Transcript

Touch. Where nobody rests in peace, this is the warehouse where the newly dead are embalmed, but not always buried, a storehouse of terror and atrocity.

Take, Rick! The close encounter, the sleep-walking trance of the disturbed, the innocent made to feel guilty, stalked by the unknown, nocturnal terror, death looking in the dark.

There's no way out, Mary McDonough, Linda Day George. I mean, decided yet. Or would you rather be cremated instead of buried? My father was murdered in that pool. I know it. You're probably glad he's dead because of that.

The frightened brother just the point where the comfort of home offers an apparent sanctuary. Just when you think you're safe, just when help is only a phone call away.

Go out of here. Or house of terror and atrocity. Sleep-wogging trance of the disturbed.

The innocent made to feel guilty. Stocked by the unknown. Nuctrinal terror. Death looking instead of a George. I mean, decided yet. Or would you rather be cremated instead of buried?

We're probably glad he's dead because of us. And at just the point where the comfort of home offers an apparent sanctuary. Just when you think you're safe.

Just when help is only a phone call away.
