Crystal Force (1992) - full transcript

At John's funeral, a seemingly kind old man stands near John's widow Hope. He is the master of The Crystal, possessor of its light and terror. Hope accepts The Crystal in good faith, praying it contains New Age love powers. But she has gravely miscalculated.

[music playing]

There is a force

fearsomely formed,

not unknown to those on the

path to darkness, at which hell

is a playground.

It is poised to spring

through the five-corner door

of death, the pentacle.

Behind this door, it

prepares itself in the void

called the dark appetite.

Patient, it awaits its

summoning by the funereal wails

of grievers.

It strikes at a time

of grief and mourning,

as if to mock death and

any hope of a hereafter.

[music playing]

As the Lord giveth life,

so he taketh it away.

But the love we

create with the soul

granted us shall live forever.

Sanctifying that

which is eternal

is what we do here today.

We honor Howard Hunter,

and say our goodbyes

to this devoted husband

and beloved father.

And we must remember that

death shall have no dominion.

No!

No, don't take him away from me!

[wailing and screaming]

I'll take you back home now.

No, Jack, we're gonna walk.

Looks like there's

a storm coming.

It's OK.

Really.

[music playing]

The Reverend gave that same

graveside speech a few years

ago when my stepfather died.

Oh, I know.

They all say the same thing,

like they're forced to memorize

it in God's school,

or wherever it

is they learned to do burials.

Do burials?

Yeah, like they do weddings.

I think what you mean to say is

the Reverend conducts funerals.

Did you take speech classes

at that beauty school you're

so proud of graduating from?

What's wrong with you?

Is my daughter

being a wise ass?

She's just a kid.

Don't make excuses for her.

Oh, Millie, don't

be too hard on her.

Some people just don't

know how to react to--

To death?

Good guess.

Let's have some coffee.

Excuse me.

So you're gonna close the shop

up for a while, aren't you?

Oh, a couple of days.

But you know if I'm not

working, I'll probably go crazy.

Why don't you and your mother

take a couple of weeks off?

Why don't you go somewhere?

Jack, listen, our

lives are here.

And besides, I don't--

I don't want to be

away from you for a minute.

OK, baby.

Whatever you need,

Beth, I'm here for you.

Whatever you need.

And if you don't come

to me, I'll come to you.

And I won't take

no for an answer.

Can you give me one good

why I shouldn't seduce Jack?

Because it isn't right.

Especially now.

Doesn't that mean

anything to you?

Oh, sure.

But now, Christ, the

girl's father just died.

Don't you think your

timing is just a bit off?

No.

The timing's perfect.

She's going to be a

real drag to be with,

and Jack's going to be dying

for it before Beth ever

even feels like doing it again.

That's when it's

Lurlene's showtime.

You really are

evil, aren't you?

No, just a girl who

knows what she wants,

and when and how to get it.

Even if I may really only

want to do it with him once.

Maybe twice.

And you think it's worth

it, just for getting laid?

Provided he buys into

your charms to start with.

Oh, he'll be

charmed, all right.

And no one except you, me

and Jack would ever know.

He's certainly not going

to say anything, is he?

Would you, if you were him?

I won't admit to knowing

anything about it.

I won't even admit

to knowing you.

But you do.

And he's going to.

Or I'll be damned.

You know, I'm going

to be checking on you.

Your friends are not

gonna let you hide.

Oh, thank you, Millie.

I'd like to stop by tomorrow

night, if that's OK with you.

Yes.

I would like that very much.

You know, Val, what

gets me the most

is that Dad won't be there at

the wedding to give me away.

My dad never made

it that far, either.

He died somewhere

between my sweet 16 party

and my high school graduation.

Hey.

What about your

wedding, anyway, huh?

What about it?

I don't know.

What about Jack?

Is he nervous?

Jack's not nervous.

I'm nervous.

It's me who's nervous.

Will you take this?

Sure.

I'm just shaking.

Now, um, even though Daddy

and I had our problems,

I just never thought that

I'd miss him like this.

I think your biggest

problem is that you

probably loved him too much.

Honey, don't worry.

Jack's there for you.

He's gonna help you

through all of this.

[knocking on door]

Val, why don't you go

home and get some rest?

I'll take over now.

Hope's finally cried herself to

sleep downstairs on the couch,

so be quiet on your way out.

Thanks.

[knocking on door]

Hi.

Hi.

I thought I could

get the two of you

to come over for a while.

It's been a couple of days now.

Yeah, well, let's go talk

to Mom and see how she feels.

Mom?

Val's here to see us.

Val wants to take us out.

I don't know where.

Where do you want to take us?

Anywhere.

Lunch, or a movie, or shopping?

Whatever.

It doesn't matter.

Just out.

I don't think so, sweetheart.

I'm not quite ready to

see anybody just yet.

She doesn't want me to go.

Oh, no, of course not.

Please, Beth, you go with her.

I just want to be alone

for a couple of hours.

Honey, you go with her.

I'm asking you to.

I don't want to leave

you here by yourself.

Beth, I know you mean well.

I just want to be alone

for a couple of hours.

I want you to go.

Mom, are you sure?

I'm sure.

OK.

You know, I've always

loved this store,

but I never bought anything.

It's too expensive.

Rumor has it some strange

guy bought this place.

They say he'll give you a

bargain if he likes you.

Yeah?

This is a really weird place.

I think it's wonderful.

What's weird is that no one

seems to be minding the store.

Let's leave.

Leave?

Empty-handed?

I won't hear of it.

In fact, nothing's tagged.

Everything's negotiable.

In fact, I've been known to

give the unsuspecting shopper

the bargain of a lifetime.

What's this?

A bag of tricks?

A bag of answers.

They're called runes.

You ask a question, then

select some tiles at random.

These symbols

supply the answers.

Well I have a lot

of questions, but I

can't read in hieroglyphics.

Beth?

Take a look at this.

[music playing]

It's captivating.

Mhm.

Captor or captive,

which is which?

Crystals radiate and reflect.

Attract and repel.

There are some who say they hold

secrets only time will tell.

It's warm.

Warm with the light

that's burning within it.

Did you know that man

and crystal are related?

Both 80% silicon,

hard-pressed and mysterious.

You just have to

have it, right?

Well, go ahead and

make yourself happy.

Buy it.

How much?

$50.

50?

Sold.

Beth, you're supposed

to bargain with him.

That's OK.

This was meant for you.

$25.

Who said anything about not

depending upon the kindness

of a stranger?

Well, thank you very

much, kind stranger.

Do you take milk?

Oh, no.

I'm so happy you're

staying here with Beth.

Well it's-- it's very

comforting being here,

although it's a little strange

living at my daughter's.

I just hope I don't become

too dependent on her.

Reverend, I'm too young

to have this sort of thing

happen to me.

You're bitter with the Lord.

I'm not bitter, Reverend.

And I'm not angry with God.

I'm just angry at the

injustice of death.

Anger destroys.

Now you must--

Good evening, Reverend Peters.

Hi.

Hi, Mom.

What'd you buy?

Well, I bought

something for the house.

Not that I needed anything

new, but I figured the place

could use a little cheering up.

Well what is it?

It is a crystal.

I bought it on impulse.

Impulse or credit?

Would you like a cup of coffee?

No, thanks.

You know what they say about

crystals is that they're

actually a life form.

It's very pretty.

Thank you.

[phone ringing]

Oh, excuse me, I

bet that's Jack.

She's such an angel.

What's wrong?

I-- I don't know.

Maybe I'm coming down with a--

I'll get you some aspirin.

[screaming]

Are you all right?

Oh, oh no.

Are you having a heart attack?

No, it's not my-- heart--

it's-- I don't know.

I felt like I was in

the grip of something.

I can't explain it.

Should we call the doctor, Mom?

I don't know.

No, I-- I just want to go home.

Tonight I'll-- I'll put

myself in the Lord's hands.

And if I don't feel

better tomorrow,

I'll put myself in a

doctor's hands, I promise.

Goodnight, Reverend.

God bless you.

[music playing]

Not so hungry

today, boys, are we?

Not fresh enough for you?

Had to dig too deep?

Just you wait for Christmas.

I planned a Christmas

dinner for you.

A real treat.

I'll serve you platters filled

with flying reindeer meat.

[cackling]

[ominous music playing]

[weeping]

[weeping louder]

[screaming]

Yeah, things can

get strange at night.

With Beth, it's a dream.

With me, I remember

when my husband died,

I was afraid the quiet was

going to scare me half to death.

You were afraid

you'd be scared?

Oh, you know what she means.

The point is, I wouldn't

allow myself to be afraid,

even though I had good reason.

It-- it never got

completely quiet.

It's a good thing my mother's

not here to hear this.

I'd hear mice in the

attic or a tree branch

scraping the roof in the wind.

Oh and sometimes, when the

refrigerator would turn off,

it made this creaking noise.

Sounded just like Ed's snores.

Really.

But it-- it wasn't scary.

It was familiar.

No, it was crazy-making.

Maybe I dreamed it all up.

Damn.

Oh I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

What do we have, a bloodbath

special going here or what?

It's all right.

Don't worry about it.

It's just a little blood.

Even if it is my blood.

You guys just love rituals.

-Hey, Beth.

-Hey, Veronica.

Beth.

Can you give me

a quick comb out?

Sure can.

Hey, Veronica.

Oh hey, Von.

Looks nice.

Thanks.

Thanks very much, Beth.

I'll see you next week.

OK.

Bye.

Bye.

Great-looking crystal.

Beth bought it at

the antique shop.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Oh, it's gorgeous.

I felt like I needed

a little something.

You know, we've all been

under so much stress lately.

To say the least.

Well why don't I try a little

magic to lift your spirits?

Save it for the men

in your life, dear.

What's the magic, Veronica?

Booze?

I don't drink booze.

Only distilled spirits.

But you're right.

No real magic.

Not with men, God

knows, or otherwise.

Actually, I do fool

around with trying to stay

in touch with the mysterious.

No, seriously.

What do you do?

Magic tricks?

Parlor tricks?

Cheap tricks?

Cheap tricks?

I can make contact,

however indirect,

with the spirit world.

I happen to be a

direct descendant of

a strange and paranormal type.

So that explains you.

I always though you were

just a talented bullshitter.

No bull.

My grandmother

used to read palms.

Her and my grandfather,

they had this

little fortune-telling place on

the boardwalk in Coney Island.

Back in the '50s.

No kidding.

No.

Would somebody with

gypsy blood running

through their

varicose veins kids?

I'm serious.

Grandma Olga could

people about themselves

just by feeling the

bumps on their head.

She could tell you

whether you were going

to have a happy life or a

miserable one just by the way

you signed your name.

Graphology.

Graphology,

numerology, astrology.

She was into everything.

My mother claims that she

taught Nancy Reagan's astrologer

everything she knows.

Is this grandmother

of yours still alive?

No.

But do you want to hear

something really weird?

What?

She was born on Halloween.

And then she died on the sixth

day of the sixth month in 1966.

Did she teach you stuff?

Well I picked up

some stuff from her

because she used to

babysit me a lot, you know?

When other kids were learning

how to play Casino or Fish,

I was given tarot

cards to play with.

You really believe

she was a gypsy?

I don't think so.

I think it was just

part of an act.

But maybe not.

You know, she was

from Eastern Europe.

Maybe She was a witch.

She used to love to

watch Bewitched on TV.

No, but seriously,

she did watch a lot

of witchcraft movies on TV

with me when I was little.

And she'd root for

the witches, of course.

Now admit it, Veronica.

You're just putting

on an act, too.

Am not.

Let's call her bluff.

Read my palm.

You got laid last night.

I did?

Oh, no, you didn't.

But you do dye your hair.

I do that.

And you do your own

nails, and your boyfriend

does the rest of you.

What boyfriend?

You're right, I haven't

been laid in months.

Oh, come on, what

about her future?

Yeah.

Well, sorry, I can't

do any more of this now.

I've got to run.

Wait a minute.

I've got an idea.

What about night?

What if I called up a bunch of

people and everybody came over

and we could make fun

and games out of it?

I love it.

I could live without it.

Come on, you guys.

It would take my mom's

mind off of things.

OK.

Tonight.

About, say, 8:30.

Great.

Yeah.

Yeah, Jack, a seance.

Well I don't know if

it's a good idea or not.

Look, I'm not asking

you to participate.

I know you have to work.

So you'll come over after work?

OK.

I love you too.

Bye.

Jack isn't sure we should be

getting involved in a seance

now.

Although I don't know why not.

Mom, have you ever

dabbled in the occult?

No, not really.

[doorbell ringing]

I'll get it.

You ready to work your magic?

Ready to enter the

world of escape.

That's just what we all need.

Can I go set up now?

Set up?

Oh, yeah, you're

guru for the night.

Veronica, by the way, I want you

to lie to my mother in the end

just to make her happy.

I don't care what you

say, just make it happen.

Please make it good.

You got it.

[doorbell ringing]

Hi, Beth.

How's your mother?

Oh, she's doing

good, Mrs. Rogers.

Is Veronica here?

Yeah, she's setting

up in the dining room.

How you doing?

Doing better.

Hi.

How are ya?

Good.

I'm looking forward to this.

It's gonna be fun.

You think so?

Yeah.

Hi, Beth.

Can you believe

we're doing this?

Yeah.

This better be good.

It will be.

Are you ready for your

bedtime stories, my babies?

There was once a time

before the dawn of history

when time did not matter.

There was nothing to be

born, nothing to die,

no reason for time to go by.

And the master spirit,

the most powerful

force of all, so

fearsomely formed,

was called the first one.

OK, future seekers of America.

Are you ready?

We're ready.

-Ready.

-Yeah.

OK.

Let's go.

Well let me see

a show of hands.

Good, because I'm going to need

one of them from each of you

later.

Veronica, you did

palms this afternoon.

I thought you were going to do

something different tonight.

Like tea leaves.

Like mice droppings.

Yeah, I read somewhere people

read them like tea leaves.

-Oh, come on.

-Yeah.

She's right.

People do read them.

And they always spell shit.

I have something different.

I brought some other things.

Cards.

Tarot cards.

No, not tarot cards.

These are cartouche cards.

Egyptian magic.

The kind that, uh, Cleopatra

used to use on her lovers,

right?

She didn't use magic.

She used sex.

Sex, magic, it's all the same.

Anyway.

These cards are just

for telling the future.

You can't use them on somebody

else the way you mean.

What else you got there?

Runes, Viking fortune telling.

These little symbols

on the runes,

you play a little game

with them and then

you look them up in the book and

you know what's in your future.

We've seen those before, Beth.

Mhm.

The precursor was

born out of blackness

before there was light.

He created God, who

created heaven and earth.

He created the devil,

who then made his hell.

And the precursor

created for them

an ageless battle

for the control

of both saints and sinners.

But there proved to be

neither triumph nor loss,

and the precursor grew

impatient with the battle.

And so said his emissary,

creating for him a pentacle

whose threshold he would cross.

Now we have our choice.

We can see what the Vikings want

to tell us about our future,

what the Egyptians

want to tell us,

and what with gypsies

want to tell us.

So who's first?

Me.

For you, I have

something special.

Pulse channeling.

What the hell is

pulse channeling?

It sounds like something that

has to do with blood pressure.

Like when mine goes up when

I see Billy Idol on MTV.

You watch MTV?

Just Billy.

Oh, and David Lee Roth, too.

All the rest of

them, I could leave.

They are cute-looking

boys, aren't they?

All right, Michelle.

Don't quit after just two.

You should check

out the ass on--

Shut it, Lurlene.

OK.

Let's get on with this.

All right.

Now you get a chance

to ask three questions,

and I'll give you three answers.

The pulse from your

wrists, from your throat,

and from your temples.

OK?

Uh-huh.

Now I'll start

to talk real fast

after you ask me the question.

It'll be my voice,

but it really will

be answering your question.

OK?

I get it.

Touch-Tone telepathy.

No fooling.

You know it may not be

scientific, but it does work.

Hm, what's science

got to do with it.

Let her finish.

I want to hear this.

All right, you get three

questions and three answers.

Ready?

Mhm.

Just don't ask out loud.

Solo, water.

Did you think you were trying

to blow out birthday candles?

Well, did I-- did I

answer the question?

You might have.

I asked about my vacation.

I answered it.

You'll go overseas to

an island, a cruise.

That sounds great.

Except I don't

like the solo part.

I hate traveling alone.

What I want to know

is why did it take you

so long to ask that question?

Well, I-- I kind of had to

explain why I was going to take

a vacation again so soon.

You guys all know I went

to Las Vegas last month.

I just can't stand

staying home alone.

You thought you had

to explain that to us?

No, I-- I was just trying

to rationalize it to myself.

Oh.

That's normal.

K.

Hey, you'd better skip

her ahead and throw it,

it'll take all night.

Well I don't have

any more questions

for the spirits, Your Honor.

Your High Priestess.

Beth, you ready?

It's your turn.

Give me your palm.

You're shaking.

It comes with age.

It comes with stress.

Well I won't be able

to read your palm.

we'll do something else.

If I tried to read your

palm, I'd be stuttering.

Let's try the cards.

OK.

I'm going to put down three

cards, and you turn one over.

Well, what's the problem?

What does it mean?

Well, it just

reflects bad times.

But everyone picks

this card every time.

It's just that everybody

has bad times in their life.

Right.

You don't have to patronize me.

Forget the cards,

we'll do something else.

The crystal.

Let's have a seance.

Oh come, let's all join hands.

OK.

All join hands.

Close your eyes.

Concentrate.

We're calling up the spirits.

[ominous music]

Hi.

What was that?

What the hell was that?

I saw it.

I saw it my mind.

It was an angel--

Oh, sure you did.

And Veronica we can bet can

pull a rabbit out of a hat, too.

That was no trick.

Not all of it.

It wasn't?

No, it wasn't.

Oh, sure.

And what about the voices?

The voices were

no trick either.

Well trick or no

trick, it was amazing.

Look, you guys, I

hope you don't mind,

but I'd like to call it a night.

I've got to be up

early for work, right?

Right.

There's coffee in the kitchen.

Look.

I know it was probably

my imagination,

but I felt Howard trying

to contact me tonight.

I felt his presence in the room.

It was very strong and powerful,

like he was trying to reassure

me that he was still around.

It's kind of spooky, isn't it?

Mom, you're saying

this like you mean it,

like you believe it.

I felt it, that's all.

Come on, Mrs. Hunter.

Listen.

Do you girls think

we could possibly

do this again tomorrow night?

I'm game.

Well if you really want me

to call Veronica, I will.

I do.

Well, let's try

it again sometime.

Goodnight, you two.

Goodnight.

I'm going to see Jack.

Oh damn it.

I must have left my

pocketbook in the house.

Be a decent kid, will you,

Lurlene, and go get it for me?

OK.

I'll be right back.

[ominous music]

What is keeping her?

We've got to get home.

[distant screaming]

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

[cackling]

Help.

Get out.

We have to get the

hell out of here.

What are you screaming about?

What's going on with you?

Get out of here.

Who was it you saw?

Something evil, a demon,

it looked right at me with--

Listen, Lurlene.

You've got to show me

where you saw this thing.

Are you crazy?

I'm not going back in there.

I'll go check it out.

[ominous music playing]

I always thought that girl

was a little unbalanced.

[sobbing]

What did you find?

Nothing.

No boogeymen, no scary ghosts.

Nothing.

I don't care what you

say, I know what I saw.

Look, I'm bleeding.

I swear.

I swear, I know I was.

We're not staying

here any longer, Mom.

Let's go.

Slow down, Lurlene.

Listen, we've got to

get the hell out of here.

Let's go.

[ominous music playing]

[moaning]

Beth, what's the matter,

are you all right?

I'm-- I'm having a-- a dream.

Just a dream.

[eerie music playing]

See the shape fiercely formed,

be it amphibian or reptilian,

simian or sapian, with razor

teeth, tusks, talons, or claws.

In feathers or furs, dressed

in scales or dragon skin,

it comes creeping, slithering,

bleating, hooting, hissing.

[screaming]

Good morning.

You look like hell.

You can't go in there.

Why not?

Because there's blood

all over the floor.

Dogs, vicious dogs,

and the Reverend

is on the floor with

his skull cracked open.

It's horrible.

What are you talking about?

The neighbor's dog?

Wha-- what's his name?

Sparky?

God, Sparky must be really

getting to you, huh?

What'd he do, bark all night?

It's not Sparky.

Go on, show me.

Come on.

Beth, show me.

I swear it.

Beth, Beth, looks,

there's nothing, OK?

There's nothing here.

It's all right.

Look, I am telling

you that there were

dogs in here drinking blood.

You must have had

some nightmare.

How could it have

been a nightmare?

I was awake.

I got up this morning,

I put on my clothes,

I ate, I came to work.

You were either sleepwalking in

the middle of a nightmare or--

Or what?

I don't know what.

Let me tell you

something, Lurlene.

Whatever happened last night

was planted there by Veronica.

High priestess, my ass.

And I say she's a witch.

Oh--

That sure wasn't

anything natural

that attacked me last night.

[ominous music playing]

Good day, Reverend.

You would have me believe that

some monster materialized out

of nowhere, couldn't

resist your sex appeal,

and went after your tits?

I thought you were going to

lighten up on the stupidity,

or at least have a little

respect for my intelligence

and cut it out with

this monster crap.

You're the moron, Winnie.

You're going back there tonight.

I sure as hell am

not going back there.

You are so seductive, such a

powerful center of attraction.

So beautiful, just irresistible.

Thanks for taking me.

You really feel like

you have to thank me?

I'm just thankful to have you.

You know you never

have to question that.

You look quite beautiful.

[ominous music playing]

Will I see you tonight?

I don't know.

Maybe for a few hours.

I have a surveillance.

I could make a phone

call and go in late.

Well that means that

you'll get off later.

So why don't you just go

in when you're supposed to

and I'll close the shop early?

We've gotta spend

some time alone.

There's never enough time.

I know how much time

we're going to spend apart,

even after we're married.

Come on, Beth.

Are we going to argue

about my career again?

Or are we going to, considering

we haven't in a week,

make love?

OK.

There's no argument.

I'll see you at 5:00.

Well screw you, Mom,

and your ideas about me.

What's the matter?

Look, I'm not going

back to that house again.

I don't give a damn

whether you believe

I was attacked there or not.

I wish you weren't such a liar.

Where are you going?

Hi, sweetheart.

Hi.

I hope I'm not

being too selfish.

It's just that I had to be

alone with you, at least

for a few hours, at last.

Away from all those parlor

games at your house.

Yeah, I know.

Don't you think I

feel the same way?

You're looking brighter,

a little bit at least.

Well that's because

I'm with you.

[ominous sounds]

Everybody's been

so crazy lately.

Veronica's holding another

seance at our house.

Mm.

I'm holding you like--

I need more than that.

[music playing]

[panting]

[moaning]

Why did I ever let you girls

talk me into this silly stuff?

Because if it's good

enough for Shirley MacLaine,

it's good enough for us.

OK.

Then maybe I can get

Veronica to channel

up my ex-lover, John Lennon.

Ooh, maybe she can reach

back for Clark Gable.

You're better off asking

for Laurel and Hardy.

You guys ready?

Let's go.

Yeah.

[knocking on door]

Hello.

Thanks for coming.

Veronica's preparing

herself for the seance.

I bet.

Please make yourself

at home while we wait.

Thanks.

Are you going to be

here when I get back?

I get off around midnight.

Mm.

No.

I'm gonna go back to my place.

I want to lay down and relax.

Should I expect you

about, what, 12:30?

1 o'clock more like it.

I have a big bust

to make tonight,

so there'll be a

lot of paperwork.

You know how

Saturday nights are.

Yeah.

Well don't go

looking for trouble.

I know.

It's your job.

That's right.

You look exhausted.

Why don't you just stay

here and get some rest?

I should really get back.

OK.

I'll call you in a couple hours.

Promise?

I promise.

The power is within me to

bring forces from beyond.

I swear by any which

shall guide me.

I shall sacrifice for silence

any who may doubt them.

The power is within me to

bring forces from beyond.

Beth, is that you?

Not Cinderella.

I'm really tired.

I'm going to go

upstairs and lay down.

If you need anything,

you can call me, Mom.

Goodnight, honey.

Goodnight, ladies.

Goodnight, sweetheart.

[suspenseful music playing]

The candles light the path

for the spirits to travel.

The incense cleanses

and purifies the air.

The spirits draw their physical

power from the crystal.

All stand, please.

Join hands and form a circle.

The circle will let the

spirits know that we

are in accord with them.

Everyone close your eyes.

Be as quiet and

still as possible so

that I may center myself with

the vibrations of the universe.

[panting]

[cackling]

The dark force.

Spirits.

What are they saying?

Shh.

I don't hear anybody.

They're gone.

The talking

frightened them away.

I didn't hear anything.

Excuse me, I've got

to use the lady's room.

I heard something.

Me, too.

I don't know what.

Some people are more

in tune with the spirit

world than others.

All be seated.

I'll use the crystal to

channel an individual spirit.

[cackling]

The spirit that I channel will

answer all of your questions.

[chanting]

The channel is open.

[chanting]

The channel is now open.

Do you see behind you?

There's a pentacle.

It is the easiest way for an

entity to enter our world.

[gagging]

I feel the spirits coming.

The spirits are coming.

[screaming]

I knew I shouldn't have come!

It's the crystal.

It's hot.

Val, help.

What do I do?

[cackling]

[screaming]

[all screaming]

There's a monster in the house!

What's going on?

[screaming]

Bill, call for backup.

You've gotta get

out of the house.

No, I'm scared.

You have to hurry.

Just go straight ahead.

Run straight ahead.

As fast as you can.

Go.

[siren wailing]

You're here!

There's a monster in the house!

There's a monster in the house!

My friends are in there!

Please help me!

[screaming]

I can't move!

Don't be afraid, everything's

going to be all right.

[gunshots]

[cackling]

[screaming]

[sobbing]

[screaming]

It's the crystal.

Are you here to see Beazle?

What?

Like anything you see?

You scared me.

That's not really my job.

I'm here to help.

Would you like to buy something?

Yes, please, a

present for my mother.

Something shiny.

Something more brilliant,

more powerful than gold,

shall your mother behold.

All I got is $5.

Well $5 will never do.

This is priceless.

But priceless means

it's free to you.

Free?

A gift from me to you.

And you give it to your mother.

It will be a secret

between us two.

Gee, thanks.

[cackling]

Others will pay the

price for my generosity.
