:08:00
Oh, yes. I'd forgotten.
I'm sorry. Thank you.
:08:03
What medicine?
:08:10
Laudanum.
:08:13
Guy, is this the cause of--
:08:15
No. Not a cause. An effect.
:08:17
Without it, I couldn't sleep.
:08:23
Guy, tell me.
:08:25
I should never have gone
With your father...
:08:27
and those other doctors
that night.
:08:29
I'm interested only
in private research.
:08:32
I can never forget
that poor Wretch...
:08:35
Whose grave they robbed.
:08:38
His staring eyes...
:08:40
his clutching hands...
:08:43
his fingernails
broken and bloody...
:08:45
from the vain attempt
to claW aWay...
:08:47
the lid of that coffin.
:08:50
You see, all this has
a special meaning for me, Emily.
:08:55
For years,
I've lived in dread...
:08:56
of being buried alive.
:09:01
Can you possibly conceive it?
:09:05
The unendurable
oppression of the lungs...
:09:09
the stifling fumes
of the damp earth...
:09:12
the rigid embrace
of the coffin...
:09:15
the blackness
of absolute night...
:09:19
and the silence...
:09:22
Iike an overwhelming sea.
:09:25
And then,
invisible in the darkness...
:09:28
but all too hideously real
to the other senses--
:09:31
the presence
of the conqueror Worm.
:09:34
Guy!
:09:40
I'm sorry.
:09:42
These are just morbid fantasies.
:09:44
I'm afraid not.
:09:46
Every member of my family...
:09:47
has met With a violent
and horrible death.
:09:50
I noW Wait my turn.
:09:52
HoW did your father die?
:09:54
Catalepsy.
:09:56
Do you knoW What that is?
