Amityville 3-D Page #3

to be a perfectly logical explanation.

And the other 3%?

The other 3% is why I'm here.

- Tell me, have you seen any ghosts yet?

- Not yet.

They're hiding.

- Did you read the article?

- In Reveal? Yeah.

Just for the record,

not only haven't I seen a ghost...

but I've never talked to anyone

who's claimed to have seen one...

who could last 20 seconds

with a lie detector.

- How can you be so sure?

- Experience.

Reveal Magazine has had me

in more haunted houses...

and sances and psychic confrontations

than I can tell you about.

They've all got one thing in common.

One unifying theme.

The exploitation of the fear of death.

That's my room.

Don't you think it's natural to fear death?

Wonder what's beyond it?

Yes, I think it's the most natural thing

in the world...

but I don't think there are any answers.

Rationality doesn't apply. Anything goes.

People like the Caswells use that

and they prey on it.

It's a gross form of immorality.

Not that I'm some paragon of virtue.

After all, I work for Reveal Magazine.

I'm in there exploiting with the best of them.

I don't think that's the same thing.

That's what I keep trying to tell myself.

Still, I think it's ironic that this monument

to paranoia and fear...

should now become home

for my new serious life.

- Are you gonna start writing your book?

- I'm gonna try.

So, madam, which room is it to be?

Well, I think this room.

I like it. It's very interesting.

Sold to Miss Susan Baxter

for one enormous hug.

Where are you going?

We got an article to layout.

Sorry. I got an appointment with an agent.

It's the only time I could arrange.

- Agent?

- Yeah. Clifton Sloan.

He's an old friend of mine.

He told me if I was ever interested

in doing anything more substantial...

that I ought to come and see him.

The much-heralded book.

Right.

Why don't you come over to my place

around 6:
00 and we could work there?

Okay.

If I'm not back in time,

Dolores will let you in.

Hello?

Dolores?

Is anybody here?

Dolores?

- Dolores?

- Yes.

- Who are you?

- I'm Melanie.

I'm waiting for Mr. Baxter!

He's not here now!

I know.

- Are you sure you have to go?

- Oh, yes.

I don't like to be late getting home.

Mr. Baxter will be here very soon.

I hope so.

You better have this.

The fuse has been going out all day long...

and the electric man hasn't come.

You do know where the fuse box is?

Yeah, down in the basement.

That's right. Bye.

Dolores!

Stay open.

Are you all right, sir?

It's a miracle I wasn't killed.

- What happened?

- I don't know.

It was inspected only last week.

The notice is in the car.

- Do you want to see it?

- No.

Let me just catch my breath.

Well, okay, sir.
