00:03:30The American Pronunciation Guide Presents
00:03:35on a proven charge of vampirism.
00:03:37And on this same day, there did occur
00:03:39the departure of the bats, thousands
00:03:42of horrible flying creatures which
00:03:44infested the town for weeks.
00:03:46And on the night of this same day,
00:03:47February 13, in the year of our Lord, 1643,
00:03:51was their estate driven through von Hausmann's heart
00:03:55and his head cut off with a grave digger's shovel.
00:03:58There.
00:03:59Well, all the records in the world
00:04:00can't make me believe in vampires.
00:04:03There are bloodsucking bats, yes, in South America,
00:04:06thousands of miles from here, but not in Kleinschloss.
00:04:09But bats fly.
00:04:11They could fly here.
00:04:12You saw the bodies, all of them.
00:04:15Two wounds on the neck, right at the jugular vein.
00:04:18Two wounds on the neck, pierced and spread apart
00:04:20just as if two fang-like teeth had bitten through the flesh
00:04:24and right into the veins.
00:04:26And in every case, a blood clot eight inches
00:04:31from the victim's neck.
00:04:32The mark of the feast, the devil's signature.
00:04:36Does that appear as a mark of a human being or a demon's?
00:04:41God save us, the devils.
00:04:45You ought to make a pretty fair meal for a vampire.
00:04:48But let's be consistent.
00:04:50Are these human vampires or bats?
00:04:54Vampires can take the shape of a human or a bat,
00:04:57just as they choose.
00:04:58Oh, they're magicians.
00:05:02Well, it doesn't make sense to me.
00:05:04The whole village is in terror.
00:05:06We live in closed houses, behind locked doors
00:05:09and bolted shutters, not daring to close our eyes,
00:05:13fearful lest this unseen, silent death
00:05:16may find us in our sleep.
00:05:17For it is then that it strikes, swiftly, silently, ghastly.
00:05:22My room is tightly closed.
00:05:25The windows are barred, nailed down.
00:05:27Nothing can get in, nothing.
00:05:31But they tell me vampires can go
00:05:32through stone walls like that.
00:05:35God save me, so they can.
00:05:37We've got to do something, I tell you.
00:05:40Kleinschloss will become a deserted village.
00:05:43Well, you might catch all the bats
00:05:45and drown them in the river.
00:05:46Carl, Carl.
00:05:47While you are hunting for vampires and chasing bats,
00:05:49I'm looking for a human being, a murderer, a fiend.
00:05:52Well, then, don't jest about it.
00:05:53Do something.
00:05:54I'm trying to.
00:05:56Every hour, every day, every night
00:05:57since this thing started.
00:06:01Do you hear it?
00:06:03Hear it?
00:06:04Yes.
00:06:06Night after night, lying awake until dawn, waiting.
00:06:11For what?
00:06:13I don't know.
00:06:15That's what I thought.
00:06:20Good night, gentlemen.
00:06:22Don't let the vampires get you.
00:06:31Good night.
00:07:01Are your kisses dynamite?
00:07:04Don't you like my kisses?
00:07:05Mm-hmm.
00:07:11Well, how's my mastermind this evening?
00:07:14Well, if you want the truth, not so good.
00:07:17The Burgermeister and his grand council
00:07:19still stick to the vampire theory.
00:07:20Still stick to the vampire theory?
00:07:22Well, I'm not sure I'm going to like it.
00:07:24I'm not going to like it.
00:07:25I'm not going to like it.
00:07:26I'm not going to like it.
00:07:27I'm not going to like it.
00:07:28I'm not going to like it.
00:07:29I'm not going to like it.
00:07:30Do you like the vampire theory?
00:07:31Stick to it.
00:07:32Huh, they're quoting history to prove it.
00:07:36I think you and Dr. von Niemann are the only sane people
00:07:38left in the village.
00:07:39And you, what about you?
00:07:40Hmm, me?
00:07:41Well, I'm beginning to think I'm
00:07:43seven different kinds of a fool.
00:07:46Murders are being done under my very nose.
00:07:49I must be as blind as the bats themselves.
00:07:52I can't find a single clue.
00:07:54Oh, but you will, Carl.
00:07:55You will.
00:07:56Well, I haven't.
00:07:57Oh, Ruth!
00:08:00And here comes dear Aunt Gussie, to spread good cheer and hope.
00:08:05Just what I thought, slaving your life away in this awful place.
00:08:09It hasn't got that nice, clean, wholesome smell of a hospital.
00:08:13How are you, Carl?
00:08:14Oh, quite well, thank you.
00:08:15Well, I'm not.
00:08:16This clammy old place is bound to give me pericarditis,
00:08:19enterocarditis, neuritis, this...
00:08:22Well, anyway, rheumatism.
00:08:23Do you have some coffee?
00:08:24No, no, thank you, Professor Zambon.
00:08:26No, it's just as well.
00:08:27There's only two cups.
00:08:28Here, dear.
00:08:29That'll take the chill out of your bones.
00:08:30Thank you.
00:08:31Speaking of chills, Frau Schnappen,
00:08:33did you know the village is supposed to be infested with ghouls and vampires?
00:08:37How?
00:08:38Vampires.
00:08:39Pariahs among fiends,
00:08:42demoniacal creatures with huge canine teeth
00:08:45who bite deeply into the necks of their victims
00:08:48to quaff and gorge on blood, warm human blood.
00:08:53There's no such thing as a vampire, Carl Brett Snyder.
00:08:55I don't believe you.
00:08:56You're just saying that to frighten me.
00:08:58Well, I just won't be frightened.
00:09:00I'm entirely too sensible to believe in such rubbish.
00:09:03I beg your pardon.
00:09:04Oh, so it's you.
00:09:06I'm sorry if I frightened you.
00:09:08Who said you frightened me?
00:09:10I'm not afraid of anything.
00:09:11Could you tell me where Dr. von Niemann is?
00:09:13He drove to the village to see Martha, the old apple woman.
00:09:16Thank you.
00:09:26Thank you.
00:09:47Is this what Dr. Haupt prescribed?
00:09:49Yes, sir.
00:09:50She takes it in water.
00:09:53Well, continue getting your job.
00:09:56Yes, sir.
00:10:23It's stifling in here.
00:10:25Open these windows.
00:10:26Yes, sir.
00:10:27Herman, open windows.
00:10:28Me do.
00:10:29Me do.
00:10:39Well, she'll sleep well now, poor soul.
00:10:42It won't be necessary for you to stay here.
00:10:44A good night's sleep will work wonders for her.
00:10:47It was kind of you to come, doctor.
00:10:49Oh, it's nothing.
00:10:50It was kind of you to come, doctor.
00:10:52Oh.
00:10:54Martha has sold me apples for many years.
00:10:57Always a good, ripe, juicy one.
00:10:59Martha give me apples.
00:11:01I like.
00:11:08She wants a cross.
00:11:10Herman, get.
00:11:11Herman, get.
00:11:12Here.
00:11:13Here, now.
00:11:14For Martha.
00:11:15There.
00:11:20She won't let it out of her sight.
00:11:22A terrible experience.
00:11:24To be attacked by a giant bear is enough to shatter anyone's nerves.
00:11:28She talks about it all the time.
00:11:30How it flew in her face and tried to sink its teeth in her throat.
00:11:34No, no, no, no.
00:11:35Bats no do.
00:11:37They soft like cat.
00:11:41They not bite Herman.
00:11:43Be quiet, Herman.
00:11:44See what you've done.
00:11:46There, there, there, Martha bear.
00:11:51She'll be all right.
00:11:53If she isn't, let me know.
00:11:56Thank you for coming, doctor.
00:11:58That's all right.
00:11:59Good night.
00:12:00Good night.
00:12:03Run along, Herman.
00:12:04You can see Martha tomorrow.
00:12:06Oh.
00:12:21Ah, Dr. Von Neiman.
00:12:23Ah, Kringen.
00:12:24How are you?
00:12:25Much better.
00:12:26Thank you kindly, sir, since you prescribed for me.
00:12:28That's right.
00:12:31Go to bed, Herman.
00:12:32Go to bed.
00:12:33You shouldn't be prowling around the streets.
00:12:35Dangerous.
00:12:36Oh.
00:12:37I'm afraid.
00:12:39Afraid?
00:12:40Afraid of what, Kringen?
00:12:42The bats, sir.
00:12:43Big giant bats with wings like an eagle.
00:12:46You saw this bat, you say?
00:12:48I saw it swooping down the street.
00:12:50It came directly from my throat, sir.
00:12:52When was this, Kringen?
00:12:54Last night when they came to take Von Els.
00:12:56It was a big, monstrous thing.
00:12:58I saw it leap across the alley and into a window.
00:13:01I ran just as fast as my legs could carry me.
00:13:04You said nothing about this?
00:13:06There's enough fear in the village already.
00:13:08Maybe I should.
00:13:11Maybe I should.
00:13:13Maybe I should.
00:13:15Maybe I should.
00:13:17I will.
00:13:18I'll tell the Burgermeister.
00:13:19Yes, Kringen.
00:13:20That's the thing to do.
00:13:21No.
00:13:23Bats.
00:13:24Bats good.
00:13:26They not hurt Herman.
00:13:28He plays with them.
00:13:30You, you no tell.
00:13:32No.
00:13:33No, no, no, no, no.
00:13:34Go to bed, Herman.
00:13:35Go on.
00:13:36Go on.
00:13:37Go to bed.
00:13:39You say he plays with bats?
00:13:42His garret is filled with them.
00:13:44He makes pets of them.
00:13:46That's odd.
00:13:48Very odd.
00:13:49Maybe...
00:13:54Maybe he's it.
00:13:56Herman prowls around the streets all hours of the night,
00:13:59just like an animal.
00:14:01Maybe he's the vampire.
00:14:02Don't start any gossip with that, Kringen.
00:14:04Heaven only knows where it might end.
00:14:08Good night.
00:14:10Good night, sir.
00:14:32There.
00:14:33Now.
00:14:35Soft.
00:14:37Nice.
00:14:39There.
00:14:41See?
00:14:42What did I tell you?
00:14:43Perhaps there's something in what Kringen says.
00:14:45Seems strange that a human being should want to play with bats.
00:14:49He isn't human, I tell you.
00:15:05He's in league with the devil.
00:15:06Yes.
00:15:07Put it on.
00:15:14Put it on.
00:15:15There.
00:15:16Thanks.
00:15:17Now go to sleep.
00:15:18You'll be all right in a few days.
00:15:19The doctor says so.
00:15:21Close the window.
00:15:22Close the window.
00:15:23I'm afraid.
00:15:25The vampire.
00:15:27He said leave them open, but I'd have them closed.
00:15:44Do you want the light?
00:15:45Leave the light.
00:15:46I'm afraid.
00:15:48Well, I can't blame you for that either.
00:15:50I'll turn it down a little.
00:15:52Good night.
00:15:54If you want me, just pound on the floor.
00:15:56I'll hear you.
00:15:57All right.
00:15:58Good night.
00:16:00Good night, Martha.
00:16:03Good night, Martha.
00:16:16Herr Bretschneider is here to see you, sir.
00:16:18He's in the laboratory with Miss Burton.
00:16:20Oh, thank you.
00:16:26Ah, here you are.
00:16:28Good evening, doctor.
00:16:30Good evening, Ruth.
00:16:31How are you, Carl?
00:16:32Well, I'd feel a lot better if I could find the solution to these murders.
00:16:35You don't believe in this vampire theory, then?
00:16:37Of course not.
00:16:38Do you?
00:16:40There are many strange happenings, my boy.
00:16:43Many mysteries beyond the power of the human mind to comprehend.
00:16:46Have you a theory which might explain these deaths?
00:16:50Well, I'll be pleased to discuss it with you, but not now, not now.
00:16:54I have some very important work to do.
00:16:56Tomorrow, then.
00:16:57Tomorrow?
00:16:58Yes, yes, perhaps.
00:16:59We'll see.
00:17:01Oh, this isn't so important, Miss Burton, that you can't let it go till tomorrow.
00:17:04All right, thank you, doctor.
00:17:07Oh, how about Martha?
00:17:09Oh, nothing serious.
00:17:10Just a case of nerves, that's all.
00:17:12Good night.
00:17:13Good night.
00:17:14Good night, doctor.
00:17:15Good night, Carl.
00:17:29Good night.
00:18:00Name?
00:18:02Martha Muller.
00:18:05Age?
00:18:07I don't know.
00:18:10Cause of death?
00:18:11Like all the rest.
00:18:13The vampire.
00:18:14Yes, yes, that's so.
00:18:16When I said I was going to tell you, his eyes glowed up like coals of fire.
00:18:20His hand reached out towards me as if he were going to sink it into my throat.
00:18:24And weigh this well.
00:18:26He never works and never begs.
00:18:28And yet he appears well fed always.
00:18:31That so?
00:18:32He does?
00:18:33What does he live on, then?
00:18:36I'll wages, as Kringen says.
00:18:39And my woman was in Martha's room tonight when Herman put a flower in her hand.
00:18:43Strange business, if you ask me.
00:18:46Mighty strange.
00:18:47I hate to be in your shoes, Kringen.
00:18:49Yes, after what happened tonight, I'd like nothing more.
00:18:53Yes, after what happened tonight, I'd lock myself in my room and pray God to protect me from the devil.
00:19:24Good evening.
00:19:25Good evening.
00:19:26Good evening.
00:19:27Dr. Bonnyman.
00:19:28Yes, Doctor.
00:19:29Thank you.
00:19:31Dr. Bonnyman.
00:19:32Yes, Doctor.
00:19:33Thank you.
00:19:34Thank you.
00:20:04Ah!
00:20:20Well, what do you make of it, Doctor?
00:20:22Are these two wounds similar to those found on the other bodies?
00:20:26Dr. Haupt can answer that for you, sir.
00:20:30Yes, they were the same in every case.
00:20:34This is a strange condition, Carl.
00:20:36So strange that I doubt the evidence in my eyes.
00:20:41What was your conclusion, Haupt?
00:20:43I diagnosed the wounds as having been made by needle-sharp teeth.
00:20:48Punctures are clean-cut, penetrating into, but not beyond, the jugular vein.
00:20:55Do you mean to say that you also believe they could have been made by teeth?
00:20:59Frankly, I do.
00:21:00Ah, you see, Brett Schneider?
00:21:02What kind of teeth, Doctor?
00:21:04An animal of some sort?
00:21:06It's hard to say.
00:21:08The fangs of a wolf, perhaps.
00:21:10A werewolf.
00:21:11Could they have been made by, well, a bat, for instance?
00:21:15A certain species, yes.
00:21:18There are vampire bats.
00:21:21Dr. William Jamison, who explored many of the tributaries of the upper Amazon,
00:21:25states that blood-sucking bats do exist.
00:21:28He further asserts that the victims often become blood-drinkers themselves.
00:21:32Citing a case in which he saw a native tortured to death on an anvil by his tribe brothers,
00:21:38they swore he had become a human bat.
00:21:41And, states Jamison, he confessed it.
00:21:45Do you mean to say that such a thing as a human vampire is possible?
00:21:49Who can say?
00:21:51Historic records would have us believe that an evil soul,
00:21:54assuming there is such,
00:21:56can take any shape it pleases.
00:21:58So why not link to that of a human being?
00:22:01Eh, Carl?
00:22:02Why not?
00:22:04Have you any literature on the subject, Doctor?
00:22:06Yes, I have many interesting volumes on my shelf that might prove very enlightening.
00:22:11I'd be glad to show them to you.
00:22:13I don't mind admitting that I'm up a tree.
00:22:16Stomped.
00:22:17Well, we'll see what can be done, my boy.
00:22:20No, no, no, Herman.
00:22:21This is no place for you.
00:22:22Go away, my boy.
00:22:23Go away.
00:22:24Good night, Sean.
00:22:25Good night, Doctor.
00:22:26Good night, Hal.
00:22:27Good night, Doctor.
00:22:28Good morning, Carl.
00:22:29Thank you, Doctor.
00:22:30I'm sorry to have dragged you out at such an ungodly hour.
00:22:32Oh, that's all right, that's all right.
00:22:45A child fleeing in horror from the sight of death.
00:22:48There goes the vampire.
00:22:49Arrest him.
00:22:50Lock him up.
00:22:51Kill him.
00:22:52The entire village gone mad.
00:22:55Herman wouldn't harm a baby, and you know it.
00:22:57I've walked the streets of this village for over 40 years.
00:22:59But tonight's the end.
00:23:01He knows that I've totally played with bats.
00:23:03He knows that I saw him sneak into Martha's house just before midnight.
00:23:06Perhaps he was taking her another flower, Kringen.
00:23:08The boy brought her one this evening while I was there.
00:23:11He killed her just like he did all the rest.
00:23:13And now he's gonna kill me.
00:23:15Unless he's killing a stake driven through his heart, I'm a doomed man.
00:23:19He'll kill me.
00:23:21He'll kill me.
00:23:22I'm doomed.
00:23:23He'll kill me.
00:23:24He'll kill me.
00:23:25I'm a doomed man.
00:23:26He'll kill me.
00:23:51He'll kill me.
00:24:17Good morning, Mr. Bretschneider.
00:24:18What brings you to Kleinschloss so early?
00:24:20You.
00:24:21Fibber.
00:24:22I heard the doctor tell Georgiana he expected you.
00:24:25I knew there was something else.
00:24:26You're a delightful prevaricator, Karl, but not a very convincing one.
00:24:46You don't mind me using your stethoscope, do you, Doctor?
00:24:48Not at all, Frau Schnappen.
00:24:49What seems to be the ailment this morning?
00:24:51What's that?
00:24:55What seems to be the ailment this morning?
00:24:57Well, Doctor, I am positive that I have valvular deglute of the aorta.
00:25:02Or maybe it's the right ventricle.
00:25:06There is something wrong with my heart.
00:25:08I can hear it beat, thump, thump, thump, thump, just like the book says.
00:25:12Well, if you didn't hear it beating thump, thump, thump, just as the book says,
00:25:15I would say there is something wrong.
00:25:17What?
00:25:18Without a moon?
00:25:19You have a heart of stone.
00:25:21All right, then.
00:25:22Close your eyes.
00:25:27No.
00:25:30Oh, so, young lady.
00:25:32It's too early in the morning, Karl.
00:25:34Much too early.
00:25:35Oh, is it?
00:25:36Oh, there's Aunt Gussie.
00:25:42She would show up just at a time like this.
00:25:46Oh.
00:25:47Oh.
00:25:48Oh.
00:25:49Oh.
00:25:50Oh.
00:25:51Oh.
00:25:52Well, Aunt Gussie, what's the matter now?
00:25:54I have palpitation of the auricular, ventricular, and microvalves.
00:26:00There's a cardiac tendency.
00:26:02You mean your heart's beating.
00:26:04Of course it's beating.
00:26:05Dr. Von Nehlen tried to assure me, but I know, I know it's serious.
00:26:10I'm liable to go just like that.
00:26:12Did he prescribe for you, dear?
00:26:14Yes.
00:26:15Moon acid, ester, salicylic acid.
00:26:17You mean salicylic acid, don't you?
00:26:19Well, salicylic, salicylic.
00:26:21It's helped me.
00:26:22My heart is much quieter.
00:26:24Hello, Karl.
00:26:25Hello.
00:26:26Oh, Karl.
00:26:27You'll be good to her when I'm gone, won't you?
00:26:30Yes, of course I will, Frau Schnappmann.
00:26:32Well, I'm not gone yet.
00:26:33You can't marry her unless I say so.
00:26:35Don't forget that.
00:26:37Oh, my heart.
00:26:38There, auntie.
00:26:39You'll be all right.
00:26:40Just rest a while.
00:26:41But you need a...
00:26:42What?
00:26:44Rest, dear.
00:26:45Quiet.
00:26:58Aunt Gussie has a heart like a steam engine.
00:27:01Karl.
00:27:13Oh, Karl.
00:27:15Oh, Karl.
00:27:17Oh, you...
00:27:19Oh, Karl.
00:27:31Meow.
00:27:33Meow.
00:27:35Come on.
00:27:37Come on.
00:27:39Come on.
00:27:41Come on, come on, Titty Poop.
00:27:43Come on, Titty, Titty, Titty Poop.
00:27:46Come on, Titty, Titty, Titty Poop.
00:27:48Oh, you're a bad-ass baby.
00:27:50Come on, Titty Poop.
00:27:52Come on.
00:27:53Here.
00:27:54Here.
00:27:55Oh, a pretty little baby.
00:27:57You nasty little beast.
00:28:01Oh.
00:28:02Don't you know it's wrong to steal?
00:28:13You've cut yourself.
00:28:14See?
00:28:15Blood.
00:28:16Yes.
00:28:17Stop it.
00:28:18Stop it.
00:28:19No hurt me.
00:28:20No hurt.
00:28:21No, you poor thing.
00:28:22Now, you wait right here and I'll run in the house and get something for that finger.
00:28:25A subcutaneous wound like that might easily result in a tetanus infection.
00:28:30Tetan, tetan.
00:28:31Tetanus lockdown.
00:28:32Not that you need be afraid.
00:28:36From the way you talk, I think you've got it already.
00:28:38Look, here's a nice juicy apple for you.
00:28:43Ah, this is it.
00:29:00by Augustin d'Homme Calame, in 1746.
00:29:07Hmm.
00:29:08Let us suppose that these corpses do not actually stir from their tombs,
00:29:12but only the ghosts or spirits appear to the living.
00:29:15Wherefore do these phantoms present themselves, and what is it that energizes them?
00:29:20Is it actually the soul of the dead man, which has not yet departed to its final destination?
00:29:26Fiddlesticks.
00:29:28Now, how could a corpse buried under four or five feet of earth get out to do any such foolishness?
00:29:33I don't believe it.
00:29:35It's a fair question, Doctor.
00:29:37How could it?
00:29:38Well, according to accepted theory,
00:29:40the vampire dematerializes its body and reintegrates it outside the grave.
00:29:45It's a good explanation, if you can believe it.
00:29:48And while I'm standing here listening to all this rubbish,
00:29:50there's a poor man in the garden in danger of a tetanus infection.
00:29:53Now, what should I do for him, Doctor?
00:29:55Shall I apply mycochrome or two-percent solution of bichloride?
00:29:58Well, either will do.
00:29:59Get some gauze and some mycochrome.
00:30:02Thank you, Doctor. I'll wait here.
00:30:04Difficult to believe, isn't it?
00:30:06It's impossible to believe.
00:30:09And yet, it would explain these deaths, wouldn't it?
00:30:17Ah, Breitschneider.
00:30:19Pardon our intrusion, Dr. von Niemann.
00:30:21But after what you saw last night, you'll be interested in this as well.
00:30:25Well, what's happened?
00:30:26Kringen was found dead an hour ago,
00:30:29with the two punctures in his neck and not a drop of blood in his body.
00:30:34And what's more,
00:30:36Hermann Gleib has disappeared.
00:30:39What?
00:30:40Now you're convinced that we were right and you were wrong?
00:30:43That'd be proof enough for anybody.
00:30:45Kringen said Hermann would get him, and he did.
00:30:47Well, Breitschneider,
00:30:49I appoint you my deputy.
00:30:51Organize a searching party and comb this countryside from one end to the other.
00:30:55Find Hermann Gleib and bring him in, but don't harm him. Do you understand?
00:30:58What good will that do?
00:31:00He's a vampire.
00:31:01There's only one thing for us to do when we find him.
00:31:04Kill him and drive a stake through his neck.
00:31:06Hermann Gleib will be tried by a court of law.
00:31:10If the charge against him is proven true, the law will decide what to do with him, not you.
00:31:13Now get your men together and do as I tell you.
00:31:15That's the way to talk.
00:31:19I'm going into town for a little while, doctor. Would you care to come along?
00:31:21Oh, I hardly believe so.
00:31:23There's little to be done until they find the boy.
00:31:25If you need me then, I'll...
00:31:26All right, thanks. I'll let you know.
00:31:35I feel as though I was going to faint.
00:31:37Oh, there, auntie. There's nothing here to be afraid of.
00:31:39Here comes Emil with you, with cure-a-chrome and bandages.
00:31:42Run along now and take care of that patient of yours.
00:31:45Oh, heavens, I forgot all about him.
00:31:49Oh, my heart.
00:31:52Poor auntie. She's had every ailment in the book.
00:31:55And a lot that aren't, I'm afraid.
00:31:57Particularly a palpitation of the auricular, ventricular, tricuspid and mitral valves, doctor.
00:32:04Well, I had to tell her something to satisfy her.
00:32:16Here, here. You mustn't do that.
00:32:20Now, press that finger.
00:32:28You good like Martha.
00:32:31She give me apples.
00:32:34Herman like you.
00:32:37Are you Herman?
00:32:40Me Herman?
00:32:42You give me apple?
00:32:44Herman give you nice soft bat.
00:33:14Ah!
00:33:24Ah!
00:33:26Ah!
00:33:45Ah!
00:33:46Ah!
00:33:47Oh, Herman!
00:33:48Now you go away, Herman!
00:33:49I know you! I know you!
00:33:50Don't you touch me! I know you, Herman!
00:33:57Go away now, Herman! Go away!
00:34:15What is it, Georgiana?
00:34:17I just found this in Emil's room.
00:34:21Well?
00:34:22It belong to my friend, Martha Mueller.
00:34:24Are you certain?
00:34:25I gave it to her myself.
00:34:27Martha died last night.
00:34:29I find her crucifix in Emil's room.
00:34:31Doesn't that mean Emil is the one Herr Bretschneider is seeking?
00:34:34Yes, it is.
00:34:35I'm sure of it.
00:34:36I'm sure of it.
00:34:37I'm sure of it.
00:34:38I'm sure of it.
00:34:39I'm sure of it.
00:34:40I'm sure of it.
00:34:41I'm sure of it.
00:34:42Doesn't that mean Emil is the one Herr Bretschneider is seeking?
00:34:45This amazes me, Georgiana.
00:34:47It is impossible.
00:34:50It rained the night von Elst died.
00:34:52There was mud on Emil's shoes the next morning.
00:34:55Have you mentioned this to anyone?
00:34:56I intend to tell Herr Bretschneider when he calls again.
00:34:59I can't believe it.
00:35:02Leave this with me.
00:35:04I want to talk to Emil before you say anything to anyone.
00:35:07The Bürgermeister should know at once.
00:35:09Yes, all in good time.
00:35:11I don't want it to be too long for us to come to conclusions.
00:35:16Don't say anything until I tell you.
00:35:18And send Emil to me.
00:35:20Very well, doctor.
00:35:32That's for the neuritis.
00:35:35And the pepsin.
00:35:36That Hassenpfeffer was tougher than shoe leather.
00:35:39And sweet spirit of nighter.
00:35:41That will help, at least it won't do any harm.
00:35:43And ginger.
00:35:46That will warm us up.
00:35:48And now, a little pipe of soda.
00:36:09And now, a little pipe of soda.
00:36:39And now, a little pipe of soda.
00:37:10Come on, men.
00:37:13We've got him, he can't get away from here now.
00:37:16Some of you go around that way.
00:37:18And if he tries to get past you, you know what to do.
00:37:32Come on, men.
00:37:36Get over here.
00:37:39Get over here.
00:37:50There it is, men.
00:37:52Here it lies.
00:37:56Herman, you're going back to the village with us.
00:38:00Come on.
00:38:02We won't hurt you.
00:38:03No.
00:38:05No, we won't go.
00:38:07I'm afraid.
00:38:09Come on.
00:38:11You're going with us, Herman.
00:38:13No.
00:38:14You're going with us.
00:38:16No.
00:38:17Come on, Herman.
00:38:22Come on, Herman, we won't hurt you.
00:38:24Come on.
00:38:25No.
00:38:26No.
00:38:27No.
00:38:38Come, that settles him.
00:38:40Yes.
00:38:41Let's go.
00:38:42Please.
00:38:43Let's go.
00:38:50We've got to make certain.
00:38:52I won't go down there.
00:38:54Nobody asked you to.
00:38:57I'll go myself.
00:38:59Can you see him?
00:39:01I can't see him.
00:39:04I'll go myself.
00:39:06Can you see him?
00:39:09He's on a ledge about 50 feet down.
00:39:13I'll get a rope.
00:39:15We've got to make certain, I tell you.
00:39:19You must be careful, Emil.
00:39:23Very careful.
00:39:48The other one.
00:39:49On the other one.
00:39:51On the other one.
00:39:53It's like a castle.
00:39:56Yeah.
00:39:57It's like a castle.
00:40:00No.
00:40:01It must be, it must be.
00:40:05It must be, it must be.
00:40:07She's no better than the rest.
00:40:09I've got to go on.
00:40:12She's no better than the rest.
00:40:14I've got to go on.
00:41:47I don't know what you're talking about.
00:41:49I don't know what you're talking about.
00:41:51I don't know what you're talking about.
00:41:53I don't know what you're talking about.
00:41:55I don't know what you're talking about.
00:41:57I don't know what you're talking about.
00:41:59I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:01I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:03I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:05I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:07I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:09I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:11I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:13I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:15I don't know...
00:42:37Oh, it's you, doctor. Good evening.
00:42:39I'm sorry for having to disturb you, doctor,
00:42:41but we simply couldn't make Georgiana hear the bell.
00:42:43My dear, Georgiella is becoming careless, very careless.
00:42:47Yes, I've noticed that, too.
00:42:48In my opinion, she has Megalo.
00:42:51That's sleeping sickness.
00:42:52You know the symptoms, Doctor.
00:42:54At first, I thought it was creeping paralysis.
00:42:56So I stuck a pin in her leg to see.
00:42:57And there was a splendid reaction of the reflex motor nerves.
00:43:00Why, Auntie, you're shocked.
00:43:03So was she.
00:43:04Won't you join me in some coffee?
00:43:05Yes, thanks, Doctor, we will.
00:43:07There are a few questions I'd like to ask you about.
00:43:09About blood and murders and vampires, I suppose.
00:43:12Yes, I'm afraid so.
00:43:13And so am I.
00:43:14Well, good night.
00:43:16If such a thing is possible, I'm going to bed.
00:43:17Won't you join us, too, Frau Schnappmann?
00:43:19Coffee at this hour of the night?
00:43:21No, thank you.
00:43:22I'm going to stick to my Mona Asbestos Silicamic Salad.
00:43:25Acid, Doctor, acid.
00:43:27Good night.
00:43:33What's the news in the village, Karl?
00:43:35Have they located Herming yet?
00:43:37No, not a trace of him.
00:43:39I hate to think of that poor misfit
00:43:41being hunted down like a dog.
00:43:44You know, I simply can't bring myself to believe
00:43:46in that vampire theory.
00:43:48Will you, Paul, Ruth?
00:43:49Good night.
00:43:50I know, Karl.
00:43:52Our saner, calmer judgment
00:43:54tells us that such things can't be.
00:43:56And yet, here, for instance, in this ponderous tome,
00:44:00are cited a thousand and one phobias and complexes
00:44:04that human beings are heir to.
00:44:05Some of them are strange,
00:44:07more untenable, even, than werewolves and vampires.
00:44:12Could I have some more, please?
00:44:13You drink entirely too much coffee.
00:44:15It's my one weakness.
00:44:17And also my excuse for tolerating Georgiana's laxity
00:44:19and other things.
00:44:21She does know how to make good coffee.
00:44:23Thank you.
00:44:25She brings it to me every night at exactly 10 o'clock.
00:44:28And when I've drunk it all,
00:44:30then I know it's time to quit.
00:44:32Yes, and eat breakfast so you can have more coffee.
00:44:35Georgiana, you mustn't lie like that.
00:44:41You'll get yourself a tartar coolers.
00:44:43No, it's good night.
00:44:45Georgiana.
00:44:47Ah!
00:44:51That was auntie.
00:44:55Oh, Georgiana.
00:44:57Georgiana.
00:44:59Georgiana.
00:45:01Georgiana.
00:45:03Georgiana.
00:45:04We'll be right back.
00:45:14Auntie!
00:45:19Oh, my baby!
00:45:21I'm alright.
00:45:22I'm alright now.
00:45:23Oh, I'm so sorry...
00:45:24Gabe will help Florence at the door.
00:45:26I'm sorry another night.
00:45:29I've made some breakfast.
00:45:31The same two wounds, Doctor.
00:45:43My last words to her were angry ones.
00:45:46Perpetual reprimand for being late with my coffee.
00:45:50What time is that?
00:45:51About 2 or 3 minutes after 10.
00:45:53She's been dead then about 45 minutes.
00:45:59Bloodless like the rest.
00:46:02It passes all belief.
00:46:08Ruth's aunt saw Herman Glive in the garden this morning.
00:46:12Could it be that he...
00:46:24You were the first one here.
00:46:26What happened?
00:46:27I was in my room reading.
00:46:29My door was open.
00:46:31I must have dozed off for a minute or so because I awoke to hear Frosch Knopman scream.
00:46:35You say your door was open?
00:46:36Yes, my room was very poorly ventilated.
00:46:39And you saw nothing?
00:46:40Heard nothing unusual?
00:46:41Nothing.
00:46:42Carl.
00:46:43What is it?
00:46:44This crucifix belonged to Martha.
00:46:45See you later, Emil.
00:46:46Can you positively identify this as belonging to Martha?
00:47:00Without a doubt.
00:47:02I saw it in her room the night she died.
00:47:03How in the world did it get here?
00:47:06Herman Glive was in her room.
00:47:08He had that crucifix in his hands.
00:47:11And Herman was here today.
00:47:16Maybe here now, for all we know.
00:47:19Who is it?
00:47:24Carl.
00:47:27Oh.
00:47:30How is she?
00:47:36She's had a real shock this time, but she'll be all right.
00:47:38I'm putting her to bed.
00:47:39Leave her there.
00:47:40Don't let her out of this room.
00:47:41And don't you leave it either.
00:47:42Why, what do you mean?
00:47:44It looks as if Herman Glive is the killer, after all.
00:47:47It's possible he may be hiding here in the castle.
00:47:49Why, what makes you think so?
00:47:51I'll tell you later.
00:47:52Stay in your room.
00:47:53And keep your door locked.
00:47:55Don't worry about that.
00:48:01I heard every word you said.
00:48:03And I don't think there's any use of them searching for Herman.
00:48:06They should look for a dog, a human-faced dog.
00:48:09Andy, the doors and windows are all locked.
00:48:11There's nothing to be afraid of now.
00:48:12Well, who said I was afraid?
00:48:14I'm not a bit afraid.
00:48:15No, of course you're not afraid, but you must get some rest.
00:48:17Rest in this awful place?
00:48:19With dog-faced Hermans and human-faced bats
00:48:23and blood and murders and vampires.
00:48:36Find anything, Carl?
00:48:38There's an unbroken cobweb in that window.
00:48:40If Herman did it, he came through the door.
00:48:42He must have.
00:48:44And yet I don't understand how he could find his way up here
00:48:46without us hearing him.
00:48:48Yet Emil was asleep, and I was in the library.
00:48:52Yes, he could have done it.
00:48:54The facts all point to it.
00:48:57What was it, Emil?
00:48:58The burgomeister.
00:48:59He has news for Herr Bretschneider about Herman.
00:49:04Carl.
00:49:15Pardon the intrusion, doctor, pardon the intrusion.
00:49:17I knew Carl was here,
00:49:19and I thought you wouldn't mind if I ran in to tell him the news.
00:49:22About Herman?
00:49:23Yes.
00:49:24He fell into the devil's well in the cave.
00:49:27He's dead?
00:49:28Dead as a doornail.
00:49:30This ends our troubles, Carl.
00:49:32The vampire's dead.
00:49:34I can feel it in my bones.
00:49:37Well, your bones may be wrong.
00:49:40What time did this happen?
00:49:41Quite early, about nine o'clock.
00:49:43The cave is nearly two hours from here.
00:49:45That's why we didn't hear it sooner.
00:49:48Well, it may interest you to know
00:49:49that there's been another death
00:49:51after your vampire died.
00:49:54Who?
00:49:55Dr. von Neumann's housekeeper.
00:49:56Right here in her own room.
00:49:58Mother of mercy.
00:50:00What are we going to do?
00:50:01But a natural death wouldn't kill a vampire, Carl.
00:50:03You know the accepted theory.
00:50:05A stake driven through the heart.
00:50:07Oh, yes, that's the theory, all right.
00:50:09But...
00:50:10But what?
00:50:11But they did.
00:50:12They drove a stake through his heart.
00:50:15Good God, are we living in the Middle Ages?
00:50:17It wasn't through my sanction, Carl.
00:50:19Massawa did it.
00:50:20He told me so himself.
00:50:24Well, that ends the vampire theory as far as I'm concerned.
00:50:27Hermann Gleib died in the accepted fashion
00:50:29for killing a vampire.
00:50:31Oh, no, there's some human agency at work here, doctor.
00:50:34A madman who kills to satisfy
00:50:36some violent, sadistic urge.
00:50:38Yes, you're right, Carl.
00:50:40I've been a fool, a superstitious fool.
00:50:44Did they leave his body in the cave?
00:50:46Yes.
00:50:47Yes, they did.
00:50:49Well, in view of what's happened,
00:50:50don't you think you owe him a decent burial?
00:50:52You're right.
00:50:53In view of what has happened,
00:50:55we do owe him that, Carl.
00:50:57I'll see to it at once, this very instant.
00:50:59And I'll make arrangements
00:51:01for Georgiana's removal to the morgue.
00:51:03Good night, doctor.
00:51:04Pardon the intrusion.
00:51:05Good night, Gustav.
00:51:06Pardon the intrusion.
00:51:10Well,
00:51:12here I am,
00:51:13just where I started weeks ago.
00:51:15There isn't a single theory
00:51:17that doesn't lead straight into a stone wall.
00:51:21I've jested about this vampire business
00:51:23until my better judgment told me
00:51:24it was a lot of nonsense.
00:51:26Then I reached the point
00:51:27where I was willing to accept even that
00:51:29because it seemed to satisfy the equation.
00:51:32All of a sudden, it's superstitious.
00:51:35I don't know which way to turn,
00:51:37where to look, what to look for.
00:51:40Why should anyone want human blood?
00:51:43Why? Why?
00:51:44Calm yourself, Carl.
00:51:46Calm myself?
00:51:47Calm myself?
00:51:48With all these unsolved murders
00:51:49staring me in the face
00:51:52with no solution in sight?
00:51:58How much blood is there
00:51:59in the human body, doctor?
00:52:01About six liters, approximately.
00:52:04Can you think of any purpose
00:52:05for which that amount of blood
00:52:06might be used?
00:52:09No.
00:52:10Not even in transfusions.
00:52:12That's the point which stops me.
00:52:14There isn't any other use for human blood.
00:52:19Murderers leave clues
00:52:21and these atrocities are murders, doctor.
00:52:23Those simple fools in the village
00:52:24can believe what they like
00:52:25but you and I are sane thinking people
00:52:27and you now and I know, doctor,
00:52:28that these are murders.
00:52:32The last one was done here
00:52:34in this very house
00:52:35right under this roof.
00:52:38All right, I'll start here.
00:52:40I'm going over every foot of this place
00:52:42both inside and out.
00:52:43Nobody, sane or insane,
00:52:45is clever enough to get away with murder
00:52:46without leaving a clue of some sort
00:52:48and I'm going to find that clue.
00:52:49Now, come, Carl.
00:52:50Don't let that nerve run away with you.
00:52:52Here.
00:52:53These...
00:52:57These will help to give you
00:52:58a good night's sleep.
00:53:03If there are any clues,
00:53:05they'll be here in the morning
00:53:06when your nerves are calm
00:53:07and your...
00:53:09your mind is clear.
00:53:11Take my advice and go home and rest.
00:53:13I imagine a thousand demons were after me
00:53:15as I came down those stairs.
00:53:16Ruth, didn't I tell you to stay in your room?
00:53:18Yes, but I wanted the doctor
00:53:19to come up and quiet Auntie.
00:53:20You know, it isn't her imagination this time.
00:53:22Of course, Ruth, I'll come right away.
00:53:24Take my advice, young man.
00:53:25Go home and go to bed.
00:53:28Good night, Carl.
00:53:31Good night, Ruth.
00:53:39Good night, Carl.
00:53:40Good night, Doctor.
00:53:49Good night, Carl.
00:54:19Good night, Carl.
00:54:49If his lights are on,
00:54:52you must wait, Emil.
00:54:55Wait until he has gone to bed.
00:55:19Sigh.
00:55:49Sigh.
00:56:19Handle him as you did the others, Emil.
00:56:21I'll go to bed.
00:56:22Good night.
00:56:23Good night.
00:56:24Good night.
00:56:25Good night.
00:56:26Good night.
00:56:27Good night.
00:56:28Good night.
00:56:29Good night.
00:56:30Good night.
00:56:31Good night.
00:56:32Good night.
00:56:33Good night.
00:56:34Good night.
00:56:35Good night.
00:56:36Good night.
00:56:37Good night.
00:56:38Good night.
00:56:39Good night.
00:56:40Good night.
00:56:41Good night.
00:56:42Good night.
00:56:43Good night.
00:56:44Good night.
00:56:45Good night.
00:56:46Good night.
00:56:47Handle him as you did the others, Emil.
00:56:52You are strong.
00:56:55Very strong.
00:57:00I am waiting for you.
00:57:03Waiting for you to bring him to the laboratory.
00:57:17Done.
00:57:43You.
00:57:44You are the one!
00:57:45You.
00:57:46What mad thing are you doing?
00:57:48Mad?
00:57:49Is one who has solved the secret of life to be considered mad?
00:57:52Life, created in the laboratory.
00:57:55No mere crystalline growth, but tissue.
00:57:58Living, growing tissue.
00:58:00Life that moves, pulsates, and demands food for its continued growth.
00:58:05Huh.
00:58:06You shudder in horror.
00:58:08So did I the first time.
00:58:10But what are a few lies we weighed in the balance against the achievement of biological science?
00:58:14Think of it.
00:58:16I have lifted the veil.
00:58:18I have created life.
00:58:20Arrested the secret of life from life.
00:58:22Now do you understand?
00:58:24From the lives of those who have gone before, I have created life.
00:58:28I'll tell Karl.
00:58:31You may.
00:58:33For tonight Karl's name will be added to yours.
00:58:37And all of those whom this achievement will immortalize.
00:59:44I didn't take your sleeping tablets, doctor.
01:00:11Huh?
01:00:41Emil brought them here.
01:00:50He's the one who murdered them.
01:00:51Stay where you are.
01:00:52You'll have a chance to tell everything, doctor.
01:01:05I'll take care of Von Neiman.
01:01:08Get her out of here.
01:01:32You stay here.
01:01:49Von Neiman and Emil.
01:01:54Doctor!
01:01:55Doctor Von Neiman!
01:01:56Karl, she mustn't see them.
01:02:01Where is Doctor Von Neiman?
01:02:02I must see him immediately.
01:02:03I'm guessing you can't.
01:02:05He can't be disturbed.
01:02:06Oh, but I must see him.
01:02:07I simply must.
01:02:08That hydrous magnesium sulfate he gave me is affecting me most peculiarly.
01:02:13You'll pardon me?
01:02:18Hydrous magnesium sulfate.
01:02:22Well, that's Epsom salts.
