I'm Watson Pritchard.

In just a minute I'll show you the only
really haunted house in the world.

Since then, I've owned the house.

I've only spent one night there,

And I've rented the house 
on Haunted Hill tonight

00:01:44.601 --> 00:01:46.274
so that my wife can give a party.

00:01:46.592 --> 00:01:49.332

She's so amusing.

There will be food and drink and... 
ghosts.

00:01:56.137 --> 00:01:58.109
And perhaps even a few murders.

Ah, but here come our other guests.

00:02:16.495 --> 00:02:21.005
(Frederick) It was my wife's idea 
to have our guests come in funeral cars.

She's so amusing.

00:02:37.315 --> 00:02:39.608
This is Lance Schroeder, a test pilot.

So, no doubt a brave man.

00:02:42.424 --> 00:02:44.936
But don't you think you can be 
much braver if you're paid for it?

00:02:45.782 --> 00:02:47.251
And I happen to know that Lance

00:02:47.251 --> 00:02:49.583
needs the ten thousand I'll give him,

00:02:49.903 --> 00:02:52.349
if he's brave enough to stay all night.

00:02:52.700 --> 00:02:54.320
This is Ruth Bridgers.

00:02:54.430 --> 00:02:57.170
You've no doubt read her column
in the newspapers.

00:02:57.289 --> 00:02:59.330
She says her reason 
for coming to the party

00:02:59.330 --> 00:03:01.590
is to write a feature article on ghosts.

00:03:02.278 --> 00:03:05.608
She's also desperate for money. 
Gambles.

to spend another night here.

I wonder why.

00:03:17.485 --> 00:03:19.095
He says "for money".

00:03:21.189 --> 00:03:23.998
This is Dr. David Trent, a psychiatrist.

00:03:24.698 --> 00:03:27.888
He claims that my ghosts 
will help his work on hysteria.

00:03:28.901 --> 00:03:31.780
But don't you see 
a little touch of greed there

00:03:32.424 --> 00:03:34.621
around the mouth and eyes?

00:03:36.686 --> 00:03:38.404
This is Nora Manning.

I picked her from the thousands 
of people who work for me

00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:44.261
because she needed the ten thousand 
more than most.

took a swing at him,

00:12:58.616 --> 00:13:01.008
I'm your host, Fredrick Loren.

00:13:02.492 --> 00:13:05.514
Since we're all strangers to each other, 
let's get acquainted with a drink,

00:13:05.514 --> 00:13:06.514
shall we?

00:13:06.514 --> 00:13:10.961
Watson: Mr. Loren, I advise you to 
call this party off now.

00:13:11.146 --> 00:13:13.649
The ghosts are already moving 
and that's a bad sign.

00:13:13.942 --> 00:13:16.879
Fredrick: Let me apologize for my wife. 
She'll join us later.

00:13:16.890 --> 00:13:18.820
- What will you have?
- Ruth: Scotch and.

00:13:18.823 --> 00:13:20.931
- Doctor?
- David: I'll have the same.

00:13:20.966 --> 00:13:24.698
Fredrick: Now, before the party begins, 
let's go over the details.

00:13:24.698 --> 00:13:25.838
(pouring drinks)

00:13:25.838 --> 00:13:28.211
The caretakers will leave at midnight,

00:13:28.236 --> 00:13:31.143
locking us in here, 
until they come back in the morning.

00:13:31.682 --> 00:13:34.789
Once the door is locked, 
there is no way out.

00:13:35.357 --> 00:13:38.703
(Fredrick) The windows have bars
that a jail would be proud of.

00:13:39.446 --> 00:13:42.476
(Fredrick) And the only door 
to the outside locks like a vault.

00:13:42.816 --> 00:13:47.551
There's no electricity. No phone.
No one within miles.

00:13:48.468 --> 00:13:50.512
So, no way to call for help.

00:13:51.995 --> 00:13:53.358
Watson: Like a coffin.

00:13:53.358 --> 00:13:54.578
(stops pouring drink)

00:13:56.474 --> 00:13:58.248
Fredrick: So! If any of you 
decide not to stay for the party,

00:13:58.248 --> 00:13:59.248
(ice rattling)

00:13:59.248 --> 00:14:01.297
you must let me know before midnight.

00:14:01.708 --> 00:14:05.357
Of course, if you leave, I shan't be able 
to pay you anything.

00:14:06.110 --> 00:14:09.686
David: I'm interested in your reasons 
for this... "party."

00:14:10.707 --> 00:14:12.706
Aside from pleasant company.

00:14:14.407 --> 00:14:15.864
Fredrick: Ghosts, Doctor!

00:14:16.501 --> 00:14:19.011
I think everyone wonders 
what they would do

00:14:19.149 --> 00:14:20.864
if they saw a ghost.

00:14:23.410 --> 00:14:26.393
And now my wife has given us all
the opportunity to find out.

00:14:26.461 --> 00:14:27.626
David: Hm. Amusing.

00:14:27.642 --> 00:14:31.112
David: Ghosts, etcetera, being only 
creations of hysteria,

00:14:31.447 --> 00:14:33.689
your party should be a success!

00:14:34.275 --> 00:14:36.927
Fredrick: Pritchard here promises us 
genuine ghosts.

00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:40.834
Watson: Seven, now. Maybe more 
before morning.

00:14:41.998 --> 00:14:43.417
Fredrick: That's cheerful.

00:14:44.578 --> 00:14:47.000
Watson: Four men have been 
murdered in this house.

00:14:48.538 --> 00:14:49.525
And three women.

00:14:49.893 --> 00:14:52.361
David: You planned your party 
very well, Mr. Loren.

00:14:52.361 --> 00:14:54.154
Four of us are men. Three are women.

00:14:55.118 --> 00:14:56.401
A ghost for everybody.

00:14:57.808 --> 00:15:00.592
Fredrick: Pritchard, why don't you take 
us on a tour through the house?

00:15:00.592 --> 00:15:02.416
Let's see what happens?

00:15:12.224 --> 00:15:15.290
Watson: See that stain? Blood.

00:15:16.754 --> 00:15:19.129
Watson: A young girl was killed here.

00:15:19.999 --> 00:15:21.749
And whatever got her, wasn't human -

00:15:21.875 --> 00:15:24.356
- Don't stand there!
- Ruth: What do you mean? Where?

00:15:25.446 --> 00:15:28.286
(panicky music)

00:15:32.441 --> 00:15:35.041
(ominous music)

00:15:36.136 --> 00:15:37.381
Watson: It's too late. 
They've marked you.

00:15:38.035 --> 00:15:40.269
David: Ridiculous. The roof 
probably leaks.

00:15:40.512 --> 00:15:43.484
Ruth: That must be what it is. 
Who'd want to haunt me?

00:15:43.869 --> 00:15:46.205
Fredrick: I'd say any self-respecting 
male ghost.

00:15:46.643 --> 00:15:48.669
Watson: I hope it doesn't come back.

00:15:48.669 --> 00:15:50.967
David: Mr. Pritchard, you're the 
life of the party.

00:15:50.967 --> 00:15:52.471
Fredrick: He hasn't even started yet.

00:15:52.471 --> 00:15:55.855
Wasn't there a man who threw his wife 
into a wine vat or something?

00:15:56.215 --> 00:15:57.896
Watson: That was in the cellar.

00:15:57.966 --> 00:16:00.374
There's been a murder almost every 
place in this house.

00:16:00.374 --> 00:16:02.095
(door opens swiftly)

00:16:02.105 --> 00:16:05.705
(woeful music)

00:16:05.705 --> 00:16:09.415
(footsteps on stairs)

00:16:09.430 --> 00:16:15.380
(woeful music)

00:16:16.810 --> 00:16:21.413
Watson: All this belonged to a Mr. Norton, 
who didn't die here.

00:16:21.459 --> 00:16:24.682
He was electrocuted later.

00:16:25.971 --> 00:16:30.537
Watson: Mr. Norton did a good deal of 
experimenting with wines.

00:16:30.936 --> 00:16:33.880
But his wife didn't think 
it was any good.

00:16:34.628 --> 00:16:38.238
So he filled a vat with acid and 
threw her in.

00:16:38.541 --> 00:16:41.157
(Watson) She was supposed to stay down,

00:16:41.977 --> 00:16:44.017
but the bones came up.

00:16:45.217 --> 00:16:47.348
Watson: It's a funny thing.

00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:50.492
None of the murders here 
were just ordinary.

00:16:50.915 --> 00:16:53.971
Just shooting. Or stabbing.

00:16:55.495 --> 00:16:59.857
They've all been sort of wild. 
Violent, and different.

00:17:00.797 --> 00:17:01.567
(dramatic music)

00:17:01.567 --> 00:17:02.447
Lance: Look out!

00:17:02.447 --> 00:17:03.537
(woodwind music)

00:17:03.577 --> 00:17:05.887
Watson: Thank God she didn't fall in.

00:17:05.887 --> 00:17:08.346
Nora: You mean there's still acid
in there?

00:17:10.187 --> 00:17:13.777
(woodwind music)

00:17:26.089 --> 00:17:30.582
( violent bubbling )

00:17:30.980 --> 00:17:34.808
Watson: Destroys everything 
with hair and flesh.

00:17:35.429 --> 00:17:39.072
Just leaves the bones.

00:17:39.274 --> 00:17:40.874
(piano trill)

00:17:41.205 --> 00:17:43.345
(trumpeting)

00:17:44.681 --> 00:17:46.141
(quiet bubbling)

00:17:50.457 --> 00:17:53.538
Watson: My, it's dry and dusty 
down here.

00:17:54.515 --> 00:17:58.245
Fredrick: Well there's... a cure... 
for that...upstairs. Come on.

00:18:10.686 --> 00:18:11.946
(door shuts firmly)

00:18:11.948 --> 00:18:14.088
Lance: How'd you get invited 
to this party?

00:18:15.697 --> 00:18:16.697
(door quickly opens)

00:18:17.002 --> 00:18:18.002
(door quickly shuts)

00:18:18.307 --> 00:18:20.563
Lance: I mean, what'd he tell you?

00:18:24.070 --> 00:18:27.214
Nora: Mr. Loren said everybody 
would get $10,000.

00:18:27.773 --> 00:18:29.851
Lance: But he didn't say anything 
about being locked in.

00:18:30.104 --> 00:18:31.011
Nora: No.

00:18:31.713 --> 00:18:34.312
Lance: He just made the deal with me 
on the phone.

00:18:34.442 --> 00:18:36.483
But nothing about having to stay.

00:18:37.046 --> 00:18:39.017
Nora: Aren't you going to stay?

00:18:39.368 --> 00:18:41.626
Lance: If I don't, I lose $10,000.

00:18:44.139 --> 00:18:47.544
Nora: I'm going to stay, too. 
$10,000...

00:18:48.224 --> 00:18:50.694
Lance: Yes... Do you believe in 
ghosts?

00:18:52.169 --> 00:18:53.879
Nora: ( laughs) I don't know.

00:18:54.532 --> 00:18:57.171
Lance: Well, I agree with what 
that doc says.

00:18:57.171 --> 00:18:58.733
You can spook yourself.

00:18:58.733 --> 00:19:01.291
I've done it in planes. Seen things 
that weren't really there.

00:19:02.055 --> 00:19:03.876
Or, were they?
( laughing )

00:19:05.460 --> 00:19:07.595
Lance: What are you going to do 
with your $10,000?

00:19:07.595 --> 00:19:08.904
If we get it.

00:19:09.219 --> 00:19:10.843
Nora: What do you mean 
"if we get it?"

00:19:10.843 --> 00:19:13.057
Won't he pay us if we stay?

00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:15.615
Lance: Sure he will. $10,000 
is no more to him,

00:19:15.829 --> 00:19:17.328
than a nickel is to us.

00:19:17.741 --> 00:19:20.018
Nora: We were in an 
automobile accident.

00:19:20.371 --> 00:19:23.243
Now I'm the only one in the family 
who can make any money.

00:19:24.274 --> 00:19:26.663
Lance: Boy, I've never seen 
so many doors.

00:19:29.625 --> 00:19:30.995
(door clicks open)

00:19:33.588 --> 00:19:34.807
Closet...

00:19:35.025 --> 00:19:36.375
(door shuts)

00:19:36.749 --> 00:19:37.699
(brushes dust off)

00:19:45.904 --> 00:19:47.381
Bottles!

00:19:48.671 --> 00:19:50.001
(door gently shuts)

00:19:54.644 --> 00:19:55.704
(door clicks open)

00:20:03.448 --> 00:20:05.322
Nora: Does it go anywhere?

00:20:05.764 --> 00:20:07.187
( door creaks and slams )

00:20:07.187 --> 00:20:08.187

Nora: Lance!

Lance is gone and there's a ghost!

00:21:13.985 --> 00:21:17.211

Ruth: Gone where?

It's locked!

I must have - I must have 
bumped my head.

00:21:52.256 --> 00:21:55.138
David: The only way you could bump 
your head in here -

00:21:55.176 --> 00:21:56.862
- is to run head-on into the wall.

00:21:58.280 --> 00:22:00.885
David: You didn't do that, did you?

00:22:02.300 --> 00:22:03.706
Let's get a bandage on that.

they didn't kill him.

Ruth: Who?

Watson: He didn't bump his head.

00:22:19.588 --> 00:22:20.916
They hit him.

Nora: There was something.

00:22:47.558 --> 00:22:49.256
Fredrick: What did it look like?

00:22:49.828 --> 00:22:53.653
Nora: It was wearing a black thing 
that went all the way to the floor.

00:22:53.937 --> 00:22:56.523
David: Weren't you a little frightened 
at the time?

00:22:56.918 --> 00:22:58.254
Nora: Well, yes.

00:22:58.983 --> 00:23:01.751
David: That, Mr. Loren, is hysteria.

00:23:02.407 --> 00:23:05.565
Fredrick: Well, then, Doctor, how do you 
explain what happened to Lance?

00:23:05.565 --> 00:23:07.531
Was that hysteria, too?

00:23:10.228 --> 00:23:12.728

Mr. Loren.

ghosts, don't you Pritchard?

will, too.

Fredrick: Would you like a drink, 
Lance?

00:23:39.070 --> 00:23:41.473
Lance: No thanks.

Ruth: Mr. Loren, are you really going to 
pay anyone who stays all night?

00:23:53.339 --> 00:23:55.439

was in here when I came in.

But where?

If the door was locked, 
how did it get out?

What you saw might have 
been a ghost, Nora,

00:24:40.183 --> 00:24:42.324

was no ghost.

Lance: 3... 6.

00:25:28.259 --> 00:25:30.096
Lance: I'm going to knock on the 
other wall.

00:25:30.096 --> 00:25:32.479
When you hear me, you knock 
on this wall.

( solid knocks )

00:25:39.747 --> 00:25:41.502
(Lance) Tap lower down!

00:25:42.142 --> 00:25:44.630
( knocking with echoes )

00:25:47.110 --> 00:25:48.151
(dramatic music)

00:25:48.151 --> 00:25:50.268
( Nora screams in terror )

00:25:56.922 --> 00:25:59.820
( sobbing )

00:26:00.864 --> 00:26:03.524
Nora: Oh Lance! I saw it again!

00:26:13.536 --> 00:26:15.523
Lance: Where'd it come from?

00:26:15.705 --> 00:26:17.659
Nora: From in here!

00:26:22.826 --> 00:26:25.687
Lance: Well if it'd ran out of here - 
I'd have seen it.

00:26:25.990 --> 00:26:29.276
Nora: Lance, it doesn't run, 
it just floats!

00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:32.098
Lance: But why didn't I see it?

00:26:33.569 --> 00:26:35.486
Nora: You don't believe me!

00:26:35.699 --> 00:26:37.816
Lance (laughing): How can I?

00:26:55.483 --> 00:26:57.033
(eerie music)

00:26:57.150 --> 00:26:59.136
Annabelle: I'm Annabelle Loren.

00:26:59.221 --> 00:27:01.301
(eerie music)

00:27:02.507 --> 00:27:03.955
You must be Miss Manning.

00:27:04.578 --> 00:27:08.516
I realize this is a very unusual 
and, I'm afraid, very dull party.

00:27:08.827 --> 00:27:10.627
Wouldn't you like to freshen up?

00:27:22.146 --> 00:27:23.634
Annabelle: This is your room.

00:27:23.964 --> 00:27:25.386
Depressing, isn't it?

00:27:26.661 --> 00:27:29.397
Nora: I doubt if 
I'll spend much time here.

00:27:29.397 --> 00:27:33.902
Annabelle: It's going to rain. Perfect 
atmosphere for my husbands party.

00:27:36.864 --> 00:27:38.320
Why did you come here?

00:27:39.011 --> 00:27:40.931
Nora: He said he'd give me $10,000.

00:27:41.774 --> 00:27:43.519
Annabelle: Why did he pick you?

00:27:43.753 --> 00:27:47.679
Nora: I don't know. My supervisor just 
said I'd been invited.

00:27:51.708 --> 00:27:54.039
Annabelle: How long have you
known my husband?

00:27:54.308 --> 00:27:56.401
Nora: I just met him tonight.

00:27:56.946 --> 00:28:00.013
Annabelle: So... why you?

00:28:04.968 --> 00:28:07.452
What were you doing 
wandering around by yourself?

00:28:07.911 --> 00:28:14.428
Nora: I was in the cellar with Lance - 
Mr. Schroeder - I just left, that's all.

00:28:15.988 --> 00:28:17.529
Annabelle: Don't do it again.

00:28:18.486 --> 00:28:21.246
(Annabelle) Don't go anywhere in this 
house by yourself.

00:28:22.464 --> 00:28:25.381
Now fix your face and I'll come by 
for you in a few minutes.

00:28:25.666 --> 00:28:27.730
Nora: But I -
- Annabelle: You're in danger.

00:28:28.574 --> 00:28:29.796
We all are.

00:28:30.452 --> 00:28:31.396
Nora: But who?

00:28:32.484 --> 00:28:35.119
Annabelle: I hope, for your sake, 
you never find out.

00:28:50.437 --> 00:28:52.694
Annabelle: I'm Annabelle Loren. 
Were you looking for something?

00:28:52.694 --> 00:28:54.077
Lance: Not exactly.

00:28:54.077 --> 00:28:55.082
Annabelle: Are you the doctor?

00:28:55.082 --> 00:28:57.573
Lance: No. I'm Lance Schroeder.
- Annabelle: The pilot.

00:28:57.573 --> 00:28:58.785
You've hurt yourself.

00:28:58.785 --> 00:29:01.064
Lance: Oh, it's just 
a bump on the head.

00:29:01.064 --> 00:29:03.787
Which is my room?

00:29:03.787 --> 00:29:05.317
Annabelle: I believe this is it.

00:29:06.885 --> 00:29:08.085
Lance: Thank you, Mrs. Loren.

00:29:09.416 --> 00:29:12.026
Annabelle: Annabelle, Lance.

00:29:22.598 --> 00:29:24.470
Annabelle: You were with the young girl 
in the cellar.

00:29:24.470 --> 00:29:26.121
Why was she so upset?

00:29:26.121 --> 00:29:27.308
Lance: Was she?

00:29:27.308 --> 00:29:30.471
Annabelle: And you don't look like 
the type to go around bumping his head.

00:29:30.471 --> 00:29:32.131
What really happened, Lance?

00:29:32.131 --> 00:29:36.021
Lance: Nora thought she saw a ghost, 
but I didn't see anything.

00:29:36.021 --> 00:29:37.960
Annabelle: She was just 
frightened, then?

00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:40.480
Lance: And mad at me, I think. 
I kidded her about it.

00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:44.841
Annabelle: I wouldn't joke about anything 
else that happens here tonight.

00:29:44.841 --> 00:29:47.120
Lance: Now, don't tell me you're taking 
all of this seriously?

00:29:47.120 --> 00:29:48.900
Annabelle: Aren't you?

00:29:48.900 --> 00:29:51.970
Lance: Well, I'd like to find out 
what hit me.

00:29:51.970 --> 00:29:53.278
Annabelle: Lance...

00:29:56.388 --> 00:29:58.648
If I need help, may I count on you?

00:29:59.898 --> 00:30:01.959
Lance: Yes, sure. I guess so.

00:30:03.369 --> 00:30:05.649
Look - what's going on here, anyway?

00:30:05.649 --> 00:30:07.829
What's with this party business?

00:30:07.829 --> 00:30:09.794
Annabelle: This is no party, 
he's planning something.

00:30:09.794 --> 00:30:11.518
Lance: Your husband?

00:30:11.518 --> 00:30:13.435
Annabelle: I wish I knew what it was.

00:30:13.435 --> 00:30:16.303
Lance: It must be pretty big, 
if he's going to lay out $50,000.

00:30:16.303 --> 00:30:18.220
Annabelle: Money doesn't mean anything.

00:30:18.220 --> 00:30:21.842
He has a reason for getting us all 
up here to this dreadful old house.

00:30:22.092 --> 00:30:24.501
Lance: Well, what for? He doesn't 
even know us.

00:30:25.331 --> 00:30:27.189
Annabelle: Maybe that's exactly 
why you're here?

00:30:27.969 --> 00:30:30.740
Lance (scoffs): What can he get away with?

00:30:30.740 --> 00:30:33.941
Annabelle: Oh, he thinks that big money 
like his can get away with anything.

00:30:34.341 --> 00:30:36.281
You know, of course, that 
I'm his fourth wife.

00:30:37.461 --> 00:30:39.340
The first simply disappeared...

00:30:39.800 --> 00:30:41.080
The other two died.

00:30:42.030 --> 00:30:44.740
Lance, I don't want to join them.

00:30:47.300 --> 00:30:48.803
Lance: You mean, he, uh -

00:30:48.803 --> 00:30:51.170
Annabelle: Oh, his doctors said 
they died of heart attacks.

00:30:51.900 --> 00:30:55.302
Two girls, in their twenties.

00:30:56.382 --> 00:30:58.122
Lance: Well, what can he do?

00:30:58.582 --> 00:31:00.688
Annabelle: My husband is sometimes 
insane with jealousy.

00:31:00.688 --> 00:31:03.880
Nothing matters to him then. 
Please be careful.

00:31:04.430 --> 00:31:06.519
Lance: Would he hurt you?

00:31:08.479 --> 00:31:11.090
Annabelle: He would kill me 
if he could.

00:31:16.350 --> 00:31:17.960
(door shuts)

00:31:19.300 --> 00:31:21.610
(spooky music)

00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:26.890
(door quickly shuts)

00:31:32.570 --> 00:31:34.350
Fredrick: Annabelle, you're missing 
all the fun.

00:31:34.350 --> 00:31:35.280
(door shuts firmly)

00:31:35.280 --> 00:31:37.970
Nora Manning was almost killed 
by a falling chandelier.

00:31:37.970 --> 00:31:39.740
The pilot bashed his head in.

00:31:39.740 --> 00:31:41.462
Annabelle: Is he badly hurt?

00:31:41.462 --> 00:31:44.890
Fredrick: The saturnine psychiatrist 
bandaged him up.

00:31:44.890 --> 00:31:47.191
Don't you want to go 
and console him?

00:31:47.191 --> 00:31:51.502
As you do, most men, 
in your fashion.

00:31:51.502 --> 00:31:53.491
Annabelle: You're so clever, Fredrick.

00:31:53.491 --> 00:31:56.211
Fredrick: I lie awake nights, 
wondering why I married you.

00:31:56.211 --> 00:31:58.279
It was rather a mistake.

00:31:58.279 --> 00:32:00.093
Annabelle: You didn't marry me, dear.
I married you.

00:32:00.093 --> 00:32:03.131
Unpleasant, but no mistake.

00:32:03.131 --> 00:32:05.005
Fredrick: Hurry up!

00:32:05.005 --> 00:32:07.731
Annabelle: Fredrick, for the last time, 
I'm not going to your party.

00:32:07.731 --> 00:32:10.770
Fredrick: And, for the last time, 
it's not my party -

00:32:10.770 --> 00:32:12.850
- but yours.

00:32:12.850 --> 00:32:14.540
And you are going.

00:32:16.040 --> 00:32:17.421
Annabelle: I am not.

00:32:17.421 --> 00:32:19.461
Fredrick: Are you ready? 
- Annabelle: ... no ...

00:32:20.511 --> 00:32:23.951
Fredrick (forceful): Are you ready, dear?
- Annabelle: ... Yes, damn you!

00:32:24.911 --> 00:32:27.361
Fredrick: Would you adore me as much, 
if I were poor?

00:32:27.361 --> 00:32:31.360
(laughs) All you want to be 
is a lovely widow.

00:32:33.060 --> 00:32:35.912
It's almost time to lock up the house.

00:32:35.912 --> 00:32:38.270
And then your party will really begin.

00:32:39.290 --> 00:32:41.212
I wonder how it will end.

00:32:48.247 --> 00:32:48.997
(door shuts)

00:32:56.912 --> 00:32:58.539
( knocking )

00:33:00.289 --> 00:33:02.053
Fredrick: It's close to midnight, Lance.

00:33:03.401 --> 00:33:05.521
Lance: Ok. I'll be down in a minute.

00:33:09.658 --> 00:33:12.120
( knocks )

00:33:12.420 --> 00:33:13.209
(Nora) Who is it?

00:33:13.209 --> 00:33:15.629
Fredrick: Your host, my dear.

00:33:15.629 --> 00:33:18.199
Fredrick: It's almost midnight, Nora.

00:33:18.199 --> 00:33:20.621
We're all going to get together 
down in the living room.

00:33:20.621 --> 00:33:23.132
Nora: All right, Mr. Loren.
I'll be right down.

00:33:32.437 --> 00:33:34.207
(shrill, dramatic music)

00:33:35.182 --> 00:33:36.699
( recoils in disgust )

00:33:41.869 --> 00:33:46.762
( gasping )

00:33:48.312 --> 00:33:50.782
(single piano chord)

00:33:55.117 --> 00:33:58.617
(single piano chord)

00:34:03.299 --> 00:34:06.699
(single piano chord)

00:34:21.802 --> 00:34:23.241
Jonas: Come with us.

00:34:23.241 --> 00:34:25.240
Come with us, before he kills you!

00:34:25.240 --> 00:34:27.399
( screams )

00:34:29.919 --> 00:34:33.169
(clock ticking)

00:34:38.099 --> 00:34:40.713
Lance: Where's Nora? Miss Manning?

00:34:44.248 --> 00:34:45.358
(door slams)

00:34:46.223 --> 00:34:48.212
Nora: I don't want to stay here!

00:34:48.212 --> 00:34:50.158
Fredrick: Nora, what happened?

00:34:51.328 --> 00:34:54.401
( creaking )

00:35:00.381 --> 00:35:02.940
Fredrick: That's Jonas Slydes and his wife.

00:35:03.410 --> 00:35:05.820
They've been caretakers here for years.

00:35:06.110 --> 00:35:07.500
She's blind, you know.

00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:10.060
Nora: I'm not going to stay here!

00:35:12.970 --> 00:35:16.369
Fredrick: Doctor, it looks like we have 
a real case of hysteria on our hands.

00:35:17.009 --> 00:35:19.811
David: I think she's just a little upset, 
not hysterical.

00:35:20.431 --> 00:35:22.160
( door opening )

00:35:27.090 --> 00:35:28.811
Annabelle: Good evening.

00:35:31.671 --> 00:35:33.550
Fredrick: Hello, my dear.

00:35:34.230 --> 00:35:37.509
This is my wife.
These are our guests...

00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:39.661
(Fredrick) Ruth Bridgers,

00:35:39.661 --> 00:35:41.010
(Fredrick) Doctor Trent,

00:35:41.010 --> 00:35:42.650
(Fredrick) You know Watson Pritchard, 
of course,

00:35:42.650 --> 00:35:43.572
(Fredrick) Nora Manning,

00:35:43.572 --> 00:35:46.789
(Fredrick) and this is Lance Schroeder.

00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:55.255
Nora (whispering): Get me out of here!

00:35:55.255 --> 00:35:56.450
Lance (whispering): What about the $10,000?

00:35:56.450 --> 00:35:58.812
Nora (whispering): I don't care! 
He wants to kill me!

00:35:58.812 --> 00:36:00.520
Lance (whispering): Who wants to kill you?

00:36:00.520 --> 00:36:02.308
Nora (whispering): Mister Loren.

00:36:02.308 --> 00:36:03.408
(clock ticking)

00:36:03.408 --> 00:36:05.158
Fredrick: May I have your attention, please?

00:36:05.158 --> 00:36:06.609
Fredrick: I think you all remember

00:36:06.609 --> 00:36:09.669
the bargain we made about 
staying all night?

00:36:09.669 --> 00:36:11.991
$10,000 a piece.

00:36:11.991 --> 00:36:17.339
If any of you don't survive, $50,000 
will be divided amongst the rest of you.

00:36:17.999 --> 00:36:19.872
Fredrick: If I should die...

00:36:24.022 --> 00:36:26.311
...you will be paid 
by my estate.

00:36:26.311 --> 00:36:28.860
Fredrick: When the door is locked 
from the outside by the caretakers,

00:36:28.860 --> 00:36:31.499
we'll all be forced to stay in this house 
until morning.

00:36:31.849 --> 00:36:35.201
If any of you decide not to stay, 
you must leave with the caretakers now.

00:36:35.781 --> 00:36:38.350
You won't have a chance 
to change your minds later,

00:36:39.190 --> 00:36:41.309
because there'll be no way to get out.

00:36:41.309 --> 00:36:42.938
- Nora: I don't want to stay!
- Lance: Wait!

00:36:42.938 --> 00:36:50.028
( wind whistles, chandelier clatters )

00:36:50.028 --> 00:36:51.839
( loud bang )

00:36:53.059 --> 00:36:57.879
(tense music)

00:37:00.959 --> 00:37:02.719
(jiggles doorknob 
forcefully)

00:37:07.399 --> 00:37:09.540
Fredrick: It isn't midnight, yet! 
Who told them they could leave?

00:37:09.540 --> 00:37:10.950
Watson: They never leave before midnight.

00:37:10.950 --> 00:37:12.761
Fredrick: They've gone, now.

00:37:13.751 --> 00:37:16.459
Fredrick: I was going to ask you 
whether you wanted to stay or not,

00:37:16.459 --> 00:37:19.360
but it seems the caretakers 
have made the decision for you.

00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.150
Fredrick: We're all locked in, now.

00:37:22.150 --> 00:37:23.600
Nora: But I don't want to stay!

00:37:23.600 --> 00:37:26.699
Fredrick: I'm sorry, my dear.
But it's too late, now.

00:37:26.699 --> 00:37:30.629
Annabelle: Darling, haven't you had enough 
of this silly game?

00:37:30.629 --> 00:37:34.029
Get some cars up here for these people, 
and let them go home.

00:37:34.029 --> 00:37:36.258
Annabelle: But pay them, first.

00:37:37.798 --> 00:37:40.668
Fredrick: This is your party, remember?

00:37:42.758 --> 00:37:46.150
Fredrick: In spite of my wife's faith 
in my ability to do the impossible,

00:37:46.420 --> 00:37:50.269
we will all have to stay in this house 
until eight o'clock in the morning.

00:37:50.839 --> 00:37:53.821
Fredrick: But, we have some party favors 
for you...

00:37:54.181 --> 00:37:56.220
In these little coffins.

00:38:00.780 --> 00:38:03.359
(Fredrick) This is my wife's idea.

00:38:03.359 --> 00:38:05.798
(Fredrick) I must say, I think it's rather 
dangerous.

00:38:05.798 --> 00:38:08.279
Fredrick: I suppose you all know 
how to use one of these things.

00:38:08.279 --> 00:38:10.059
Fredrick: In case you don't,

00:38:10.059 --> 00:38:12.940
you just press down on this lever
with your thumb...

00:38:12.940 --> 00:38:14.857
And then pull the trigger.

00:38:14.857 --> 00:38:15.560
( loud bang )

00:38:15.560 --> 00:38:16.600
(porcelain shatters)

00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:21.459
Fredrick: You see? They're loaded.

00:38:22.899 --> 00:38:24.312
Watson: These are no good 
against the dead -

00:38:24.312 --> 00:38:25.589
- only the living.

00:38:26.094 --> 00:38:27.604
(foreboding music)

00:38:27.999 --> 00:38:29.411
Fredrick: Doctor?

00:38:31.401 --> 00:38:32.788
Fredrick: Lance?

00:38:34.843 --> 00:38:35.863
(woodwind music)

00:38:35.863 --> 00:38:37.120
Fredrick: Nora?

00:38:39.110 --> 00:38:40.971
Lance: Go ahead. Take it.

00:38:44.721 --> 00:38:46.429
Fredrick: Miss Bridgers?

00:38:51.099 --> 00:38:52.686
Fredrick: And here's yours, dear.

00:38:52.686 --> 00:38:53.960
Annabelle: I don't need it.

00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:55.811
Fredrick: It was your idea.

00:38:55.811 --> 00:38:59.641
Who knows, you may want to use it 
on me before this night is over.

00:39:01.791 --> 00:39:04.269
Watson: Throw these guns away.
They won't do you any good.

00:39:04.269 --> 00:39:08.638
David: I agree with Pritchard, 
although not for the same reason.

00:39:09.771 --> 00:39:15.841
Annabelle: Dr. Trent, don't you approve 
of our little party favors?

00:39:17.461 --> 00:39:19.140
David: Suppose Nora had had a gun,

00:39:19.140 --> 00:39:21.480
when she mistook the blind woman 
for a ghost?

00:39:22.131 --> 00:39:25.491
Ruth: I don't think anyone else 
is going to walk around in total darkness.

00:39:26.011 --> 00:39:28.341
Annabelle: Oh I'm sure we're not going to 
go running around the house

00:39:28.341 --> 00:39:30.472
shooting each other, aren't you?

00:39:30.682 --> 00:39:34.193
David: Who knows? Fear makes people 
do amazing things.

00:39:39.623 --> 00:39:41.472
Nora: Mister Pritchard...

00:39:41.472 --> 00:39:45.350
Nora: You said your sister-in-law killed 
a man and a woman here and cut them up?

00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:49.811
You said they found hands and feet, but 
they never found any heads?!

00:39:49.811 --> 00:39:52.501
Would you like to see one of those heads?!

00:39:52.501 --> 00:39:54.920
Nora: Would you all like to see 
one of those heads?!

00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:56.968
Well then! Just follow me!

00:39:57.673 --> 00:40:02.603
(mournful music)

00:40:05.698 --> 00:40:09.250
Annabelle: Darling, I really 
don't need this.

00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:28.231
Nora: Just, go look in my 
suitcase. Just go look.

00:40:41.221 --> 00:40:43.002
Nora: But it was in there!

00:40:43.002 --> 00:40:44.390
(Nora) A woman's head!

00:40:44.390 --> 00:40:46.891
David: Nora, I think you're 
a little upset.

00:40:47.241 --> 00:40:48.901
Would you care for a sedative?

00:40:48.901 --> 00:40:50.081
Nora: Get out!

00:40:50.081 --> 00:40:51.442
Get out, all of you!

00:40:51.442 --> 00:40:53.940
All of you, get out of here 
and leave me alone!

00:40:53.940 --> 00:40:55.940
Just get out of here!

00:40:56.460 --> 00:40:58.440
( crying )

00:40:58.440 --> 00:40:59.600
(door shuts firmly)

00:40:59.990 --> 00:41:02.730
Fredrick: Do you think it's all right 
to leave her by herself, Doctor?

00:41:02.990 --> 00:41:04.950
David: I wish she'd taken the sedative.

00:41:04.950 --> 00:41:07.080
Ruth: What do you suppose 
she thought she saw?

00:41:07.080 --> 00:41:08.610
Watson: They're closing in on her.

00:41:08.610 --> 00:41:10.421
Lance: Look, Doc, I think somebody 
ought to stay with her.

00:41:10.421 --> 00:41:12.498
Watson: There could be a million people 
around her -

00:41:12.498 --> 00:41:15.071
- if they wanted her, they'd get her.

00:41:17.321 --> 00:41:18.472
Annabelle: What if he's right?

00:41:18.472 --> 00:41:20.540
Fredrick: He's too drunk to know 
what he's talking about.

00:41:20.540 --> 00:41:22.481
Annabelle: I wonder...

00:41:22.481 --> 00:41:24.888
Annabelle: I'll join you in a minute.

00:41:27.098 --> 00:41:28.138
(door shuts quietly)

00:41:28.668 --> 00:41:32.570
Lance: Do you think it would do any good 
if you went in and talked to her?

00:41:33.130 --> 00:41:36.153
Ruth: Do you think there really was a 
head in her suitcase?

00:41:36.713 --> 00:41:37.982
Lance: I don't know...

00:41:37.982 --> 00:41:40.862
Ruth: A thing like that would put me 
right over the edge.

00:41:40.862 --> 00:41:45.319
Lance: Would you, sort of, stay up here? 
In case she needs help?

00:41:45.319 --> 00:41:47.131
Ruth: All right. I'll be in my room.

00:41:47.871 --> 00:41:48.911
Just call us.

00:41:50.001 --> 00:41:51.159

David: Are you sure there are only seven 
people in this house?

00:42:04.901 --> 00:42:07.802
Fredrick: Positive... 
Except for the ghosts.

00:42:07.802 --> 00:42:09.960
David: I don't believe in ghosts.

00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:12.421
Nor in frightening women.

00:42:12.421 --> 00:42:15.791
In Nora's case, it's gone far enough.
Perhaps, too far.

00:42:15.791 --> 00:42:18.686
Fredrick: What do you suggest 
we do about it, doctor?

00:42:18.686 --> 00:42:20.612

any more.

you'd better tell me, now!

we can get out of this house now?

00:50:46.532 --> 00:50:48.319
David: But I am afraid.

00:50:49.709 --> 00:50:51.151
David: When we came here a few hours ago,

00:50:51.151 --> 00:50:53.782
the only thing we had in common 
was the $10,000 we'd get.

00:50:54.712 --> 00:50:57.020
David: Now, however, we share 
something else -

00:50:57.630 --> 00:50:59.591
- the death of Mrs. Loren.

00:51:00.381 --> 00:51:05.751
David: So far, tonight, one of us was 
almost killed by a falling chandelier.

00:51:06.981 --> 00:51:09.892
David: One of us was mysteriously slugged.

00:51:09.892 --> 00:51:13.160
David: One of us has been driven to 
the brink of absolute hysteria.

00:51:14.380 --> 00:51:16.589
David: And one of us is dead.

00:51:17.549 --> 00:51:20.791
David: Were these accidents?
Suicide?

00:51:21.731 --> 00:51:24.012
David: And we must stay here 
for six more hours!

00:51:24.012 --> 00:51:30.262
Watson: Six hours? Six of us...
Time enough.

00:51:31.102 --> 00:51:32.951
David: Who'll be next?

00:51:32.951 --> 00:51:34.751
(David) How will it happen?

00:51:35.461 --> 00:51:38.200
Fredrick: Let me ask you a question, 
Doctor.

00:51:38.200 --> 00:51:40.904
Fredrick: You were the first one 
to see my wife there.

00:51:40.904 --> 00:51:44.121
(Fredrick) Did you also see anything that 
she could've climbed up on,

00:51:44.121 --> 00:51:45.461
(Fredrick) and then jumped?

00:51:45.461 --> 00:51:47.201
David: No.

00:51:47.201 --> 00:51:48.879
Fredrick: Did any of you?

00:51:51.729 --> 00:51:53.949
Fredrick: There was nothing.

00:51:54.239 --> 00:51:57.622
How, then, did she get up there, so high?

00:51:57.622 --> 00:51:59.891
David: Exactly, Mr. Loren. How?

00:51:59.891 --> 00:52:01.601
She couldn't have pulled herself up there.

00:52:01.601 --> 00:52:04.250
She couldn't have dropped 
from the ceiling.

00:52:04.250 --> 00:52:06.192
Do you think your wife killed herself?

00:52:07.202 --> 00:52:10.250
Fredrick: No. She was murdered.

00:52:11.620 --> 00:52:13.601
By one of you.

00:52:17.931 --> 00:52:21.000
David: Or, you, Mr. Loren.

00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:24.060
David: To deliberately kill someone, 
you must have a reason.

00:52:24.060 --> 00:52:26.250
Lance: We were all strangers to your wife.

00:52:26.250 --> 00:52:28.849
(Lance) Only you had a motive for murder.

00:52:30.019 --> 00:52:33.712
Fredrick: What husband hasn't, at some 
time, wanted to kill his wife?

00:52:33.712 --> 00:52:35.710
What husband hasn't had a thousand 
opportunities

00:52:35.710 --> 00:52:37.030
to do it in such a way

00:52:37.030 --> 00:52:39.019
so that he'd never be suspected?

00:52:39.019 --> 00:52:43.001
I'm not such a fool as to hang my wife 
from the ceiling by a rope.

00:52:43.001 --> 00:52:44.820
David: The fact remains that you, 
or one of us,

00:52:44.820 --> 00:52:46.441
murdered Mrs. Loren.

00:52:46.791 --> 00:52:48.771
And that's a matter for the police.

00:52:48.771 --> 00:52:50.621
Lance: So how do we get the police.

00:52:50.621 --> 00:52:52.889
David: That's my point.
We can't until morning.

00:52:52.889 --> 00:52:56.431
David: What began as a silly party, 
given by an eccentric,

00:52:56.431 --> 00:52:58.919
has now involved us all in murder.

00:52:58.919 --> 00:53:00.870
Lance: For once, Pritchard may be right.

00:53:00.870 --> 00:53:03.461
If another murder's in the works, 
let's stop it now.

00:53:03.461 --> 00:53:05.300
Ruth: Another murder?

00:53:05.300 --> 00:53:08.241
Lance: Why not. 
Maybe one of us saw too much.

00:53:11.751 --> 00:53:15.089
David: Why should a millionaire want to 
give each of us $10,000

00:53:15.089 --> 00:53:17.219
to spend one night in a gloomy old house?

00:53:17.219 --> 00:53:20.191
To see some ghosts? To have a party?

00:53:20.191 --> 00:53:21.199
David: No!

00:53:21.199 --> 00:53:22.841
Fredrick: Have you finished trying me, 
Doctor?

00:53:22.841 --> 00:53:24.692
And is the verdict "guilty of murder"?

00:53:24.692 --> 00:53:26.541
Lance: Aw, this isn't getting us anywhere.

00:53:26.541 --> 00:53:28.480
Somebody killed Mrs. Loren, 
we know that.

00:53:28.480 --> 00:53:30.913
One of us is guilty, 
and the rest of us are innocent.

00:53:30.913 --> 00:53:33.581
Ok. Now, what we have to do 
for the next six hours

00:53:33.581 --> 00:53:36.272
is protect ourselves.
From each other.

00:53:37.152 --> 00:53:40.070
Ruth: You really think -
Lance: I don't think anything.

00:53:40.070 --> 00:53:42.011
I just know that I'm going to my room.

00:53:42.011 --> 00:53:45.571
And if anybody comes in, I'll shoot him.
Or her.

00:53:45.951 --> 00:53:48.411
David: And if we all stay in our rooms, 
we'll be safe.

00:53:48.411 --> 00:53:51.492
Because the innocent will have 
no reason to leave his room.

00:53:51.502 --> 00:53:54.482
And the guilty will admit his guilt 
if he or she does.

00:53:54.482 --> 00:53:56.073
Lance: And we all have guns.

00:53:56.073 --> 00:53:57.719
Fredrick: Then we're all agreed?

00:53:58.299 --> 00:54:00.721
Ruth: Oh, I wish this night were over.

00:54:03.651 --> 00:54:09.241
Watson: Rooms. Guns. I tell you, 
it doesn't make any difference.

00:54:09.241 --> 00:54:12.171
They aren't through with us yet.

After you appeared at the window,

01:05:10.861 --> 01:05:12.952
everything began to work 
just as we had planned.

01:05:12.952 --> 01:05:14.283
David: You were wonderful!

01:05:14.283 --> 01:05:15.541
Just the touch the finally drove her

01:05:15.541 --> 01:05:17.612
into complete hysteria!

01:05:17.612 --> 01:05:20.571
Annabelle: It'll be worth 
all of our planning, darling.

01:05:20.571 --> 01:05:23.161
Where's Nora now? 
What's happening?

01:05:23.161 --> 01:05:24.632
David: On her way to the cellar.

01:05:24.632 --> 01:05:26.482
So scared, 
she'll shoot the first thing that moves.

01:05:26.482 --> 01:05:28.605
Annabelle: And Fredrick?

01:05:28.605 --> 01:05:31.739
David: On his way to the cellar, too.

01:05:31.739 --> 01:05:34.102
Annabelle: David, are you sure 
none of them will suspect us?

01:05:34.102 --> 01:05:35.444
David: Of what?

01:05:35.444 --> 01:05:37.873
A hysterical girl accidentally shoots somebody?

01:05:37.873 --> 01:05:39.161
Who would suspect 
that we planned it that way?

01:05:39.161 --> 01:05:40.502
That we drove her to it?

01:05:40.502 --> 01:05:42.123
Annabelle: What about my suicide?

01:05:42.123 --> 01:05:43.853
David: Just a ghost-party gag.

01:05:43.853 --> 01:05:46.061
We'll claim it was a dummy, 
since I'm the only one that touched you.

01:05:46.061 --> 01:05:47.582
Annabelle: And the caretakers?

01:05:47.582 --> 01:05:50.534
David: Well, they had no idea 
what they were really doing.

01:05:50.534 --> 01:05:52.390
Annabelle: What about Nora? 
She's not stupid, you know.

01:05:52.390 --> 01:05:53.602
David: Darling, believe me.

01:05:53.602 --> 01:05:56.002
Everything we planned is working perfectly.

01:05:56.002 --> 01:05:57.921
Nora is sure Fredrick murdered you.

01:05:57.921 --> 01:06:00.571
She thinks Fredrick attacked her 
in the cellar - not me.

01:06:00.571 --> 01:06:02.941
Now Nora's almost out of her mind 
with fear.

01:06:02.941 --> 01:06:04.541
The heads, the music, your hanging -

01:06:04.541 --> 01:06:06.584
I tell you, when Fredrick walks in there, 
she'll shoot him.

01:06:06.584 --> 01:06:09.521
Annabelle: It's taking too long.

01:06:09.521 --> 01:06:11.731
David, you ought to be there.

01:06:11.731 --> 01:06:33.222

come down to the cellar.
