you all like to see [br]one of those heads?!

0:39:54.920,0:39:56.968
Well then! Just follow me!

0:39:57.673,0:40:02.603
(mournful music)

0:40:47.241,0:40:48.901
Would you care for a sedative?

Lance: Look, Doc, I think somebody [br]ought to stay with her.

0:41:10.421,0:41:12.498
Watson: There could be a million people [br]around her -

0:41:12.498,0:41:15.071
- if they wanted her, they'd get her.

0:41:17.321,0:41:18.472
Annabelle: What if he's right?

0:41:18.472,0:41:20.540

0:41:20.540,0:41:22.481
Annabelle: I wonder...

0:41:22.481,0:41:24.888

0:41:40.862,0:41:45.319
Lance: Would you, sort of, stay up here? [br]In case she needs help?

0:41:45.319,0:41:47.131

0:42:09.960,0:42:12.421
Nor in frightening women.

0:51:38.200,0:51:40.904
Fredrick: You were the first one [br]to see my wife there.

0:51:40.904,0:51:44.121
(Fredrick) Did you also see anything that [br]she could've climbed up on,

0:51:44.121,0:51:45.461
(Fredrick) and then jumped?

0:51:45.461,0:51:47.201

0:51:47.201,0:51:48.879
Fredrick: Did any of you?

0:51:51.729,0:51:53.949
Fredrick: There was nothing.

0:51:54.239,0:51:57.622
How, then, did she get up there, so high?

0:51:57.622,0:51:59.891
David: Exactly, Mr. Loren. How?

0:51:59.891,0:52:01.601
She couldn't have pulled herself up there.

0:52:01.601,0:52:04.250
She couldn't have dropped [br]from the ceiling.

0:52:04.250,0:52:06.192
Do you think your wife killed herself?

0:52:07.202,0:52:10.250
Fredrick: No. She was murdered.

0:52:11.620,0:52:13.601
By one of you.

0:52:17.931,0:52:21.000
David: Or, you, Mr. Loren.

0:52:21.000,0:52:24.060
David: To deliberately kill someone, [br]you must have a reason.

0:52:24.060,0:52:26.250
Lance: We were all strangers to your wife.

0:52:26.250,0:52:28.849
(Lance) Only you had a motive for murder.

0:52:30.019,0:52:33.712
Fredrick: What husband hasn't, at some [br]time, wanted to kill his wife?

0:52:33.712,0:52:35.710
What husband hasn't had a thousand [br]opportunities

0:52:35.710,0:52:37.030
to do it in such a way

0:52:37.030,0:52:39.019
so that he'd never be suspected?

0:52:39.019,0:52:43.001
I'm not such a fool as to hang my wife [br]from the ceiling by a rope.

0:52:43.001,0:52:44.820
David: The fact remains that you, [br]or one of us,

0:52:44.820,0:52:46.441
murdered Mrs. Loren.

0:52:46.791,0:52:48.771
And that's a matter for the police.

0:52:48.771,0:52:50.621
Lance: So how do we get the police.

0:52:50.621,0:52:52.889
David: That's my point.[br]We can't until morning.

0:52:52.889,0:52:56.431
David: What began as a silly party, [br]given by an eccentric,

0:52:56.431,0:52:58.919
has now involved us all in murder.

0:52:58.919,0:53:00.870
Lance: For once, Pritchard may be right.

0:53:00.870,0:53:03.461
If another murder's in the works, [br]let's stop it now.

0:53:03.461,0:53:05.300
Ruth: Another murder?

0:53:05.300,0:53:08.241
Lance: Why not. [br]Maybe one of us saw too much.

0:53:11.751,0:53:15.089
David: Why should a millionaire want to [br]give each of us $10,000

0:53:15.089,0:53:17.219
to spend one night in a gloomy old house?

0:53:17.219,0:53:20.191
To see some ghosts? To have a party?

0:53:20.191,0:53:21.199
David: No!

0:53:24.692,0:53:26.541
Lance: Aw, this isn't getting us anywhere.

0:53:26.541,0:53:28.480
Somebody killed Mrs. Loren, [br]we know that.

0:53:28.480,0:53:30.913
