Where is she?

mrs. Robbins

mrs. Holden?

Yes. Mrs. Holden died

last night

and according to

dr. Thompson,

was frightened to death.

Frightened to death?

That's what she said, fear.

Of what?

Damned if I know, doc.

It's the strangest thing

I've ever heard of.

Fear?

There's been talk that

rose calvin and tommy

fisher disappeared too.

They went to the movies

last night

and nobody has seen them since.

That makes five people

that have

disappeared in the last

48 hours.

I think it's bob.

I don't believe in this

superstitious nonsense.

Yeah, maybe you're right

sure, remember two years

ago when

bob took little anne into

the woods?

It was a miracle we found

him in time.

Yeah, and I say it's him

he's the one causing all

the trouble around here.

God only knows what he

did to poor emily.

All I know is that the air

in dunwich

is getting awful thick...

soon as I can find

somebody to buy my

shop and my house

I'm vamoosing.

You can bet your ass.

Calm down, dear.

Take it easy.

Calm down.

My baby, my poor baby

you better take john john out.

Yes, of course.

John john

come on.

Let's go outside.

Let's take a walk.

You have to be strong now.

You have to find courage

to face reality.

You have to be a man.

Do you know what I mean?

I'm hungry

good.

There's a lollipop in the

glove box

look. I'm not joking.

I'm starved.

Look, you're the one

who got me out here

in the armpit of the world

chasing your galloping

cadavers.

Come on.

Let's go have a snack someplace

okay.

You want to give up?

Why don't you get in the car

we'll go and check out

the local cuisine.

Don't be upset.

Upset? Who's upset?

According to your

theory we have less than

48 hours before

this... aii saints day.

Oh please. Not now.

Do you mind?

Come on.

Let's go check out

the local cuisine
