Peter, a New York City reporter, teams up with a young psychic, named Mary, to travel to the town where they team up with another couple, psychiatrist Jerry and patient Sandra, to find a way to close the gates before All Saints Day or the dead all over the world will rise up and kill the living.

He always comes to

you when you're here.

Something must have

frightened him.

Give me the

dirtiest thoughts...

I'm telling you,

you're gonna end up

a dirty old man.

A pervert.

Peeping tom.

Talk about box lunches man

saw a porno flick once,

where this guy got so

carried away

he humped himself to death.

Too much of good thing

but what a way to go

what's the matter?

Never seen a body

in the earth before?

Any law against looking?

Yeah

okay, I'm leaving.

What time you got?

Let's flip to see who

goes in the hole

alright.

Call it.

Heads.

Tails.

In the hole, sucker.

Sh*t...

what are you still

doing here, pal?

Come on fellas.

What do you want from us?

- Nothing

I'm just curious about

this girl here, that's all.

Look, why don't you guys

go ahead with your work

and just pretend I'm not

around.

Well move, cause we're

almost finished.

It's 5 o'clock.

We've busted our

balls enough, let's go.

You're not going to leave

her like that, are you?

Union hours.

Anyway, what does she care?

She's not in any hurry.

Is she?

Oh, my god...

but for you,

mary would have suffered

a terrible death.

I was just lucky.

No

it was written.

Are you acquainted with

the book of enoch?

A text which dates back to

more than 4000 years ago.

It contains man's first

recorded description of

his boundless mortal fear

in the face of malice itself

the demanding implacable

enemy who's search for blood

is never satiated.

Mary, tell your experience.

Everything you've witnessed

during our last seance.

The city of the dead...

the living dead.

A cursed city

where the gates of hell

have been opened.

Where exactly is this city?

I don't know where it is.

All I know is that it is

called dunwich.

I've never heard of it.

How do you know?

I mean how can you be so sure?

I read the name

on a tombstone

mr. Bell,

if those gates are left

open it may be

the end of humanity.

We gotta try to get them

shut again.

At midnight on monday

we go into all saints day.

The night of the dead

begins then.

And if the portals of hell

don't get shut before then,

no dead body will ever be

able to rest in peace again.

And so the dead will rise

up and take over the earth.

You've got to get to dunwich.

You must re-close those

gates

bob?

Bob, are you here?

Bob?

Bob?

Bob...?

Bob

bob...

what happened?

Did you hurt yourself?

Bob

bob...

bob

bob...

don't leave me alone

I'm afraid...

hello?

It's you, mr. Robbins.

No, emily's not here,

I'm afraid.

What's that?

She's usually home

this hour of the night.

I hope that nothing's

happened to her.

There's been a lot of

strange talk circulating.

Come on now

mr. Robbins.
