00:00:00Ha ha ha ha.
00:00:07Rains and halls and bats and bones and teenage monsters and haunted homes.
00:00:17A ghost on the stairs.
00:00:18A vampire's bite.
00:00:19Beware!
00:00:20Animal spiders creep and crawl, boys and ghouls having a ball, Frankenstein, Dracula and even
00:00:42the mummy are sure to end up in somebody's tummy.
00:01:00Take a fresh rodent, some toadstools and weeds, and add an old owl and the young ones she
00:01:05breeds.
00:01:06Six and seven legs from an eight-legged beast and then you're all set for a cannibal feast.
00:01:27Sit round a fire with this cup of brew, a fiend and a werewolf on each side of you.
00:01:33This cannibal orgy is strange to behold and the maddest story ever told.
00:01:57The Mary Syndrome, so called because it's only known occurrence is among the descendants
00:02:02of one Ebenezer Mary, a progressive age regression beginning about the tenth year and continuing
00:02:08steadily throughout the victim's lifetime.
00:02:11It is believed that eventually the victim of the Mary Syndrome may even regress beyond
00:02:17the pre-natal level, reverting to a pre-human condition of savagery and cannibalism.
00:02:26Many authorities do not accept the existence of the Mary Syndrome.
00:02:32Incredible, but true, nevertheless, I know only too well.
00:02:41Of course, there's no Mary Syndrome anymore.
00:02:46It was extinguished forever from the human race that fateful day ten years ago.
00:03:08Can you tell me where the Mary house is?
00:03:36I said the Mary house!
00:03:42If there is any such place, we don't know anything about it.
00:04:05No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:04:35, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:05:05no, no, no, no.
00:05:35Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

00:06:42Anybody home? Anybody home? Please say yes, somebody's home.
00:07:12Hello in there.
00:07:32Hello.
00:07:40Hello.
00:07:44I caught you.
00:07:48I caught you.
00:07:50I caught a big fat bug right in my spider web.
00:07:56And now the spider gets to give the bug a big stink.
00:08:04Stink.
00:08:06Stink.
00:08:08Stink.
00:08:10Stink.
00:08:12Stink.
00:08:14Stink.
00:08:16Stink.
00:08:18Virginia.
00:08:22Virginia, are you crazy?
00:08:24Now look what you've done.
00:08:26You're bad.
00:08:28Bad.
00:08:30I'm going to hate you.
00:08:44I'm going to hate you.
00:09:12I'm going to hate you.
00:09:22I'm going to hate you.
00:09:32I'm going to hate you.
00:10:00I'm going to hate you.
00:10:08Elizabeth.
00:10:10Virginia.
00:10:19Elizabeth.
00:10:21Virginia.
00:10:24Elizabeth.
00:10:34Elizabeth.
00:10:37Bruno, Virginia hurt somebody real bad.
00:10:41You ought to hate her.
00:10:43Elizabeth, how many times have I told you it's not nice to hate?
00:10:53Oh.
00:10:57Oh.
00:10:58Stop it.
00:10:59Stop it.
00:11:07One time I hate them all.
00:11:11And now this.
00:11:16Elizabeth, I trusted you.
00:11:18I left you in charge.
00:11:20It's not my fault.
00:11:21No, I didn't do it.
00:11:23She did it.
00:11:24She was playing spider.
00:11:26You should hate her.
00:11:28No.
00:11:29I left you in charge.
00:11:32Virginia.
00:11:33Virginia, you come here right now.

00:12:29Ralph.
00:12:42Virginia, now you stay right there.
00:12:46Sit down. Sit down.
00:12:49You two are listening.
00:12:57Now children, I want to tell you something and I want you to listen very, very carefully.
00:13:06You remember last time when those two children climbed over the wall
00:13:11and Virginia almost caught them in her spider web?
00:13:16Well, that got people to wondering about us and that's bad.
00:13:21Your daddy wouldn't like that, Virginia.
00:13:25Now, I can't be here all the time.
00:13:29You know that I have to take Ralph into the city to the doctor once in a while.
00:13:35And Virginia, you were supposed to mind your sister.
00:13:38You were not supposed to play spider anymore.
00:13:42Now, you never, never can play spider again.
00:13:47Oh, Ralph, what have you got there?
00:13:50Something that man had.
00:13:52Ralph, give it to me.
00:13:54That's it.
00:13:56Thank you, Ralph.
00:14:03This is from a lawyer.
00:14:08Now, a lawyer?
00:14:11What is it, little girl?
00:14:13Something bad, isn't it?
00:14:15How many times do I have to tell you?
00:14:18Just because something isn't good doesn't mean it's bad.
00:14:21What do you mean bad?
00:14:23Must be something very bad.
00:14:27Nothing is very bad.
00:14:30What is it?
00:14:35He's going to come here and bring other people.
00:14:38Daddy wouldn't like that.
00:14:40What other people?
00:14:43They want to make...
00:14:46They want to become your legal guardians.
00:14:51As the only other known surviving heirs of the estate of Titus W. Murray.
00:15:01Isn't that Daddy?
00:15:04On the 14th of...
00:15:12Today's the 14th.
00:15:16Now, children, we've got to keep some secrets today.
00:15:33Huh?
00:16:03Huh?
00:16:34What?
00:16:36What?
00:17:01What do you want that for?
00:17:04Hurry up. I want to watch Uncle Ned.
00:17:07You're not supposed to.
00:17:12Hey! Look out!
00:17:17I'm coming, Uncle Ned.
00:17:35I'm coming, Aunt Clare.
00:17:38Aunt Martha.
00:17:40I'm coming, Uncle Ned.
00:18:05Really, Emily. I mean, I wish you'd kind of...
00:18:08Peter, if you don't like my driving, you may feel free to take a trolley.
00:18:12Now, wait just a minute. This was not my idea.
00:18:15I've never heard of the Murray family. What is that?
00:18:18They're our cousins, darling. It behooves us to meet them.
00:18:22All right. I mean, you know, all right.
00:18:24But remember that it was not my idea, okay?
00:18:27Of course not, darling.
00:18:29You don't have ideas, baby.
00:18:32You don't have ideas, baby Peter brother.
00:18:53What in the world makes you think this is the right road?
00:18:55It's got to be.
00:19:02Ha! There, you see?
00:19:16So...
00:19:18this...
00:19:20is it.
00:19:22I don't see any sign of, uh, what's-his-name?
00:19:25Uh, the lawyer.
00:19:29Obviously, he hasn't arrived as yet.
00:19:32The caretaker, he probably went to meet him in a horse and buggy.
00:19:49Might as well go on up.
00:19:52They'll be along any minute. Why don't we, uh...
00:19:55What's the matter, Peter? Chicken?
00:19:57Well, I just don't think it's, you know, just right to go barging in
00:20:00on somebody that you're about to sue.
00:20:02Oh, just remember, we're trying to avoid that expense...
00:20:06if possible.
00:20:08Well...
00:20:10I'll leave that up to you.
00:20:25Oh!
00:20:55Knock, knock, knock.
00:21:25Oh!
00:21:43What happened? You saw a ghost, right?
00:21:45Don't be funny!
00:21:47There was a... there was an awful...
00:21:49a...
00:21:51a baboon!
00:21:53You don't have a complete double-duck fit!
00:22:24Knock, knock, knock.
00:22:34Knock, knock, knock.
00:22:44Uh, Mr. Stalker.
00:22:46I think he means that you opened the door for me.
00:22:49Oh.
00:22:51Yes.
00:22:54What's going on here? Why have we stopped?
00:22:57They're blasting up ahead, sir.
00:22:59They're what?
00:23:03Blasting, sir, for the new highway.
00:23:06Oh. Well, better wait it out, I suppose.
00:23:09Yes, sir. They won't be long, sir, Mr. Schalker.
00:23:13The name is Schlocker, Mr. Bruno.
00:23:17Oh, please, sir. Bruno. Just plain Bruno, sir.
00:23:21Very well, Bruno.
00:23:23Uh, I want to tell you I appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
00:23:28I wasn't expecting it, frankly.
00:23:32Cooperation, sir?
00:23:34Well, yes.
00:23:36To tell you the truth,
00:23:38I was fully prepared to avail myself of the services of a marshal, should it be necessary.
00:23:43Well, thanks to your cooperation, it isn't, sir.
00:23:46I appreciate that,
00:23:49and I'll do my best to see that you're not forgotten.
00:23:52Forgotten, sir? I don't quite understand.
00:23:56Well, in the disposition of the estate,
00:24:00I firmly believe that so many years of faithful service should not go unrewarded,
00:24:05no matter how ill-advised.
00:24:08Thank you, sir.
00:24:10Now, Bruno, I'd like to ask a few questions, if you don't mind.
00:24:15Very well, sir. Go ahead, sir.
00:24:18Now, it is my understanding
00:24:20that for the past several years you have been the sole, uh,
00:24:24custodian of the three children of the late Titus W. Mary. Is that correct?
00:24:30As you say, sir. For some many years.
00:24:33And that these same three children have, uh,
00:24:36never been allowed the benefits of any sort of formal schooling?
00:24:40Oh, no, sir. The master wouldn't have allowed that.
00:24:44And, uh, professional medical care?
00:24:47On the contrary, sir.
00:24:49I assure you there have been regular and frequent visits.
00:24:52You mean they're not well?
00:24:54Well, uh, as well as could be expected, sir.
00:24:58You see, they're not, uh, ordinary children.
00:25:03Well, I'm sure we can all agree to that, Bruno, but nevertheless...
00:25:06You see, they're, uh, well, you might call them retarded.
00:25:10Retarded? Well, I should think so.
00:25:12Nearly full-grown and never a day of school.
00:25:15Walter, I don't think you understand, Mr. Shocker.
00:25:19I'm afraid you don't understand, my dear fellow.
00:25:22There are properly qualified institutions for the care of the, uh, the deprived.
00:25:28Especially when there are substantial estates to be administered.
00:25:32Uh, frankly, I find the whole affair rather shocking.
00:25:36I may add there are proper judicial remedies for such abuses.
00:25:45I don't think the master would like this.
00:25:49Come on, buddy, let's get this car out of here.
00:25:52Yes, sir.
00:25:55Come on, buddy, let's get this car out of here.
00:25:58Yes, sir.
00:26:20Ah, my dear Mr. Shocker.
00:26:23So nice to see you here.
00:26:25And the young Mr. Howe.
00:26:27Hi, Schlocker, how are you?
00:26:29Good to see you, my boy.
00:26:30Fee, this is my secretary, Miss Morris.
00:26:33Hi, Miss Morris, how do you do?
00:26:34Hi.
00:26:35Forget the rest of it, Schlocker.
00:26:38Let's go in and take a look at the place.
00:26:40Oh, yes, uh, I've been away from the children too long already.
00:26:45You just, uh, follow me and I'll show you where to park your machine.
00:26:49But if I may ask a favor, please.
00:26:53Please treat the children tactfully.
00:26:55You see, they're not accustomed to strangers
00:26:58and they might act wild if encouraged.
00:27:08Now, ladies, this is your auntie Emily
00:27:11and your uncle Peter.
00:27:13Elizabeth.
00:27:14And Virginia.
00:27:16That's two pretty names for two such pretty young ladies.
00:27:19Uh, this is Miss, uh...
00:27:21Anne.
00:27:22Anne.
00:27:24Uh, Ralph, where's Ralph?
00:27:26Ralph.
00:27:27Ralph!
00:27:28Virginia.
00:27:32Ralph! Ralph!
00:27:37Ralph! Ralph! Ralph!
00:27:46Ralph!
00:27:53Aw, he's all right, Emily.
00:27:55He's just a big kid.
00:27:57Yes, it's like you say, sir.
00:27:59He's just a big kid.
00:28:04Now, see here, Bruno.
00:28:06Uh, you don't seem to realize just how serious all this is.
00:28:10Now, these, uh, children
00:28:14are obviously in need of qualified professional care.
00:28:17Wouldn't you say?
00:28:19Well, uh, there's a great deal in what you say, sir.
00:28:22But, uh, I gave their father a solemn oath
00:28:25that I'd never allow their unfortunate malady
00:28:28to become the object of public scrutiny.
00:28:31Nonsense.
00:28:32The days when we hid our insane behind walls of shame
00:28:36went out with that old car of yours.
00:28:39They're talking about us, Virginia.
00:28:42I know.
00:28:43What a shocker.
00:28:44An oath to a dying man.
00:28:46That can't be taken lightly.
00:28:48Now, Bruno, what do you mean by malady?
00:28:51I mean, well, I've seen backward kids.
00:28:54Is it...
00:28:55Well, no.
00:28:56It's more than a retardation.
00:28:58It's sort of a regression.
00:29:01A progressive deterioration of the mental faculties.
00:29:05A rotting of the brain, so to speak.
00:29:08It, uh, begins in late childhood
00:29:12and progresses rapidly,
00:29:14ultimately resulting in physical deformity.
00:29:18Rather like the last stages of, uh, paresis.
00:29:22Really that bad?
00:29:24Yes, sir.
00:29:26The Mary family, or at least this branch of them,
00:29:30have been afflicted for generations.
00:29:33And I'm sorry to say, sir,
00:29:35I think this is the last generation.
00:29:38What a shame.
00:29:40You mean all three of these?
00:29:42Yes, sir.
00:29:44The unfortunate result of...
00:29:47inbreeding.
00:29:49Never mind that now, Bruno.
00:29:51We can go into all that at the proper time.
00:29:54Let's see. Yes.
00:29:56I would like to know the whereabouts
00:29:58of certain other members of the Mary family.
00:30:01The, uh, two sisters of Titus W. Mary
00:30:04and brother named, I believe, Nedrick Mary.
00:30:09If alive.
00:30:11Alive?
00:30:13Well, you might say so, sir.
00:30:15Come on, Bruno. Don't beat around the bush.
00:30:18Are they around or not?
00:30:20They're talking about Uncle Ned.
00:30:23I know.
00:30:25Well, it became necessary to put them in a...
00:30:28a more private sort of an institution.
00:30:31My good man.
00:30:33Are you saying that you...
00:30:36that the family chauffeur has been in sole charge
00:30:39of this entire estate
00:30:41and these minor children?
00:30:43Oh, I never thought of it that way, sir.
00:30:46You see, I promised the master that...
00:30:48Yeah, yeah, we know all about that.
00:30:50Listen, Schlocker, it's been a long trip.
00:30:52I'd like to get cleaned up
00:30:54and get off my feet for a while.
00:30:56We can go through this after dinner.
00:30:58Dinner?
00:31:00Yes, sir. It is dinner time.
00:31:02Matter of fact, Bruno, we intend to spend the night.
00:31:05No, sir. That's quite impossible.
00:31:07Why, we're not prepared for guests.
00:31:10There seems to be a difference of opinion
00:31:12as to who is the guest
00:31:14and who the host here.
00:31:19You do have food in the house, don't you?
00:31:22Why, yes.
00:31:24You see, our diet is very austere.
00:31:27I suppose we could find something.
00:31:31Yes.
00:31:33Yes, I suppose we could.
00:31:35Uh-huh.
00:31:47I smell a bug.
00:31:49A big, black, juicy...
00:32:20Help!
00:32:32I'm proud of you, Virginia.
00:32:34You're doing so well.
00:32:40Ralph, it's ready, Bruno.
00:32:42Oh, thank you, Elizabeth.
00:32:44Bring him right down.
00:32:50My dear, there's no doubt in my mind
00:32:52that we have here an absolutely clear-cut,
00:32:54prima facie open-and-shut case.
00:32:56Great.
00:32:58Now, all I want to know is,
00:33:00what does it worth in dollars and cents?
00:33:02Well, that's a little difficult to tell
00:33:04at this juncture.
00:33:06Perhaps with an audit.
00:33:08Miss Morse, give me Schedule B.
00:33:10All right here, Mr. Schlatter.
00:33:12Of course, this is only the visible part
00:33:14of the iceberg, so to speak.
00:33:16With more information, we can project the curve.
00:33:18Hey.
00:33:20Hi, Ralph.
00:33:22Emily, look at Ralph.
00:33:24He's getting all dressed up for it.
00:33:26Yes, isn't he cute?
00:33:29Ladies and gentlemen,
00:33:31dinner is served.
00:33:35Well, at last.
00:33:37Thank you, Virginia.
00:33:39That was very good, Virginia.
00:33:41Thank you.
00:33:43I'll be back.
00:33:45I'll be back.
00:33:47I'll be back.
00:33:49I'll be back.
00:33:51I'll be back.
00:33:53I'll be back.
00:33:55I'll be back.
00:33:57Very good, Virginia.
00:33:59Can I feed Winifred now?
00:34:01Oh, no, no, not now.
00:34:03Can't she wait?
00:34:05If she gets hungry, she'll go looking
00:34:07for something to eat.
00:34:09In that case, you go right ahead.
00:34:11But hurry up, hurry up.
00:34:13I will, I will.
00:34:17Hungry, Miss Morse?
00:34:19Oh, yes.
00:34:21I'm famished.
00:34:23Shall we, then?
00:34:26Here we are.
00:34:28Just sit wherever you like.
00:34:30We're not very formal
00:34:32here at Mary House.
00:34:34We haven't had guests
00:34:36in a long time.
00:34:38No, it's been a long, long time.
00:34:40I might add
00:34:42it's a great pleasure.
00:34:46You can sit down now, Ralph.
00:34:56Oh.
00:35:04Winifred.
00:35:06Winifred.
00:35:22Barney, you came back.
00:35:26Naughty Winifred.
00:35:28You didn't tell me.
00:35:30Virginia, we're waiting for you.
00:35:48Sit in your chair, Virginia, please.
00:35:56Voila!
00:36:02What
00:36:04is that?
00:36:06Well, that's rabbit.
00:36:08Obviously.
00:36:10Not bad, Bruno.
00:36:12Looks done to a turn.
00:36:14Thank you, sir.
00:36:16I hope you enjoy it.
00:36:18You know, we're very fortunate
00:36:20to have meat for our guests.
00:36:22You see, we're vegetarians.
00:36:24It's dead.
00:36:26We don't eat dead things.
00:36:29But good Lord, man,
00:36:31why on earth...
00:36:33Don't say it.
00:36:35You made a promise.
00:36:37It was no idle whim, I assure you.
00:36:39The master knew of the grave danger.
00:36:41The danger?
00:36:43Yes, Bruno.
00:36:45What is that supposed to mean?
00:36:47Well, the master believed,
00:36:49and he should know,
00:36:51that the eating of flesh
00:36:54No, I've heard everything.
00:36:56Wait a minute, Bruno.
00:36:58You mean like that old story
00:37:00about the lion cub,
00:37:02who's actually tame
00:37:04until he gets his first taste
00:37:06of fresh meat, right?
00:37:08I'm afraid it's even more
00:37:10serious than that, sir.
00:37:12Well, whatever that is,
00:37:14rabbit or whatever,
00:37:16I pass.
00:37:18Well, it looks good to me.
00:37:20Hey, I'll carve.
00:37:22Thank you, sir. Carry on.
00:37:25Oh, and I must tell you all,
00:37:27you have Ralph here to thank
00:37:29for providing us.
00:37:31Is that right? Good for you, Ralph.
00:37:35I'll, uh...
00:37:37I'll have something else.
00:37:43Thank you.
00:37:45What do you call these?
00:37:47Uh, a rare treat.
00:37:49Our favorite dish.
00:37:51They're called souffled fungi.
00:37:53What?
00:37:55Mushrooms, Slocker.
00:37:57Oh, mushrooms.
00:37:59A real staple.
00:38:01They grow profusely on the ground.
00:38:03And, uh,
00:38:05did Ralph...
00:38:07Oh, no, no.
00:38:09Virginia provided these.
00:38:11You see, she has an uncanny knack
00:38:13for picking only the, uh,
00:38:15non-poisonous one.
00:38:18Come on, Slocker.
00:38:20Let's not hog this stuff.
00:38:24There you go.
00:38:29Thank you, Uncle Peter.
00:38:33Thank you, Uncle Peter.
00:38:35Hey, Slocker, you certainly can't say
00:38:37they're not polite.
00:38:39Oh, Miss Howe,
00:38:41if you don't feel up to the heavy affair,
00:38:43perhaps you'd like to try
00:38:45some of our fresh garden greens?
00:38:47Yeah, I might.
00:38:49Here, try the salad.
00:38:55Allow me.
00:39:00This thing isn't dressed.
00:39:04It's not dressed.
00:39:06This thing isn't dressed.
00:39:16Isn't Ralph a vegetarian, too?
00:39:18Oh, yes.
00:39:20But Ralph's allowed to eat anything that he catches.
00:39:24No.
00:39:36Emily, this is very good.
00:39:38You don't know what you're missing.
00:39:40Well, as I told you,
00:39:42our diet is very austere.
00:39:44But it's most healthful.
00:39:46You know, that's great.
00:39:48I think everybody ought to eat like that.
00:39:50Oh, we have our delicacies, too,
00:39:52but they're not in season right now.
00:39:59Oh, no, no, sir.
00:40:01You wouldn't want any of that.
00:40:03Oh, no. I guess not.
00:40:21What do you think about spending the night now, Emily?
00:40:24You couldn't drag me away, Peter.
00:40:27I'm not going to drag you away.
00:40:29I'm not going to drag you away.
00:40:31You couldn't drag me away, Peter.
00:40:33Good show, my dear.
00:40:35I'm with you.
00:40:37Oh, it's like I told you, sir.
00:40:39There's nothing more to say, Bruno.
00:40:41Now, let's make things easy on yourself.
00:40:43We want to be fair.
00:40:47The sisters can move in together,
00:40:49and you and Ralph.
00:40:51Well, we might do that.
00:40:53Oh, no, no.
00:40:55It's quite impossible.
00:40:57It's too dangerous.
00:40:59This is an old building.
00:41:01The wood is rotten.
00:41:03You'd have to know your way about in the dark.
00:41:06Nonsense.
00:41:08The next thing you'll tell us, it's haunted.
00:41:10Oh, no, nothing like that.
00:41:13He means they're vampires.
00:41:15Oh, yes, and werewolves.
00:41:17Are you a horror film fan, Miss Morse?
00:41:19Oh, yes, I love it.
00:41:21Dracula, Frankenstein.
00:41:23And The Mummy?
00:41:24Oh, The Mummy.
00:41:25I love The Mummy.
00:41:28Step, scrape.
00:41:30Step, scrape.
00:41:32Oh, and The Wolfman.
00:41:36There's going to be a full moon tonight.
00:41:58Uh, Mr. Schlocker,
00:42:01I mean, if you don't need me anymore tonight,
00:42:04I could just as well stay in down...
00:42:07There's an inn in the village.
00:42:09As I see it, there are only two rooms anyway.
00:42:13Peter, if you took the car,
00:42:15do you think you could find lodgings for Miss Morse?
00:42:17Yeah, I saw a motel coming in, yeah.
00:42:20Fine, fine.
00:42:22Good idea.
00:42:24Just be sure you have her back on time, young man.
00:42:26Busy day ahead, you know.
00:42:28Don't worry.
00:42:29Thank you, Mr. Howe.
00:42:31You're welcome.
00:42:33Children, some of our guests are going to stay the night.
00:42:37Would you come help me prepare the rooms?
00:42:40Yes, Bruno.
00:42:45Spider!
00:42:50Got it.
00:42:52Got it.
00:42:54I hate spiders.
00:42:58We have lots of spiders.
00:43:03Do you like spiders, Mr. Howe?
00:43:05Oh, sure, Virginia.
00:43:07I love spiders.
00:43:09Do you?
00:43:10Would you like to play spider with me?
00:43:12Virginia, sure.
00:43:14I'll play spider with you.
00:43:16Maybe tomorrow.
00:43:18I'm sorry, Mr. Howe, that we couldn't accommodate everyone.
00:43:21But I'll be looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.
00:43:23Hey, me too, Bruno.
00:43:25Thank you very much.
00:43:29Good night, kids.
00:43:31Well, Miss Morse, we should be getting ready to start.
00:43:34I'd like that very much, Mr. Howe.
00:43:37Hello?
00:43:48This is the phoniest setup I've ever seen.
00:43:56There is something terribly wrong here.
00:43:59And I intend to find out exactly what it is.
00:44:07There we go.
00:44:12Say, it's still early, Miss Morse.
00:44:14Perhaps you'd like to have a drink at that inn in the village that Bruno mentioned?
00:44:19I'd like that very much, Mr. Howe.
00:44:21Oh, and maybe a sandwich, if you don't mind.
00:44:37Virginia.
00:44:41Virginia.
00:44:45Are you going to give Daddy good night?
00:44:47Mm-hmm.
00:44:49Elizabeth, are you scared?
00:44:52Scared of what?
00:44:54You know, those people.
00:44:58I hate them.
00:45:00You're not supposed to hate.
00:45:02You should, too.
00:45:04You should, too.
00:45:06They don't like spiders.
00:45:08I know.
00:45:12That little man looks just like a big, fat bug, doesn't he?
00:45:19Yes, he does.
00:45:25You know what I'd like to do?
00:45:29There's really lots of fun playing spider.
00:45:33Virginia.
00:45:35You bet.
00:45:48I'm coming to tuck you in, Daddy.
00:45:58Nighty-night, Daddy.
00:46:28Nighty-night.
00:46:58Good night.

00:55:11Good night.
00:55:13Good night.
00:55:15Good night.
00:55:35Now see here.
00:55:37This won't do.
00:55:39This has gone
00:55:41quite far enough. Ladies, beyond the bounds of prudence and good taste.
00:55:58I don't know what you people are up to here, but I'm going to have to call in the authorities.
00:56:06Now, there are laws. Criminal laws, I...
00:56:13Kill him! Kill him!
00:56:16No, this isn't right. There are proper procedures.
00:56:19Oh!
00:56:21Special remedies.
00:56:23These things can be litigated.
00:56:26Kill him!
00:56:36Kill him!
00:57:06Kill him!
00:57:36And now we can put him right back in his own bed, and Bruno will never even have to know...
00:57:48Please don't hate me. I didn't mean to do it.
00:57:51She made me do it. She made me do it, Bruno.
00:57:56Well, he was spying on us.
00:57:59Well, he was going to tell.
00:58:01He was going to tell on us, Bruno.
00:58:05Yes, Elizabeth, he was going to tell.
00:58:10Now, don't you worry, Virginia. I'm not going to hate you.
00:58:18I knew this was coming someday, but it's so soon.
00:58:25And you really and truly don't hate me?
00:58:30I promised your daddy I'd never, never hate you.
00:58:35You did? You ought to hate him.
00:58:39Elizabeth, I told you it isn't nice to hate.
00:58:45Children, I've got something I want to tell you, and I...
00:58:49I want you to listen very, very carefully.
00:58:56A long, long time ago, I...
00:58:59I promised your daddy that I'd take care of you and Ralph forever and ever.
00:59:07And then came this Mr. Schlacher, and he was a nasty, mean man.
00:59:15He wanted to take you away where old Bruno would never see you again.
00:59:23But you hurt Mr. Schlacher, and he can't do that now.
00:59:33But soon there'll be more Mr. Schlachers, and they'll be nastier and meaner than he was.
00:59:42You won't be able to hurt all them because there'll be too many of them.
00:59:49They can't take me away from you, Bruno.
00:59:52They can't make me go away.
00:59:56You won't let them, will you, Bruno?
01:00:00I promised your daddy I wouldn't.
01:00:03I knew you wouldn't, Bruno.
01:00:06I'm not afraid.
01:00:11Well, we didn't have much time anyway.
01:00:16Pretty soon Ralph, he'll be ready to join Uncle Ned and Aunt Clara.
01:00:25And then you...
01:00:28We want to stay here forever and ever, Bruno.
01:00:31With you and Ralph and Uncle Ned.
01:00:37We will.
01:00:39I promise.
01:00:41Forever and ever, we will.
01:00:43You know, I know where there's a nice new toy that'll do a wonderful thing.
01:00:53A toy?
01:00:54Yes, and you can stay up late just to see it.
01:00:59Can we?
01:01:00Uh-huh.
01:01:02Now, I have to go a little ways to get it, but it'll only take me a little while.
01:01:08Please don't go away, Bruno.
01:01:10I'm scared.
01:01:12It won't take but a few minutes.
01:01:15And I'll be back.
01:01:16Now, Elizabeth, I expect you to take care of your brother and sister
01:01:23and see that they don't get in any trouble.
01:01:25Will you do that?
01:01:28I will, Bruno.
01:01:42Oh, it's kind of hurt.
01:02:13Oh, my God!
01:02:20Schlocker?
01:02:21Schlocker?
01:02:22Schlocker?
01:02:24Sch... Schlocker?
01:02:28Schlocker!
01:02:36Chappelle!
01:02:42Don't let her get away!
01:03:12Don't let her get away!
01:03:42Don't let her get away!
01:04:12Don't let her get away!
01:04:19Don't let her get away!
01:04:26Don't let her get away!
01:04:33Don't let her get away!
01:04:40Don't let her get away!
01:04:47Don't let her get away!
01:04:54Don't let her get away!
01:05:04Don't let her get away!
01:05:14Don't let her get away!
01:05:22Don't let her get away!
01:05:32Don't let her get away!
01:05:42Don't let her get away!
01:05:52Don't let her get away!
01:06:02Don't let her get away!
01:06:32Don't let her get away!
01:06:42Don't let her get away!
01:06:52Cannibal spiders do.
01:07:15Bruno! Bruno!
01:07:18He doesn't sound like Bruno.
01:07:21Oh, no, it's Uncle Peter and that pretty lady.
01:07:24They've come back.
01:07:26Virginia, you mustn't hurt anyone else.
01:07:29Bruno will really hate you.
01:07:31He will not.
01:07:33Anyway, I like Uncle Peter.
01:07:35He's not like that bad man.
01:07:37All the same, they'll tell on us.
01:07:40Would they?
01:07:43Would they tell?
01:07:45Of course they'll tell.
01:07:47Bruno said there'd be others, didn't he?
01:07:51They're coming. What'll we do?
01:07:56We'll have to make a plan.
01:08:06Somebody's up and about.
01:08:08Good.
01:08:09I hope it's not that Ralph.
01:08:11Oh, Ralph's just a big kid.
01:08:13Do you really think so?
01:08:14Sure.
01:08:38Hi, kid.
01:08:41Hey, it looks as if Miss Morrison and I are going to have to spend the night here after all.
01:08:45No room at the inn, as they say.
01:08:47Good evening, Uncle Peter.
01:08:52Uh-huh.
01:08:57Uh, is Mr. Bruno about?
01:08:59No, no, he's away.
01:09:02Won't you come in?
01:09:04Yes, do come in.
01:09:07Huh?
01:09:09How about Aunt Emily? Is she around?
01:09:20There's really no need to disturb anyone.
01:09:23All righty.
01:09:24When does Mr. Bruno get back?
01:09:27He'll be along by and by.
01:09:29Now, Uncle Peter, you just make yourself right at home.
01:09:34Virginia, dear, you may entertain Uncle Peter while I take care of the pretty lady.
01:09:43Uh, it's all right.
01:09:46It's all right.
01:09:48I'm sure Elizabeth knows what to do.
01:09:53Well, if you really think so.
01:09:55Sure.
01:09:56Listen, Emily is very easy to get along with when she's asleep.
01:10:00That won't be necessary.
01:10:02And we'll have Daddy's room.
01:10:05It's really very nice.
01:10:08There you go.
01:10:09See?
01:10:11Thank you, Elizabeth.
01:10:12You're really very kind.
01:10:17Well, good night.
01:10:22See you in the morning.
01:10:24Uh-huh.
01:10:25It's awfully nice.
01:10:27This way, pretty lady.
01:10:34I'm glad you came back.
01:10:38I like you.
01:10:44I like you, too.
01:10:56You're a nice lady.
01:10:58I liked you right away.
01:11:00You're not like those others.
01:11:02Well, Virginia likes you, too.
01:11:04And Ralph?
01:11:05We all like you.
01:11:07And Uncle Peter, too.
01:11:13You'd never tell.
01:11:16No matter what Bruno says.
01:11:22You'd never tell.
01:11:24I know you wouldn't.
01:11:27I like you, pretty lady.
01:11:30Pretty lady.
01:11:53And the big black spider goes round and round and wraps the bug all up in her spiderweb.
01:12:15Virginia, what happens when the spider gets the bug all wrapped up in her web?
01:12:22Uh-huh.
01:12:23I won't tell.
01:12:25All right.
01:12:28How long's it take to play this game?
01:12:30Oh, we're almost done.
01:12:32All right.
01:12:35There now.
01:12:44Virginia?
01:12:52Hey, what's the spider do now?
01:12:55What?
01:12:56Oh, yes.
01:12:58Now the spider does a little dance for the bug.
01:13:05She has to tease it.
01:13:08And make it wiggle.
01:13:11So that its juice will taste better.
01:13:17Virginia, I think we'd better play another game.
01:13:21Uncle Peter, do you like that pretty lady?
01:13:26Yes.
01:13:27Yes, I do.
01:13:39Do you like me?
01:13:46When does Mr. Bruno come back?
01:13:49Bruno won't hate me.
01:13:50He promised.
01:13:54Spiders like bugs.
01:13:58They taste good.
01:14:05But I guess bugs don't like spiders very much.
01:14:08I like spiders.
01:14:10I like spiders.
01:14:12I do too.
01:14:14Well, I guess I have to sting you now.
01:14:21Don't do quite that.
01:14:30Virginia, what about Mr. Schlocker?
01:14:32Mr. Schlocker?
01:14:34Hey, Schlocker!
01:14:35Sting!
01:14:42Well, I have to go away for a minute.
01:14:50But I'll be right back.
01:14:54Don't go away, bug.
01:15:05What are we going to do with her?
01:15:07Ralph can't let go.
01:15:13What do you mean, what are we going to do with her?
01:15:16Don't you know?
01:15:17You made this plan.
01:15:19But I didn't have enough time to finish it.
01:15:23She wiggles just like a big squiggly bug in a spider web.
01:15:33Hmm.
01:15:35Uncle Ned could make her quiet.
01:15:37No, Bruno would be very mad.
01:15:41Anyway, Ralph likes her, see?
01:15:45We mustn't hurt her.
01:15:48Just make her quiet.
01:15:55Now, spider is very clever.
01:16:00She very cleverly drains the vital juices from the bug's body.
01:16:11And that makes the bug stop squiggling.
01:16:16Would that make her stop squiggling?
01:16:23Help me find something sharp.
01:16:54Ooh, ooh, ooh.
01:17:11Ralph?
01:17:15Hold it!
01:17:16See, I was only going to do it like a little teeny friend.
01:17:19How much did we let run out?
01:17:22Just enough to make her quiet.
01:17:24Then Ralph can play with her better.
01:17:51Ralph?
01:17:53Emily?
01:17:57Ralph?
01:17:59No, no, Emily, I'm in here.
01:18:01Me.
01:18:02Oh, you bet.
01:18:03For heaven's sake, give me a hand.
01:18:05That little fiend tied me up.
01:18:15Please, please!
01:18:20I'm coming, hold on!
01:18:44I'm coming, hold on!
01:19:13I'm coming, hold on!
01:19:42Ooh.
01:19:49Children.
01:19:56That lady hurt Ralph.
01:19:58Ralph will be all well.
01:20:00Very soon.
01:20:04I brought that wonderful surprise I promised you.
01:20:13Larry C., Larry C., what is it?
01:20:18This is a secret surprise.
01:20:47Oh, sir.
01:20:52I don't know how you got yourself into this predicament,
01:20:54but I suggest that you leave the premises as quickly as possible.
01:20:59Where's Ann?
01:21:00Ann, where's Ann?
01:21:06Ralph!
01:21:14If I were you, I'd hurry, sir.
01:21:16I'm hurrying, I'm hurrying!
01:21:28What's it going to do, Bruno?
01:21:30Well, it's going to make a big flash and go bang!
01:21:36Oh, boy!
01:21:44Lookie!
01:21:46Uncle Ned!
01:21:49Ralph!
01:21:54Ann!
