- You will hear me now,
you good men of Lancashire,
and you will remember my
words to your dying day.
Yay, they will be pondered
upon by yours sons
and the sons of your sons,
until the last star gutters from the sky.
They will ponder my words
until they gibber in madness
and remember onto their unhallowed graves
the curse I now lay upon the Stuarts.
MacEntire Stuart!
Upon the Walpurgis Night,
but two years past,
you swore your soul onto the covenant
with my lord, Satan.
Whereby he has granted
you riches and power
a royal monarch might covet.
Yes you have most vilely
forsworn your own blood oath
and foully betrayed your
comrades of the coven.
You it was who lead two of our brethren
to buy freedom with our betrayal.
(ominous music)
Those who followed you
were foolish and weak,
worth no more than our contempt.
It is you who will be held to
account for your denial of us
and of our covenant!
Be it known to you, MacEntire Stuart,
and to those of your
blood throughout eternity.
The mark of my lord Satan
will be with you always!
There is no inch nor end
on all the earth where you
can flee our vengeance.
You stand forever a
cursed, MacEntire Stuart!
You and all you may beget
from Kingland's Courtyard
to the very gates of Hell!

- [Man] Wow man, if the chicks
are gonna have a book drive,
they oughta be big enough
to push the barrels.
- Come on you guys, we need those books.
- The way they're going,
we'll have 18 guys at the convention.
- The Diary of a Witch.
The Exorcism of Witches.
The Truth About Witchcraft.
(register cranking)
Hey, Alan, that's funny.
You don't look like a witch.
Are you on some kind of a
Halloween trip in March?
- It's a real trip all right.
- You know Mac Stuart.
- Your psychology prof.
Sure, he's faculty
sponsor of our book fair.
- He's got us all
involved with this stuff.
Ouija boards, tarot cards.
Witches, graphology, the whole bit.
- What for?
- We're studying the psychology
of superstition this term.
You know, way back to the pagans
and how they worshiped fire and water
and how it grew into various
kinds of belief in magic.
You'd be amazed at how many
people believe in it now.
Anyway,
it's an interesting subject.
- It sounds great. What do you do?
- Outside of class has sort of turned into
a half party, half seminar once a week.
For kicks, mostly, but
we do learn a few things.
We're meeting up at Mac's place tonight.
Well, better do my homework
and see what's new in the witch world.
Ricky, is Jill still here?
- Yeah, I think she's in
the back room sorting books.
Hey, is this thing opened to anyone?
Can I come?
- Sure, I don't think Mac would mind.
About 8 o'clock.
Mac furnishes beer but
if you want hard stuff,
you'll have to bring your own.
- How about that?
A spook seminar.
- Oh hi, fellas.
Thanks a lot.
- Come on, Jill, you don't have
to drag barrels around too.
- That's pretty good timing.
- As usual.
Whenever you need a strong,
handsome, muscular yo-yo
to do the heavy work--
- Oh silly.
Gee, what a deal we've
gotten ourselves into.
I never knew there was so many books.
- Tell me about it.
- Everyone's been just terrific.
We've got so many books now
we don't know what to do
and there's a truck out now
making even more pickups
at the fraternity houses.
- Looks like you've got it
made for the convention.
- We might be able to send
a couple of alternates.
- Mac said to come on up about eight.
You want me to pick
you up here or at home?
- Just look at this mess,
Alan, we won't be finished here
until who knows when.
Honestly, I never knew
books were so dirty.
- You been reading a few?
- Oh, come on, you idiot.
- Why don't you sort this stuff out
when you get to the hall?
Seems like a lot of trouble this way.
- Not really.
Actually, it's much easier this way.
We can't get into the hall
until a day before the book fair
and this way we can just move it all over
and set it up in no time.
- Well, what's the plan for tonight?
- I'll tell you what,
let me meet you up there.
I can get there about
8:30, nine at the latest.
- Okay.
See you later.
(eerie music)
- [Woman] Hey, Jill.
If you wanna read them, you buy them.
Right now, let's get with it
or we'll never get out of here.
- Okay, I'll buy it.
- To an experienced and gifted palmist,
it's obvious that you're
a warm, sensitive,
but somewhat flighty young woman.
(giggling)
With much to offer a man
who masters you firmly.
Now this line here,
this means you're gonna
be marred five times
and have eight children.
- There might be something to it, Harry.
Come on, let me do yours.
- Quick moving it.
- I'm not moving it.
- Somebody is.
- If you are a Sagittarius,
you're probably gonna go bald.
It's a fire sign and it's
guaranteed to burn your hair off.
Alan, hi, come on in and join the party.
- Hi, how are you?
- Excuse me.
- Mac, you know I thought
you were putting us on
when you first brought this up,
but there really is a big
thing about witchcraft.
- Find something interesting?
- Are you kidding?
There are volumes of this
stuff at the book store.
I haven't even made it
over to the library yet.
Here's what I picked up this afternoon.
- Let's see.
I should've mentioned
Anderson to you right away.
- Oh?
Is he any good?
- Very.
I worked on a project with
him at Duke several years ago.
The last I heard, he got a research grant
to look into the Stonehenge thing.
- How about this one?
- Well, I suppose you oughta read that,
just for kicks though, it's pure junk.
I haven't read this yet.
It's fascinating.
The literature on exorcism is enormous.
In everything that I have read,
the thing that gets to me is
that those who cast out witches
suffer terribly themselves.
You wouldn't believe they're
supposed to be the good guys.
- Go ahead, read it.
I've got plenty to keep
me busy for awhile.
- Come on, let's get a beer.
(somber rock music)
- I see a dark haired man
who means trouble for you
in the near future.
In fact, he could change your whole life
for the worse.
His name seems to start with P.
- Dean Pritchard.
You bet your sweet you-know-what
he means trouble for me.
Wait till he gets a look
at my midterm grades.
You don't need the cards to tell that.
Come on, Mary Beth, get to the good part.
What about sex?
Will I get married before
the dean bounces me?
You know, what do they say?
Do you see romance in my life?
- Hey, cut it out.
- I like my chicks dumb, baby,
but you really are something else.
I mean, if you want romance in your life
you don't have to ask her.
Let's just split and head for the grove.
I'll show you all the romance you can use.
If that's what you wanna call it.
- Oh, Harry, can't you ever
think of anything else?
- Hey, you're late.
- Where's Mac?
- Hi, baby.
Sure wouldn't have been
a party without you.
- Hi, Sam.
Mac, wait till you see what I've got.
Listen, we can have our own
black magic sort of thing.
Honestly, I've got it all right here.
- Let me see.
- Oh no, just call the
class over, professor,
and you can be surprised
with everybody else.
- Harry?
Harness your resounding
baritone, will you?
Call this gang to attention for a minute.
- Oh sure, Mac.
Now here this, you guys.
Hey, shut up!
Mac wants to say something.
- Ladies and gentlemen,
one of our circle of adults
has brought us something which she feels
is of overpowering interest
to serious students of the black arts.
Miss Jill Littleton.
(people applauding)
- It's a magic book.
I mean, a book full of real magic,
with spell and curses and enchantments.
They spell it in...
They call it "enchontments."
Well, they spell it funny like Chaucer.
Well, it's even got recipes
with spiders and toads
and bat's blood.
But it's all real.
It's all written out in
the spooky old script.
It must be a thousand years old.
- [Girl] Let me see.
- [Guy] What is it?
- Boy, it sure smells funny.
- [Jill] It's old, all right.
- [Guy] A measure of powdered aconite
grinded with the ashes of
three toads and a newt.
- [Girl] What's a newt?
(people laughing)
- Mac, is this thing for real?
- Certainly seems to be.
(people laughing)
- [Girl] That's really interesting.
- You haven't heard the best part yet.
There's even a spell we can do.
I mean, we can work it ourselves, tonight.
Right now.
Of course, there's some
things here I never heard of,
like belladonna.
(laughing)
Aconite.
Powdered bat's wings.
(laughing)
Wait, but this one.
"Enchantment for the
summoning forth of witches."
Isn't it fabulous?
Well, shall we try?
It doesn't seem to take very much.
Seven candles, a sprig of rosemary.
Do you have some, Mac?
I suppose we could use the powdered kind.
How much powder makes a sprig.
(laughing)
Cup of wine.
How about it?
Who's ready to summon a witch?
(people laughing)
- Hey, if this thing works,
I get first dibs on her.
This school could use some new talent.
- Oh, Harry, that's terrible.
- [Jill] Hey Mac, can we
use that table over there?
- Sure.
Come on, Sam, come on.
Outside.
That's good.
- [Alan] Hey Mac, witches
don't go for crucifixes.
Can you do something with that?
- Alan, put this cross
in my desk, will you?
- Okay, everybody.
I'm going to read the
invocation and then the rune.
Witches rune, that's some kind of a poem.
When I get to that part,
pass the cup around counterclockwise.
Like that.
- Hey, that means my way.
Hand it over, Ricky.
- Come on, Harry.
We've gotta take this seriously
or it's not gonna work.
Okay everybody, are we ready?
(people giggling)
Harry!
"Hear ye, mighty one.
"Oh great mother, high
priestess of the devil,
"called among men since time and memorial,
"Artemis, Diana,
"Arian, Rob.
"Names that were death,
uttered with mortal lips.
"Harken, harken to us, your children
"and manifest to us your awesome presence.
(eerie music)
"East and west
"and south and north.
"Harken to our earthly cry.
"Tho thou sleeps,
"thou never dies,
"ren thy vail and show thee forth.
"With this cup we seal our vow.
"None without this circle goes.
"Take our pledge, come to us now.
(eerie music)
"From the farthest pit in hell,
"thou awaited long this hour.
"Summon forth thy priestess powers.
"Source of mysteries, speak
"until."
(ominous music)
- [Harry] Well don't say
it hasn't been fun, kids,
but I really don't think she's coming.
(group laughing)
- Maybe we did something wrong.
- Maybe powdered rosemary won't work.
- [Girl] No, but it sure
makes the wine taste funny.
- [Harry] Hey, turn on
the lights, somebody.
I'm ready for another beer.
- [Girl] You're always
ready for another beer.
- Don't take it so hard, honey.
It's just for kicks and everyone had fun.
Come on, cheer up.
(pleasant radio music)
- Hail, oh queen of the night.
Oh high priestess of the mysteries.
Except this small libation
from your unworthy servant.
- Jill, what's the matter?
Are you all right?
- Hey, Jill, come look at this a minute.
- What do you suppose this means, Jill?
It says you must put
an athame on the alter
for consecration rights of priestesses.
- It's a ritual knife.
All witches carry them.
MacEntire.
- How did you know that?
I shortened the name but
all the men in my family
have been called
MacEntire for generations.
How'd you know?
(somber radio music)
- Oh yeah, too much.
- Hey, did you see that
effigy bit in the book?
You know, pins in the wax figures?
Hey,
couldn't you darling loves just make
one tiny little effigy of the dean
and get me off the hook exam week?
(laughing)
- Hey, did you see what Mary
Beth was doing under the table
during the seance?
- Oh Harry,
that wasn't Mary Beth.
(laughing)
(people chattering)
(thunder rumbling)
(dog barking)
(buzzing)
(screaming)
- Harry, you nut!
Could you help me get this ice out?
Oh.
(laughing)
- Hey, baby.
You're the sexiest witch caller I know.
How about let's get out of here
and put the top down and go witch hunting?
- Impotent lackwit.
Pandering despicable wretch.
(somber radio music)
- Come one, honey.
Don't think you blew it just because
some genie didn't come out of a bottle.
The red book is something.
I'd like to spend some time studying it.
Where do you suppose it came from?
- Apan.
It's the Red Book of Apan.
- What?
- Nevermind.
Is this my home?
- Come off it, Jill.
Cut it out, "Is this my home."
Stop faking around, being mysterious.
You know where we are.
- Thank you.
- Look.
What's gotten into you?
Can't I come in?
- Why?
- Okay.
Okay, just forget it.
I'll pick you up tomorrow.
(engine rumbling)
- Sam, come on in.
(whistling)
(thunder rumbling)
Stay out, you dumb dog.
(thunder rumbling)
Jill.
What on Earth are you doing here?
(Jill chuckling)
- What on Earth.
We must talk.
- Talk, now?
It's after midnight.
Where's Alan?
- Oh, no matter.
It's you I want.
- Me?
Look, Jill,
if there's something you
want to talk to me about,
it can wait.
(chuckling)
- One acquires an almighty
thirst in 321 years,
MacEntire Stuart.
Or has it been 322?
- I think that's about enough, young lady.
- I have spent three centuries in Hell
waiting to meet you again.
We have much to do, you and
I, and we will begin at once!
- What's gotten into you, Jill?
(giggling)
- Surely you realize that I'm not Jill.
I am Margaery of Jordman,
born 1618,
died by the rope, 1648.
- Okay.
Not a bad performance.
- I should think a Stuart of Enverham,
even as remote of the line as you,
should know of our kinship at a glance.
Or have you lost your powers so soon?
- All right, very good.
Now run along and tell
the kids that it worked.
I'm really spooked.
Unfortunately, I am also very tired.
- Where's your dog?
- Sam? In the yard.
- He's dead.
- Dead?
- Quite.
In the garden.
- Sam?
Come on in.
(whistling)
(clapping)
- Near the roses.
(thunder rumbling)
- What the hell is going on here?
He's dead.
Who did it?
- He annoyed me.
- He annoyed you?
(thudding)
(eerie music)
- Take care, MacEntire.
I become annoyed easily.
Now you will sit and you will listen.
My liege lord, James the first of England,
saw fit to have me hanged
as a witch.
Like it or not, MacEntire Stuart,
you have summoned a witch.
Ah.
Served me so well, the Red Book.
I have an important mission
to fulfill in my days on Earth
and you will help me.
- Why should I help you?
- You have no choice.
- I can call the police.
You can do what I wish done and no more.
I am, as you see, an innocent
young female student.
I am also, whether you are
prepared to believe it or not,
a high priestess of the old religion.
Or the craft or whatever
you choose to call it.
- I choose to call it a lot of nonsense
and I choose to tell
you to get out of here.
I don't know what it is you're on
but I am not gonna stand for it.
- [Jill] There is another reason
why you are powerless to refuse me.
(ominous music)
You are one of us.
It's our witch mark.
- [Mac] It's a birthmark.
I've had it all my life.
- [Jill] It's more like a
devil's kiss, MacEntire.
All your forbears had it, as did mine.
- Who are you?
- Margaery of Jordman.
(chuckling)
- And Jill.
What have you done with Jill?
- Your Jill is quite well for the present.
I need her body only for a short while.
- How long?
- That depends on you.
I need your help.
- What do you want me to do?
- Just teach me.
You live in a strange world, MacEntire.
I need to know my way about it.
To begin with, what is that?
- It's called a telephone.
It's used to talk to
people who aren't here.
- Your world has much magic, MacEntire.
Had you and I a lamp like this,
our coven would've ruled the world
and we would've been high
priest and priestess.
- I'm exhausted.
I'm going to make some coffee.
- Very well.
You explain this to me, this coffee.
What is it used for?
- This is coffee.
It's a drink.
The first coffee house opened in London
some four years after
you departed the scene.
This is called a percolator.
We put the coffee in here.

- [Girl] I didn't get my beauty rest.
- But wasn't that flick worth it?
It was good, wasn't it?
- Listen, has anyone seen Jill?
- I haven't seen her since last night.
- Maybe she overslept.
- I sure don't groove with
these eight o'clock classes.
Even Mac's class is a drag this early.
- Yeah and the professor
must think so too.
He's usually here before now.
- Yeah, it's 10 after.
Come on and let's cut out.
Looks like Mac isn't gonna get here today.
- Yeah.
- First time I've ever
heard of Mac giving up work.
- Hey, Sharon, how about some
help with my anatomy homework?
- [Guy] Come on Joe, how about coffee?
- I think I'll have just about enough time
to was my hair before lab.
(car tires screeching)
- It's Alan.
What do you want me to do?
- Let him in, of course.
I need him too.
Someone has to show me about.
Let him in and tell him the truth,
or as much of it as you dare.
(knocking)
- Mac, what's going on?
Look, are you sick?
Jill, I've been looking all...
What the hell is this?
- Alan...
It's even worse than you think.
Alan,
this is not Jill.
(chuckling)
I know it looks like her,
but not if you look closely.
It's Jill's body but Jill is not inside.
Alan, hard as this is to believe,
the game last night was real.
We summoned forth a witch.
And she came.
- Oh, that's just beautiful, professor.
- Alan.
(buzzing)
(poofing)
(eerie music)
Now let us begin.
I think I understand it now.
I walk from here to here,
turn at this building
and enter the science
building through this door.
And this is my full class
schedule for the week?
Even my second sight failed to tell me
I would one day be a student in a college
and in a new world at that.
- Let's take another break
with a scotch on the rocks.
You've had your coffee lesson already.
(eerie music)
- I will be leaving you, my
good gentlemen, for awhile.
I expect, of course, to remain
where you are until my return
and, as you have concern for your Jill,
you will not cross me in my absence.
- She's halfway down the block.
We've got a few minutes anyway.
- [Alan] Mac, what're we gonna do?
- I don't know yet.
- [Alan] How could a
thing like this happen?
- The book.
The Red Book.
(ominous music)
I knew Jill was helping out
at the book store yesterday.
So I put it where I
knew she would find it.
- But why?
- What I thought was a
simple, little experiment
to prove a point.
You see, the power of
suggestion is a major factor
in this psychology of any superstition.
So I thought by introducing something
which at least seemed authentic,
I could demonstrate the
point to all of you.
And it worked.
You'll admit that for a few minutes,
during the ritual,
all of you felt something.
A "what if it could be true" feeling.
Needless to say,
I never expected anything would happen.
- Where did the book come from?
- It's been in my family for years.
I never believed any of it,
but the fact is,
something did happen
and I'm responsible for it.
And somehow I've got to fix it.
- We've gotta fix it, Mac.
I'm in it now too.
She's got us both over a barrel.
- It looks that way.
- Somewhere, somehow,
she's got Jill.
I don't know how to put it,
but as long as Jill's body is alive,
we've gotta get her back.
What does she want anyway?
- I don't know yet but whatever
it is, we've gotta stop it.
- But how?
We don't dare touch this thing.
We can't hurt Jill.
Mac, can't we get help or tell someone?
- No.
Who would believe us?
Alan, there's more.
According to her, the witch,
she feels that she knew me before.
In fact, she claims I am one of them,
one of the witches.
A member of her old coven.
- But that's ridiculous.
How could she say that?
- I have a mark.
What she called "the Witch Mark."
(ominous music)
- Mac, that's a birth mark.
- She has an identical mark.
If she's right,
if may be our best chance.
- What do you mean?
- If I do have any power,
even watered down by several centuries,
if I could tap into that power again.
- Well, it's up to us, Mac.
Up to you, I guess.
But between us, we should be
able to find some kind of,
what do you call it?
Counter spell, potion, white magic.
Just tell me where to look
and I'll start right now.
- We start with this book.
The answer has to be in here.
Somewhere in here.
(wind howling)
- Valor Hey!
Valor Hey!
Blessed be!
Valor Hey!
Valor Hey!
Blessed be!
Oh ancient ones,
come forth at my command!
Come get your sister and
her torment on Earth.
Lend her your art and your strength.
My brothers and sisters of
the covenant, here me now.
Now will I call forth my coven.
Those 10 remaining steadfast in our vows.
Now will I pursue our vengeance against
he who betrayed us onto shameful death!
(eerie music)
One by one, my blood kin of the coven,
manifest your presence.
(eerie music)
In your witch name is magic
enough to rule this world.
Our arts will triumph when these men
will molder and rot in
their forgotten graves.
We are immortal!
We, alone,
and I, thou priestess,
will complete our strength.
Three lived.
Saw 10 of us dance upon the gallows.
Broke the chain, the circle of our coven.
The circle I will complete.
We will again be 13.
Through death, two will join us.
And one of our own of long ago
will again be with us.
I have returned
and you too will rejoice again
to work your will upon this earth.
The three members yet we lack,
the three I shall bring.
Respond to me, my brothers, sisters.
Make known your presence to me.
Mahonin
of the third hierarchy,
the second order of archangels!
Return thee onto the earth!
(eerie whistling)
Dagon, my prince!
Come forth, I long to see you again.
(eerie music)
Belphagor.
And Caladet.
Lend your presence to our circle here.
(eerie whistling)
Asmodeus.
Allocen.
Amezyarak.
I need your powers now!
(eerie whistling)
Leviathan.
Aladonous, my love.
(eerie whistling)
Come forth.
I have wrenched open the
gateway back to Earth.
Pour into the entry lest it closes again.
The three members yet we lack,
three I shall bring onto you.
Satan!
Satan, my love!
(eerie music)
I was about now beg your presence.
(foreboding music)
(somber piano music)
- Sorry I'm late.
I wanted to make sure I could get away
without her guessing anything.
Mac,
what is this thing trying to do?
- I don't know.
But we're taking the only way I know
to try and find an answer.
The Red Book is incomplete.
Some of the pages have deteriorated.
I haven't been able to
find anything in it yet
that we can use.
But men were concerned with
witchcraft for centuries.
One of them must have written
some of the information that we need.
- Books?
Right now we don't even know the purpose.
We don't know why she's
taken over Jill's body.
We don't even know where Jill really is.
- No,
but we're trying to learn.
And we have more help on the way.
I ordered some books from Cornell.
It's one of the greatest collections
on witchcraft in the world.
- Damn it, Mac, you're
not writing a thesis.
There's a human being at stake.
My girl.
We can't just sit around and read.
- Right, Alan, but if you
have a better solution
then come up with it.
I don't know any other
way to try and save her.
- What about what she said?
Are you one of them?
- Hi.
I missed you when you slipped in.
What will you have?
- Oh.
Draft.
Mac?
- Yes, please.
- You didn't answer me.
Are you?
- I believed her but I'm not sure.
It's all so fantastic.
- How can you believe and not know?
Are you or aren't you?
- Please listen and try to understand.
I have never in my life experienced
any supernatural powers.
Never even won a bingo game.
But if it is true
that there is a heritage
of witchcraft in my family,
I have never known of it.
Never been told of it.
(somber piano music)
- Then what do you mean when
you say you believed it?
- Because it rang true
to me when she said it.
It was as if I had known.
- But if it doesn't work for you,
I mean, if you don't know how to work it,
it's not much use, is it?
- That's what I'm looking for, Alan.
- Yeah.
While half the librarians in
the country send you material,
you common with your
soul and try to decide
if you're a witch, warlock, demon,
whatever you call it.
- A MacEntire Stuart saw that woman hanged
more than 300 years ago.
I know that.
- And what does that make you?
- I hope it makes me what she thinks I am.
A witch.
- Meanwhile, I take her to classes,
walk her around campus
and keep everyone from
suspecting there's anything wrong
and then what?
- I don't know "and then what"
or how much time we have until then.
Meanwhile, she wants to pass as Jill
and I have to get back to these books.
- Okay.
I have to go now anyway.
Listen, if you don't hear
from Cornell tomorrow,
you call them.
Tell him you're writing a paper
on exorcism and it's urgent.
(somber piano music)
(knocking)
- Jill?
(eerie music)
Jill?
(unsettling music)
- MacEntire.
- [Mac] Jill?
- I had expected you before now.
- I want to talk to you alone.
Alan and I have done everything we can
to cover up whatever it
is you're trying to do.
It's time to know what.
- Perhaps, MacEntire,
perhaps I'm not trying to do anything.
Have you considered
I may have an insatiable desire
for my first demon lover?
I knew you would come for me.
You always did and you always will.
There's no need for us to wait.
Our vows were plighted long ago.
No love or passion can
match the wild fire we made.
I have hungered for you, MacEntire.
Through three centuries of hell.
We were once one.
Within this body is mine,
waiting to meet yours once again.
(somber music)
(heartbeat thumping)
(somber music)
- Finish it and go, Margaery.
Let me go!
(door slamming)
- Yes, I think we have that.
Alan, don't we have
Hendricks on Witchcraft?
- Yes, I think so.
- Young lady, my wife
gave you my only copy
of Fowler's Modern English Usage
and I wonder if you'd look for it.
I'd like to buy it back.
- I haven't seen it but I'll...
Would you excuse me, sir?
Alan, see if you can help Dr. Quinby.
- Yes sir, may I help you?
- Don't you really have all
the Snoopy books, Harry?
I'd even buy you "Red Baron"
if you trade me for "Good
Grief, Charlie Brown."
- How would you like a good
used copy of Fanny Hill?
(laughing)
- Sharon?
Could you help Alan out at
the counter for a few minutes?
I've gotta take a break.
- Oh sure, Jill.
I'll see you in a little while.
- Okay.
- Buy me a Coke?
- Oh sure.
- Harry,
do you know that you
and I are a lot alike?
- Really, Jill?
How's that?
- Well we both know what we want.
I mean, some people don't.
Well,
some people don't, you know what I mean?
- What are you getting at, Jill?
- Well, I wanted to apologize
for the way I acted at the party.
You know, at Mac's place.
- Oh, that.
Nah, don't be silly.
I had a lot to drink that night
and I was probably out of line.
- Oh no, you weren't, really.
I was irritable.
I was disappointed because
the experiment didn't work out right.
- You mean that witch thing?
(laughing)
You really didn't expect
that to work, did you?
- No, but I--
- Everybody knows there's
no such thing as witches.
(eerie music)
- Well, anyway, I'm sorry.
Hey, I've been thinking.
Maybe you and I oughta
get together sometime.
- You mean it, Jill?
You and me?
- Oh, you interest me, Harry,
and I thought we could just sometime--
- Sometime, huh?
Well, what's wrong with tonight?
- How could we possibly manage it?
I mean, I'm with Alan...
And Sharon?
- Listen, Jill,
like you said, we both know what we want.
There's nothing keeping
us from leaving right now.
- I've never walked out on a date before.
Why not?
Let's go.
(laughing)
Wait Harry, I forgot something.
I have to do something and
I do wanna change clothes.
I have a surprise for you.
- Oh, a surprise?
Well, okay.
Do you want me to meet
you at your place later?
- Oh no, Alan might come
there later looking for me.
Why don't I meet you somewhere else?
- All right.
Just tell me where and when.
- Do you know that grove of
trees behind the stadium?
I can meet you there
around 12 midnight.
- Oh yeah, fine.
I'll be there.
That's just an appetizer.
(menacing music)
(engine rumbling)
(tires screeching)
(eerie music)
(wind howling)
Jill?
Jill?
Jill?
- How thoughtful.
(laughing)
You brought a blanket.
Put it down over there.
Go on.
- You look terrific.
(wind howling)
- I brought something for you...
Us.
- Is that my surprise?
- It's part of it.
Sit down, Harry.
Here, have some.
- How about you?
- In a moment.
- Okay, cheers.
(eerie music)
(menacing music)
(fire crackling)
- You can not speak
Harry, so you do not try.
You can do nothing.
Nothing whatsoever except at my will
and my command.
- [Harry] "And beseech my lord, Lucifer,
"that you inscribe my name
in the book of death."
- And I will pay tribute
to him each 12 month,
my liege, lord Satan!
- "And that I will pay
tribute to him each 12 month,
"my liege, lord Satan."
- Accept his mark upon my body.
- "Accept his mark upon my body!"
- And submit myself to
him in body and soul!
- "And submit myself to
him in body and soul!"
- Forever into eternity.
- "Forever
"into eternity."
- Dine in hell,
the counsel of devils!
- Mac, she got away from me.
I think she took Harry.
- Where do you think they went?
I'm not sure.
It looked like she was
heading for the stadium.
Harry's car was going down
Highland last I saw him.
- Where does Harry go to make out?
- Th Grove.
They went to the Grove.
- Let's get out of her.
She mentioned the Grove
when we drew her that map.
(eerie music)
- Await.
Honor thy vow.
- No.
No!
(screaming)
(menacing music)
- Oh my god.
Alan!
Alan, don't touch anything.
(ominous music)
- My god, Mac.
Look.
- [Mac] Jill couldn't have done that.
She isn't strong enough.
- The Jill we know
couldn't have done that.
Mac, let's get out of here.
There's nothing we can
do for the poor guy now
and there's no way we're gonna
explain this to the police.
- If we could, the only
thing we could tell them
is that Jill is responsible.
- Come on, Mac, let's go.
- Alan.
Look.
(eerie music)
- Poor Harry was from Baltimore.
I didn't know that.
- Why Harry?
Why would you want to kill Harry?
He had nothing to do with all this.
- My dear, Alan,
if your little friend
has murderous impulses,
you can hardly blame it on me.
Call the police if you feel you must.
I can always get away.
It's only your Jill who can't.
- Alan.
Just how much longer are
you going to be with us?
- Until I've done what I've come to do.
And I will complete my purpose.
You will not stop me.
You can't stop me.
I am Jill for as long as I must be
and as long as I am,
you're helpless.
Do not forget that.
Perhaps it will not be for so much longer.
(knocking)
- You did it.
It's your fault that he was there.
You killed Harry!
- Sharon, I know how you
feel but you're wrong!
It's terrible what happened to Harry.
I understand how you feel.
- You couldn't understand.
- He loved you, Sharon,
he told me last night.
- How could I believe what you say?
- You've been so close to him.
You probably didn't see.
Harry grew up a lot in the last year.
He became more mature.
More serious.
Certainly more serious about you.
He wanted to marry you, Sharon.
He wanted me to tell him how to say it.
The truth is Sharon,
he wanted to marry you.
He wanted to propose to you.
But he didn't know how.
- Did he really say that?
- He did.
He was happy.
He was happy when I left him.
Happy he would see you this morning.
He could hardly wait.
- Oh, Jill.
- Oh, come on, Sharon.
Take a bit of this.
Come on, try to be strong.
You wouldn't want Harry to
know that you cried, would you?
Here.
Just take a drink of this.
For Harry.
A fitting memoriae.
(menacing music)
Yes, you can be with Harry, Sharon.
You will be.
Don't be afraid.
Just do as I say.
That is all you can do.
At my command you will
speak and you will walk
with such joys you never dreamed,
when you are one of the
devil's brotherhood.
You will be grateful forever.
When you are entered into our coven.
You will be honored with us.
Come.
Now.
It is time.
- Listen to this.
Sweeflag, mandrake, roots of aristolochia,
great and small cardamom.
- Great and small?
- Great and small.
- Ginger, long pepper
clove, pink cinnamein,
cloves, mace, nutmeg,
benzoin,
aloe, root and wood,
and fragrance sandal.
- What is all that stuff?
- Herbs.
Stimulants, mostly.
And aphrodisiacs.
Supposed to drive out evil spirits.
- How does it work?
- You brew it in three and one half quarts
of brandy and water.
Proportions unspecified.
After that, who knows.
Drink it yourself?
Pour it on the evil spirit?
Rub it in your hair?
Our reporter forgot to tell us any more
Of course, it's been copied wrong.
Or somebody tampered
with the formula later.
It's not aloe root.
Only the wood.
And they left out cupid seed.
(eerie music)
(wind howling)
- Accept his mark
upon my body.
- "Accept his mark
"upon my body."
- Submit myself to him
in body and soul.
- "Submit myself to him
"in body and soul."
- Forever into eternity.
- "Forever into eternity."
(eerie music)
- Dine in hell.
The council of the devil's.
- Honor thy vow!
(cackling)
- Hey Mac, I may have something here.
It looks...
(eerie music)
"Shadows upon shadows
"encircling
"the unholy one
"with the sign of the holy."
Hey, Mac?
Mac, wake up
- Sorry, Alan.
I must've dropped off.
- Mac, look at this.
- What?
- I just saw your hand write this.
- Alan, this is not time to get around.
That's not my handwriting.
- All I know is I watched you write it.
- Maybe this is it.
"Shadows upon shadows
"encircling the unholy one
with the sign of the holy."
(police siren alarming)
- [Loud Speaker] Lady, step back please.
Make room here, now.
Okay, coming through.
All right, all right.
Who discovered the body?
- [Reporter] Unit 12 to news.
- [Radio] Go ahead, unit 12.
- [Reporter] Bob, we got
a pretty bad one out here.
I just arrived a few moments ago.
I thought I would check with you.
I'm gonna do you two reports.
I'll do one for the 55
and then I'll do a little bit longer one
for the roundup later on this evening.
This is a white female in her early 20s.
It seems to be some kind
of ritualistic murder.
I say murder.
The ambulance has picked her up.
They are running code three
to the county hospital
but I believe she was 12
on the scene out here.
I think she'll be D.O.A.
Her name, according to
identification on the body,
was Sharon Hardgrave
but withhold that name.
The county medical examiner
will have to clear that later
after sending notification of her family.
I don't know whether
they're from here in town
or whether she lives in some other city.
All I could see was a lot
of blood on the ground.
Kind of a gory thing out here.
We'll have to play that up
a little bit in the story
and so let me get around here
and talk to some of these people,
but meanwhile, let me
give you one for the 55.
Why don't you roll me a tape.
- [Bob] Go ahead, unit 12, tape rolling.
- [Reporter] A blaze of auto lights
cut through the misty
night here in the Groves,
just behind university field.
Bathed in the lights is a
body looking small and lonely,
covered with a sheet.
Underneath that sheet
is the mutilated body
of a blonde university coed.
(police siren alarming)
- [Mac] Okay, fella,
hit the floor, we have a lot to do today.
- Thank you.
I must've just passed out.
I don't even remember going to sleep.
- You can't exorcize
witches on an empty stomach.
How do you like your eggs?
Over easy?
- Just give me some coffee.
You know?
If we could just get her to tell us
what she's going to do next.
I mean,
maybe Harry was enough.
She said she had a mission,
a thing she had to do.
Maybe she's done it.
I don't see why we just
don't ask her what she's--
(phone ringing)
- Dr. Stuart, here.
Yes.
What?
When?
Do they have any idea what...
I see.
Thank you for calling.
- Mac?
What?
- Sharon.
They found her body in
the Grove last night.
She's dead.
Just like Harry.
- You know we've got to...
Good Lord, two murders.
- Oh really, gentlemen, I
haven't murdered anybody.
I can't help that your 20th
century people are so fragile.
Now we were much stronger
stuff, MacEntire.
- Let's just get this straight right now.
We're not standing by
while you kill at random!
Now if it means turning you
or Jill in to the police,
we're doing it and now!
- Very well, I have
accomplished the purpose
for which I was sent.
I have no further need
for this Jill of yours.
- [Mac] Then what can we do?
How do we get her back?
- Oh, I'm afraid you
must reverse the charm.
You don't just snap your
fingers or wave a wand.
Actually, you're in luck, you know.
Tomorrow the signs are right.
You may have had to wait
until the next full moon.
But it will work tomorrow.
- You said reverse the charm?
Does that mean all those
people have to be here?
The whole group?
- No, that's not essential
if we could have a token,
a symbol, an object, that would be enough.
- What kind of object?
- A ring, a shoe,
a piece of clothing, no matter.
Just something to represent
them in the circle.
I would rather they were not here, really.
It becomes a distraction.
- The hardware store was closed tonight
so I had to go to one of
those driving grocery stores.
This was all the extension
cord I could get.
Will it be enough?
- Yeah, I think so.
- Mac, is it gonna work?
- I don't know.
Look, maybe she means it.
Maybe she will bring Jill back.
- But you don't think so.
- No, I don't think so.
She's certainly given us
no reason to trust her.
No, I think she has
something else in mind.
God knows what.
Give me an object of yours.
- What do you mean?
- [Mac] There's no reason
for you to be here.
Give me an object and get out of here.
- No, I'm not leaving.
She's my girl.
They were my friends.
There's no way I could leave.
- All right.
I think this thing will work.
I don't know for sure.
She's due here at 10.
It's set to go off at 10:15.
If she's on the level,
switch it off before then.
If she is planning something,
we just have to hope this thing
does what it's supposed to do.
- Look,
you know what you're doing.
All this stuff,
it's gonna do the job for us.
- With the automatic
timer, it'll do something,
whether we're able to or not.
(eerie music)
- North
and south
and west
and east.
Devil's brother, mark me well.
Prepare my thrown
for me in Hell.
(liquid trickling)
Readmit me
to the feast.
With this cup, we seal our vow.
(eerie music)
Long remember.
Long be known.
Greet me, Priestess,
as your own.
I bring you the Stuart.
Now.
(menacing music)
(eerie music)
(foreboding music)
(unsettling music)
(poofing)
Yard Hey.
Vor He.
Blessed be.
(eerie music)
Ancient ones.
Come forth at my command.
Revel with your sister
and her triumph on Earth.
Reinforce our circle,
which renews its strength tonight.
Our curse laid black and
heavy upon the Stuart
and tonight he returns among us.
Ours forever.
I call forth my coven!
Those 10 remaining faithful in our vows.
These many centuries.
Two I deliver on to you
and at long and bitter last,
himself,
who worked our evil into foul betrayal
and shameful death!
My blood kin of the coven,
raise high the power of the
magic of your witch names
and take this world,
for we shall rule
and we, alone.
Mahonin of the third hierarchy,
second order of archangels,
return thee onto the earth.
(eerie music)
Dagon, my prince!
Your long death hath ended.
Belphagor!
(eerie whistling)
Caladet!
(eerie whistling)
Asmodeus!
(whistling)
Arfaxzat.
Calconex.
(whistling)
Aladonous.
Honored one.
Leviathan.
Come forth!
Our converts, answer to
your witch names now.
Belberouth.
Take your place in our circle
here for the first time
and forever more.
And Siteph.
Come forth!
You laughed the day I hanged, Stuart.
No, not even that.
I could have laughed with you.
But you stood there, unmoved.
So cold.
Unpitying.
Nor yet remembered what we too had been.
I was the stronger then, MacEntire.
You see that now?
I've come to take you back,
through years of time.
Time's nothing to the
devil's favored child.
(foreboding music)
(screaming)
(unsettling music)
(screaming)
(screaming)
- Get Jill out of here!
(ominous music)
Alan, get the cross!
She's closing her eyes!
- No!
No!
(ominous music)
(eerie music)
(menacing music)
(wind howling)
(thudding)
(ominous music)
(wind howling)
(eerie music)
- You will hear me now,
you good men of Lancashire,
and you will remember my
words to your dying day.
Yay, they will be pondered
upon by yours sons
and the sons of your sons,
until the last star gutters from the sky.
They will ponder my words
until they gibber in madness
and remember onto their unhallowed graves
the curse I now lay upon the Stuarts.
MacEntire Stuart!
Upon the Walpurgis Night,
but two years past,
you swore your soul onto the covenant
with my lord, Satan.
Whereby he has granted
you riches and power
a royal monarch might covet.
Yes you have most vilely
forsworn your own blood oath
and foully betrayed your
comrades of the coven.
You it was who lead two of our brethren
to buy freedom with our betrayal.
(ominous music)
Those who followed you
were foolish and weak,
worth no more than our contempt.
It is you who will be held to
account for your denial of us
and of our covenant!
Be it known to you, MacEntire Stuart,
and to those of your
blood throughout eternity.
The mark of my lord Satan
will be with you always!
There is no inch nor end
on all the earth where you
can flee our vengeance.
You stand forever a
cursed, MacEntire Stuart!
You and all you may beget
from Kingland's Courtyard
to the very gates of Hell!
(laughing)

- [Man] Wow man, if the chicks
are gonna have a book drive,
they oughta be big enough
to push the barrels.
- Come on you guys, we need those books.
- The way they're going,
we'll have 18 guys at the convention.
- The Diary of a Witch.
The Exorcism of Witches.
The Truth About Witchcraft.
(register cranking)
Hey, Alan, that's funny.
You don't look like a witch.
Are you on some kind of a
Halloween trip in March?
- It's a real trip all right.
- You know Mac Stuart.
- Your psychology prof.
Sure, he's faculty
sponsor of our book fair.
- He's got us all
involved with this stuff.
Ouija boards, tarot cards.
Witches, graphology, the whole bit.
- What for?
- We're studying the psychology
of superstition this term.
You know, way back to the pagans
and how they worshiped fire and water
and how it grew into various
kinds of belief in magic.
You'd be amazed at how many
people believe in it now.
Anyway,
it's an interesting subject.
- It sounds great. What do you do?
- Outside of class has sort of turned into
a half party, half seminar once a week.
For kicks, mostly, but
we do learn a few things.
We're meeting up at Mac's place tonight.
Well, better do my homework
and see what's new in the witch world.
Ricky, is Jill still here?
- Yeah, I think she's in
the back room sorting books.
Hey, is this thing opened to anyone?
Can I come?
- Sure, I don't think Mac would mind.
About 8 o'clock.
Mac furnishes beer but
if you want hard stuff,
you'll have to bring your own.
- How about that?
A spook seminar.
- Oh hi, fellas.
Thanks a lot.
- Come on, Jill, you don't have
to drag barrels around too.
- That's pretty good timing.
- As usual.
Whenever you need a strong,
handsome, muscular yo-yo
to do the heavy work--
- Oh silly.
Gee, what a deal we've
gotten ourselves into.
I never knew there was so many books.
- Tell me about it.
- Everyone's been just terrific.
We've got so many books now
we don't know what to do
and there's a truck out now
making even more pickups
at the fraternity houses.
- Looks like you've got it
made for the convention.
- We might be able to send
a couple of alternates.
- Mac said to come on up about eight.
You want me to pick
you up here or at home?
- Just look at this mess,
Alan, we won't be finished here
until who knows when.
Honestly, I never knew
books were so dirty.
- You been reading a few?
- Oh, come on, you idiot.
- Why don't you sort this stuff out
when you get to the hall?
Seems like a lot of trouble this way.
- Not really.
Actually, it's much easier this way.
We can't get into the hall
until a day before the book fair
and this way we can just move it all over
and set it up in no time.
- Well, what's the plan for tonight?
- I'll tell you what,
let me meet you up there.
I can get there about
8:30, nine at the latest.
- Okay.
See you later.
(eerie music)
- [Woman] Hey, Jill.
If you wanna read them, you buy them.
Right now, let's get with it
or we'll never get out of here.
- Okay, I'll buy it.
- To an experienced and gifted palmist,
it's obvious that you're
a warm, sensitive,
but somewhat flighty young woman.
(giggling)
With much to offer a man
who masters you firmly.
Now this line here,
this means you're gonna
be marred five times
and have eight children.
- There might be something to it, Harry.
Come on, let me do yours.
- Quick moving it.
- I'm not moving it.
- Somebody is.
- If you are a Sagittarius,
you're probably gonna go bald.
It's a fire sign and it's
guaranteed to burn your hair off.
Alan, hi, come on in and join the party.
- Hi, how are you?
- Excuse me.
- Mac, you know I thought
you were putting us on
when you first brought this up,
but there really is a big
thing about witchcraft.
- Find something interesting?
- Are you kidding?
There are volumes of this
stuff at the book store.
I haven't even made it
over to the library yet.
Here's what I picked up this afternoon.
- Let's see.
I should've mentioned
Anderson to you right away.
- Oh?
Is he any good?
- Very.
I worked on a project with
him at Duke several years ago.
The last I heard, he got a research grant
to look into the Stonehenge thing.
- How about this one?
- Well, I suppose you oughta read that,
just for kicks though, it's pure junk.
I haven't read this yet.
It's fascinating.
The literature on exorcism is enormous.
In everything that I have read,
the thing that gets to me is
that those who cast out witches
suffer terribly themselves.
You wouldn't believe they're
supposed to be the good guys.
- Go ahead, read it.
I've got plenty to keep
me busy for awhile.
- Come on, let's get a beer.
(somber rock music)
- I see a dark haired man
who means trouble for you
in the near future.
In fact, he could change your whole life
for the worse.
His name seems to start with P.
- Dean Pritchard.
You bet your sweet you-know-what
he means trouble for me.
Wait till he gets a look
at my midterm grades.
You don't need the cards to tell that.
Come on, Mary Beth, get to the good part.
What about sex?
Will I get married before
the dean bounces me?
You know, what do they say?
Do you see romance in my life?
- Hey, cut it out.
- I like my chicks dumb, baby,
but you really are something else.
I mean, if you want romance in your life
you don't have to ask her.
Let's just split and head for the grove.
I'll show you all the romance you can use.
If that's what you wanna call it.
- Oh, Harry, can't you ever
think of anything else?
- Hey, you're late.
- Where's Mac?
- Hi, baby.
Sure wouldn't have been
a party without you.
- Hi, Sam.
Mac, wait till you see what I've got.
Listen, we can have our own
black magic sort of thing.
Honestly, I've got it all right here.
- Let me see.
- Oh no, just call the
class over, professor,
and you can be surprised
with everybody else.
- Harry?
Harness your resounding
baritone, will you?
Call this gang to attention for a minute.
- Oh sure, Mac.
Now here this, you guys.
Hey, shut up!
Mac wants to say something.
- Ladies and gentlemen,
one of our circle of adults
has brought us something which she feels
is of overpowering interest
to serious students of the black arts.
Miss Jill Littleton.
(people applauding)
- It's a magic book.
I mean, a book full of real magic,
with spell and curses and enchantments.
They spell it in...
They call it "enchontments."
Well, they spell it funny like Chaucer.
Well, it's even got recipes
with spiders and toads
and bat's blood.
But it's all real.
It's all written out in
the spooky old script.
It must be a thousand years old.
- [Girl] Let me see.
- [Guy] What is it?
- Boy, it sure smells funny.
- [Jill] It's old, all right.
- [Guy] A measure of powdered aconite
grinded with the ashes of
three toads and a newt.
- [Girl] What's a newt?
(people laughing)
- Mac, is this thing for real?
- Certainly seems to be.
(people laughing)
- [Girl] That's really interesting.
- You haven't heard the best part yet.
There's even a spell we can do.
I mean, we can work it ourselves, tonight.
Right now.
Of course, there's some
things here I never heard of,
like belladonna.
(laughing)
Aconite.
Powdered bat's wings.
(laughing)
Wait, but this one.
"Enchantment for the
summoning forth of witches."
Isn't it fabulous?
Well, shall we try?
It doesn't seem to take very much.
Seven candles, a sprig of rosemary.
Do you have some, Mac?
I suppose we could use the powdered kind.
How much powder makes a sprig.
(laughing)
Cup of wine.
How about it?
Who's ready to summon a witch?
(people laughing)
- Hey, if this thing works,
I get first dibs on her.
This school could use some new talent.
- Oh, Harry, that's terrible.
- [Jill] Hey Mac, can we
use that table over there?
- Sure.
Come on, Sam, come on.
Outside.
That's good.
- [Alan] Hey Mac, witches
don't go for crucifixes.
Can you do something with that?
- Alan, put this cross
in my desk, will you?
- Okay, everybody.
I'm going to read the
invocation and then the rune.
Witches rune, that's some kind of a poem.
When I get to that part,
pass the cup around counterclockwise.
Like that.
- Hey, that means my way.
Hand it over, Ricky.
- Come on, Harry.
We've gotta take this seriously
or it's not gonna work.
Okay everybody, are we ready?
(people giggling)
Harry!
"Hear ye, mighty one.
"Oh great mother, high
priestess of the devil,
"called among men since time and memorial,
"Artemis, Diana,
"Arian, Rob.
"Names that were death,
uttered with mortal lips.
"Harken, harken to us, your children
"and manifest to us your awesome presence.
(eerie music)
"East and west
"and south and north.
"Harken to our earthly cry.
"Tho thou sleeps,
"thou never dies,
"ren thy vail and show thee forth.
"With this cup we seal our vow.
"None without this circle goes.
"Take our pledge, come to us now.
(eerie music)
"From the farthest pit in hell,
"thou awaited long this hour.
"Summon forth thy priestess powers.
"Source of mysteries, speak
"until."
(ominous music)
- [Harry] Well don't say
it hasn't been fun, kids,
but I really don't think she's coming.
(group laughing)
- Maybe we did something wrong.
- Maybe powdered rosemary won't work.
- [Girl] No, but it sure
makes the wine taste funny.
- [Harry] Hey, turn on
the lights, somebody.
I'm ready for another beer.
- [Girl] You're always
ready for another beer.
- Don't take it so hard, honey.
It's just for kicks and everyone had fun.
Come on, cheer up.
(pleasant radio music)
- Hail, oh queen of the night.
Oh high priestess of the mysteries.
Except this small libation
from your unworthy servant.
- Jill, what's the matter?
Are you all right?
- Hey, Jill, come look at this a minute.
- What do you suppose this means, Jill?
It says you must put
an athame on the alter
for consecration rights of priestesses.
- It's a ritual knife.
All witches carry them.
MacEntire.
- How did you know that?
I shortened the name but
all the men in my family
have been called
MacEntire for generations.
How'd you know?
(somber radio music)
- Oh yeah, too much.
- Hey, did you see that
effigy bit in the book?
You know, pins in the wax figures?
Hey,
couldn't you darling loves just make
one tiny little effigy of the dean
and get me off the hook exam week?
(laughing)
- Hey, did you see what Mary
Beth was doing under the table
during the seance?
- Oh Harry,
that wasn't Mary Beth.
(laughing)
(people chattering)
(thunder rumbling)
(dog barking)
(buzzing)
(screaming)
- Harry, you nut!
Could you help me get this ice out?
Oh.
(laughing)
- Hey, baby.
You're the sexiest witch caller I know.
How about let's get out of here
and put the top down and go witch hunting?
- Impotent lackwit.
Pandering despicable wretch.
(somber radio music)
- Come one, honey.
Don't think you blew it just because
some genie didn't come out of a bottle.
The red book is something.
I'd like to spend some time studying it.
Where do you suppose it came from?
- Apan.
It's the Red Book of Apan.
- What?
- Nevermind.
Is this my home?
- Come off it, Jill.
Cut it out, "Is this my home."
Stop faking around, being mysterious.
You know where we are.
- Thank you.
- Look.
What's gotten into you?
Can't I come in?
- Why?
- Okay.
Okay, just forget it.
I'll pick you up tomorrow.
(engine rumbling)
- Sam, come on in.
(whistling)
(thunder rumbling)
Stay out, you dumb dog.
(thunder rumbling)
Jill.
What on Earth are you doing here?
(Jill chuckling)
- What on Earth.
We must talk.
- Talk, now?
It's after midnight.
Where's Alan?
- Oh, no matter.
It's you I want.
- Me?
Look, Jill,
if there's something you
want to talk to me about,
it can wait.
(chuckling)
- One acquires an almighty
thirst in 321 years,
MacEntire Stuart.
Or has it been 322?
- I think that's about enough, young lady.
- I have spent three centuries in Hell
waiting to meet you again.
We have much to do, you and
I, and we will begin at once!
- What's gotten into you, Jill?
(giggling)
- Surely you realize that I'm not Jill.
I am Margaery of Jordman,
born 1618,
died by the rope, 1648.
- Okay.
Not a bad performance.
- I should think a Stuart of Enverham,
even as remote of the line as you,
should know of our kinship at a glance.
Or have you lost your powers so soon?
- All right, very good.
Now run along and tell
the kids that it worked.
I'm really spooked.
Unfortunately, I am also very tired.
- Where's your dog?
- Sam? In the yard.
- He's dead.
- Dead?
- Quite.
In the garden.
- Sam?
Come on in.
(whistling)
(clapping)
- Near the roses.
(thunder rumbling)
- What the hell is going on here?
He's dead.
Who did it?
- He annoyed me.
- He annoyed you?
(thudding)
(eerie music)
- Take care, MacEntire.
I become annoyed easily.
Now you will sit and you will listen.
My liege lord, James the first of England,
saw fit to have me hanged
as a witch.
Like it or not, MacEntire Stuart,
you have summoned a witch.
Ah.
Served me so well, the Red Book.
I have an important mission
to fulfill in my days on Earth
and you will help me.
- Why should I help you?
- You have no choice.
- I can call the police.
You can do what I wish done and no more.
I am, as you see, an innocent
young female student.
I am also, whether you are
prepared to believe it or not,
a high priestess of the old religion.
Or the craft or whatever
you choose to call it.
- I choose to call it a lot of nonsense
and I choose to tell
you to get out of here.
I don't know what it is you're on
but I am not gonna stand for it.
- [Jill] There is another reason
why you are powerless to refuse me.
(ominous music)
You are one of us.
It's our witch mark.
- [Mac] It's a birthmark.
I've had it all my life.
- [Jill] It's more like a
devil's kiss, MacEntire.
All your forbears had it, as did mine.
- Who are you?
- Margaery of Jordman.
(chuckling)
- And Jill.
What have you done with Jill?
- Your Jill is quite well for the present.
I need her body only for a short while.
- How long?
- That depends on you.
I need your help.
- What do you want me to do?
- Just teach me.
You live in a strange world, MacEntire.
I need to know my way about it.
To begin with, what is that?
- It's called a telephone.
It's used to talk to
people who aren't here.
- Your world has much magic, MacEntire.
Had you and I a lamp like this,
our coven would've ruled the world
and we would've been high
priest and priestess.
- I'm exhausted.
I'm going to make some coffee.
- Very well.
You explain this to me, this coffee.
What is it used for?
- This is coffee.
It's a drink.
The first coffee house opened in London
some four years after
you departed the scene.
This is called a percolator.
We put the coffee in here.

- [Harry] Come on, baby, don't be mad.
- [Girl] I didn't get my beauty rest.
- But wasn't that flick worth it?
It was good, wasn't it?
- Listen, has anyone seen Jill?
- I haven't seen her since last night.
- Maybe she overslept.
- I sure don't groove with
these eight o'clock classes.
Even Mac's class is a drag this early.
- Yeah and the professor
must think so too.
He's usually here before now.
- Yeah, it's 10 after.
Come on and let's cut out.
Looks like Mac isn't gonna get here today.
- Yeah.
- First time I've ever
heard of Mac giving up work.
- Hey, Sharon, how about some
help with my anatomy homework?
- [Guy] Come on Joe, how about coffee?
- I think I'll have just about enough time
to was my hair before lab.
(car tires screeching)
- It's Alan.
What do you want me to do?
- Let him in, of course.
I need him too.
Someone has to show me about.
Let him in and tell him the truth,
or as much of it as you dare.
(knocking)
- Mac, what's going on?
Look, are you sick?
Jill, I've been looking all...
What the hell is this?
- Alan...
It's even worse than you think.
Alan,
this is not Jill.
(chuckling)
I know it looks like her,
but not if you look closely.
It's Jill's body but Jill is not inside.
Alan, hard as this is to believe,
the game last night was real.
We summoned forth a witch.
And she came.
- Oh, that's just beautiful, professor.
- Alan.
(buzzing)
(poofing)
(eerie music)
Now let us begin.
I think I understand it now.
I walk from here to here,
turn at this building
and enter the science
building through this door.
And this is my full class
schedule for the week?
Even my second sight failed to tell me
I would one day be a student in a college
and in a new world at that.
- Let's take another break
with a scotch on the rocks.
You've had your coffee lesson already.
(eerie music)
- I will be leaving you, my
good gentlemen, for awhile.
I expect, of course, to remain
where you are until my return
and, as you have concern for your Jill,
you will not cross me in my absence.
- She's halfway down the block.
We've got a few minutes anyway.
- [Alan] Mac, what're we gonna do?
- I don't know yet.
- [Alan] How could a
thing like this happen?
- The book.
The Red Book.
(ominous music)
I knew Jill was helping out
at the book store yesterday.
So I put it where I
knew she would find it.
- But why?
- What I thought was a
simple, little experiment
to prove a point.
You see, the power of
suggestion is a major factor
in this psychology of any superstition.
So I thought by introducing something
which at least seemed authentic,
I could demonstrate the
point to all of you.
And it worked.
You'll admit that for a few minutes,
during the ritual,
all of you felt something.
A "what if it could be true" feeling.
Needless to say,
I never expected anything would happen.
- Where did the book come from?
- It's been in my family for years.
I never believed any of it,
but the fact is,
something did happen
and I'm responsible for it.
And somehow I've got to fix it.
- We've gotta fix it, Mac.
I'm in it now too.
She's got us both over a barrel.
- It looks that way.
- Somewhere, somehow,
she's got Jill.
I don't know how to put it,
but as long as Jill's body is alive,
we've gotta get her back.
What does she want anyway?
- I don't know yet but whatever
it is, we've gotta stop it.
- But how?
We don't dare touch this thing.
We can't hurt Jill.
Mac, can't we get help or tell someone?
- No.
Who would believe us?
Alan, there's more.
According to her, the witch,
she feels that she knew me before.
In fact, she claims I am one of them,
one of the witches.
A member of her old coven.
- But that's ridiculous.
How could she say that?
- I have a mark.
What she called "the Witch Mark."
(ominous music)
- Mac, that's a birth mark.
- She has an identical mark.
If she's right,
if may be our best chance.
- What do you mean?
- If I do have any power,
even watered down by several centuries,
if I could tap into that power again.
- Well, it's up to us, Mac.
Up to you, I guess.
But between us, we should be
able to find some kind of,
what do you call it?
Counter spell, potion, white magic.
Just tell me where to look
and I'll start right now.
- We start with this book.
The answer has to be in here.
Somewhere in here.
(wind howling)
- Valor Hey!
Valor Hey!
Blessed be!
Valor Hey!
Valor Hey!
Blessed be!
Oh ancient ones,
come forth at my command!
Come get your sister and
her torment on Earth.
Lend her your art and your strength.
My brothers and sisters of
the covenant, here me now.
Now will I call forth my coven.
Those 10 remaining steadfast in our vows.
Now will I pursue our vengeance against
he who betrayed us onto shameful death!
(eerie music)
One by one, my blood kin of the coven,
manifest your presence.
(eerie music)
In your witch name is magic
enough to rule this world.
Our arts will triumph when these men
will molder and rot in
their forgotten graves.
We are immortal!
We, alone,
and I, thou priestess,
will complete our strength.
Three lived.
Saw 10 of us dance upon the gallows.
Broke the chain, the circle of our coven.
The circle I will complete.
We will again be 13.
Through death, two will join us.
And one of our own of long ago
will again be with us.
I have returned
and you too will rejoice again
to work your will upon this earth.
The three members yet we lack,
the three I shall bring.
Respond to me, my brothers, sisters.
Make known your presence to me.
Mahonin
of the third hierarchy,
the second order of archangels!
Return thee onto the earth!
(eerie whistling)
Dagon, my prince!
Come forth, I long to see you again.
(eerie music)
Belphagor.
And Caladet.
Lend your presence to our circle here.
(eerie whistling)
Asmodeus.
Allocen.
Amezyarak.
I need your powers now!
(eerie whistling)
Leviathan.
Aladonous, my love.
(eerie whistling)
Come forth.
I have wrenched open the
gateway back to Earth.
Pour into the entry lest it closes again.
The three members yet we lack,
three I shall bring onto you.
Satan!
Satan, my love!
(eerie music)
I was about now beg your presence.
(foreboding music)
(somber piano music)
- Sorry I'm late.
I wanted to make sure I could get away
without her guessing anything.
Mac,
what is this thing trying to do?
- I don't know.
But we're taking the only way I know
to try and find an answer.
The Red Book is incomplete.
Some of the pages have deteriorated.
I haven't been able to
find anything in it yet
that we can use.
But men were concerned with
witchcraft for centuries.
One of them must have written
some of the information that we need.
- Books?
Right now we don't even know the purpose.
We don't know why she's
taken over Jill's body.
We don't even know where Jill really is.
- No,
but we're trying to learn.
And we have more help on the way.
I ordered some books from Cornell.
It's one of the greatest collections
on witchcraft in the world.
- Damn it, Mac, you're
not writing a thesis.
There's a human being at stake.
My girl.
We can't just sit around and read.
- Right, Alan, but if you
have a better solution
then come up with it.
I don't know any other
way to try and save her.
- What about what she said?
Are you one of them?
- Hi.
I missed you when you slipped in.
What will you have?
- Oh.
Draft.
Mac?
- Yes, please.
- You didn't answer me.
Are you?
- I believed her but I'm not sure.
It's all so fantastic.
- How can you believe and not know?
Are you or aren't you?
- Please listen and try to understand.
I have never in my life experienced
any supernatural powers.
Never even won a bingo game.
But if it is true
that there is a heritage
of witchcraft in my family,
I have never known of it.
Never been told of it.
(somber piano music)
- Then what do you mean when
you say you believed it?
- Because it rang true
to me when she said it.
It was as if I had known.
- But if it doesn't work for you,
I mean, if you don't know how to work it,
it's not much use, is it?
- That's what I'm looking for, Alan.
- Yeah.
While half the librarians in
the country send you material,
you common with your
soul and try to decide
if you're a witch, warlock, demon,
whatever you call it.
- A MacEntire Stuart saw that woman hanged
more than 300 years ago.
I know that.
- And what does that make you?
- I hope it makes me what she thinks I am.
A witch.
- Meanwhile, I take her to classes,
walk her around campus
and keep everyone from
suspecting there's anything wrong
and then what?
- I don't know "and then what"
or how much time we have until then.
Meanwhile, she wants to pass as Jill
and I have to get back to these books.
- Okay.
I have to go now anyway.
Listen, if you don't hear
from Cornell tomorrow,
you call them.
Tell him you're writing a paper
on exorcism and it's urgent.
(somber piano music)
(knocking)
- Jill?
(eerie music)
Jill?
(unsettling music)
- MacEntire.
- [Mac] Jill?
- I had expected you before now.
- I want to talk to you alone.
Alan and I have done everything we can
to cover up whatever it
is you're trying to do.
It's time to know what.
- Perhaps, MacEntire,
perhaps I'm not trying to do anything.
Have you considered
I may have an insatiable desire
for my first demon lover?
I knew you would come for me.
You always did and you always will.
There's no need for us to wait.
Our vows were plighted long ago.
No love or passion can
match the wild fire we made.
I have hungered for you, MacEntire.
Through three centuries of hell.
We were once one.
Within this body is mine,
waiting to meet yours once again.
(somber music)
(heartbeat thumping)
(somber music)
- Finish it and go, Margaery.
Let me go!
(door slamming)
- Yes, I think we have that.
Alan, don't we have
Hendricks on Witchcraft?
- Yes, I think so.
- Young lady, my wife
gave you my only copy
of Fowler's Modern English Usage
and I wonder if you'd look for it.
I'd like to buy it back.
- I haven't seen it but I'll...
Would you excuse me, sir?
Alan, see if you can help Dr. Quinby.
- Yes sir, may I help you?
- Don't you really have all
the Snoopy books, Harry?
I'd even buy you "Red Baron"
if you trade me for "Good
Grief, Charlie Brown."
- How would you like a good
used copy of Fanny Hill?
(laughing)
- Sharon?
Could you help Alan out at
the counter for a few minutes?
I've gotta take a break.
- Oh sure, Jill.
I'll see you in a little while.
- Okay.
- Buy me a Coke?
- Oh sure.
- Harry,
do you know that you
and I are a lot alike?
- Really, Jill?
How's that?
- Well we both know what we want.
I mean, some people don't.
Well,
some people don't, you know what I mean?
- What are you getting at, Jill?
- Well, I wanted to apologize
for the way I acted at the party.
You know, at Mac's place.
- Oh, that.
Nah, don't be silly.
I had a lot to drink that night
and I was probably out of line.
- Oh no, you weren't, really.
I was irritable.
I was disappointed because
the experiment didn't work out right.
- You mean that witch thing?
(laughing)
You really didn't expect
that to work, did you?
- No, but I--
- Everybody knows there's
no such thing as witches.
(eerie music)
- Well, anyway, I'm sorry.
Hey, I've been thinking.
Maybe you and I oughta
get together sometime.
- You mean it, Jill?
You and me?
- Oh, you interest me, Harry,
and I thought we could just sometime--
- Sometime, huh?
Well, what's wrong with tonight?
- How could we possibly manage it?
I mean, I'm with Alan...
And Sharon?
- Listen, Jill,
like you said, we both know what we want.
There's nothing keeping
us from leaving right now.
- I've never walked out on a date before.
Why not?
Let's go.
(laughing)
Wait Harry, I forgot something.
I have to do something and
I do wanna change clothes.
I have a surprise for you.
- Oh, a surprise?
Well, okay.
Do you want me to meet
you at your place later?
- Oh no, Alan might come
there later looking for me.
Why don't I meet you somewhere else?
- All right.
Just tell me where and when.
- Do you know that grove of
trees behind the stadium?
I can meet you there
around 12 midnight.
- Oh yeah, fine.
I'll be there.
That's just an appetizer.
(menacing music)
(engine rumbling)
(tires screeching)
(eerie music)
(wind howling)
Jill?
Jill?
Jill?
- How thoughtful.
(laughing)
You brought a blanket.
Put it down over there.
Go on.
- You look terrific.
(wind howling)
- I brought something for you...
Us.
- Is that my surprise?
- It's part of it.
Sit down, Harry.
Here, have some.
- How about you?
- In a moment.
- Okay, cheers.
(eerie music)
(menacing music)
(fire crackling)
- You can not speak
Harry, so you do not try.
You can do nothing.
Nothing whatsoever except at my will
and my command.
- [Harry] "And beseech my lord, Lucifer,
"that you inscribe my name
in the book of death."
- And I will pay tribute
to him each 12 month,
my liege, lord Satan!
- "And that I will pay
tribute to him each 12 month,
"my liege, lord Satan."
- Accept his mark upon my body.
- "Accept his mark upon my body!"
- And submit myself to
him in body and soul!
- "And submit myself to
him in body and soul!"
- Forever into eternity.
- "Forever
"into eternity."
- Dine in hell,
the counsel of devils!
- Mac, she got away from me.
I think she took Harry.
- Where do you think they went?
I'm not sure.
It looked like she was
heading for the stadium.
Harry's car was going down
Highland last I saw him.
- Where does Harry go to make out?
- Th Grove.
They went to the Grove.
- Let's get out of her.
She mentioned the Grove
when we drew her that map.
(eerie music)
- Await.
Honor thy vow.
- No.
No!
(screaming)
(menacing music)
- Oh my god.
Alan!
Alan, don't touch anything.
(ominous music)
- My god, Mac.
Look.
- [Mac] Jill couldn't have done that.
She isn't strong enough.
- The Jill we know
couldn't have done that.
Mac, let's get out of here.
There's nothing we can
do for the poor guy now
and there's no way we're gonna
explain this to the police.
- If we could, the only
thing we could tell them
is that Jill is responsible.
- Come on, Mac, let's go.
- Alan.
Look.
(eerie music)
- Poor Harry was from Baltimore.
I didn't know that.
- Why Harry?
Why would you want to kill Harry?
He had nothing to do with all this.
- My dear, Alan,
if your little friend
has murderous impulses,
you can hardly blame it on me.
Call the police if you feel you must.
I can always get away.
It's only your Jill who can't.
- Alan.
Just how much longer are
you going to be with us?
- Until I've done what I've come to do.
And I will complete my purpose.
You will not stop me.
You can't stop me.
I am Jill for as long as I must be
and as long as I am,
you're helpless.
Do not forget that.
Perhaps it will not be for so much longer.
(knocking)
- You did it.
It's your fault that he was there.
You killed Harry!
- Sharon, I know how you
feel but you're wrong!
It's terrible what happened to Harry.
I understand how you feel.
- You couldn't understand.
- He loved you, Sharon,
he told me last night.
- How could I believe what you say?
- You've been so close to him.
You probably didn't see.
Harry grew up a lot in the last year.
He became more mature.
More serious.
Certainly more serious about you.
He wanted to marry you, Sharon.
He wanted me to tell him how to say it.
The truth is Sharon,
he wanted to marry you.
He wanted to propose to you.
But he didn't know how.
- Did he really say that?
- He did.
He was happy.
He was happy when I left him.
Happy he would see you this morning.
He could hardly wait.
- Oh, Jill.
- Oh, come on, Sharon.
Take a bit of this.
Come on, try to be strong.
You wouldn't want Harry to
know that you cried, would you?
Here.
Just take a drink of this.
For Harry.
A fitting memoriae.
(menacing music)
Yes, you can be with Harry, Sharon.
You will be.
Don't be afraid.
Just do as I say.
That is all you can do.
At my command you will
speak and you will walk
with such joys you never dreamed,
when you are one of the
devil's brotherhood.
You will be grateful forever.
When you are entered into our coven.
You will be honored with us.
Come.
Now.
It is time.
- Listen to this.
Sweeflag, mandrake, roots of aristolochia,
great and small cardamom.
- Great and small?
- Great and small.
- Ginger, long pepper
clove, pink cinnamein,
cloves, mace, nutmeg,
benzoin,
aloe, root and wood,
and fragrance sandal.
- What is all that stuff?
- Herbs.
Stimulants, mostly.
And aphrodisiacs.
Supposed to drive out evil spirits.
- How does it work?
- You brew it in three and one half quarts
of brandy and water.
Proportions unspecified.
After that, who knows.
Drink it yourself?
Pour it on the evil spirit?
Rub it in your hair?
Our reporter forgot to tell us any more
Of course, it's been copied wrong.
Or somebody tampered
with the formula later.
It's not aloe root.
Only the wood.
And they left out cupid seed.
(eerie music)
(wind howling)
- Accept his mark
upon my body.
- "Accept his mark
"upon my body."
- Submit myself to him
in body and soul.
- "Submit myself to him
"in body and soul."
- Forever into eternity.
- "Forever into eternity."
(eerie music)
- Dine in hell.
The council of the devil's.
- Honor thy vow!
(cackling)
- Hey Mac, I may have something here.
It looks...
(eerie music)
"Shadows upon shadows
"encircling
"the unholy one
"with the sign of the holy."
Hey, Mac?
Mac, wake up
- Sorry, Alan.
I must've dropped off.
- Mac, look at this.
- What?
- I just saw your hand write this.
- Alan, this is not time to get around.
That's not my handwriting.
- All I know is I watched you write it.
- Maybe this is it.
"Shadows upon shadows
"encircling the unholy one
with the sign of the holy."
(police siren alarming)
- [Loud Speaker] Lady, step back please.
Make room here, now.
Okay, coming through.
All right, all right.
Who discovered the body?
- [Reporter] Unit 12 to news.
- [Radio] Go ahead, unit 12.
- [Reporter] Bob, we got
a pretty bad one out here.
I just arrived a few moments ago.
I thought I would check with you.
I'm gonna do you two reports.
I'll do one for the 55
and then I'll do a little bit longer one
for the roundup later on this evening.
This is a white female in her early 20s.
It seems to be some kind
of ritualistic murder.
I say murder.
The ambulance has picked her up.
They are running code three
to the county hospital
but I believe she was 12
on the scene out here.
I think she'll be D.O.A.
Her name, according to
identification on the body,
was Sharon Hardgrave
but withhold that name.
The county medical examiner
will have to clear that later
after sending notification of her family.
I don't know whether
they're from here in town
or whether she lives in some other city.
All I could see was a lot
of blood on the ground.
Kind of a gory thing out here.
We'll have to play that up
a little bit in the story
and so let me get around here
and talk to some of these people,
but meanwhile, let me
give you one for the 55.
Why don't you roll me a tape.
- [Bob] Go ahead, unit 12, tape rolling.
- [Reporter] A blaze of auto lights
cut through the misty
night here in the Groves,
just behind university field.
Bathed in the lights is a
body looking small and lonely,
covered with a sheet.
Underneath that sheet
is the mutilated body
of a blonde university coed.
(police siren alarming)
- [Mac] Okay, fella,
hit the floor, we have a lot to do today.
- Thank you.
I must've just passed out.
I don't even remember going to sleep.
- You can't exorcize
witches on an empty stomach.
How do you like your eggs?
Over easy?
- Just give me some coffee.
You know?
If we could just get her to tell us
what she's going to do next.
I mean,
maybe Harry was enough.
She said she had a mission,
a thing she had to do.
Maybe she's done it.
I don't see why we just
don't ask her what she's--
(phone ringing)
- Dr. Stuart, here.
Yes.
What?
When?
Do they have any idea what...
I see.
Thank you for calling.
- Mac?
What?
- Sharon.
They found her body in
the Grove last night.
She's dead.
Just like Harry.
- You know we've got to...
Good Lord, two murders.
- Oh really, gentlemen, I
haven't murdered anybody.
I can't help that your 20th
century people are so fragile.
Now we were much stronger
stuff, MacEntire.
- Let's just get this straight right now.
We're not standing by
while you kill at random!
Now if it means turning you
or Jill in to the police,
we're doing it and now!
- Very well, I have
accomplished the purpose
for which I was sent.
I have no further need
for this Jill of yours.
- [Mac] Then what can we do?
How do we get her back?
- Oh, I'm afraid you
must reverse the charm.
You don't just snap your
fingers or wave a wand.
Actually, you're in luck, you know.
Tomorrow the signs are right.
You may have had to wait
until the next full moon.
But it will work tomorrow.
- You said reverse the charm?
Does that mean all those
people have to be here?
The whole group?
- No, that's not essential
if we could have a token,
a symbol, an object, that would be enough.
- What kind of object?
- A ring, a shoe,
a piece of clothing, no matter.
Just something to represent
them in the circle.
I would rather they were not here, really.
It becomes a distraction.
- The hardware store was closed tonight
so I had to go to one of
those driving grocery stores.
This was all the extension
cord I could get.
Will it be enough?
- Yeah, I think so.
- Mac, is it gonna work?
- I don't know.
Look, maybe she means it.
Maybe she will bring Jill back.
- But you don't think so.
- No, I don't think so.
She's certainly given us
no reason to trust her.
No, I think she has
something else in mind.
God knows what.
Give me an object of yours.
- What do you mean?
- [Mac] There's no reason
for you to be here.
Give me an object and get out of here.
- No, I'm not leaving.
She's my girl.
They were my friends.
There's no way I could leave.
- All right.
I think this thing will work.
I don't know for sure.
She's due here at 10.
It's set to go off at 10:15.
If she's on the level,
switch it off before then.
If she is planning something,
we just have to hope this thing
does what it's supposed to do.
- Look,
you know what you're doing.
All this stuff,
it's gonna do the job for us.
- With the automatic
timer, it'll do something,
whether we're able to or not.
(eerie music)
- North
and south
and west
and east.
Devil's brother, mark me well.
Prepare my thrown
for me in Hell.
(liquid trickling)
Readmit me
to the feast.
With this cup, we seal our vow.
(eerie music)
Long remember.
Long be known.
Greet me, Priestess,
as your own.
I bring you the Stuart.
Now.
(menacing music)
(eerie music)
(foreboding music)
(unsettling music)
(poofing)
Yard Hey.
Vor He.
Blessed be.
(eerie music)
Ancient ones.
Come forth at my command.
Revel with your sister
and her triumph on Earth.
Reinforce our circle,
which renews its strength tonight.
Our curse laid black and
heavy upon the Stuart
and tonight he returns among us.
Ours forever.
I call forth my coven!
Those 10 remaining faithful in our vows.
These many centuries.
Two I deliver on to you
and at long and bitter last,
himself,
who worked our evil into foul betrayal
and shameful death!
My blood kin of the coven,
raise high the power of the
magic of your witch names
and take this world,
for we shall rule
and we, alone.
Mahonin of the third hierarchy,
second order of archangels,
return thee onto the earth.
(eerie music)
Dagon, my prince!
Your long death hath ended.
Belphagor!
(eerie whistling)
Caladet!
(eerie whistling)
Asmodeus!
(whistling)
Arfaxzat.
Calconex.
(whistling)
Aladonous.
Honored one.
Leviathan.
Come forth!
Our converts, answer to
your witch names now.
Belberouth.
Take your place in our circle
here for the first time
and forever more.
And Siteph.
Come forth!
You laughed the day I hanged, Stuart.
No, not even that.
I could have laughed with you.
But you stood there, unmoved.
So cold.
Unpitying.
Nor yet remembered what we too had been.
I was the stronger then, MacEntire.
You see that now?
I've come to take you back,
through years of time.
Time's nothing to the
devil's favored child.
(foreboding music)
(screaming)
(unsettling music)
(screaming)
(screaming)
- Get Jill out of here!
(ominous music)
Alan, get the cross!
She's closing her eyes!
- No!
No!
(ominous music)
(eerie music)
(menacing music)
(wind howling)
(thudding)
