The Oblong Box

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Is it the power of black magic, Ross's confidence to make palms up?
2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Vincent Price.
3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Christopher Lee.
4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
And the mysterious man in the red mask.
5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
My brother Edward has died.
6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
When is he going to be buried?
7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
As soon as you found another body.
8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Do you realize a penalty for body snatching his hanging?
9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
You're a forger and an embezzler.
10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000
And now you're going to become a body snatcher.
11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
The morbid menace of Vincent Price.
12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
The threatens the woman he loves.
13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
The diabolic delvings of Christopher Lee.
14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Placing his scientific madness above the law.
15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
To assist you in your experiments.
16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
I want in keeping this some of those two hungry
17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
for sensual pleasures called out to the living dead.
18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Waking up in that horrible, oblong box.
19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,000
No for to breathe.
20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Every shovel's foot waiting down on the lid.
21
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
God, Trench, you know what that means?
22
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
It means that my brother was buried alive.
23
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
We're not talking about actors.
24
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,000
We mean a real monster.
25
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
I brought her back.
26
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
She'll live and I'll get her another body.
27
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
I know thry’re gonna catch me but don't let anyone see me like that! Please, doctor. help me!
28
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Biologically speaking, it's a primary important that man should want to mate.
29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Hey, that’s right!
30
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
You don't get all your kicks from surfing, do you?
31
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
We want to be free to ride our machines without being hassled by the man.
32
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
And we want to get loaded.
33
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
You think you're going to make a slave of the world?
34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
I'll see you on top first!
35
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000
The American International Podcast.
36
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Are you ready?
37
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
This is the American International Podcast with Jeff Markin.
38
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,000
And Cheryl Lightfoot.
39
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,000
And in this episode we're climbing inside the oblong box from 1969.
40
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000
The oblong box was produced and directed by Gordon Hesler from a screenplay by Lauren Tuntington.
41
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
With the additional dialogue provided by Christopher Wicking.
42
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,000
And it was all based on the oblong box by Edgar Allen Poe.
43
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Loosely based.
44
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Or so they say.
45
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
What I was going to say.
46
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
The oblong box stars Vincent Price as Julian Markham.
47
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Christopher Lee as Dr. Neuhart.
48
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Rupert Davies as Joshua Kemp.
49
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Uta Levka as Heidi .
50
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Sally Geeson as Sally.
51
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Alister Williamson as Sir Edward Markham .
52
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Peter Arne as Samuel Trench.
53
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Hillary Dwyer as Lady Elizabeth Markham.
54
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Maxwell Shaw as Tom Hackett .
55
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Carl Rigg as Mark Norton.
56
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Harry Baird as N'Galo.
57
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
It also stars Godfrey James as Weller .
58
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
James Mellor as Harry Holt.
59
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
John Barry as Franklin.
60
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Ivor Dean as Hawthorne.
61
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Danny Daniels as the Witchdoctor.
62
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Michael Balfour as Ruddock.
63
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Hira Talfrey as Martha.
64
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
John Wentworth as the Parson.
65
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Colin Jeavons as the doctor.
66
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Martin Wyldeck as Constable.
67
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Zeph Gladstone as Trench's Girl.
68
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
And the Oh! Ogunde Dancers as Voodoo Celebrants.
69
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,000
The Oblong Box opens very differently from any of the A.I.P.
70
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Both films that have come before.
71
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Or most A.I.P. films in general.
72
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:21,000
We find ourselves in a big hut with the Oh! Ogunde Dancers as they're doing some sort of ritual.
73
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
There's dancing, music, and a special guest.
74
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:31,000
A white man is brought into the hut and nailed to some sort of wooden ex-trusivex thing.
75
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Outside Vincent Price is ambling through the jungle.
76
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,000
It's nighttime.
77
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000
He's not Vincent Price though.
78
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
This is Sir Julian Markham.
79
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Well, no one has told us that yet though.
80
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Inside the hut, a tribal leader is banishing a knife at the man who has been nailed up.
81
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
But we only are seeing this through his point of view.
82
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
We don't get to see what the person on the cross looks like.
83
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Julian, outside, sees a goat hanging upside down, the blood draining from its body.
84
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Inside, the tribal leader's knife is also bloody.
85
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,000
And he performs a ritual that is clearly not for the benefit of the man nailed to the cross.
86
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Outside, Julian is caught by two tribal members.
87
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000
But he breaks free and runs into the hut.
88
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
He's a guest and he says, Edward.
89
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,000
And then it frees frames.
90
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,000
And we go to credits.
91
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,000
The credits play over drawings of staring eyes.
92
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,000
These are paintings that are black and red or the main colors.
93
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
It's very disturbing.
94
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Once the credits play out, we find ourselves in a new location.
95
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,000
We're at Markham Manor and a door is being broken down.
96
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Julian is there, it's his house, and Ian and Sirvent Reddick are trying to prevent this from happening.
97
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000
They go into the room where Edward is throwing a fit, annavace.
98
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Julian tries to get him to calm down and says he's left him no choice.
99
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000
After a struggle, Edward is placed in manacles, only his feet though.
100
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,000
And left in a cozy, candlelit attic bedroom, fire blazing in the heart.
101
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000
For a madman in the attic, he sure has access to a lot of fire.
102
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,000
And that doesn't seem wise.
103
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Edward paces in front of the window like the caged animal he is.
104
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Now we go to a new location and two men, this is Samuel Trench and Mark Norton.
105
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
And they're going to a boarding house.
106
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,000
They're not going to door and an eye peeks out at them and the eye is on or left them in.
107
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
This is the landlord, Mr. Hackett.
108
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
He's complaining bitterly about one of his occupants.
109
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
And then we see said occupant inside his room.
110
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000
This is a black man who's dressed very dappily in a suit.
111
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
And he seems to have a lot of bloody laundry hanging up behind him.
112
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
This man is in Gallow.
113
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
And he's listening to the conversation in the hallway.
114
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Hackett is complaining bitterly about the smell and the lack of rent.
115
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
And he says he can't wait for this man to be gone.
116
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:47,000
And Gallow left them in and tells them it's not ready to be seen yet, but confirmed it will be ready by tonight.
117
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000
We, however, are not letting on what it is.
118
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000
He asked Trench if they brought the money.
119
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,000
He has 1000 kidneys, but they will not pay until the work has been completed.
120
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,000
And then, and Gallow can return to Africa where he will be a rich man.
121
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000
If he can go back on the boat, he arrived on.
122
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Mark Norton asked if they bring him there to see if he think it will work.
123
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Trench says that he's seen witchcraft before, but and Gallow boasts that his people have knowledge of things that the white man know nothing about.
124
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,000
And Gallow says, yes, once whoever he is takes it, he'll sleep as if dead.
125
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,000
And then he stares off into the distance as we dissolve into the next scene.
126
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:31,000
It is now daylight and Sir Julian and Lady Elizabeth are walking around the grounds, past a pond and onto a bridge.
127
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,000
She's decided she wants to be married at sea in an open boat.
128
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Hmm, says Julian.
129
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,000
So you continue that she wants to wear a scarlet dress to amuse the sailors and shock her father.
130
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000
It turns out she doesn't really want this.
131
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,000
She was just clocking if Julian was listening to her and he wasn't.
132
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Her much older fiancee says that he was miles away and Elizabeth asked if by miles away does he mean that he was back in Africa?
133
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Julian wonders where that came from.
134
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Elizabeth notes that since Julian has returned from Africa, he's been a totally different person.
135
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,000
She wants him to tell her what happened in Africa, but he does not wish to discuss it with her.
136
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000
She asks him not to start their life together with secrets.
137
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
And he tells her that he hasn't really changed.
138
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
She asks him to prove it so he kisses her.
139
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,000
That's not what I meant, she said.
140
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,000
She wants to seem a smile like he used to and Julian manages a smile.
141
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Doesn't look very real though.
142
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Now we cut to the markum matter.
143
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Julian's entertaining trench, who is also lately returned from Africa.
144
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Trench calls Africa a heathen place and no mistake.
145
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Julian is reviewing paperwork brought by Trench as Ruddick the servant pours Brandy for the two.
146
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Trench tells Markum that their African plantation should keep him comfortably well off until the end of his days.
147
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Him and Edward.
148
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Ruddick reports that Straddick refused to eat his dinner that evening and Julian tells Ruddick that he will take care of Edward later.
149
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Trench asks how Straddick is doing after his ordeal in Africa.
150
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Julian says he seemed to be more normal so they took off the chains.
151
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Only the madness seemed to have overcame him again.
152
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
And since then he seems to have grown steadily worse.
153
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
"Every man wants to be free," says Trench.
154
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:12,000
"How can he be free looking the way he does?" asks Julian, comparing his brother to an insane beast.
155
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Then he poops his trench suggestion of an asylum.
156
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Then Trench suggests surgery.
157
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Do you think those carrion doctors could put his face together again as Julian?
158
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Julian thinks that they might even experiment on Edward and he just can't bear the thought of that.
159
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Trench wants to see Edward and Julian says that he never lets anyone see him.
160
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,000
But Trench reminds him that during his last visit, he cheered Edward up considerably.
161
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,000
So Julian relents, but caution's trench to stay back.
162
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Don't let him see the shocked expression on your face when you see him.
163
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Those chains are his only protection.
164
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Then Julian summons Ruddick to escort him to see Edward.
165
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Trench goes into Edward's room and tells him that he wanted to let Edward know that he's returned from Africa.
166
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Edward's hands reach out and find trenches throat.
167
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Edward asks Trench if he's done what he'd asked.
168
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Yes, guess Trench.
169
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,000
He tells Edward it will be ready in two days.
170
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
I guess we know it is now.
171
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,000
No, not quite.
172
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Well, we know that whatever it is will make him appear to be dead.
173
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Right.
174
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,000
But there's more to it than that.
175
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Edward tells Trench that he'll be well rewarded unless it fails.
176
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Edward is desperate to get out of there before it's too late and he's counting on Trench.
177
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Tans release their grip and Trench is permitted to leave.
178
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Ruddick escorts Trench back to Julian as Edward pounds on the door.
179
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000
It's as I feared.
180
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,000
You've upset him.
181
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000
I'm afraid I can't allow anyone to see him ever again.
182
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Good night.
183
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Very abrupt.
184
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,000
When we cut to a romantic false stroll with Julian and Elizabeth,
185
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
they come across open graves in the cemetery.
186
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Julian asks the person what's going on.
187
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,000
And the person tells Julian that the gravesites were disturbed by body snatchers.
188
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Julian nods and says they must pay a handsome price for corpses these days.
189
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
The person agrees.
190
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Julian says it's better that they practice their barbarities on the dead rather than the living.
191
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Elizabeth finds this whole affair repulsive.
192
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000
She changes the subject as she and Julian continue their stroll.
193
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
She wonders if they are still living married.
194
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000
And Julian wonders what brought on this line of questioning.
195
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Elizabeth informs him that her father is talking of taking her to Italy away from Julian.
196
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Julian is shocked.
197
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,000
I thought we had his blessing.
198
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,000
That was before says Elizabeth.
199
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Before you returned from the dark continent.
200
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,000
When he came back, he dismissed most of his servants and then the town started talking.
201
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Julian's surprise that the town is talking about him, but Elizabeth isn't.
202
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Julian has become a hermit.
203
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,000
So the town's folk have dreamed of all manners of ghouls and beasties occupying the house.
204
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Julian asks if she believes in that and she says, should I?
205
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Julian says no.
206
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:46,000
That evening we see Samuel trench and Nangalo are writing through the forest towards Markham Manor.
207
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Edward is pacing in his room.
208
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000
And Gallo throws a rock at the window to get Edward's attention.
209
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Edward opens the window and Nangalo using a hollow tube blows something into the room.
210
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Edward picks it up.
211
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
It's a small ball of some kind.
212
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000
It looks like a marble, but obviously that's not what it is.
213
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Then a man approaches and Nangalo and trench hide in the bushes.
214
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
The man goes to the front door.
215
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
He's carrying a letter for Julian.
216
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Ruddock receives it for Julian and delivers it to his master.
217
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Julian tells Ruddock to take Edward's dinner.
218
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Ruddock agrees and leaves Julian to his letter.
219
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,000
He starts to read and it's from Elizabeth who writes that she has caved to her father's demands
220
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000
for her to ditch that weird old Julian and to go to Italy.
221
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Then Ruddock calls down from upstairs.
222
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,000
Ruddock takes Julian upstairs to his brother.
223
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,000
We see his Edward lying face down on the bed.
224
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Oh, Edward, why did they have to take you?
225
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Then he asks Ruddock to fetch trench and to keep this quiet.
226
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,000
As trench arrives, Julian and Ruddock are nailing a coffin shut.
227
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,000
We get a brief glimpse inside the coffin where Edward is not moving.
228
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Julian tells Trench that Edward has died.
229
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Trench offers his condolences, but Julian calls the death oblivion, a mercy, considering the circumstances.
230
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Trench asks when the funeral will be held and Julian says, "As soon as you find a body,"
231
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
this confuses Trench.
232
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:12,000
But Julian explains, the Markham's are a prestigious people and though it has been a long time since it's been a necessity in this family,
233
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000
a funeral is an occasion for all the town to participate.
234
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
And they can't have the townspeople seeing Edward as he is.
235
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000
So another body must be found for public viewing.
236
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Once they've done gawking at the proxy corpse, they can bury the real one.
237
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Trench says he wants to know part of this, but Julian says he's been a part of the family business for most of his life.
238
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:38,000
And if Trench is afraid of the penalty for body snatching, he should be equally afraid as it is the same penalty for forging an embezzlement,
239
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,000
both of which Julian knows that he did.
240
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Julian tells Trench that he's extracted 1,000 guineas from the Markham estate in Africa.
241
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Trench asks what Julian is going to do.
242
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Julian says he can either give Trench another 1,000 guineas or turn him over to the authorities.
243
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Though he's less than thrilled, this is an offer Trench can refuse.
244
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,000
So he's going to snatch that body and shut the heck up.
245
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Trench asks for some time to find a body worthy of the noble name of Markham.
246
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
And then the two celebrate with a brandy.
247
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,000
We now go to Engalo's room where there's an knock at the door.
248
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Mark Norton is already in the room with Engalo, and he opens the door and lets Trench in.
249
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Mark asks Trench if he has the money.
250
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Trench gives the money to Engalo.
251
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Then Mark asks if he wants to rescue Edward tonight, but Trench Snaple says, "Nope.
252
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,000
Norton asks, why not?"
253
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Trench tells him that there has been a change of plans because Sir Edward has been nailed into a coffin.
254
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,000
But not to worry, there are other ways to make a little money in this town.
255
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,000
Then he tells them about Julian's wish to give Edward a proper funeral and how he wants to go about it.
256
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,000
They have a chance to make another 1,000 guineas out of this deal.
257
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Mark thinks this is insane because Sir Edward isn't really dead.
258
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,000
He's just been nailed inside a coffin and he doesn't feel it's right to leave Sir Edward to be buried alive.
259
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Trench looks at Engalo and tells them that he can help with this mission.
260
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,000
They have a chance to make another 1,000 guineas to come up with a body, so that is what they're going to do.
261
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Now we're treated to an establishing shot outside the office of J. Newhart's surgeon.
262
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Inside J. Newhart's surgeon, played by Christopher Lee, is negotiating with Willer the body snatcher.
263
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
For, as you might guess, a body.
264
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Willer apologizes for the last body provided, saying he ran into some trouble and promises the next one will be warmer.
265
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:30,000
After that brief scene, we cut over to Mark, who's driving a carriage.
266
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000
He parks in front of the boarding house where Engalo lives.
267
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Trench exits the carriage, he goes up to the door and knocks when the landlord answers,
268
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Trench tells him that he's come to pay him, invites Tom Hackett, the landlord, to come into Engalo's room so they can finish the transaction.
269
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Trench goes through the motions of giving money to Hackett, but Engalo darts him in the back of the neck,
270
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,000
though he lurches at Engalo, the landlord eventually goes down.
271
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,000
Then Trench signals Mark to come in and help with the body.
272
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,000
And Gello picks up Hackett's body from the floor and Mark motions at the coast is clear.
273
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Trench helps the Gello with Hackett's body, but as they go into the hallway, they find they have company.
274
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,000
A woman wants to speak to Hackett about something.
275
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Trench tells her that, unfortunately, Hackett has had a bit too much to drink.
276
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:16,000
But Trench ensures her, he will be up with her presently. She smiles and heads upstairs.
277
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Now Trench and Mark deliver the body to Mark in a manner, taking it to the door, and when Retic answers, they tell him to summon his master.
278
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:30,000
When Gello sees that Mark is with Trench, he carps that Trench was to do it alone, but Trench snarls, he couldn't do it alone.
279
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,000
He tells Julian to collect his prize, so Julian and Retic hold the body inside.
280
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Hackett's body has been laid out on a bed for mourners to gawk at.
281
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Julian is telling the gathered how his brother had been forced to live in seclusion since his return from Africa, on account of the tropical disease he acquired there.
282
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:53,000
But Edward had never forgotten his hometown and has left his substantial donation to the local church and in generous bequest to the poor.
283
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Then the person leads the assembled in prayer.
284
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Sometime after the sham wake, we find Mark and Trench pulling the faux Edward back into the carriage.
285
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Once there inside, Julian settles up with Trench for that dead body he found for the occasion.
286
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Trench indulges his curiosity and asks Julian what sin Edward committed to deserve such retribution.
287
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Julian says they both sinned in Africa, but only vaguely eludes to the sin of colonialism.
288
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Flundering the land and stealing their wealth, though the residents were too innocent to notice, I doubt it.
289
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,000
This has not assuaged Trench's curiosity at all, though. However, he does leave.
290
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:35,000
We see a bit later, the Trench and Mark are unceremoniously dumping Hackett's body over the side of a bridge.
291
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Back at Mark a manner, Sir Julian is sitting alone in a room having flashbacks and recut with shots of a white horse running down the road.
292
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000
It's not exactly a linear narrative though.
293
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:53,000
He sees the Africans beating their drums and a child running in front of the horse. Julian stands and gasps.
294
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
He walks past Edward's coffin in a day's.
295
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:01,000
The next scene brings us to the day of the funeral, where the casket is finally being interred.
296
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Julian turns away from the mumbling parsin and Elizabeth follows.
297
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000
She wants to know why he never told her.
298
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Julian says he didn't know how.
299
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Elizabeth speaks with her guilt at sending the letter, really bad timing there.
300
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000
And also, she says she never should have gone to Italy.
301
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Julian asks Elizabeth to stay now and be his peace here on earth and she agrees.
302
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Often is lowered into the earth.
303
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Julian says that Edward has found peace too now, more than he ever could have on earth.
304
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:36,000
He tells Elizabeth that they let the sunlight into the house again and let the sunshine onto the new life inside.
305
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,000
And the cemetery, weller, New Hart's man, is on the hunt for a fresh grave.
306
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,000
As he strolls about, the sexton tackles him. That's the cemetery attendant.
307
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
They tussle and suddenly a second, then a third man are there.
308
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:56,000
After two of the men pin the sexton on the ground, the third man takes a shovel, holds it over the sexton's head,
309
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000
and lowers it sharply onto his neck.
310
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Now we're back at Dr. New Hart's place and Weller is bringing his delivery and tells him that
311
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
could news this one's a toofer.
312
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
That's what I wrote too.
313
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000
The first corpse was brought in coffin and all because the coffin was nail shut.
314
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,000
New Hart lifts the blanket from the second corpse and looks disgusted.
315
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
It's a bit damaged, Weller admits.
316
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:21,000
New Hart declares the man had been murdered, but this is what Weller likes to call a lucky accident.
317
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Lucky for New Hart because now he has two bodies to dally with and Lucky for Weller and his boys because of the usual reasons.
318
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:38,000
New Hart staring grimly ahead, slides payment over to Weller, who reminds New Hart that he better never so much as whisper about this to anyone.
319
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,000
New Hart turns on Weller and intends that Weller is in this as deeply as he is.
320
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Weller equips that it's all in the cause of science in it as he leaves.
321
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
New Hart sets about frying open that was coffin.
322
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,000
It takes forever.
323
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000
For the second time that night he's repulsed at the sight of a corpse.
324
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:00,000
But then he's caught off guard when Edward's corpse grabs New Hart by the throat and sits up.
325
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,000
And the next scene, Julian and Elizabeth are strolling in the sunshine.
326
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Looks like the sun really did come out for them.
327
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Elizabeth says that she wants to honeymoon in Africa, but for obvious reasons, Julian's not keen to do that.
328
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,000
In fact, he's thinking of divesting himself of all things African.
329
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000
He's seen too much of what we do to the people there, he says.
330
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000
Elizabeth asks what this means from a practical standpoint.
331
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Julian says that they'll still have their titles, but nothing to go with it.
332
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Elizabeth gets a look on her faces if she just smelled something really bad.
333
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Why is she marrying a man twice her age if not for money, she's probably thinking.
334
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,000
But Julian sees it as a way to find peace.
335
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Elizabeth though looks like she needs a little more convincing.
336
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Now we see a man putting on a crimson hood as he stares at himself in the mirror.
337
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,000
It's Edward and he's now a guest of New Hart.
338
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,000
However, he's not a welcome guest.
339
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
He's using blackmail as his credit card to pay for his room and board.
340
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:57,000
He reminds New Hart that the penalty for grey robbing is the news and he's the rare corpse available to give first person testimony in court.
341
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,000
New Hart asks how long Edward is going to stay and Edward says as long as need be.
342
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Edward coves a brandy and tells Dr. New Hart that he must keep him hidden until he's paid back all his money.
343
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000
And he's paid back all his debts.
344
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Edward is delighted to learn that his coffin had been delivered to the doctor intact and thus New Hart is the only person aware of his resurrection.
345
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,000
He then gives the doctor the assignment of keeping Edward well until he has had the opportunity to pay back those debts.
346
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Then we cut away to Duke the dog barking.
347
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,000
He has found Hackett's body washed up on the shore of the river.
348
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Back at New Hart's, Edward is discussing with Dr. New Hart how things are going to work.
349
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:39,000
The doctor will tell people that Edward is a visiting relative, badly burned and chooses to wear a hood to shield people from his monstrous face.
350
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Then Edward tells New Hart that he's a very fortunate man to have access to him.
351
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:50,000
Dr. New Hart looks like he feels as lucky as a man tied to the rail or tracks, feeling the rumble of an approaching train.
352
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Edward's face has been turned inside out by sorcery and powders.
353
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,000
His mind has been twisted and he's been killed and brought back to life.
354
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Edward declares himself to be a very remarkable creature.
355
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Edward says you shouldn't worry. And New Hart's only worried about the servants.
356
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Edward says that's not a problem. He'll only do is prowling by night.
357
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
You can even lock Edward in his room if he likes.
358
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Now we're back at the river where several men are pulling Hackett's body from said river.
359
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:20,000
As the body is loaded onto a cart, Joshua Kemp, Duke the dog's owner, wonders who this man is.
360
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,000
The authorities don't know yet, but insist they'll find out.
361
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Now we're inside Joshua Kemp's home where a constable and medical examiner are questioning him about his discovery.
362
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:35,000
The examiner says that the body he found died of natural causes and then either fell or was pushed into the water.
363
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,000
We can see that Kemp is an artist or else he just likes holding artist pellets for fun.
364
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Now we're in Dr. New Hart's dining room where New Hart and Edward are preparing to eat dinner.
365
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Sally the maid is serving the plates. She seems very curious when she looks at Edward.
366
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Once she leaves the dining room and New Hart locks the door behind her, she hears Edward call her a beautiful girl.
367
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,000
New Hart asks what that supposed to mean as Sally Giddily runs upstairs.
368
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,000
New Hart once again asks for the ETA of Edwards to park her.
369
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Edward once again says, "When I settle those debts."
370
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,000
But not to worry. Edward doesn't tend to help on financially.
371
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Sally is coming down the stairs with another older maid, Mrs. Zockens.
372
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Saying how terrible it must be to have to live with a scarred face and she feels sorry for him.
373
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Mrs. Hopkins calls out Sally for being more interested in gentleman's wallets than their faces.
374
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Apparently she has a bit of a reputation. In Trench's office, he's drawing up an American bank draft for Mark Norton.
375
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Trench asked if Mark is going to thank him for this financial windfall.
376
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,000
And Mark sarcastically thanks Trench for making him a murderer.
377
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Trench isn't fussed about that though, because he ate money.
378
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000
And says there's nothing on Hackett's body to identify him.
379
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Mark reminds Trench of the buried alive state of Edward.
380
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Trench says that he's put it all out of his mind. There's nothing they could do about it.
381
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Mark says he'll be happy to leave England and never set eyes on Trench again.
382
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
So he sees Mark as loading up his carriage to the door.
383
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000
He gets in and the driver takes him through the night.
384
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
Mark goes tired and is notting off.
385
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Suddenly the carriage stops and Mark wakes up and looks around.
386
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,000
It looks pretty desolate.
387
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:14,000
He goes on to ask the driver why they've stopped, but he finds no one sitting in the driver's seat.
388
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,000
Edward, wearing his crimson hood, appears behind Mark and grabs him.
389
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
"Where can I find the witch doctor?" he asks.
390
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,000
"Mark recognizes the voice," Sir Edward, he says.
391
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Edward repeats his question, placing a knife against Mark's throat.
392
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000
"I don't know," says Mark. "Then you are of no use to me," Edward says,
393
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,000
"slashing Mark's throat and stabbing him several times."
394
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:38,000
"It's more of a nick to the throat." He's not really good at slashing throats, I think.
395
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Very good at stabbing, though.
396
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Mark falls back into the carriage and as he dies, Edward slaps the horse on the rump and it drives off with Mark's body inside.
397
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Now Edward is riding up to his old home.
398
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,000
Inside Julian and Elizabeth are holding their wedding reception.
399
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,000
No one really says, but it appears they just got married.
400
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Edward sneaks around the back gate as Elizabeth and her friends and family waltz about in the ballroom.
401
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Once in the back of the house, Edward prides up flagstones on the back patio and pulls bags of coins out from under them.
402
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Inside Julian is greeting his guests as the dancing goes on.
403
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Joshua Kemp goes to Julian to congratulate him and Julian says, "Kent must paint a portrait of his Elizabeth one day."
404
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:25,000
As for Elizabeth, she's dancing but stops and gas when looking out the window, she sees a man staring at them, a man in a crimson hood.
405
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,000
She tells everyone what she's seen and Julian asks the servants to go have a look around outside.
406
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,000
People start to leave but Julian asks everyone to stay.
407
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,000
He gives a toast to his wife and everyone starts dancing again.
408
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,000
In Dr. Newhart's office, he's doing stuff with the corpse.
409
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Edward enters the surgery and throws a couple of bags of coins at Dr. Newhart.
410
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
To assist him with his experiments, he says.
411
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000
Edward goes upstairs, not to his room, but Sally's.
412
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,000
She wakes and she's not afraid.
413
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Edward's surprised but she says, "Why should I be afraid?"
414
00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Edward reminds her that he's a stranger and a mask but she's a professional. She takes it and strides, standing up to give him a warm hug and probably something more.
415
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:16,000
The next day, Newhart slap Sally, calling her a slut and accusing her of being with him last night.
416
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,000
She doesn't deny it.
417
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,000
He asks if she's seen his face and she admits that she hasn't.
418
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:25,000
But why should she be afraid of scars? After all, she's seen some of the bodies he's brought in.
419
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,000
Newhart tells Sally she's dismissed and she shouldn't worry.
420
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,000
A woman with her talent, Senate abilities should have no problem finding another position.
421
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Sally says they'll have to make it worth her while to leave such a wonderful position.
422
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,000
Otherwise, word may get out about the doctor's experiments.
423
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Newhart relents and warns her that if word were to get out about their friend with the Crimson Hood,
424
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,000
he might be buying her pretty little body for a guinea or two.
425
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,000
She looks as if she may not have thought this all the way through.
426
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,000
There's so much blackmail in this movie.
427
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Now we see Edward approach Newhart. Where's his Sally?
428
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Newhart says that she's gone.
429
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Edward's upset. He wouldn't have heard her.
430
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,000
He threatens Newhart but Dr. Newhart tells Edward that he needs him after all.
431
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Edward wouldn't last a day without him. So stop complaining.
432
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Now Sally is interviewing for a position at Markham Manor.
433
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Elizabeth is conducting the interview but Julian jumps in to ask why Sally left her position with Dr. Newhart.
434
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,000
She tells him a relative arrived and there was no longer room for her.
435
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Elizabeth has reddix shows Sally to her new room.
436
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,000
Once they're gone, Elizabeth happily hugs Julian who wants everything to be perfect for her.
437
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Elizabeth loves the home they share together, except for that creepy room upstairs.
438
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Now we're with Edward. He's gone into town, whether it's London or some other town.
439
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:41,000
I don't think we ever know. He perks his horse outside a stable and then runs the prostitute gauntlet
440
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,000
as he walks down the street to the, well, whoever he was going to.
441
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:49,000
He runs into two drunk men who try to push him in the direction of somewhere else.
442
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,000
The drunk men drag Edward into a tavern where a woman is dancing barefoot on a table
443
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,000
and many prostitutes are interested in this new mysterious stranger in a mask.
444
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000
So are the drunks.
445
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000
One speaks to him. Sally he asks.
446
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,000
No, she says, my name is Heidi, but you can call me Sally if you like.
447
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,000
And with that she takes them upstairs.
448
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,000
This does not go a notice by a man who has a scar in his face.
449
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:16,000
In Heidi's room she starts to undress. Edward says that he shouldn't be here.
450
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,000
But is soon ripping off her bodice. So he got over that real fast.
451
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Heidi tells Edward that that rip is going to cost him extra.
452
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Townstairs, the music and dancing and debauchery kicks into high gear.
453
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
The bartender though looks bored.
454
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,000
The man with the facial scar that we saw earlier heads upstairs upstairs.
455
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Upstairs Edward has completed his transaction except for the payment part.
456
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:42,000
He's handing over money to Heidi and she reminds him that he owes her extra for the ripping her dress.
457
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,000
We see the man with the facial scar ascend the stairs.
458
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,000
He enters the room and shuts the door behind him blocking it with his body.
459
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,000
He declares that Edward has just stooped his wife and if he's not royalty,
460
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
he's going to have to pay to get out.
461
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,000
And if he is royalty, he'll have to pay even more.
462
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,000
Edward tries to push past him but can't.
463
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,000
The man wonders if they might not have the real treasure on their hands
464
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,000
and wondering just what might be beneath that mask of his.
465
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,000
As he goes to pull it off, Edward smashes a face over the man's head.
466
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Heidi however, successfully removes the hide and screams at the sight of Edward's face.
467
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Edward throws her down and slits Heidi's throat.
468
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,000
We next see Edward crashing down the stairs.
469
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000
The rowdy crowd surrounds him.
470
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,000
They call him a dancing bear and try to get him to dance for them.
471
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Edward, though not a bear, dances his way out the door.
472
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,000
He runs to retrieve his horse or maybe another one and rides off.
473
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,000
But inside, they're still fighting for some reason.
474
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000
And that goes on for quite a while.
475
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,000
But it's eventually broken up by cries of murder, bloody murder.
476
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Heidi's husband has come downstairs, his head covered in red poster paint or sorry blood.
477
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,000
After that, we see Edward riding off back to Newhart's eye soon.
478
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,000
The police under Crown Officer Hawthorne have come to investigate the murder.
479
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:58,000
The only information they are able to get on the perpetrator is that he had money and wore a crimson hood.
480
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,000
One of the policemen notices a black cloak with blood on it.
481
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,000
So vote patrons identify it as belonging to the man in the crimson hood.
482
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Closer inspection reveals it to have the initials JN and that it was tailored by EP Higgs in Langford.
483
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
So the next day Hawthorne pays a visit to EP Higgs in Langford.
484
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,000
We cut to Dr. Newhart's surgery where he's finishing up with a patient, giving her some medicine.
485
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,000
She leaves just as Crown Officer Hawthorne arrives.
486
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Edward's up in his room, seeing the police go inside from his upstairs window overlooking the entrance way.
487
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,000
The police show Dr. Newhart the cloak.
488
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:36,000
They say the tailor ideed it as being his and wonder what Newhart was doing last night.
489
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Newhart provides a very good alibi.
490
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,000
He was dining with the magistrate last night. He'll vouch for him.
491
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Hawthorne wonders how Newhart's cloak ended up found in London, soaked in the blood of a tart no less.
492
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000
But Newhart has no idea.
493
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:56,000
Newhart said he had lost the cloak. Hawthorne asks where he had last seen it and Newhart responds that if he knew that it wouldn't have been lost.
494
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Newhart hands the cloak back to Hawthorne and tells him to confirm his whereabouts in Langford last night and to continue with the investigation elsewhere.
495
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Hawthorne leaves and Newhart starts upstairs only to be stopped by Edward.
496
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,000
What did you tell them ask Edward? I told them nothing steps Newhart.
497
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Newhart turns on Edward. You killed that woman, didn't you? Edward rushes upstairs without answering.
498
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:22,000
In the next scene, Joshua Kemp is showing Julian his gallery. Julian had come there to make an appointment for Elizabeth's sittings.
499
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Kemp's gallery is pretty unremarkable, but Julian's eye is caught by a sketch of Hackett, tacked onto the wall.
500
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,000
It's a rather good likeness. Julian asks Kemp about the sketch.
501
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Kemp explains that he drew it from memory. It's the dead guy's dog found.
502
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Julian wants to buy it, but a confused Kemp says that he can have it for free.
503
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Then Julian says he gots to go. They'll work out those sitting times later.
504
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Then Julian goes to Trench's office because Trench has got some spleen into do.
505
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Julian says that the body that they had used is now in the hands of a parish magistrate.
506
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,000
And Julian must know why they threw the body into the river when they were done with it.
507
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Trench says that it's fine. There's nothing on the body to identify it.
508
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:03,000
But Julian reminds him that the people of his village all viewed the body as that of his dead brother.
509
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,000
And the man who found the body is an artist and he made a portrait of it.
510
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,000
And why didn't they just put the body back where it came from?
511
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Because it was too risky, so it's Trench. Julian angrily asks Trench, how was it that that man met his demise?
512
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:21,000
And then we cut to Dr. Newhart's office. He has his own body problems.
513
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,000
He's asking Willard about what grave that man came from, referring to Edward, of course.
514
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:31,000
Willard claims not to know. Then he tells Dr. Newhart that he's ceasing all business dealings with Newhart.
515
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,000
He's too inquisitive and that's a liability in his line of work.
516
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:41,000
We go by the Trench's office where it appears that off screen, Trench has told Julian the whole sorted tale.
517
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,000
And because Julian had nailed the coffin shut, rescuing Edward was out of the question.
518
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Julian then realizes that this means his brother was buried alive.
519
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:57,000
In the next scene, Edward has arrived at Samuel Trench's home. Trench is in his living room, connoodling with the woman.
520
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Trench leaves her to go get some drinks. In the other room, he's confronted by Edward.
521
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Edward pissily complains about Trench leaving him to wake up in the titular oblong box with no air to breathe and all that dirt on him or a fine.
522
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Trench says that Julian is to blame, not him. Trench throws Julian under the omnibus.
523
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:24,000
He's to blame, not Trench. Edward reminds Trench that they had a deal. Then he starts thrashing Trench about all Edward wants is the witch doctor.
524
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,000
That was also part of the deal. Trench cooperates.
525
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:35,000
And Gallow is at the starbuck in and sure him. Edward asks why sure him and Trench says that he's there waiting for a boat.
526
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,000
Edward is very angry that the witch doctor was waiting for a ship and not for him.
527
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Trench's girl comes out to see Trench's throat slit and left for dead as a man in a crimson hood leaves the premises.
528
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:51,000
In sure him, the witch doctor is sitting in his room, boiling a pot of something when Edward enters.
529
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:58,000
"Are you the man I made my medicine for?" asked the doctor. "Yes," said Edward, removing his hood. "It worked only too well."
530
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,000
"Yes, the witch doctor, if he's ever seen a face like his before. Once," said the doctor.
531
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Edward asks if he can help him. The witch doctor says, "Yes, for gold." And gold Edward has.
532
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:20,000
Edward asks, "And Gallow, why this happened to him? He must know. And Gallow takes him back via some kind of hypnosis. And Gallow weighs a candle in front of his face, taking him back via some kind of hypnosis to Africa.
533
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:31,000
Where we see that horse and the young boy and the horse trampling the young boy. And Gallow starts calling out Markham's name over and over. Markham, Markham, Markham."
534
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:38,000
After seeing the boy being trampled, Edward says that that wasn't him. "You're the man they call Markham?" asked the witch doctor.
535
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Edward says, "Yes, but it's also the name of my brother."
536
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:47,000
After that dreamy dream, Edward wakes up from his hypnotic state. He stumbles to a mirror and looks at his face.
537
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Nothing has changed. He's still ugly. He attacks and Gallow. And Gallow stabs Edward. And Edward throws the pot of boiling whatever on poor and Gallow's face.
538
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Then Edward makes his way back to New Hearts and begs the doctor for help. He says he needs help to make it through the night.
539
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Whatever that means.
540
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:20,000
At Markham's manner, Julian and Elizabeth are enjoying their morning tea, served by their new maid Sally. When Julian starts chuckling over something he's read in the morning paper,
541
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:30,000
remember when Elizabeth claimed to see a man in a crimson hood? It must be contagious because people in London claim to have seen a man in a crimson hood and he's killed a woman. It's a knee slapper.
542
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,000
So tackless.
543
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Sally, however, doesn't find this amusing.
544
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:45,000
Julian notices Sally's expression and asks what's wrong. Sally says she can't believe he'd do such a thing. Sally, Julian asked gently, have you seen a man in a crimson hood?
545
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:54,000
And Sally says there's a man like that staying at Dr. New Hearts, but she wasn't supposed to tell anyone. The pieces are now all coming into place for Julian. Dr. New Heart, of course.
546
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,000
He tells Elizabeth to look after Sally and then he'll be going out for a while.
547
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Then he rides off on horseback toward New Hearts place.
548
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:08,000
At Dr. New Hearts, New Heart has finished stitching up Edward's wound and tells him he better stay off his feet or he'll be dead by morning.
549
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Edward says that's plenty of time to settle the final debts he has. Dr. New Heart tries to give Edward some medicine that will keep him going until morning. Edward doesn't want to take it.
550
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:26,000
He feels that New Heart's trying to drug him and said he slashes New Heart's throat for his consideration. Edward gets his coat as Dr. New Heart struggles on the floor.
551
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:33,000
Back at Mark a matter, Sally still seems uneasy, so Elizabeth is offering to bring her some brandy to help her relax.
552
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:40,000
And she goes off to fetch some. By now Julian has arrived at New Heart's house. He knocks at the door, but there is no answer.
553
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:50,000
So he lets himself in and follows the sound of the wheezing Dr. New Heart. Who did this? He asks, it was a man in a crimson hood fresh from the grave and still warm, wasn't it? Where did he go?
554
00:35:50,000 --> 00:36:00,000
Mark, weasel's out Mark a matter. And then New Heart dies was left for dead. And Julian is annoyed that he wrote all the way out here just so Vincent Price and Christopher Lee could share some screen time in this picture.
555
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:04,000
Otherwise he could have just stayed home.
556
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:11,000
In the drawing room, Sally still waiting for Elizabeth to return with that brandy is shocked to see the man in the crimson hood instead.
557
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:18,000
She's not welcoming anymore. She calls him a murderer. Edward says that Sally doesn't understand and he needs to find Julian.
558
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Sally says Julian's not there. Edward accuses her of lying and then they struggle. Sally tries to free herself but Edward manages to push her out the French doors Elizabeth returning with that brandy hears the screams and runs into the drawing room but Sally's already gone.
559
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Then Julian joins Elizabeth who says that Sally was just here. Julian goes to the open window where Sally's apron was left behind. It's Edward. He says he can't explain now, but Elizabeth should stay here. Julian grabs a gun from the wall and says that he's going after Edward.
560
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:57,000
And he walks to the woods as Elizabeth frets at home back with Edward. He's frog marching Sally through the woods Elizabeth can still hear Sally screaming and she goes out of the house disobeying her husband.
561
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:06,000
Although she does call for him. Sally falls onto the earth and Edward bends over her. He gets close enough that she can rip off his mask and she sees it and streaks.
562
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:14,000
And his face does look kind of gross as she shrinks away from him Julian arrives and confronts Edward by this time Elizabeth has caught up to them as well.
563
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Why Julian Edward asks it should have been Julian not Edward Julian explains that they were looking for a mark on the pay for the crimes he committed.
564
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:40,000
But that they found Edward first and by the time he found him it was just too late. It's not too late says Edward. Let them have both of us but Julian isn't too keen on that idea and chooses brother twice in the stomach Julian then goes over to check on his fallen brother and Edward rears up and fights Julian on the hand.
565
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:47,000
Now we see Angalo with the new sexton in the cemetery and go those faces scarred by the boiling oil that Edward threw on it.
566
00:37:47,000 --> 00:38:03,000
They're at Edward's gravesite. Then we hear Angalo chanting mark him mark him mark him over and over again. Then we go inside the coffin where Edward still in the red hood is writhing around somehow Angalo will come up really not sure on the timeline of this one.
567
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Back in mark a manner Elizabeth asked one of the servants where she might find Julian the servant sends her to the top of the house Elizabeth goes upstairs and finds Julian's carrying out the window.
568
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:26,000
He has a festering wound on his hand where Edward had bitten him. This is the words room isn't Elizabeth asks Julian turns to face Elizabeth we had only seen him in profile before but now we see the left side of his face covered in slimy latex.
569
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:35,000
No Julian says this is my room a shocked Elizabeth widened her eyes and horror this shot becomes a freeze frame and the credits roll.
570
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,000
And that's the end.
571
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:50,000
You're listening to the American International podcast where we're discussing the oblong box from 1969.
572
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:56,000
The oblong box was produced by American international pictures whose London based European production division was run by D. K.
573
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:05,000
Ward Vincent Price, Rupert Davies and Hillary Dwyer had recently appeared in which finder general under the direction of Michael reese and on November 18th 1968.
574
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:15,000
The four also began work on the oblong box shooting took place in December of 1968 at Shepherd and studios and the film was made for 70,000 pounds or about 250,000 dollars.
575
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:23,000
The sets were designed by our director George Provis. The score was composed by Harry Robertson who later worked on several hammer horror films.
576
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:32,000
Reves had fallen ill during pre-production and as a result of his illness, Gordon Hesler was then designated the film's director with only a couple days to prepare before shooting started.
577
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:43,000
The serm a substantial changes to the production on February 11th 1969 after production had been completed Michael reese was found dead of an overdose of barbituids and alcohol.
578
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:55,000
The original script for the oblong box had the Markham Brothers as twins both played by Vincent Price. Christopher Wicking in an interview with a monthly film bulletin published in 1988 said he was brought in to write some additional dialogue.
579
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:04,000
According to Gordon Hesler, who was interviewed by Tim Lucas for Video Watch. magazine at one point during a script conference reused through the draft across the room calling it rubbish.
580
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:14,000
Hesler said Wicking is the one who created the voodoo motif that opens the film and the theme of colonial guilt which had it been explored properly might have made a better film.
581
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:22,000
In an interview with DVD Drive-In Hesler said I remember at Shepherd and studios during the oblong box we had an African prince who was head of this tribe.
582
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:29,000
So we put them in the film for the dance sequence. The leading role of the film was given to character actor Alistair Williamson his first.
583
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:39,000
Although he has the largest amount of screen time more than either Price or Lee his real voice is never heard it was redumbed by another actor and his face is covered for the majority of the film.
584
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:45,000
This is the first movie that starred both Vincent Price and Christopher Lee the two have one scene together in the oblong box.
585
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:54,000
Gordon Hesler has said that A.I.P. insisted he cast Hillary Dwyer saying I don't know what the situation was but they liked her and A.I.P. kept pushing you to use certain actors.
586
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:58,000
I guess the management must have thought she was star material or something like that.
587
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Hesler also said in the interview when I did the oblong box they left me alone there was nobody there.
588
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:09,000
The day I started Nicholson came on the set and said good luck that's it and he was off.
589
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:16,000
As Shepherd and studios you can shoot from 8 a.m. to about 4 p.m. because of the union it was a very tough assignment to shoot and get finished.
590
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Actually when we were finishing it I had three or four more days left they A.I.P. said look we like what you're doing take an extra week can you make this bigger.
591
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:32,000
This never happened to me before so I was happy with the situation and I took an extra week of the studios and built up certain sequences.
592
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,000
I can't remember which but whatever we were shooting we elaborated on it.
593
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:45,000
In February of 1969 Samuel Arcoff and James Nicholson announced they would enter the company's 15th year with a $10 million 7 picture British production schedule.
594
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:54,000
In the same article they announced they had just finished filming the oblong box decide and horror house then called the dark in Europe at a cost of $6 million for the three.
595
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:08,000
After the oblong box was finished A.I.P. shared quote 10 millions of violent erotic and expositional footage and the heart of the picture was extensively reedited so that the original chronology and pacing of events was badly disrupted.
596
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:12,000
According to Tim Lucas in a story published in video watchdog in 2003.
597
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:19,000
The oblong box was released in June 11th 1969 in the United States and in June 1970 in the UK.
598
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:34,000
The African themes gave the oblong box a pro black appearance that later causes to be banned in Texas according to Wicking who in an interview with Philip Nuntman and little shop of horrors published in 2008 call it a minor joy I didn't expect to get from a horror movie.
599
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:42,000
A.I.P.s press book advised theater owners to hold special midnight screening of the oblong box inviting radio DJs and TV personalities to attend.
600
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:55,000
According to them the theater lobby should be lit eerily and if possible resemble the inside of a casket they also suggested securing a coffin and either setting it up in the lobby or putting it in the back of an old hers to be parked in front of the theater.
601
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:00,000
In an interview published in June of 1969 in the Delta Democrat Times Greenville Mississippi.
602
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:10,000
control Lucas Robert Houston said he had been hired by a local cinema to help promote the oblong box. Houston said he'll probably see me walking the streets next Friday in a death costume.
603
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:18,000
I'm going to do a promotion for cinema I 82 on Friday the 13th. Houston said he would be lying in a coffin in the theater's lobby wearing monster makeup.
604
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:27,000
So they took his advice taglines for the oblong box include the living dead wimpers and unspeakable curse and claws with only hands to free its evil.
605
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:41,000
I'd grow and pose classic tale of the restless dead and their subterranean world of four and the unspeakable deep beneath the dank ground where viol things crawl among the slime a pale hand twitches and a beatless heart still hungers for revenge.
606
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:51,000
For the first time the classic tale of the restless dead and their unspeakable hungers where beatless heart still hunger and dead hands twitch and tromble with desire.
607
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Some things are better left buried. Those taglines make the movie sound a lot better than it actually is. They're supposed to.
608
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:07,000
The MGM DVD is the complete uncut version running 96 minutes. Previous USA VHS releases were only 94 minutes.
609
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:16,000
Gordon Hessler said the oblong box was very successful for a IP and it ushered in his series of movies for a IP including screen and scream again and cry of the ban.
610
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:28,000
Don Gordon in the Los Angeles evening citizen news review wrote oblong box is obviously a story of revenge but the climactic act of retribution is long and coming and the film could stand some editing from its 101 minutes.
611
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:36,000
That must be the entire movie including the previous Julian's fiance portrayed by Hillary Dwyer is a victim of poor direction and numerous sequences.
612
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:52,000
Tending to kill the motivation of her entire character varieties review said the 13th Edgar Allan Poe entry turn out by a IP is a story of witchcraft retribution and revenge with half a dozen daintily carved up stiffs lying around with blood flowing to service fair for stronger appetites.
613
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:59,000
Price as usual over acts but it is an art here to fit the mood and peace and as usual price is good in this part.
614
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Age Wilers review in the New York Times dragged the film and a IP saying the British and American producers who have been mining Edgar Allan Poe's seemingly inexhaustible literary load like mad now have unearthed the oblong box to illustrate once again that horror can be made to be quaint, laughable and unconvincing at modest prices.
615
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:38,000
Mr. Price broadly portraying the jumpy lord of the manner from memory of nothing else is obvious even if the plot is unnecessarily convoluted perhaps it is a climactic bow to justice when he as the actual guilty party puts his brother out of his misery but not before he's infected with that unexplained messy malady adding that the oblong box might have been better left interred.
616
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:44,000
Kevin Thomas in the LA Times wrote would you believe it it's a price and Christopher lead together for the first time.
617
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:54,000
Alas the screen conversation of the two durable horse stars in the oblong box is decidedly less a momentous occasion than when Bellagosi and Boris Karloff were first paired.
618
00:45:54,000 --> 00:46:13,000
It's not that price and lear not up to creepy form they are in a squizzly tail derived from Poe but that producer director Gordon Hesler is no Roger Korman instead of Korman's elegant suspense we have here a talky needlessly complicated and drawn out show that heaps on the go when things get too laggly to bear.
619
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:30,000
In the Cincinnati choir the reviewer wrote another edgur Allen Poe wake the dead thriller hits the screen this time is the oblong box the music by Harry Robinson is meekly played but rather well done in itself unfortunately it's use is merely as an occasional backdrop to a quiet scene.
620
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:34,000
The oblong box has its share of blood and scares but nothing more.
621
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:44,000
And over at the Cincinnati post to his time wrote that one of the disadvantages of being a writer is that long after your death movie company might decide to make films of your words.
622
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:58,000
When you've gone off to that great library in the sky you can come back to take your name off the credits if Ed girl and Poe is equipped with awareness must be distressed at American international treatment of the oblong box the film is lying in state at several theaters.
623
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Later Stein wrote that Christopher Lee was been in the vampires caper to in his career uses his air condition personality to advantage in his portrayal of the chilly doctor.
624
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:14,000
So I concluded by saying nevertheless the commercial compromises in this film are enough to make Mr. Poe turn over in his own oblong box.
625
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:32,000
So should we been doing this podcast for nearly two years now and in that time choosing these movies randomly this is only the second time we've had to do one of the AIP poem movies.
626
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:39,000
And we don't even have Roger Carmen directing this time so what are the odds one in about 500 I think.
627
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:45,000
So I don't think it's really fair to compare this to previous poem movies since we haven't reviewed most of them yet.
628
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,000
So we're going to have to look at the oblong box on its own.
629
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:56,000
I'm okay with that. I honestly did not hate this movie to the degree that you seem to hate this movie.
630
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:15,000
However, when I was reading up on this movie, I saw a suggestion from and I'm sorry I can't remember who that said it might have been better to shoot this movie from Elizabeth's point of view where she marries into this family that she thinks is basically normal and then comes to find out all these horrors that went on.
631
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:27,000
And it would be like Rebecca or Shadow of a doubt a Hitchcock movie where we see the protagonist confronting the fact that this person she loved is not who she thought that they were.
632
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:34,000
I think I would have been a more interesting approach because then we be unraveling the mystery along with Elizabeth's character.
633
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:42,000
And there might have been a lot more exposition which let the audience know what was going on as opposed to the kind of ham-handed way it was handled here.
634
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:46,000
I think there was a lot of exposition. I'm just not sure it was used well.
635
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:51,000
Well, I really don't know that it was all explained that well. We got a couple of flashbacks.
636
00:48:51,000 --> 00:49:04,000
One of them was just bits and pieces that made no sense and the other one gave us a little bit more information but we never saw the perpetrator of this terrible accident where the little boy was killed by a white man on a horse.
637
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,000
We don't need to see it. We know that it's Julian.
638
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:16,000
Right, but I'm just saying they weren't like overly helpful in stitching together the narrative we had to do that.
639
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:26,000
And I think if a third person had been involved and looking at it from an outsider standpoint, it might have been easier for us as the audience to unravel the story along with her.
640
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,000
I didn't mind that so much.
641
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:39,000
I think that the subtly worked okay but I just think that the story itself was convoluted. It seems that times there was like two different movies going on.
642
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:40,000
How so?
643
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:48,000
Well, Edward's story takes place in two different worlds basically. There's the Edward who died and then the Edward who didn't die.
644
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:56,000
So we're seeing stuff going from both perspectives because New Hard is the only one that knows that Edward is still alive.
645
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:06,000
Right. I think Edward would have been a much more sympathetic character if we had gotten to see a little bit more of him before he was nailed in the coffin.
646
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:11,000
We start in the middle of everything. He's the man man in the attic and then he's almost immediately dead.
647
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:18,000
And that leaves us with a lot of questions. Who are trench and Mark Norton to Edward? Why are they helping him?
648
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,000
Obviously they want money but how did they even come to know each other?
649
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:30,000
It seems like Mark is much more invested from a personal standpoint than from the money. He was one asking, is this really going to help Edward when they met with in Gallow?
650
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:37,000
Whereas trench was more just handling the business aspect of it. But it made me wonder why is Mark so invested?
651
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:43,000
He's very much appalled at what happened to Edward, whereas trench doesn't really care that he was buried alive.
652
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:48,000
Yeah, because Mark seemed to be just there in the first place because he needed money.
653
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:53,000
Right. So he didn't seem to have any relationship with them at all except through trench?
654
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:57,000
Yeah, Mark didn't know Julian at all. Julian was surprised to see him for the first time.
655
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:04,000
And the timeline is kind of weird because if Julian just got back from Africa so did Edward, they were there together.
656
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:13,000
So how did Edward have time to form this relationship where Mark wanted to help him if he's been trapped in the attic this whole time?
657
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:19,000
It would have been a very long trip home and I'm sure whatever sorcery or drugging was done to him.
658
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:25,000
That curse would have manifested on the way home. I mean, it probably took months to take a boat from Africa back to England.
659
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:37,000
Right, but the only time that the timeline seems weird is before the movie up to this events that started and then at the end after Edward's killed and bites Julian.
660
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:48,000
And then he's alive in his coffin again for some reason. Yeah, but during the movie they actually did a pretty good job of keeping things straight because they always started a new day with Julian Elizabeth walking through the grounds.
661
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:59,000
Right. No, yeah, you're right about that. I just was wondering how the whole thing starts basically because the whole thing starts not with Edward being trapped in the attic but with trench and Mark trying to get him out.
662
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:11,000
And their bright idea is to pull a Romeo and Juliet and everyone pretend that he's dead so that they can free him. But why? He's not just his figure, he's also mad. So Julian says.
663
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:19,000
Well, Edward is paying them because he wants his freedom. Yes, but how did he even get in contact with Mark?
664
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,000
Through trench.
665
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,000
But Mark cares about Edward and trench doesn't.
666
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:33,000
Maybe Mark is just a very empathetic person. It could be. I think that's the most terrible explanation for any of this.
667
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:40,000
Yeah, because he was very disgusted by having to kill a man and dump a body and all that that was not his cup of tea.
668
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:55,000
trench being a lawyer had no problem with it. I do think this movie seemed overly long. It did. And I don't know if there's any one sequence that could be cut. I guess we talked about it and according to articles we've read.
669
00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:03,000
Stuff that was cut was just bits and pieces. Some of the gory or violence and brief nudity that was there.
670
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:15,000
I think they could have cut the whole prostitute scene in the tavern. They did allow the police to find the cape and that led them to new hard, but that went nowhere from an investigative standpoint.
671
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,000
So if they've cut all that out, I don't think I would have missed it that much.
672
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:26,000
No, you're right. All that did was prove that he had been a murder. Well, would he have been a murder? He would have been because he killed Mark, but nobody knew about it.
673
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:40,000
Well, his whole point was to get revenge for the people who didn't get him out of the box and that prostitute had nothing to do with it. She didn't need to die. And that takes away from the, I guess, honorableness of his quest.
674
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:49,000
You can see why you might want revenge against someone who wronged you, but had he never gone to a prostitute. He never would have been wronged by one.
675
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:56,000
And thus would not have needed to kill her. Well, he didn't actually go to her. He was dragged in there and then he just went with the flow.
676
00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:04,000
Well, going with the flow includes ripping off her dress and grabbing her boobs. So that's a little beyond just peer pressure.
677
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:11,000
And if they just let him leave, he wouldn't have killed her. Well, no, of course not. I'm just saying that whole scene was very long.
678
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:23,000
There was a point where Edward was gone and random people in the tavern were still fighting with each other and that went on forever. That didn't need to be there. They could have cut that down very briefly or cut it entirely, I think.
679
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:27,000
You're right. That whole sequence didn't need to be there. I wouldn't have changed the outcome of the story at all.
680
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:38,000
And it just makes Edward look a lot worse than he needs to be. Yeah, he's a murderer, but he's kind of got a point there, but killing random women that he shouldn't even be hanging out with.
681
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:47,000
It did make the papers. So it was important in that way that's how he could react to it. But well, he got a little extreme just for that one little bit.
682
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:54,000
And he could have been seen doing something else. He could have been seen skulking around at night because he was in and out and he did commit other murders.
683
00:54:54,000 --> 00:55:06,000
I mean, who else did he kill? He killed Mark, trench, Newhart, Newhart. And who else besides Heidi? He got back at Julian or bit back at Julian.
684
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:15,000
And Angolo. He didn't kill anybody. Yeah, he did some damage. Right. Because he didn't get what he wanted, which was to have the cursory verse.
685
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,000
I don't know. I just, yeah, I think that was just kind of sloppy storytelling.
686
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:27,000
However, I did like the atmosphere of the movie. I like the acting. It's a shame that the person who played Edward was basically just a body in a hood.
687
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:44,000
It wasn't his voice and we never really saw his face. It would have been nice to see him as a more human being. I actually really liked the scene of him and Sally together because she saw him as sort of this person she could empathize with and be kind to and he enjoyed that kindness.
688
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:48,000
And maybe that's why he was in that tavern. He went looking for her.
689
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:53,000
I don't know why I went looking in London, but he had to start somewhere. I guess.
690
00:55:53,000 --> 00:56:02,000
So I guess from that standpoint, it did make sense, but it could have been done in a different way. He could have gone to a Langford prostitute or someone in the village. I don't know.
691
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,000
Then he could have been seen and then that could have made the papers.
692
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:11,000
One thing that struck me was that Tom Hackett didn't necessarily have to die in this movie.
693
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:16,000
Oh, no, they kill him so they can use in as the substitute body for Edward.
694
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:26,000
But they also have a witch doctor on their team who could make somebody appear dead and bring him back a couple of days later. So they could have done that if he had just doubled his dosage.
695
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:32,000
They could have done that borrowed Tom's body and then brought him back and he never would have known what happened.
696
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:39,000
No, he would have woken up with not even not even so much as a hangover. I mean, that would have been nice. Yeah.
697
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:48,000
And I don't know, maybe the purpose of Hackett's death was to fracture the relationship between Mark and trench and to show us what a horrible person trench was to.
698
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:54,000
And thus they deserve to die because not only did they wrong Edward, but they also killed this poor guy for no reason.
699
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:59,000
I didn't say didn't serve a purpose. I just said it didn't have to happen. Right.
700
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:05,000
I don't know. I think that the script wasn't terrible, but they really could have made it a little tighter.
701
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:13,000
And the narrative make a little more sense. It sounds like even the original a IP release, which was about 14 minutes or so shorter.
702
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:19,000
Didn't really serve to make the story any tighter. I guess it was just a little more confusing.
703
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:28,000
If they re edited the timeline, yeah, it would be. It's pretty straightforward once we get past Edward being buried.
704
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:41,000
And then we just released through thorny and my HBO video gave a running time of 91 minutes and an image laser disk which paired the oblong box with the comedy of terrors gives or any time of 94 minutes.
705
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:45,000
And those came out around the same time. So I wonder what the three minutes of difference was.
706
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:51,000
I don't know. We don't have access to those. If I asked you, did you like this movie? What would you say?
707
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:57,000
This movie didn't make me angry. The Vince the price movie that maybe angry was House of the Thousand Dolls.
708
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:04,000
Yeah, I remember that. I think this is an interesting story. I don't think it's told the best it could be.
709
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:09,000
I think if it was called the man in the Crimson Hood, it would be a little more exciting and honest.
710
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:13,000
And I did read that it was really shoehorned into the poem mode.
711
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:17,000
And originally it had been intended to be about the man in the Crimson Hood.
712
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:22,000
And I'm sorry, I don't know the actual oblong box story, but I know it's not this.
713
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:27,000
And I don't know is there just not enough to the oblong box to actually make a movie about it.
714
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:32,000
They just had to borrow the title essentially. And well, A.I.P. had done that with the previous one,
715
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:38,000
the Michael Reeves, which finder general was released here in America as Edgar Allan posed the conqueror worm.
716
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:42,000
And that was just a name only has nothing to do with the story. Yeah.
717
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:46,000
So that's really cheating on A.I.P's part. I mean, I really do hold them responsible.
718
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:50,000
I think that one's a poem. So was the city under the sea also a poem.
719
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,000
This was workouts of the deep.
720
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:56,000
And it's not to say you can't make a good movie out of a poem. There's the Raven.
721
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,000
But again, it has nothing to do with the poem.
722
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:02,000
You're just taking that as kind of a jumping point and making a story from it.
723
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:07,000
Right. You have a basic framework and then you change everything else. And that's cheating.
724
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:11,000
I don't know. I thought this was an enjoyable movie to a point.
725
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:15,000
It did leave me with a lot of head scratching questions.
726
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:21,000
But I thought Vincent Price was good. I wish he and Christopher Lee had been more adversarial.
727
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,000
They didn't even really know each other.
728
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,000
And they had one brief scene as new heart was dying.
729
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:30,000
And that's really not enough to make a huge ad campaign about.
730
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,000
So it was good enough, but it definitely could have been better.
731
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:38,000
So Cheryl, how would you equate that to awaiting using our A.I.P. scale where A is awesome.
732
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,000
I is intermediate and P is pathetic.
733
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,000
I think it's pretty obvious that I was going to vote I for intermediate.
734
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:49,000
Just because of all the things that had they thought about it a little more worked a little harder.
735
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:54,000
The script could have been better and a better script would mean a better movie.
736
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,000
I felt like everything else was pretty well in place.
737
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:00,000
The atmosphere was good. The acting was good. Love the costumes.
738
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,000
Love the setting.
739
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,000
It was only the story that I wish could be better.
740
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:06,000
What do you think?
741
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:11,000
I think the story was strong. I think it was everything around it.
742
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:14,000
Not the atmosphere. The atmosphere was good. I agree with you there.
743
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:18,000
And the acting is fine. It just comes out to a script that's just not very clear.
744
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,000
Well, that's the story. That's what I meant.
745
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:25,000
No, it's different. The story is the backbone of everything.
746
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,000
The script is how it's presented.
747
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:30,000
Well, I meant the script. The script could have been better.
748
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:35,000
They had good story elements, but the script left a lot to be desired.
749
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:40,000
I agree. I think the idea of a man being buried alive
750
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,000
and then for obvious reasons,
751
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:46,000
wanting to extract revenge on those who could have prevented it or...
752
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:47,000
Rescued it.
753
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,000
We're supposed to have prevented it.
754
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:52,000
Or should have pried that lid off as soon as they knew.
755
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,000
So I can sympathize with Edward.
756
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:55,000
Oh, totally.
757
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,000
I think it may have been a disservice to have him a complete and utter madman.
758
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:01,000
I think maybe even moments of sanity would help.
759
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:05,000
It kind of reminds me of Claude Reigns' portrayal of the invisible man.
760
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,000
You kind of was invisible.
761
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:09,000
Maybe that's why I made it. It was just the mask.
762
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:12,000
Not to the extent of how broad Claude Reigns played it,
763
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:18,000
but just the idea of somebody going crazy and not being able to show his face.
764
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,000
Oh, definitely.
765
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,000
I had a lot of sympathy for Edward in this.
766
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,000
Even though the movie lost me when he killed Heidi,
767
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,000
but that's not his fault. That's a script again.
768
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:35,000
Yeah, I think if maybe they just made him a more tragic character rather than this insane guy who had been on revenge,
769
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,000
it would have played a lot better.
770
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:39,000
It definitely would have.
771
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:46,000
That's the thing that it's missing really is either a different POV than just...
772
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:50,000
We're watching everything happen as if it was a stage play.
773
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:53,000
But actually, if we could have seen through the eyes of Edward,
774
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:58,000
or we could have seen through the eyes of Elizabeth or someone else and let all this happen,
775
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,000
and we're all realizing at the same time.
776
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:04,000
So this one is almost a really good movie.
777
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:09,000
And as it is, it's almost an OK movie.
778
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:13,000
It's decent. It's just not very well told. I say that a lot.
779
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:17,000
But the script just could have been a lot clearer.
780
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:21,000
It could have been more convincing with Edward's character.
781
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,000
And I'm going to give this an eye as well.
782
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,000
I don't think there's any other grade you could give it really.
783
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,000
I guess you could hate it.
784
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:33,000
Like a lot of those movie reviewers who did the contemporary reviews did.
785
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,000
They seemed to really enjoy picking it apart.
786
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,000
And I don't want to pick it apart.
787
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,000
I just wanted it to be just a bit better.
788
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:46,000
And I think had it been, then we would be talking about what a great A movie we just watched.
789
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,000
I didn't hate it.
790
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:51,000
I didn't say I wasn't going to compare it to the other Poe movies.
791
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:55,000
But having this location just seemed so much brighter and bigger,
792
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,000
even though a lot of the movie is dark.
793
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,000
But the sunlight scenes are bright.
794
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:02,000
And I've talked about way back when we did House of Usher,
795
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:06,000
how the set dressing was impressive because it was so filled.
796
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,000
And this just looked more real.
797
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,000
It didn't look like sets at all.
798
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:11,000
I mean, it wasn't.
799
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:14,000
But it just looked like a real lived in manner.
800
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:21,000
Well, think of the terror, which would not Poe, but Horman did that basically on a slight weekend break from doing a Poe movie.
801
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,000
Well, on the sets of the Ravens, so we can count it.
802
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:24,000
Right.
803
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:28,000
And that was a castle that was basically empty.
804
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:31,000
And there were just bunch of passages underneath it.
805
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:34,000
And that did not feel like a place where people lived.
806
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:38,000
That felt like somebody found a haunted castle and they decided to make a movie there.
807
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,000
But this seemed like a real home.
808
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:45,000
These sets seemed like real places that people would live or work or just be.
809
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,000
And comparing Hessler's movie to Carman's,
810
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:52,000
I don't know that that's really fair to compare it so negatively.
811
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,000
I thought it was comparing it positively.
812
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:57,000
Well, one of the reviewers said that Hessler's no Carman basically.
813
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:01,000
And that this movie was too talky, but Carman does talky.
814
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:02,000
Carman does really talky.
815
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:03,000
Yeah.
816
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,000
So I don't know what he's been watching.
817
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,000
So that's not a fair comparison.
818
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,000
There's good Carman and there's not so great Carman.
819
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:14,000
Well, we haven't done it yet, but when we get around to doing the tomb of La Gia,
820
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:23,000
that one is shot in Europe on location and has a definite grander look to it than any of the pose that you might have seen before.
821
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,000
Yeah, I can't wait.
822
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:29,000
And one more thing I want to mention is we had Ivor Dean here as Hawthorne.
823
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:33,000
We saw him last in a part he hadn't played yet at this time,
824
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:38,000
but he appeared as Burke of Burke and Hare in Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde.
825
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:42,000
And it was kind of fun seeing a familiar face in this one.
826
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:46,000
Well, now that we've picked apart the Ovelong box, we'd like to know what you think about it.
827
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:50,000
And the best way to tell us is via our website, aippod.com.
828
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:52,000
We have a contact us form.
829

And there you can also find the source of AIP paraphernalia that you won't hear in A podcast,
830
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:05,000
such as lobby cards, posters, trailers, and more. That's aippod.com.
831
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:09,000
And with that, it's time to nail down the lid of The Oblong Box.
