" I'll get the groceries, dad." " Okay." " You comin' rich?" " Right there." "Dad?" "Yeah, rich?" "Do you think there's any chance of you and mom ever getting together again?" "Now, rich, we have been all through that." "Start a fire, huh?" "You used to love each other." "Well things are different now, Richie." "We just feel it's better if we live apart." "And I guess it was kinda an impossible situation." "Always fighting all the time." "I know, I used to listen." "Well that was one of the reasons." "But there are other things that you just don't understand." "You know, it doesn't change mom's and my love for you." "I know, dad, I understand." "It's just that I keep remembering of the way we used to be, that's all." "You know, rich, you are the single blessing in my life." "Now, how about a walk in the woods to work up our appetite?" " For a TV dinner?" " No, for a dinner in town." "Hooray!" "How about a steak tonight?" " A hamburger for me." " A hamburger it is." " And French fries?" " And French fries." "Hey Richie?" "Come on." "Okay, dad." "Dad!" "Dad!" "Dad!" "Help!" "Dad!" "Dad, help!" "Dad!" "Dad!" "Are you all right?" "We've got to get you to a doctor." "God." "Oh my god." "My god, my god." "Oh, it was a real werewolf, sheriff." "It attacked us!" "It came right out of the woods." "Oh you should have seen it, it was gigantic." "It grabbed me and my dad hit it over the head with that cane, over and over- rich, rich, rich." "Well I was just telling the sheriff about the werewolf." "See where the werewolf bit his arm, sheriff?" "Now rich, that's enough." "Now, your boy has quite an imagination, hasn't he?" "This is your cane isn't it, Mr. bridgestone?" "Yes, it is." "When you get to feeling a little better," "I'd like you to come down to the office and tell us all about it." "Well I only wish there was something i could tell you, sheriff." "From what I saw up there it was obviously self-defense." "The man, what about him?" "Who was he?" "We can't get a make on him." "No clothing labels, no fingerprints on file, no I.D., no car, nothing." "And what makes it even more cockeyed, his blood doesn't fit any blood type known." "Now I thought maybe you could shed some light on who he was." "Beats me, sheriff." "I couldn't see very well." "I had all I could do to fight him off." "This is the way you did it, huh dad?" "Whack!" "Whack!" "Whack!" "Whack!" "Stop it, son." "Killing isn't funny." "It was a monster, sheriff, honest." "Wasn't it, dad, you saw it?" "Now rich, stop this monster nonsense." "I'll have to have this at the inquest." "Oh gee, I wanted to show it to my friends." "Well supposing i run into a werewolf?" "I've gotta have some protection too, right?" "I'll see you at the office." "I'll get my stuff, dad." "Coming." "Hi mom!" " Darling, are you okay?" " Yeah, mom, I'm fine." "Oh, thank god." "But I wouldn't have been if it hadn't have been for dad." "No concern for poor ol' dad?" "Why don't you come on in, you look like you could use a drink." "Thanks, I need something, yeah." "Usual?" " And a hot chocolate for me!" " Bed, for you." "Oh mom!" "My god, that killing must have been a horrible experience." "He grabbbed Richie and i had to do something." "Honestly, I never intended to, well have it all turn out the way it did." "You did what was right, i would have done the same thing." "Maybe if I followed your suggestion and joined you two at the cabin, all of this wouldn't have happened." "Yeah, but you were working." "Coming genius of the publishing world." "That's a little far-fetched." "That's why you're my ex-wife, remember?" "Women of the world unite and all that garbage." "Well, you're chauvinistic brain is still functioning so I know you weren't hit in the head." "Of all the women in the world who used to fight over me," "I picked not only a beauty, but a senior partner as well." "I guess you could describe it as a spooky marriage, but we got a heck of a divorce." "Did you hear about the werewolf?" "It was like this!" "And then dad hit it." "Whack!" "Whack!" "Did dad tell ya?" "Well not exactly in that way." "Well it was a werewolf." "Well kiss daddy and get thee to bed, little monster." "Hey, you gonna spend the night dad?" "Yeah, I'd sure like to." "How bout it mom, please mom?" "Come on, hot shot." "I really got to get back to my apartment." "Now, I've got a tough Clay tomorrow, so let's get you to bed." "I love you, dad." "I know, rich." "And I love you too." " Now good night." " Good night." "I'm getting a little jealous, all that love and affection." "There's a lot more where that came from." "Robert, I really have to go to bed too." "Yes, I know, your work is very time-consuming." " I have time for other things." " Like what?" "Like taking care of our son." "Yes, you've done okay with him, Sandy, you really have." "You've always been a very good mother." " But a lousy wife." " Oh." "Well speaking of our son, Robert," "Dr. marderosian would like to see you." "What does the good psychiatrist have to say about him?" "Well the doctor thinks he's really doing quite well but he wishes Richie wouldn't carry on so when you come over and don't stay." "Look, I would be happy to stay." "He thinks this experience at the cabin might set him back in his analysis." "It's only an hour of your time." "It's only an hour of your time to see the psychiatrist." "Good night, Robert." "Good night." "It's not a new phenomenon, Mr. bridgestone." "Devils, witches, werewolves, have been with us throughout the ages." "I'm a profound believer in the fact that children do actually see monsters." "Doctor, you can't be serious." "But I am." "Doctor, that was no monster I killed out there that was a man." "But your son cannot equate with your killing a man, so the man becomes a monster and you" "St. George slaying the dragon." "It really was a monster, in his eyes." "He really believes it." "Then what do you suggest that we do about that?" "Take him back up to the mountains." "And show him that the place where you both had this experience is a real place." "And the werewolf business, that will disappear?" "Possibly." "Would it be a good idea if my ex-wife, his mother, went with us if she's willing?" "Not this time." "Take him back up as you've been doing, once he gets over his werewolf fixation, then take your wife." "Show him that just because you're not living together, doesn't mean you can't be together on occasion." "Thank you, doctor, I'll take your advice." "Oh by the way, you realize I'll have to charge you just as in the case of a patient." "You want the check now?" "It'll wait." "Thank you." "You know, dad, we're lucky that that werewolf got stuck through the heart with that road sign." "Hmm?" "Because there's only three ways that you can kill a werewolf." " Oh?" " By being stuck through the heart, or by being bashed through the head with something made of silver." "Or with wolfsbane." "Oh that's a mysterious plant that suffocates werewolves." "And it only blooms in the full moon." "Okay expert, be sure to check our barbecue area for mysterious plants because we don't want to suffocate, do we?" "We going to have a cookout tonight?" "If you can provide us with enough fresh fish, yes we are." "Hooray!" "I'll catch all the fish we can eat, maybe more." "What's that dad?" "Looks like a commune of some kind." " Can we stop?" " Stop or fish, it's up to you." " Can we stop next time?" " Okay, that's a promise." "Howdy, sir." "It's only the Bible, sheriff, thanks." "What the hell is this?" "It's a cross, man." "I know it's a cross." "Not just a cross, but protection." "Protection on this heavenly hell we call the earth." "Protection from Satan." "Protection for all people." "Protection from evil." "It reminds us of the lord, tells it like it is, if you listen, man." "Well now you listen, man, and I'll tell it like it is." "Now you take that cross and all your people out of here." "Don't you people know you have no right of assembly without a permit?" " You know what this is, sheriff?" " Yes, I know what this is." "How long you people planning on staying up here?" "Forever." "Reincarnation, man, that's where it's at." "Many mansions right here in these mountains." "Give me my staff." "Prayer meeting!" "Prayer meeting, sheriff." "Tonight's the night!" "Maybe god's going to do something for you tonight." " You believe it?" " Hallelujah!" "Praise god!" "Oh lord!" "Dramatists!" "Writers!" "Folk singers!" "Young revolutionaries!" "Keep hollering that man is sick." "That god is dead." "Is that so?" "No!" "God is not dead, he lives!" "Care to join us, sheriff?" "God is not dead." "If that were true then there would be danger everywhere." "No woods to roam." "No outer space to go out to." "Hey man, god is not dead." "Man is not sick." " Because my people are alive." " Right on!" "You are alive!" "And up on life!" " And saved!" " Hallelujah!" "Hallelujah!" "Now listen, you freaks." "This is a forest area." "No cutting of trees and be careful of your campfire." "And oh, no smoking." "You call us freaks?" "Well we're not freak freaks, we're freaked out, man, freaked out on god!" " I'll get the fishing stuff, dad." " Okay." "Aren't you coming, dad?" "Yeah, you go ahead." "I'll meet you down there." "Soon as I..." "Don't forget the net, dad!" "Dad I hope you got the net." "Boy, he's a" "help!" "Dad!" "Help!" "Help!" "Happy?" "Thirsty." "Black coffee for you." "And milk for me." "Every body needs milk, except yours." "And how is that?" "You know how it puts you to sleep." "You want to drink this?" "Or wear it?" "Love me?" "No don't, you don't know who it is." "Who's out there?" "I've got a gun in here, now who's out there?" "Let me in!" "Let me in!" "It's some kid." "Let me in!" "Please let me in!" "Hey old boy, what are you doing out here in the black of night?" "There's a werewolf on the loose!" "A werewolf." "I think you better come inside." "Honest, and my dad's out there." "What's your name, kid?" "Richard bridgeston." "But my dad!" "You gotta help me find him." "Easy now, where do you live?" "We have a cabin a couple miles back, but my dad, he'll get attacked by the werewolf, he'll get torn to pieces!" "Aw, quiet down now, come on." "Stop your crying." "Sit down." "I just wanna find my dad." "He's probably trying to find you too." "Just because he gets a little mad at you doesn't mean he wants you running off in the middle of the night." "You don't understand." "We've gotta tell someone!" "Please, we gotta find him!" "You've already told us." "Look, drink this, it'll calm you down." "I don't want it." "I want to find my dad!" "Son, it's late at night." "You can't go all over the forest looking for someone now can you?" "Stay here, we'll take you home in the morning." "Do you know what a werewolf is?" "Sure, kid." "We go to the drive-ins all the time." "Here, drink this milk, it'll put you to sleep." "Yeah, just like another little boy I know who's going to take this blanket and sleep out in the car." "Well if you're not taking me home," "I'm going by myself." " I guess he's going home." " And you're taking him." "Okay, come on, man, let's go find your dad." "Hey wait." "Aren't you going to take your gun?" "No, I think we better leave it here." "Just in case that werewolf comes while we're gone." "Dad!" "Come on, kid, forget it." "Dad!" "Look kid, there's nobody around here." "The old man's gotta be out there looking for you." "Now why don't you just jump into bed, keep your door locked, you'll be all right." "Hey mister, can I go back to the trailer with ya?" "Do like I said." "There's nothing to be afraid of." "Oh please, mister, I'm scared to death." "Okay kid, come on." "Jenny will sure be glad to see you." "Don't make so much noise, you'll wake the houseguest." "Who's that coming, the houseguest for tonight?" "What do you want?" "I'm looking for my son." "You must be Richie's father." "Boy am I glad to see you." "We had a hell of a problem with a monster here all night." "Dad!" "Oh, Richie!" "I saw it again last night, the werewolf." "Oh Richie!" "It's true dad." "You look in worse shape than your kid." "Oh, I've been looking for him all night." "Does he run away from home all the time?" "He didn't mean to run away." "Like to stay for breakfast?" "We have to get along, but thank you very much for looking after him." "Kids." "Is that really what you want?" "Nope." "I want a little girl." "Except for one missing arm, that's all the same guy." "What about the car that went over the cliff?" "Burned to a crisp." "A man and his wife." "Hey sheriff." "What's going on, sheriff?" "Just a bad accident, Mr. Duncan." "People just don't know how to drive these mountains, do they?" "I'm going to get some pictures." "I always carry this camera just in case." " Duncan?" "Duncan?" " See what I mean?" "Duncan, your car is blocking traffic, if you don't get it out of here I'll write you a ticket." "Just a couple pictures, sheriff?" "A couple of pictures will cost you 30 dollars and a full day in court." "Here's the rest of him." "Well you had a good look?" "Now get the hell out of here." "Well what do you think, sheriff?" "I don't know." "Something must have come down out of the hills, a puma, bear, wolves maybe." "Hey dad?" "Help!" "Help me!" " Hello!" " Hello, sheriff." "Glad to see you're all right." "Certainly sheriff, why shouldn't I be?" "Well ever since the night you were attacked we've been having some strange things going on up here." "Like what?" "Last night two people in a trailer had a terrible accident." "The trailer went over a cliff." "Well what's so strange about that?" "Only this, when we found it this morning, one of the victim's head was missing." "God, that's awful." "Just like the truck driver." " Truck driver?" " Yeah, ripped to shreds." "As though some wild animal had just got to him." "What is it?" "Whatever it is we're making a thorough search of the area." "There's no telling where this thing could be hiding out." "Mind if I look around?" "Hi, son." "Hi." "You seen any werewolves lately?" "No." "Look Mr. bridgestone, I'm getting some men together to try and track this thing down, I want you to join us." "Well I'm sorry sheriff, but we have to get on home." "We got a damn man-eater running around here and you're sorry." "From our newsroom, here's a weird one." "A small town sheriff in the mountains nearby reports the presence of an unseen something which he claims have been the cause of three fatalities there." "The bodies of the victims have been beheaded, and as yet there is no clue as to what could have done it." "Well, it's all very exciting and you satanists in my listening audience, take heed." "Remember the elevation there is about 8000 feet, and it's a habitat for a lot of hippie families." "I guess they're all pretty high up there, including the sheriff, maybe?" "Careful, sheriff, the werewolf will get you, if you don't watch out." "Muh-ha-ha!" "All right, here's a little number that's moving right up on the charts." "Unfortunately, I have an appointment first thing in the morning, or we could have stayed up and gone with the sheriff." "No doubt he's looking for some sort of man-eating animal." "It's not an animal, dad, it's a werewolf." "Richie, that is not possible." "Don't you remember anything about last night?" "What do you mean?" "What happened last night?" "You took this bag into the basement." "I don't know what you're talking about Richie." "Your imagination is running away with you again." "What was in that bag?" "I didn't have time to look, i just covered it up so the sheriff wouldn't find it." "Now Richie, the sheriff and I went into the basement at exactly the same time and there was no bag in there." "All right, dad." "If you say so." "Rich, how about dinner Friday night?" "The two of us." "Richie!" "Richie?" "What's the matter?" "Richard, open this door." "Richie?" "Is he gone?" "What happened between you two?" "I don't want to be with him anymore." "I'm scared of dad, mom." "Richard!" "Oh, now, now, now." "It can't be that bad." "Now tell me what happened." "He's a monster, mom, a real werewolf, but he doesn't remember it." "I wasn't sure at first but now I know." "Honest!" "Now start in the beginning, okay?" "I hooked this big fish, see, and then this werewolf comes out of the forest, the same kind of thing that attacked, dad, remember?" "Well, it ran after me." "This truck went out of control and I hid." "And then it ran out on the road and these people in a car went over a cliff, it grabbed them, it started tearing them apart." "It grabbed them by the head mom!" "It was a werewolf I know it was." "And all this time i was looking for dad, and I couldn't find him." "Oh, it sounds like a nightmare, that's all." "No, mom he is!" "I'm not a little kid anymore." "It wasn't a nightmare!" "Richie, you can't make up stories like that about your dad." "Come on, little boys are always seeing monsters and it's easy to imagine that they're their parents." "It's true!" "Every word!" "I am glad you could make it." "I have to work you know." "With the alimony I've been paying you I always wondered why." "When I become senior executive, I'll relieve you of the responsibility." "Oh I'll gladly accept." "Well what was the urgent phone call about?" "Oh Robert, I'm sorry." "It's just that we have a big problem with Richie." "He's on that werewolf kick again." "Did you drag me out here just to tell me that?" "I know you've heard it before, but this time he thinks it's you." "That is lunacy." "Obviously." "Can't you handle the boy anymore Sandy?" "Oh, it's beyond me." "I've discussed it with Dr. marderosian and he thinks we ought to take it more seriously." "He wants to see you." "Are you saying that you believe I am a werewolf?" "Let's say Mr. bridgestone, that I believe the boy." "After all, the occult practice is merely a primitive form of psychiatry." "You're crazy, doctor, you know that?" "Well that's a point for discussion." "But quite seriously, I'm convinced he believes you are a werewolf." "He is either trying to give us a hard time, doctor, or he's suffering from hallucinations." "I don't think so." "Something beyond that first experience has left Richard in a traumatic state." "Furthermore, I believe it does involve you." "Of course, it involves me, doctor." "He saw me kill a man up there." "And I'm trying very hard to live that down." "No, it's something more horrible to him than that." "What?" "You see Mr. bridgestone, when you take Richie up to the mountains, occasionally you run into a full moon." "Occasionally, yes, but what has that got to do with it?" "In the case of werewolfism, the phenomenon is supposed to happen at times when the moon is full." "In between those times the person possessed thinks himself perfectly normal." "If there's no memory how does anyone know?" "Legend has it, Mr. bridgestone, that the werewolf's index fingers become longer than the center fingers." "What the hell is the matter with my fingers then?" "The legend goes on to say that the longer a person is possessed, eventually his hands may stay deformed." "A kind of mark of Satan." "One can believe these things or not." "Certainly ancient civilizations had their share of devil worship and demon possession." "And did believe in the occult." "Well I am not a believer in the occult." "Maybe not." "There's a little poem by an unknown author which phrases it quite succinctly." "It goes like this." ""The hand of Satan shadows all touch a few with evil's call."" "Are you saying that you believe I'm touched with evil, is that it?" "Well, I don't believe it." "You may not believe it, Mr. bridgestone." "But your son does." "What are you doing here in the dark?" "Its a full moon again." "Dad's going to become a werewolf, we've gotta do something." "Oh Richie, good god." "We gotta help him, mom." "Maybe we can take him to some kind of doctor." "He's infected, mom." "I read it in my book about werewolves." "It says people can become werewolves by being bitten or scratched by another werewolf." "You saw it, mom, the bite on his arm, remember?" "We've gotta help him." "Richie, this whole werewolf business is nonsense." "No it isn't, mom." "Dad's supposed to take me to the cabin in the morning, and I'm scared to go." "Well there's no need to be frightened because" "I'm going to go with you." "I don't think anyone should go up there." "Dad needs a doctor." "And you need to get ready for dinner, now scoot." "Come on in!" "Door's open!" "What is all this?" "Surprise." "I'm going with you." "Ah-ah." "To quote our son, hooray!" "Carrots?" "Vitamin a." "Heaven knows what you two eat when you're up there alone." "The body has other requirements." "Man does not live by carrots alone." "I'm only the cook this trip." "But suppose we run into a big romantic moon up there?" "We will enjoy it from separate bedrooms." "At least I will eat well." "Go finish your newspaper while I finish." "Dad?" " Is it okay about mom?" " There's no doubt about that." "And no hooray?" "Hooray." "Here, let me help you." "Okay, you guys, come on in here and help me with these things." "You load the car and I'll help mom." "I'm hungry already." "Is that everything?" "All except your tote bag, it's still on the hall table." "Hey, I better leave some lights on." "Gee I'm glad I came along." "I didn't realize these mountains were this beautiful." "And the air, it's too much." "Maybe everything just might be the way it used to be, hey rich?" "Oh look, rich, there's that commune we saw." "And I promised rich we'd stop." "Peace and contentment!" "Now listen, the earth our mother gives us love." "There is evil everywhere." "And the end of man is coming, and therefore the end of the planet." " Done in by evil!" " Tell it, lover." "And there is evil here, right now." "We're going to rip it off brothers, right?" "Rip it off!" "Rip it off, brothers!" "Rip it off!" "Do you come to join us brothers?" "Well no, we just stopped to watch." "Oh no, something made you stop here." " Amen." " You've come to be saved." "And saved ye shall be!" "This is a Jesus encampment, and these, these are his people." "Make way for a pentagram." "Oh god!" "God!" "This is not a black mask!" "No blood of newborn babies!" "No sacrifices!" "We want to keep the fallen angel out." "I want a pitching session with you god." "I want to find the truth, and these people want to find it too!" "We're going to cast out evil, cast it back to Satan." "Praise the lord!" "Praise the lord!" "Do you love god?" "Of course, everybody loves god." "If you love god, then step into the circle, brother, for it protects you from the devil." "Get out!" "And get off!" "Get out and get off!" "Get out and get off!" "Get out and get off!" "We might as well get out and get off." "Get out and get off!" "Get out and get off!" "Come along brother, we're going to have a prayer meeting in this circle." "We're going to fill this pentagram with love." "What shields us from Satan." "Praise the lord!" "Praise the lord!" "Enter!" "Enter!" "It's only a pentagram, sir." "Surely there's nothing of the devil here in these beautiful mountains of god?" "So only a demon of hell cannot enter." "But if he or she is pulled in, the evil possessing that person, will be forced out!" "Enter!" "Enter!" "Thank you for the invitation, but we have to leave." "Maybe some other time." "Praise the lord!" "Praise the lord!" "We're all children of the universe!" "All!" "And we're all his family!" "Amen!" "Amen!" "Amen!" "Amen!" "And now gentlemen, this little masterpiece will be served in the living room." "Beef stroganoff, marinara, salad and now this," "Sandy, you are sensational." "And I had forgotten you could even cook." "Well how could I miss?" "Fireplace, candles, there's even a full moon out there." "Don't you want your dessert, Richie?" "It's your favorite." "He's more upset than ever." "Maybe the best thing would be for us to get back together again." "I don't mean, just for Richie." "I can't tell you how lonely I've been." "There must be some way of working this thing out for ourselves." "Why don't we let the dishes go till morning?" "Well, that's not a very romantic thing to do." "Darling, unzip me?" "Be a shame to mess up that third bedroom." "I'll go check on Richie." "Dad!" " What's in that bag?" " Never mind that." "Listen, Richie, i want you to help me." "I can feel it, Richie, i want you to lock me in here." "And no matter what you hear, or what I might say, don't let me out!" "I think we should tell mom." "No please, Richie, please, just do as I say." "Dad, are you sure?" "Oh yes, Richie." "I'm sure." "Oh, Richie." "If I should ever hurt you." "Would you?" "Hurt me I mean?" "I don't know Richie what I do to you or anyone else when I'm like that." "Now please, lock me in, and don't let that thing out." "Hurry, Richie." "Hurry!" "Lock it!" "Lock it!" " No." " Lock it!" "Richie?" "Where's your father?" "Inside, I've locked him in." "Oh, Richie!" "Mom, no!" " No, mom, please!" " Richie, stop it!" "Mom, please come back." "What's going on in there, what's all this noise?" "It's dad, he's a werewolf again." "Richie, I'm sick and tired of all this nonsense." "Mom, please no!" "Keys!" "Hurry mom!" "Hurry faster!" "Hurry!" "And the work of righteousness shall be peace." "And the effect of righteousness, quietness, and assurance forever." "And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation and ensure dwelling in quiet resting places," "when it shall hail coming down on the forest and the city shall be low in a low place." "Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters that send forth hither the feet of the ox and the ass." "The indignation of the lord is upon all nations and his fury upon all their armies." "He hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter." "Yeah." "Oh, that's good man." "Aw, come back to bed why don't ya?" "You act like you're beginning to believe all that stuff." "Of course I believe it, it's the Bible." "Come off it." "Hey ' a demon is coming to test us." "You're nuts, there's nothing coming." "Awaken!" "Awaken!" "In the name of Jesus, awaken!" "On your feet, brothers." "On your feet!" "Come to the cross." "Meeting time!" "Meeting time!" "I'm going to preach on the blood." "A demon is coming to test us." "Sent by Satan!" "Satan!" "Tempt us, torture us!" "Guilt and shame!" "Give us this demon, and let us exorcise it!" "Jesus Christ!" "Do something!" "Do something!" " What can I do?" " Pray, you silly bastard!" "Children of god, don't get hassled, don't get hassled." "This demon activity is sent to test us." "To show us the power." "Blood of Jesus." "We'll exorcise this damnation!" "Don't get carried away, lover." "Maybe you better stick to praying." "Come!" "Come to the master's house, but don't let it get you." "Come, make a pentecostal pyramid." "Man is not a beast, compared to man, beasts are angels." "Do they kill their own for the sake of killing?" "Do they worship Satan?" "Man wrecks and ravages and calls the devil, but unlike beasts, and unlike angels, man can cry and confess and repent!" "Change!" "And begin again." "Give the devil hell!" "What is it?" "What do you want?" "God is what I say!" "And god is what help there is." " Exorcise and beat this thing." " Beat this thing!" " Kill it!" " Kill it!" " Freak it out!" " Freak it out!" " Rip it off!" " Rip it off!" "For Christ's sake!" "I want hell, say it!" "Praise god!" "In the name of Jesus!" "Oh, out of sight, lover." "Oh out of sight, hell, we're going to go to town and tell somebody about this." " Find anything?" " Not a thing." "Well it could have been a large wolf or a mountain lion searching for food." "More than likely." "Just what did you see Mrs. bridgestone?" "I really can't describe it to you, it was too dark." "I can tell you, sheriff." "It's my clad, it's a werewolf." "Now look, you pull yourself together boy." "Just hope we get it before it gets your clad." "Bill you and Jim stay here and look out after Mrs. bridgestone." "There's nothing to be afraid of." "I'm not afraid, I'm just worried about my husband." "You don't understand." "He's the werewolf!" "Come on, ed." "It-it is my clad!" "It was an exorcism worthy of a jesuit." " Quiet down!" " Cool it!" "You heard the sheriff." "What are you people on?" "You smoking pot or shooting up or what?" "We're not on anything, sheriff." "We get our highs off of god." " Hallelujah." " Say it again." " Hallelujah, brother." " Hallelujah." "The world is full of evil." "We cast that old Satan back to hell, where he belongs." "Look, I'm getting sick and tired of your devil talk." "I want a straight answer." "Could it have been a man?" "It was sent to us brothers, and we all saw it as a man." "But it was a beast." "Did you get a good look at it?" "Could you identify it?" "Me?" "Identify the hand of Satan?" "Could you identify a black cat in a dark alley?" "You tell him, lover." "Well, are we going to sit around and let an animal chew everybody up in town?" "No!" "We gotta protect our families." "That's right!" "Come on!" "What are you going to do about it sheriff?" "I know what I'm going to do, and I'm going to tell you what you're going to do." "You're going to get the hell out of here, go on home and get off my back!" "All of ya!" "Everything all right?" "Yeah, thank god that lady's finally getting some sleep." "Dad!" "Dad, no!" "Dad!" "Dad!" "Run, Richie, run!" "Dad don't!" "Mon'!" "Are you all right Mrs. bridgestone?" "Yeah." "What was it?" "I saw its face, it's an animal!" "How many times do i have to tell you?" "It's dad, he's the werewolf!" "Got away." "We better report this to the sheriff." "Mrs. bridgestone, you and your son come with us." "Duncan!" "Why the hell didn't you shoot it in the first place?" "Guns, brother, have a certain association with the bloody side of things." "We just want our cross." "Amen." "All right, get back, give the man room." "Ed take your group around through the pine lake area," "I'll comb the woods around high Ridge, that's how we got that bear last year." "Right." "All right boys, let's go." "We need to stay close." "And I'll take a prayer book and read the services for the burial of the dead." "Do me a favor?" "You and that freaky dame go back to that damn camp of yours with the rest of your freaks and stay there!" "I'm going to go him one better." "I'm going to take my people to greener pastures." "Why lover?" "I kinda like it up here." "After that little number last night I'm not going to try for an encore." "Move over Monica." "Let's go with them, mom." "There's no telling what those people would do to him." "Oh Richie!" "Well if it isn't dad then where is he?" "You don't know, nobody knows." "He's not at the house and he's not here." "Then where is he?" "He picked you up, mom." "Can an animal carry a human being?" "Well can he?" "Okay, son, we'll go along." "Don't touch it!" "Don't touch it." "It's a sign." "God don't want us here." "Now pack up, we're going to get out of here." "That could be it." "Come on!" "I thought I told you to cover the lake area." "Where we going?" "The lord took a mighty strong west wind, turned away all the locusts and there remained not one." " Yeah, but where are we going?" " To Arizona." "We're going to kiss these mountains off." "Amen!" "Let's" "you find anything, sheriff?" "There's nothing here." "Ah, but there is something here, sheriff." "Yeah I know." "God." "That's it." "It's my dad." "Nonsense, boy." "It's a big gray, a timber wolf, probably been hurt." "Check your guns, if you see him put him out of his misery." " Richie come back here!" " Stop that boy!" "Hey lover, you gotta get into this." "Do you think i could do it again?" "You did pretty good last night." "Yeah, oh, it's wild." "Let's come on, we're going back." "Dad?" "Richie!" "Where the hell is that kid?" "Run dad!" "Run!" "It'll be morning soon, then you'll be okay." "They're coming after you!" "Run please!" "There he is!" "Don't fire!" "You'll hit the boy!" "Ed!" "Hold it right there!" "Pull ahead!" "Come on, pull ahead." "Run dad!" "Hold your fire!" "Richie!" "Dad you're hurting me!" "No!" "No!" "Richie!" "Get back!" "Back!" "Stop it!" "Stop!" "Wait for daylight!" "Wait!" "No!" "Please no!" "Hold it!" "Hold it!" "Oh god!" "Why couldn't you have waited till morning?"
