Altar Page #2

Synopsis: The Hamilton family move into a large country house on the Yorkshire Moors to supervise its restoration from a dilapidated B&B to the original Victorian grandeur. When Meg Hamilton, wife, mother and renovation expert first loses her London team after an accident, then a local Yorkshire team too superstitious to continue, she's forced to carry on alone. The discovery of a secret attic room, a Rosicrucian mosaic, a bricked up root cellar and many other unexplainable events gradually convince Meg, her husband Alec and children Penny and Harper, that they're not only restoring the house, but also its original Victorian owners who died 150 years ago. But before they can escape, the house - and its former occupants - force them to spend one last, terrifying night under its roof.

bricked-up doorway.

That would have been the

root cellar way back when

the house was first built.

People closed them up

when fridges came in.

OK, well, give me

a couple of secs.

I'm just gonna patch this up.

I can only do 3 days a

week and my lad even less,

if that still suits.

Well, you know, I'll

take what I can get.

I think we should start at

the top of the house and work

our way down.

As I said, my client

wants to see the place

returned to its original state.

I think we might

get away with...

What was that?

It's just the boiler.

Well, are you sure

that's was it was?

It's not going to do

that all night, is it?

Can you go check, Dad?

Your mom wears the plumber's

pants in this house, sweetie.

Oooh!

Where do you think you're going?

I'm gonna shut down

the bloody boiler.

I'm not finished with you yet.

Jesus!

Oooh!

Whew.

Huh.

Aah!

Whoo! That felt great.

You've had a shower?

Yeah, piping hot

and great pressure.

I gotta hand it to you, Meg.

Alec, I turned the boiler off.

Yeah, very funny.

I thought I saw a woman

wandering around the garden.

Probably just some nosy

neighbor curious about

the newly arrived

aliens from London.

Maybe I'm just tired.

You know what I think?

I think you're more beautiful

now than when we first met.

I don't believe you.

Why?

I think you're wishing

I'd never cut my hair.

I'm obviously not the woman

you fell in love with, Alec.

I don't know what's

happened to her.

This... is your moment.

You're perfect as you are now.

But that's not me.

It's not.

Mmm...

Mmm...

What are you f***ing

doing to me?

Aah! Aah!

Aah!

Alec, stop it!

Don't take my picture!

No! Stop!

Stop it, Alec!

Please. Please.

No.

Stop it!

Penny?

Penny, the door's locked.

The key must have

dropped out somewhere.

Can you see it on the floor?

Penny!

Have you got your inhaler?

Sh*t!

Sh*t.

Coming!

Coming!

Oh, sh*t!

Penny, stand clear!

Uhh!

Where's your inhaler?

Here we go.

Exhale... and in, big one!

Good girl, and again.

And in.

There we go.

Let the medicine work.

OK. Deep breath.

Shhh, you're OK. You're OK.

There was a woman!

There was a woman.

No, it was just a bad dream.

No, I saw her.

It was just a dream.

What's happening?!

Don't worry, Harper. She's

just had an asthma attack.

Go on back to bed, darling.

No way. I'm sleeping

in your bed now.

You OK?

Yeah.

OK, so, who wants to

go to the beach today?

There's a town on the coast

called Whitby not far from here.

That's where Dracula landed.

They put him in in a coffin

because the sunlight

burnt his skin.

Shut up, Harper.

I'm telling you, we're at the

center of the creepy universe.

Since when do you
