- That was great.
- Yeah, let's put it in tonight.

Yeah, just leave the rocks
out of the suitcases tonight, uh?

- Oh, I'll see you later
in my dressing room.
- Okay.

- Miss Fontaine.
- Yes?

- Telegram.
- Thank you.

Judith's voice:
"Joanie Fontaine still
reported as missing.

Sergeant Martin,
missing persons bureau."

[Typewriters clacking]

Do you think you could remember
to find your way back, miss Fontaine?

I'm afraid I lost you
on the second turn.

[Chuckles]
Have a seat.

I didn't ask you
that question to be funny,

but if you think our few
corridors are complicated,

wait till you start roaming
the back streets of Venice.

I've got to find
my sister, sergeant Martin.

You know, Joanie and I were both
orphaned for quite some time

and I'm the only one she's got.

I got the impression
when we first met

that you're just not
the kind to sit around

and wait for things to happen.

That's quite true.

Let me tell you something,
miss Fontaine...

In this case that's
the best thing you can do.

Sit around and just wait.

Here.

Your kid sister chose to live with a
bunch of hippies out near the beach.

Now it seems that
living near the water

brings out the best
and the worst in us.

There's an amusement park
just east of the pier.

It's a hang-out for pushers
and white-sl*very operators.

Oh yeah, we've still
got them around.

And you'd be surprised
just how many young girls

come out here just hoping to get
involved in all this kind of stuff.

There're some shots:

m*rder,

r*pe

and beatings.

Now maybe you ask yourself
a question...

Why do all these terrible
things have to happen?

Well, took me 21 years
of my 22 on this business

to get the answer,
and at last I have it.

What is the answer?

These people want
these things to happen.

Does that sound too simple?
Well, not really.

It's the most complicated
thing in the world.

Nobody but nobody knows anything

about the subconscious,
miss Fontaine...

Not even ourselves.

Yeah, it's a dark dark world,
miss Fontaine.

[Whimsical music playing]

Barker:
See Dr. Duryea's
creature emporium.

It's the greatest living
thing in the whole wide world.

Only 50¢ a person...




Dr. Duryea's
creature emporium...
living creatures.

See how his head is chopped off.

See the blood squirting
right out before your very eyes.

When you see this creature,
you will be so stunned

that you won't know
that you're alive.

Hey, where are we going?

This way.
Come right inside.

Hey!

You gotta have a
ticket to go in here.

All right.
We wanna buy a ticket.

"We wanna buy a ticket."
"We wanna buy a ticket."

"We wanna
buy a ticket."

One dollar.

Ha ha.

See what I do with it?

I eat it!

Let's go.

Barker:
Come right in.

Do not be afraid.

This is Dr. Duryea's
creature emporium,

before you, you will see sights

that you will not believe,

but I assure you that
each and every one of them

is true and has happened
many times in history.

But I don't even see anything.

- [Woman gasps]
- Barker: You see,

you must open your
eyes to see things.

[Chuckles]
There's more to come.

[Cackles]

[Snorting]

[Grunting]

It is only
an illusion, children.

[Panting]

It's all right.

Of course you are frightened
because this is all unknown for you.

The greatest mysteries in the
world are not mysteries at all

unless we take time
to become familiar with them.

He's really a gentle fellow.

But put that mask on him

and the whole world will
gladly turn against him.

I have this exhibit unattended
for several reasons.

I believe we all
should experience life

with a natural spontaneity.

And this can only happen
if there are no restraints.

Do you agree?

The Romans had
their circus Maximus

seating over 200,000,

but their spectacles
were no more bizarre

than that which I can
conjure up for you right here.

Now look here.

- [Retches]
- Now look there.

- Man, that sure looks real.
- True... all illusions look real

or they wouldn't
be illusions, would they?

Man, that place would
give anybody the creeps.

Poor baby, you're
afraid of everything.

Yeah.

Come on, let's get ready
for the big protest tonight.

What are we protesting tonight?

I don't know
but I'll bet it's fun.

Well, Groton,
I see you've arranged

the tables correctly this time.

What about the temperature?

Have you tested it
to the exact degree?

You heard them up there, Groton.

They want to see an illusion.

They do not realize
that reality itself

is the grandest illusion of all

and that human
blood is the essence

from which future
illusions may be created.

But the secret is not to
have the blood at rest.

No, the circulatory system

must experience
a traumatic shock...

One that is inconceivable
to the human mind.

The idea of trauma
is not a new one.

But I am sure

I am the first such experimenter

to incorporate the horror
of an actual decapitation

with the later rejuvenation
of a human body.

My, it's remarkable...

A few scars...

Scars that with time
will dissolve away...

Nothing more.

Had she not be drugged
into a surface somnolence,

she could walk away from us now

as though nothing had
happened on that fateful night.

But of course we cannot
allow that to happen.

No, not until enough of the
serum has been made and tested.

Oh, she's a lucky
young woman, Groton.

We have desperate
need of her blood.

She has survived decapitation

and is manufacturing the right
type of vital fluid for us.

We are not butchers, Groton.

We don't have
this young lady here

to merely drain her body
and cast her aside.

No.

We are scientists

and we must have
others to experiment with.

You understand that, Groton?

And you also understand

what must happen
to you once again?

Now, Groton, on with the
work we must continue tonight.

[Panting]

[Mutters]

[Mutters]

[Panting]

I have my tools, Groton.
You have yours.

[Clangs]

Don't wander away from the pier.

We all wait for you, Groton.

Walk silent

and walk well.

Dr. Duryea,
I presume.

I hope your busy
schedule will allow me

a brief visit with you.

What do you want?

It's late
and my exhibit is closed.

And how did you
get in here anyway?

All that is unimportant, doctor.

You see, I know your secret.

There are ways we
can help each other.

All right.

Come into the light
and we'll talk?

Pleasant surroundings.

That sounds like peculiar
conversation for a man

who is the last living member
of the family of Frankenstein,

is it not,
Dr. Duryea?

Or should I say Frankenstein?

I am too old

and too sick

to be interested or
surprised by anything.

But when a man
comes into my house

and casts no
reflection on my mirror

and upon his hand wears
the unholy crest of Dracula...

There is no scientific answer

to anything.

Now what is on your mind,

count Dracula?

Dr. Frankenstein,

I know you were raised
by the Duryea family.

Before your crippling accident

you were discredited by
members of the medical institute

because of your real
family's background...

Cut short a rather
brilliant career...

But your mind
and surgeon's skill

were meant to fulfill
the Frankenstein dream

and to infuse life into that
artificially-created man,

the likes of which
civilization will never forget.

You cannot escape your destiny,

just as I cannot escape mine.

What you say is very true.

Very true.

If only I had a way to get
the power I should have,

I'd show those fools out there

who think of me only
as a carnival freak and...

And get your revenge on Drs.
Beaumont, Stedmen and Marky

who ruined your career
and caused the accidental fire

which crippled
you as you are now.

Yes yes...

Yes, it's all clear now.

They were the ones.

But what does this mean to you?

I have in my
possession the remains

of the original
Frankenstein monster,

put to rest in Oakmoor cemetery

by one of a group of scientists

whose experiments with
the monster were cut short

by an epidemic
which plagued this area

many many years ago.

The only remaining scientist

had secretly buried the monster
hoping to resume his experiments

at a later date.

He also was the man
who discredited you

for fear that you had knowledge
of his work with the monster...

Dr. Beaumont.

Beaumont.

When Groton returns,
he will be...

Relax, doctor.

I will give you orders

and you will follow them.

You don't frighten me.

I live beyond fear.

I think you will find

that working with me will be

a more intelligent
decision, doctor.

We cannot wait.
I will help you now.

We must prepare
your laboratory for him.

The monster.

Yes.
And all those

who would meddle
in the destinies

of Frankenstein and Dracula

will see an infernal blood bath

the likes of which has
not swept the earth before.

Laura, you're gonna
have to learn to relax.

I am relaxed. I wish you
wouldn't keep saying that.

Oh, I love to have you
in my arms like this.

I like to think of you
as belonging to me.

Oh, come on, will you?

The second time
you've done that tonight.

I hear it again...

Like a huge dog
prowling the beach.

Oh, he's probably
looking for his mate.

And I've found mine.

[Grunting]

Bob, I don't want
to stay here any longer.

All right.

All right.

The first thing you said
when I picked you up tonight is

you were tired of being
in a crowd, right?

You wanted to go
someplace quiet and alone.

So I blow a dollar on gas,
we come all the way out here.

You know what's the matter
with you, don't you?

It's that damned
imagination of yours.

Hey, wait a minute.

[Louder grunting]

- I hear it coming too.
- Oh, don't listen to it.

Let's get out of here.

Just bring me some coffee.

Rico... talk to you a minute?

Rico:
What's going on?

- Which one?
- Over at the table.

Oh, yeah.

What does she want?

She's looking for some broad.

[Thunder rumbles]

[Electricity buzzing]

[Electricity crackling]

Dr. Frankenstein,

your scientific
skill has not failed us.

We will make the monster walk.

He was born with the
electrical fury of the heavens

when the Zornov comet
passed over the earth.

Tonight at 11:29

the comet returns,

completing the
monster's first life cycle.

Soon he will be born again.

We must work quickly.

The Zornov comet has returned.

[Electronics warbling]

[Electricity buzzing]

Dr. Beaumont,

tonight you shall
meet an old friend.

[Mutters]

Who are you?

Keep driving.
I will tell you where.

- Who are you?
- I am known

as the count of darkness,

the lord of the
manor of Corpathia.

Turn here.

Get out of the car,
Dr. Beaumont.

An old friend of yours,
eh, doctor?

You'll see that
Frankenstein and I

have made some improvements.

[Snickers]

[Beaumont grunting]

['70s music playing
softly on radio]

[Sighs]

You feeling better?

Somebody thought you
were a cop, slipped you a drug.

You were in another world.

Who are you?

- Where am I?
- My name is Mike Howard.

This is my pad.

Who are you?

I'm Judith.

No last name?

- Did you want one?
- No, not necessarily.

Let me see if I can guess.

Oh, I see the same
turn in the nose,

the full upper lip.

- You know Joanie.
- I knew Joanie.

I don't know where she is now.

You know, no one here
will talk about anyone.

It's a kind
of self-preservation.

Between urban renewal and the
country welfare department,

we get bombarded
with questions in relays.

Your ears get
curled on the inside.

What do you mean
you knew Joanie?

What I mean is in this part of town,
everyone knows everyone

- in one way or another.
- But how did I get here?

Come on, I won't hurt you.

They brought you here.
That's Samantha.

She goes with that
goofy-looking kid over there.

He's strange. That's his name...
Also classification.

- You sound rather cynical.
- Not a bit.

It's just an observation.

That's my bag. I make
observations for later replay,

like the football game on TV.

Man:
Hey, Mike!

They found a guy chopped up
down at rocky point!

It was all in bloody
bits and pieces!

- What are you talking about?
- They never found his
girlfriend though.

Guy can't make out
in peace anymore.

Man, it's a real bummer.

It's not usually this gory
on the premises.

- Maybe we'd better go inside.
- No, wait.

Just a little bit
more fresh air.

Okay, come on.

Like I told you,
she didn't say much.

We saw her on the beach
about six months ago.

That's just about
the time she left home.

This section of the beach draws
a lot of weary, conscious people.

They can take those deep breaths
they've been dreaming about.

Joanie was up
by the amusement park.

That was the big attraction.

The big attraction?

She used to have
fantasies about...

About being a freak.

A freak?
Oh, I can't believe that.

Two heads, an eye missing,

an elongated spine...
anything that was grotesque,
it turned her on.

Well, that... that's not
the whole story.

The idea was

to turn into something beautiful

by using some magical formula.

That's why she used to

hang around
that creature emporium.

What in the world
is a creature emporium?

A leftover from the
sidewalk carnival days,

run by a Dr. Duryea.

At least,
that's the name he uses.

You mean this place
is a house of freaks?

Oh, everything's phony.
It's strictly for the tourists.

On the other hand, I suppose

it all depends on what
you're really looking for.

Joanie was looking
for her own special fantasy.

This just doesn't
sound like Joanie.

So we greet the world
of Dr. Duryea.

It's nothing
but a cheap sideshow.

I told you it's strictly
for the tourists.

Mike, I don't want
to go in there.

There's nothing I can find out
about Joanie in a place like that.

Rule number one about
observation collecting:

Never take a situation
at face value.

What you see
is not what really is.

Better get out his pipe
and slippers, Sam.

- He's showing his age again.
- You two better be careful.

- The doctor may be casting today.
- Don't you let him touch me.

- What about me?
- You know how to go invisible.

Only from the waist down.

Strange:
Wonder where that little scary
guy is that takes the tickets.

Samantha:
Maybe he's out to lunch.

Yeah, I can just
imagine what he's eating.

Exhibit recording:
Welcome to the creature emporium.

My name is Dr. Duryea,

and I am the creator of all
you are about to witness.

It's like listening to
dial-a-prayer on the telephone.

Please follow my voice
to the first platform.

Mike, we didn't come here

to hear a recording
of some doctor's voice.

I've never been
in this place before.

Maybe there isn't
any Dr. Duryea.

Strange:
Mike, take my word for it.
He's around.

The guillotine was invented

by a French physician
educated at a Jesuit college.

As a deputy
to the national assembly,

he proposed that decapitation

be adopted as the method
of capital punishment

in order to make executions

as swift and painless as possible.

Of course, there is no way
we are able to determine

if the method
is entirely painless,

but we certainly know
by observation

that the entire
procedure is swift.

If this had been
an actual demonstration,

you would have noted
the extreme lack of blood.

Sounds like he
enjoys every word of it.

Look, Mike, there are wires
all over the place.

This whole exhibit
must be mechanical.

Maybe you were
right about Dr. Duryea.

And what is right
about Dr. Duryea?

Oh, I'm... I'm... I'm sorry.

I didn't know
there was anyone about.

I am everywhere,
particularly in this room,

since all of these creatures
are byproducts of my mind.

I'm afraid we came here
for another reason, doctor.

My sister visited
your exhibit...

Many young people come here

to study to
mysteries of the occult.

- ...and now she's missing.
- Missing?

Yes, she was last seen on
the beach right by your very exhibit.

Oh, I see.

I have a picture of Joanie.

The face is not familiar to me.

I know she's been here
in the past, doctor.

Many people come here

to study the exquisite
work of Dr. Duryea.

Afterwards, their faces
all blend in my mind.

However, you may leave
your address at the box office

and I will contact you
immediately if she reappears.

[Exhibit ape howls]

He was right about
being all over the place.

Did you see his eyes when
I showed him the picture of Joanie?

- Yeah, I saw his eyes.
- He knows Joanie.

- I just know it.
- What he knows

and what he'll talk about
are two different things.

According to latest research,

the male gorilla
may attain a height of six feet.

Hey, do we have to
listen to Dr. Doolittle again?

I think we've had it.

It is interesting to note

the canine teeth of the female

are not developed into tusks.

Yeah, that's real interesting,

especially if you're going
with a female-type gorilla.

Hey, Samantha!
Look, a tire!

Samantha:
You're on that kick?

Oh, but it's got meaning!
Everything's got meaning.

You're dreaming again, strange.

Hey, Samantha, fetch.

Hey, baby, where you
been keeping yourself?

Why don't you cut out, Rico?

I've pulled myself
out of the sewer.

I don't think she likes us.
I think I'm gonna cry.

Let me tell you something, baby:

Nobody leaves us.
Do you understand?

I think you've been around
these squares long enough.

I need myself a new chick today,

so hop on the back
and we'll cut out of here.

- You all right, Sam?
- [Thug chuckles]

Hey, look at the hero.

Ain't he cute?

Leave him alone.

Hey, that's a nice lookin'
piece you got there.

Okay, baby,
you want it this way,

but next time...

Well, you'll see.

Come on, you guys,
let's make it.

Well, I see you've moved
into our neighborhood.

Sergeant Martin, did you
see those motorcyclists?

Yeah, that's just part
of the environment.

Well, they almost
attacked Samantha.

Samantha? She knows
how to take care of herself.

I can't believe the police
would say a thing like that.

The police aren't
saying it, miss Fontaine.

I'm saying it.
This is my area.

I know it.
People like to play games,

and pretty soon
you know what they are.

You learn when to leave
something alone or break it up.

What do you know
about Dr. Duryea?

Well, now are you trying
to play detective again?

No, I'm just trying
to find my sister.

I told you to leave
that to me, miss Fontaine.

- Cop: Lieutenant?
- That'll be something important.

If you've got a fireplace,
burn some wood in it.

It'll be a lot better than running
around loose on the streets.

Miss Fontaine, stay away
from the beaches.

There's a maniac running loose.

[Liquid draining]

Duryea:
Yes, you're seeing it

coming into being now, Groton.

The final stages of the
adrenaline molecular structure.

The traumatic shock

which has vibrated
through these bodies

has now been tempered,

tempered to an even rhythm.

The blood has reversed
through the pulmonary artery.

We are all going through changes

of having the same blood.

It is following
throughout all our bodies.

We shall soon become
more and more as one.

Soon perhaps
we will even look as one.

Your cure is here.
I promised.

I promised you that,

but I must have the
full force of the serum first.

I can no longer
remain in this wheelchair.

I'm chained to it.

I need to feel the
earth beneath my feet.

Without that, Groton, none of
you will experience a normal life.

[Groton panting]

What is it, Groton?

I've not given you your shots

for transformation
for the past 24 hours.

You should not be experiencing

any forms of metamorphosis.

I will not have that, Groton.

No, I cannot have you
work with me like this.

Your only quest
in this form is for blood.

You're forcing me,

forcing me to give you
a portion of the serum, Groton.

You forced me
because of your weakness.

Because of your weakness,
we will lose a measure of the serum.

I will not
help you again, Groton.

Not again.

Mike, I've been thinking
about what you said before.

About what?

Oh, about Joanie being
old enough to live by herself.

Are you giving up?

No, I'm not giving up.

Just giving Joanie something
she's always needed...

Her freedom from a big sister
who thinks she knows

what's right and what's wrong.

I'm sure Joanie
will thank you for that,

but maybe there's something
else you don't know about.

Something else?

I've been thinking about
everything that's happened.

I may have come
up with a new idea.

Everything that's
happened in the last week

is centered around
the amusement park.

And the only amusement that
extends out onto the beach

is Dr. Duryea's
creature emporium.

You mean the place where
Joanie got her parchment?

Yeah, and who knows what else?

Then Duryea is the answer.

Well, not the complete answer.

There's a couple
things I want to check on

that may give us
enough information

to force Duryea
to tell us about Joanie.

[Screaming, shrieking]

This has gotta be
some kind of a gag.

Drop her.

Stop or I'll sh**t.

[g*nshots]

[Gasps]
Oh, Mike.

Oh, thank god it was you.

Oh, I was scared to death.

You shouldn't be out here alone.

I know, but I just got tired

of waiting for you to come back.

Did you find out
anything about Duryea?

Sure, I found out
he's a doctor all right,

but I still don't trust him.

Come on, let's check
the pier under his exhibit.

Be careful, Mike.

We should be under
the creature emporium by now.

This could be what
we've been looking for.

- What is it?
- The panel this
chain's attached to

doesn't seem
to match the others.

If I'm right, it could
open like a trapdoor.

If I'm right about that,
I'm right about Dr. Duryea.

Come on, Mike. I don't want
to stay here anymore.

- Come on, let's go.
- Okay, we'll go...

If I can figure out what
we're gonna do about it.

Mike, do you really
believe what you just said?

I believe the doctor
is a collector of humans.

Oh, that's horrible.

I also believe
he's trapped in that...

Trapped in his wheelchair

and somebody...

Or something
does his work for him.

But what about that
trapdoor we just saw?

Easy exit for the hunter.

Mike, we just met the man.
I know he's strange,

but he's not mad.

How do you... how do you
recognize madness?

Of all the aspects in a man,

madness can be the
most impossible to observe.

But there's nothing
we can do without proof.

We'll get proof.

Mike, why are
you doing all this?

Rico.

No.

What are you so surprised for?

I told you nobody quits me.

[Chuckles]

[Laughs]

Ha!
[Laughs]

Rico! Rico!
Please help me.

Please help me!

[Sobbing]
Rico!

[th*gs laughing]

Oh, don't hurt me please!

- Rico!
- [th*gs chuckle]

[Sobbing]
No.

Rico.

Help me, Rico.

- Well, you gave yourself
to that flower freak, huh?
- No.

It's all right. I just knocked
the pollen out of him.

- No!
- I hope you saved a little
for my friends here.

Hey, baby, you're
in the sandpit...

And are you gonna enjoy it!

It's nice and warm.

And you got your tum-tum
up against something.

[Laughs]

Rico!
No, Rico, no!

- [Groton growling]
- No, Rico!

Oh no!

- [Faint clanking]
- Did you hear that?

It sounded like
a chain unwinding.

Oh, Mike, let's not
talk about that again.

I heard it before, Judith,

but now I think
I know what it is.

- You stay here.
I'll be right back.
- Mike.

- Mike, don't go without me.
- Don't argue with me.

Just stay here.
I'll be back.

Mike, I just couldn't stay
there by myself anymore.

Mike, that's just about where
we were standing over there.

I know.

I could swear
I saw something here.

- What do you think it was?
- Looked like somebody trying
to pull themselves up...

Unless I'm starting
to imagine things.

What is it?

Samantha's locket.

Oh, Mike, no.

I'm gonna get in
there and find her and...

- Nothing's gonna stop me.
- Mike, we've just gotta
get some help.

This way, ladies and gentlemen.

Dr. Duryea's
creature emporium.

Stop! Hey you! You gotta
have a ticket to get inside this!

- Not for what I want.
- You gotta have a ticket!

You're big!
You can do that

to a little man, you wise guy!

But I won't be this way
very long! I'll get you.

Your friend waits
for you inside.

- My friend?
- Yes, of course.

Grazbo knows and sees.

Do not fear me.

I am a little man,
of no use to anyone.

- Then you have seen my friend.
- Yes yes, of course.

He's waiting for you inside.

[Cackling]

You wish to
see Dr. Duryea?

I've seen your
phony exhibit, Duryea.

Now I want to see
what you have down below.

- Mike!
- What... get up here.

Be quiet.

Listen.

Back this way.

At least this'll be ready
for us when we wanna leave.

He's making it too easy.

- This time, you wait.
- Mike, I've got to know
what's down there.

Mike!
Mike, it's Joanie.

Duryea on intercom:
Your sister... alive and well.

You see, you are not
visiting a monster's lair.

Joanie, are you all right?

She has experienced

a most remarkable
scientific venture,

but as you see, she is well

-and no harm has come to her.
- Why are you showing
us all this, Duryea?

Because I want you to understand

why you have been chosen

to participate
in my experiments.

Again, you must understand:

You are not trapped,

but rather you will
be spiritually released

by what will occur
in the next few moments.

Like millions of others,

you believe
what you see before you

as an uncontested fact.

A moment ago, you witnessed

the claiming of another
being for my experiment.

S-Samantha.

She is well, but because
of what she witnessed...

The destruction of three
young men who wished her harm...

She produced a remarkable
cellular conversion.

Her blood has
the exact components

necessary to complete my serum.

I never thought such
an alteration was possible

at such a short period of time,

but it happened.

It happened. And now
I know it can happen again.

You two are
lovers quite obviously.

And when you witness
the sudden death of your lover,

the traumatic shock

will draw the
reservoirs of blood

into a single electric stream.

You will feel yourself
lifted to a new plateau.

And this physical resurrection

will be the beginning
of a new life for yourself

and for others...

Mainly my friends here.

[Screams]

Grazbo:
Yeah, wise guy!

You're not so big now, are you?!

You're gonna get yours!
[Cackling]

[Grunting]

Groton, they've hurt
our friend Grazbo.

They must all die.
They must all die!

Judith, get out of here! Get help!

Groton, get the girl!
Stop her!

Get the girl!

What about Samantha?
Something must've happened to her.

We're gonna check the emporium.

I got a hunch
she might be there.

Don't forget we found those
three bodies underneath it. Come on.

[Clicks]

- Sergeant.
- Yeah?

On the roof,
is that Judith up there?

I don't know for sure.

Sergeant, find
a way to the roof.

We'll check out this side.

[g*nshots]

I'm afraid your
quest for knowledge

must end tonight.

Your interference

is going to prove
very costly to you.

Your fear will fully energize

the molecular
structure of your blood.

[Screaming]

The monster will enjoy draining
out every bit of warm fluid!

This is your
last stop this evening,

your very last stop.

You are responsible

for the death
of Dr. Duryea,

last of the Frankensteins.

I am Dracula.

The serum he perfected

would've rendered me invincible.

But do not worry,

it will not be long

before I get all
I need of that serum.

When I do, I will return

with a league
of living vampires,

an indestructible
army of the undead.

Nobody will stop me then.

Nobody will stop me then.

No, him!

Him! No!

[Both grunting]

Him!

[Gasps]

My coffin awaits

your becoming
immortal in its embrace.

[Moaning]

[Screaming]

Now you will join me

in the world of the living dead.

[Screams continuing]

Judith: No!

No.

[Monster growling]

Stop! Stop or I'll
destroy you piece by piece

as Dr. Frankenstein
created you.

I must escape the burning sun!

I must get back to my coffin!

[Rooster crows]

[Gasping]
