Monster of Terror Page #2

You are my one hope for Susan.

Take her away from here as soon

as you can. Tomorrow. The next day.

You must promise me. My husband

may not allow me to speak to you again.

I must have your promise now.

- What did you talk about?

- What? Oh! You.

I want you to know,

I have the parental blessing.

Well, half of it, anyway.

- My room's supposed to be down here.

- I'll show you.

This is the room. I'll have Merwyn

bring up your case.

Susan, how long

has your mother been like that?

Ill, you mean?

Well, that and the uh,

darkened room, shaded bed.

Not long.

She's been worse the past few days.

And the doctor's forbidden her

to have any visitors?

No, she hasn't seen a doctor.

Father wants to look after her himself.

- And what about Helga?

- Helga?

Why all these questions?

Your mother's very concerned about her.

She's disappeared.

Susan, what's going on here?

I don't know, Steve.

What else did you and Mother talk about?

Come here.

Your mother did ask whether

my intentions were honourable.

- Are they, Steve?

- What do you think?

You shouldn't have invited Reinhart here.

You're a difficult woman, Letitia.

No. Not difficult.

Only afraid.

Oh, so that's it, huh?

The sins of the fathers, huh?

Well, let me warn you, nothing

is going to deter me from my purpose.

- Yes, that's what Corbin said.

- He's dead, Letitia.

He's been dead for a long time.

If there was evil, it's buried with him.

All that remains of Corbin is a few

harmless objects in the cellar.

- No! You know how light pains me!

- Why persist in this delusion?

Please, Nahum, close the curtains. Please.

I wonder if you realise

how like Corbin you've become.

There's no similarity whatsoever.

I've uttered no incantations.

Neither have I cried out

to any of the other so-called...

creatures of evil.

- It's only your methods that differ.

- And do you know why?

Because I don't believe in it.

I never have believed in it.

It is you who would perpetuate

these blasphemies, these absurdities.

Nahum, I saw your father change

from an upright God-fearing man

into an old man possessed of the devil.

Whatever happened to my father

will not happen to me.

It's already happening.

I could see it happening to you,

Letitia, not to me.

It's happening to all of us.

There's evidence of it all around us.

There is nothing to do with Corbin Witley.

Corbin was invoking the dark powers

when he died.

Now, his call is being answered.

So that is why

you sent for Stephen Reinhart.

I sent for him to take Susan away.

- What have you told him?

- Nothing.

- Are you sure?

- I don't need to tell him anything.

- He can see for himself.

- I don't want him here.
