NEAR THAT PLACE.

WHY?

OH, THAT PLACE

GIVES ME:

THE CREEPS.

BUT WHY?

WELL...SOME SAY

THAT OLD:

WHATELEY:

AND WILBUR:

AREN'T ALONE...

THAT THERE'S

SOMETHING ELSE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

"SOMETHING ELSE"?

I--I DON'T KNOW

EXACTLY, BUT, UH...

WHEN I WAS:

A LITTLE KID,

THE OTHER:

CHILDREN AND I,

WE THOUGHT THE OLD

WHATELEY HOUSE:

WAS HAUNTED.

OF COURSE, I DON'T

BELIEVE THAT ANYMORE,

BUT I KEEP AWAY:

AND SO DOES:

EVERYONE ELSE.

ANYWAY, THE OLD MAN

AND WILBUR,

THEY HAVEN'T

ALLOWED:

ANYONE ON THE PLACE

IN YEARS.

OH.

WELL, A FRIEND OF MINE

IS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW.

WHAT?

YEAH.

SHE'S OUT THERE

WITH WILBUR.

WILBUR WHATELEY:

HAS A GIRLFRIEND?

OH, I DON'T

BELIEVE IT!

WELL, HASN'T IT EVER

HAPPENED BEFORE?

NOT WITH ANY GIRL

AROUND HERE.

I SAW YOUR NAME:

ON THE BIRTH RECORDS.

WELL...

YOU HAVE ME:

IN AN AWKWARD:

POSITION, DOCTOR.

AND BEFORE:

I CAN REVEAL:

ANYTHING TO YOU,

I MUST KNOW THE PURPOSE

OF YOUR INQUIRY.

OF COURSE. DR. CORY,

THIS WILL SOUND:

QUITE FANTASTIC,

BUT I ASK:

YOUR INDULGENCE.

PLEASE BEAR WITH ME

AND THEN DECIDE:

FOR YOURSELF.

WHERE THE WHATELEYS

ARE CONCERNED,

THERE IS VERY LITTLE

THAT IS NOT FANTASTIC.

I WONDER WHAT'S GOING ON.

LOOK...

I DON'T WANT

TO WORRY YOU,

BUT IF I:

HAD A FRIEND:

DOWN AT WEIRD:

WILBUR'S,

I'D GET HER

OUT OF THERE.

LET ME PUT IT:

THIS WAY, DOCTOR.

THE LEGEND OF:

THE NECRONOMICON

HAS IT THAT:

LONG AGO:

THE EARTH WAS INHABITED

BY A SPECIES:

FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION.

WITH CERTAIN CHANTS

FROM THE BOOK,

COUPLED WITH ANCIENT

RITES AND SACRIFICES,

THIS RACE, THE OLD ONES,

CAN BE BROUGHT BACK.

AND MANKIND?

DESTROYED.

AND FROM WHAT:

YOU'VE SEEN

OF YOUNG:

WHATELEY,

YOU THINK IT'S

ACTUALLY POSSIBLE

THAT HE MIGHT:

BELIEVE THAT?

THE BOOK, THE GIRL...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.

IF HE DOES BELIEVE

THE LEGEND,

FROM MY IMPRESSION

OF WILBUR,

HE'D BE CAPABLE

OF ANYTHING.

IF HE DOES ATTEMPT

ONE OF THOSE:

RITUALS,

THAT GIRL IS IN:

GRAVE DANGER.

WELL, IT'S HARD

TO ACCEPT.

BUT THEN, IT WOULDN'T

BE THE FIRST TIME

THAT SOMEONE ELSE

PAID THE PENALTY

FOR WHATELEY FANATICISM.

OH?

YES, YOU SEE...

IT WASN'T I

WHO DELIVERED:

YOUNG WHATELEY.

IT WAS HIS:

GRANDFATHER.

IT'S BEEN

25 YEARS,

BUT I'LL NEVER

FORGET THAT DAY:

AS LONG:

AS I LIVE.

[Dr. Cory] I WAS IN

OSBORNE'S STORE,

JUST CHATTING WITH

A FEW OF THE LOCALS.

OLD WHATELEY:

CAME RUNNING IN:

ALL OF A SUDDEN,

ALL WILD-EYED

AND CRAZIER THAN EVER.

BUT NOBODY:

EVER SAW MUCH:

OF THE WHATELEYS

IN TOWN,

SO IT WAS A SURPRISE

RIGHT OFF.

HE ALWAYS TOOK:

A LOT OF JEERING

FROM THE TOWNSFOLK.

WELL, THEY DIDN'T

WASTE A MINUTE'S TIME

BEFORE THEY STARTED

IN ON HIM.

[Whateley] I DON'T CARE WHAT

YOU FOLKS SAY.

IF LAVINIA'S BOY
