The Vault of Horror
Subbasement?
- I pushed ground.
- So did I.
Well, why didn't it open?
Looks like some sort of a club.
Never knew there was one
in the building.
This elevator
has no push buttons.
And there's no way out.
Someone's bound to come down here soon.
Why not make the best of it?
- Good idea. Let's do that.
- Why not?
Might as well, I suppose.
- Thank you.
- Strange situation.
Almost like a dream.
Dreams are much
more frightening than this.
At least mine are.
Really? In what way?
Strange. Mysterious.
Unworldly.
Almost unbelievable.
Oh?
But so real.
One feels sometimes
that it's actually happening.
Why don't you tell us about it?
All right, I will.
Well?
You found her.
Where?
Where?
That's where she lives.
I didn't like the town at all.
Nobody saw you come here?
I'm good at my job.
Everything confidential.
Thanks.
Any time.
Thank you.
You're a stranger in town,
aren't you?
Yes.
It's getting dark.
You'd better
get inside somewhere.
I'd like a menu, please.
I'm sorry, sir
but we're closing.
But it's dinnertime. You can't
close before 7:
00 at night.It's getting dark.
They come out in the dark.
Who?
- Who's there?
- It's your brother.
Harold.
Come in. Quickly!
So you've found me at last.
Took me a long time.
What do you want?
I've come to see you.
After all, you are my sister.
Why have you buried yourself
in a place like this?
Why is everyone
so afraid of the dark here?
- Because of them.
- "Them"?
There have been 17 cases so far.
Now, tell me why you wanted
to find me so badly.
Father died four weeks ago.
I've been looking for you
ever since.
You're his heir, you know.
You always were his favorite.
He left you everything.
For as long as you live.
No! No!
Good evening.
The Table d'hte
is rather nice, sir...
Juice, soup,
roast, sweet, coffee.
Sounds fine.
Ah. Tomato juice.
Ah, yes, it, um, tastes
rather... strange.
It is our usual, sir.
Oh.
And now, how would you
like your roast clots?
Well done? Medium? Rare?
Roast what?
Clots. Blood clots.
No! No!
No! No!
Much better
than the frozen stuff.
Quite a nice bouquet.
- A good year!
- Very fresh.
I'll have a glass too, please.
A recurrent dream.
More. Oh, much more.
It's hard to explain.
It's with me all the time.
Do you have a sister?
No.
No. It's just a dream.
We all have something like it.
And you... What's your dream?
Why not his first?
My what?
Dream. Vision.
Phobia. Obsession. Fear.
Whatever you want to call it.
My dream is a very peculiar one.
Very peculiar indeed.
But so real.
So real.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Well, Wilson, as they say,
congratulations are in order.
I'm going to get married.
At your age?
I've spent a lot of time amassing a
fortune, acquiring a lovely house,
filling it
full of beautiful things.
Now I need somebody to look after them.
And me, of course.
- Who's the lucky girl?
The daughter of a chum of
mine... sir George Melsh.
Little Eleanor?
Well, she's not little now.
She's grown up.
- Very charming, really.
- But why on earth should she marry you?
Well, I think of myself
as somewhat of a catch, really.
Very easy to get on with,
actually.
Eleanor.
Eleanor!
You've moved the furniture.
Yes, I thought it would
look better if I...
But you've moved the furniture!
- I go for a magazine and it isn't there.
- You must admit it looks nicer.
But you've moved the furniture!
I'll never be able to find anything!
If it bothers you that much...
Well, of course...
Of course it bothers me. There's a place for
everything, and everything in its place.
That's how businesses run,
that's how societies run,
and that is how
a home should be run.
Yes, Arthur.
Morning, my dear. Sleep well?
What's this?
They're mine.
Yours?
What are they doing
in my drawer?
I moved your things
to your side of the bed.
But my underpants have always been in the
second drawer, on the left, buttons on top.
How can one live in chaos?
Come with me.
I want to show you something.
Come on.
No, no, this way. This way.
Now, Eleanor,
this is my workshop.
I love making things.
It relaxes me.
But I couldn't make anything...
unless I kept all my things
neatly filed away.
Nails... size, length. Screws...
size, kind, thread, diameter.
I know where everything is. I just have
to put out my hand, and I find it.
And that, Eleanor,
is the value of neatness.
Yes, Arthur.
Why did you marry him, Eleanor?
Father had no money.
I had no ability, no profession.
What else was I to do?
Besides,
he's quite nice, really.
- Except...
- Except for what?
Well, there's nothing I seem
to be able to do for him...
except keep his house tidy.
Oh, darling, darling. Don't go into
the kitchen. Come and sit over here.
I'll do the cooking tonight.
It's high time I illustrated to
you what a splendid cook I am.
Now, just sit down there, make
yourself perfectly comfortable.
I did a lot of cooking
when I lived alone.
Developed into
quite a chef, actually.
Oh. Spaghetti Pomodoro?
Tomatoes. Al dente, of course.
Tomatoes.
No tomatoes.
Ah. Puree. Tomato puree.
Tomato puree...
No tomato puree.
"Spaghetti sauce".
All right...
Eleanor.
Eleanor!
