Morella... evermore
Edgar Allan Poe
Morella Locke! You have been found guilty of
witchcraft, blasphemy and murder.
Therefore it is the judgement to this club union
to be sentenced to death...
as proscribed by law.
Do you have anything to say before this assembly?
Gideon Locke!
Yes, my husband, I speak to you!
Mark well our daughter, I shall
live on within her!
One day she and I will
live as one!
To welcome you to the
gates of hell!
Look into her eyes!
She has the power to control men's minds.
This is barbaric! No one has been executed
for witchcraft in the county for 40 years!
She has lived as a witch! And she
shall die as a witch!
Proceed!
Now shall her eyes be put out.
So even after her death she may cast no more evil spells.
a fortnight.
A warning to all who will
follow in her wicked ways!
Come, Gideon.
No. Do not torment yourself
further, my friend.
I will take care of interring
her remains.
No!
the very spot where she died.
May Morella live in peace.
For eternity.
Edgar Allan Poe's
The Haunting of Morella
Seventeen years later
- Yes Sir?
- I have an appointment with Gideon Locke.
Yes, you're expected.
If you follow me please, Mr Chapman.
Forgive me Sir, I...
...sometimes forget my appearance.
It's an honour fo finally
meet you, Sir!
Your message stated that you have
an important transaction with me?
Actually, Sir, this concerns
your daughter Lenora.
I see.
As you probably know, a trust fund was
set up by your late wife's family -
- prior to the birth of your daughter.
According to the specifications set down,
Lenora is to come into that inheritance
on her 18th birthday.
I understand the event will
Yes, on the 24th.
I have some papers that require
her signature at that time.
I'd like Lenora to look them
over beforehand.
May I ask your age, Mr Chapman?
My age? 27.
Now, if I may see Lenora?
I'm sorry, I absolutely
forbid it.
- But Sir, I...
- Young man, you will leave this
house immediately!
All further transactions will
be conducted by letter.
Is that understood?
Sir, if I have offended you
in any way...
- Quintis!
- Yes?
This young man is leaving now.
You will see him out.
Yes, Sir.
I have left the papers requiring
Lenora's signature on the table.
Good day, Sir!
The portrait!
Lenora?
No, Sir. Mr Locke's late wife.
Morella.
Yes.
I wonder what he wanted?
You can daydream about him later.
Come. Let us get back to our
lessons on Spain.
Uh, geography.
What's the point of learning about the world
when I'm never allowed to leave these grounds?
Some day you may travel and see
all the places we read about.
Some day? Not if father
has any say in things!
If you make faces like that, no
young man will ever come to call!
Here.
I was saving this for your birthday.
But you can have it now for a smile!
For me! What is it?
You'll have to open it to find out.
It's beautiful!
Thank you, Miss Deveraux!
How does it look?
Lovely.
I must confess, Gideon, your powers of
concentration never cease to amaze me!
- It's as if you could still see!
- Yes, it is my curse!
- Your laudeanum, Mr Locke!
- Laudeanum?
Yes, Mr Locke's having
difficulties sleeping.
I see.
Now, if you have no further need for
me tonight I'll be in my room, Mr Locke.
- Good night.
- Doctor.
Time for all proper young ladies
to be in their beds. Lenora?
