00:29 Hey guys.
00:30 Hey.
00:31 Hey, babe.
00:32 Yeah.
00:33 Hey, what's the rush, Slick?
00:36 Betty Ann's up tonight.
00:38 [groans]
00:40 I told him Betty Ann tells really weird stories,
00:43 and he's been looking forward to it ever since.
00:46 Ooh, pressure's on.
00:48 This better be good.
00:49 I'll see what I can do.
00:51 [music]
01:00 A doll?
01:01 You're telling a doll story?
01:03 Weak.
01:05 Siesta time, man.
01:07 Wake me up if it gets good.
01:11 Come on, Tuck.
01:13 It's okay.
01:14 Let him sleep.
01:15 [music]
01:19 Most people think dolls are just toys,
01:23 but they're really like perfect little people.
01:27 Sometimes they're so lifelike that it's almost as if
01:32 the doll maker took a person and shrunk them down to doll size.
01:38 But that's not how dolls are really made.
01:42 Or is it?
01:44 [music]
01:53 Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society,
01:57 I call this story...
02:02 The Tale of the Doll Maker.
02:07 [music]
02:18 Ever since she could remember, Melissa spent weekends
02:21 now and then at her aunt and uncle's house in the country.
02:24 For the first few visits, it was pretty much a total drag.
02:28 But then the Hendersons moved in next door.
02:30 Even though they only saw each other a few times each year,
02:34 Melissa and Susan Henderson quickly became best friends.
02:38 Where's Susan?
02:40 I thought she'd be here waiting for me.
02:42 You told her when I was coming, didn't you?
02:45 I'm sorry, Melissa, but the Hendersons moved back to town
02:50 early this spring.
02:52 But why?
02:53 They love this place.
02:55 Well, but--
02:57 We don't exactly know why, hon.
03:00 Come on.
03:02 Let's get you settled in.
03:03 You must be famished.
03:05 [music]
03:18 No, Mom, the troop was fine, but the Hendersons have moved.
03:25 Susan Henderson, remember?
03:28 We hung out all the time.
03:31 Now I've got nothing to do all weekend.
03:35 Aunt Sally and Uncle Pete don't even have cable.
03:39 Okay, okay.
03:41 I love you, too.
03:42 Yeah, bye.
03:44 Bye.
03:45 Bye.
03:48 Hurry up, sweetie.
03:49 We don't want to be late for bingo.
03:52 Bingo.
03:54 [music]
04:04 Hey, Melissa, I got some work to do on the septic tank.
04:10 Want to lend a hand?
04:12 Septic tank?
04:13 Gee, sounds like fun, but no thanks.
04:18 Suit yourself.
04:20 [music]
04:30 [music]
04:40 [music]
04:50 [music]
05:00 [music]
05:09 Hello?
05:11 Anybody here?
05:16 Hello?
05:18 [music]
05:29 Hello?
05:31 Anybody up there?
05:36 Hello?
05:39 Anybody here?
05:43 Hello?
05:45 [music]
05:54 Anybody here?
05:56 Hello?
05:58 [music]
06:18 Oh, cool.
06:20 [music]
06:39 Oh, wow.
06:41 [music]
07:08 [music]
07:18 Oh, probably just a mouse.
07:20 [coughing]
07:30 [music]
07:48 Melissa?
07:51 I really don't think he should be snooping around up here.
07:54 Now, come on.
07:55 I'm not snooping around.
07:57 The front door was unlocked, so I just--
08:01 I thought maybe Susan had come back.
08:05 What on earth would make you think that?
08:08 I saw someone in the window.
08:11 Oh.
08:13 You probably saw me.
08:15 Now, come on.
08:19 Come on.
08:30 Now, I want you to give me your word that you won't ever come over here again.
08:35 Why not?
08:37 Because the Hendersons asked us to watch over the place,
08:40 and it's not a responsibility I take lightly.
08:44 They left a lot of precious things behind.
08:47 Like what?
08:48 A bunch of old furniture and stuff?
08:50 Well, that dollhouse alone must be worth a fortune.
08:55 It's nothing for a child to play with.
08:58 Can I have the dollhouse, please?
09:00 Give me a break.
09:01 Oh, Melissa, I don't know.
09:03 It's just that I'd rather you kept away after what happened.
09:07 After what?
09:08 What happened?
09:10 Aunt Sally, what happened?
09:13 Aunt Sally?
09:16 I suppose you had to find out sooner or later.
09:28 Melissa, the Hendersons didn't just move away.
09:33 Last winter, Susan disappeared.
09:39 What do you mean disappeared?
09:42 No one knows what happened to her.
09:46 One minute she was there, the next she was gone.
09:53 The whole town came out.
09:57 We searched everywhere.
10:01 Her parents were heartbroken.
10:05 They wanted to stay in case she came back, but in the end,
10:10 they couldn't stand to live in that house any longer.
10:15 Too many memories.
10:19 They're keeping it, though, just in case she ever comes back.
10:27 Come on, sweetie.
10:29 Let's go in.
10:32 [music]
10:38 You shouldn't have lied to her about the Henderson rule
10:59 in the first place.
11:00 I didn't want to ruin her weekend.
11:03 You didn't tell her what Marge Henderson said about the house,
11:06 did you?
11:07 Shh.
11:08 She might hear you.
11:09 No, of course not.
11:11 Anyway, Marge was beside herself with grief.
11:14 She didn't know what she was saying.
11:15 Maybe not, but she said it pretty clearly.
11:18 It was the house that got her.
11:20 That's what she said.

14:01 [music]
14:07 What was that?
14:08 [music]
14:12 Susan!
14:13 [music]
14:15 Melissa?
14:16 [music]
14:19 Susan, you're going the wrong way!
14:22 [music]
14:24 Melissa?
14:25 [music]
14:27 No!
14:28 [scream]
14:30 Uncle Pete!
14:31 Melissa, are you all right?
14:33 Yes, but it's Susan.
14:35 She's still here in the house.
14:37 Melissa.
14:38 Please, let me go.
14:40 I saw her.
14:41 Melissa, listen to me.
14:43 Come here.
14:44 [music]
14:47 Look.
14:48 [music]
14:55 [music]
14:58 [music]
15:10 [music]
15:17 Lord knows why that door was ever up there in the first place.
15:21 They should have boarded it up long ago.
15:24 I'm sure I saw her.
15:26 At the end of a long corridor, there was this weird light.
15:30 Honey, I know finding out about Susan was a shock.
15:37 I wasn't dreaming or sleepwalking.
15:41 It was as real as--
15:43 [footsteps]
15:47 If Uncle Pete boards up that door,
15:50 Susan will never be able to get out.
15:52 Melissa, listen to what you're saying.
15:56 What on earth would she be doing in the attic after all this time?
16:00 I don't know.
16:02 [music]
16:12 [music]
16:22 [music]
16:32 [music]

17:02 [music]
17:12 [music]
17:22 [music]
17:32 [music]
17:42 [music]
17:57 Susan? Susan, are you in here?
18:01 [music]
18:11 [music]
18:21 [music]
18:31 [music]
18:35 Susan, where are you?
18:38 [music]
18:48 Susan?
18:51 [music]
19:01 [music]
19:11 [music]
19:21 [music]
19:28 Oh my God, the dollhouse.
19:31 I'm in the dollhouse.
19:33 [music]
19:39 Aunt Sally?
19:44 Aunt Sally, back here in the dollhouse.
19:50 Please, no, wait in the dollhouse.
19:54 It's no use. She can't hear you.
20:02 Susan?
20:04 I knew you'd come.
20:06 What's wrong with you? You look just like...
20:10 a doll.
20:12 But how? What's happened to you?
20:18 You've turned into a doll.
20:21 The dollhouse did this to you?
20:25 Okay, look, you sit here. I'll be right back.
20:29 It's the attic.
20:33 Yes, I'm going to take you back to the attic.
20:38 The attic?
20:40 Yes, the attic. Don't worry, everything's going to be all right.
20:45 [music]
20:54 Oh my God, the door. It was right here.
20:58 [music]
21:02 My hands.
21:06 There's got to be another way out of here.
21:09 Two doors on this side, one on the other.
21:12 Stairs over there.
21:14 Just like Susan's house.
21:19 Okay, that means there should be a closet right here
21:23 with a ladder leading up to the... to the attic.
21:27 That's what she meant. Not the real attic, the dollhouse attic.
21:32 [music]
21:43 The bureau, right? We've got to move it to get to the attic.
21:49 The bureau's too big. You've got to help me.
21:52 I can't.
21:54 We have to. If we don't move that bureau, we can't ever get out of here.
21:59 [music]
22:08 I'll try again.
22:10 [music]
22:20 Yes.
22:24 Yes!
22:26 [music]
22:52 There it is, in exactly the same place.
22:56 Okay, here we go.
22:58 [music]
23:04 Okay, nice and easy.
23:07 [music]
23:13 Oops.
23:15 [music]
23:20 Susan, can you hear me?
23:23 No.
23:27 Don't worry. Just a couple more seconds and everything will be okay.
23:32 [music]
23:45 That's impossible. The dollhouse is in their attic, not outside.
23:50 This has to be it.
23:53 [music]
24:17 Ready?
24:19 [music]
24:27 Okay.
24:31 Here goes nothing.
24:33 [music]
24:41 It's my fault.
24:43 It's not your fault. Don't go overreacting. I'm sure she'll turn up safe and sound.
24:50 It's the same as Susan.
24:53 Exactly the same.
24:55 It was someone else who broke into the house.
24:59 For all we know, Melissa could be out going for a walk.
25:04 [music]
25:07 Oh, Peter.
25:10 Look.
25:16 Aunt Sally. Aunt Sally. Uncle Pete.
25:21 Melissa.
25:24 Oh.
25:28 I was so worried you disappeared, just like Susan.
25:33 I did.
25:34 What do you mean, sweetheart?
25:36 I disappeared, just like Susan, and I found her.
25:40 What are you saying?
25:41 Look.
25:43 [music]
26:03 Come on.
26:07 That very night, Melissa's uncle burned the dollhouse in a big bonfire in the backyard.
26:15 As it went up in flames, Melissa wondered where the door in the Hendersons' attic would lead,
26:22 now that there was no dollhouse left.
26:26 The end.
26:28 Yeah.
26:30 I don't know what it'd lead to.
26:33 Oh? You awake?
26:36 Yeah, yeah. Not bad for a doll story.
26:42 I declare this meeting of the Midnight Society closed.
26:46 Good night, everybody.
26:50 [music]
26:57 You forgot your doll.
27:00 This thing looks just like you.
27:07 Where'd you get that?
27:11 That's a whole 'nother story.
27:16 [music]
