Did you like it?

- Now drop that and give me a kiss, honey! - Of course!

- This is a robbery, sucker! - Everybody quiet!

- Don't do that! - Calm down! Be nice, ok?

Let me go! Stop this! Stop!

Cut!

Let's use this one.

Well, that's enough for today. We continue tomorrow.

- Hard work, huh? - Yeah.

Ok guys, we finished for today. Let's gather the equipment.

Mr. Mojica, the reporters are waiting for you at the press conference.

???

What represent these awards that you won in France?

Well, certainly the conquest of the European film market.

Who is more important: Jos� Mojica Marins or Coffin Joe?

Jos� Mojica Marins...

Coffin Joe does not exist, it's just a character.

So why don't you wear false nails instead of letting yours grow?

It's all about authenticity.

Coffin Joe doesn't exist. He has no life.

I just used my body, my physical, to communicate an idea.

COFFIN JOE DOES NOT EXIST!

I think he didn't like your statement...

- What will be your next film? - I don't have the plot yet.

I will spend two months in the country house of a friend,

studying and analyzing facts that I have researched.

- The film already has a title? - Yes...

"The Demon Taker".

Exorcism?

Exorcism!

It's amazing! Seems like nature itself gets angry...

...when I deny the existence of Coffin Joe! - It's a coincidence.

It's the same case of Conan Doyle.

He was so eclipsed by his character...

that he decided to get rid of it, killing him in a fight in the Alps.

It's not my case, but I wish that the merits of my work...

were credited to me, not to a character. Fair enough, right?

Good morning, my love.

Are you going to ride?

No no. We will visit a furniture factory.

- Already? - We are thinking about the future.

- Let's go? - Yes.

- Well, another day we continue the chat. - With pleasure.

- Bye, Dad. - Bye, honey. - See you later.

You have many books about psychology and parapsychology.

I'll confess something that few people know...

I am writing a book about parapsychology.

Really parapsychology?

I always thought you were a strict Catholic!

I am.

There are two major misconceptions about parapsychology.

First...

That it would be opposed by the Catholic religion.

Second, that it would be a branch of spiritualism.

In the first case, I answer with the words of a priest,

theologian Corrado Balducci, who studied it a lot.

"It is impossible a contrast between science and faith,

because God is the author of nature and also of its laws,

and helps man to discover them."

Frankly, I didn't know that you were devoted to parapsychology.

It's a surprise to me.

In fact I'm a frustrated architect.

My dream was to be a psychiatrist, you know?

My frustration is the fact that I couldn't devote more time to research...

and need to hold to the experience of others.

- What happened? Say it! - What happened, daughter?

My daughter!

I CAME TO STAY! AND NO ONE WILL STOP ME!

NO ONE WILL STOP ME! NO ONE!

I HAVE A DEBT TO COLLECT IN THIS HOUSE!

I... AM... STRONGER!

I AM...

Mr. J�lio?

Mr. J�lio?

He fainted. Let's put him on the bed.

- What happened? - What was he saying?

- What happened, �lvaro? - Relax, friends, he fainted.

- My goodness! - Grandpa was so weird.

He seemed like another person.

- He ripped his clothes! - What happened, daughter?

I don't know. We were talking and suddenly he changed.

- It looked like... - Please! I said he only a fainted!

Are you better, Dad?

Yes.

Yes.

I am.

This is a normal thing. It was a simple fainting spell, that's all.

- You scared me so much, grandpa! - Are you feeling okay?

As a matter of fact...

I don't know what happened!

Go to your grandfather. Go.

His pulse is already normal.

- Are you okay, grandpa? - Yeah.

Mojica...

Tell me, �lvaro...

This usually happens with your father?

No. At least to my knowledge. Why?

He was strange when I entered the room, and spoke in a voice...

that was really different.

- Do you think I need to call a doctor? - No, I did not mean it.

Are you okay, grandpa?

I am, little one. I am.

Who's there?

Who's there?

- You are not sleeping yet? - I just pretended.

I want to go to the Christmas tree make a wish to Santa Claus.

Please don't tell anyone.

It's a deal.

I won't tell. Go ahead, but do it quickly. All right.

All right!

- What is it, Betinha? - The critters! I'm afraid!

Calm down, Betinha!

- The critters! - Don't panic!

Calm down, Betinha!

I'm afraid of the critters! I'm afraid!

- Calm down, Betinha, relax! - What's happened?

- What is it, daughter? - Calm down, Betinha!

- Calm down, Betinha! - What's happened, Mojica?

The Christmas tree...

What about the tree?

Nothing...

It was dark and she was affraid of the shadows.

Kid's stuff, you know? She's a little nervous.

You'd better take her to bed.

Sorry to bother you at this hour, but I need to talk to you.

And when I saw light under your bedroom door...

Did something happen? Mr. J�lio is not well?

No, he's fine. I need to talk to you.

Ask some questions. I don't want to wait until tomorrow.

Let's talk in here... or you prefer to talk in the library?

I need you to answer me...

When you entered the room...

How did you find my father-in-law?

How... how was he?

Yes, this is very important!

Well, I...

I'd say he was upset.

Or possessed?

Possessed?

Maybe...

He seemed to be someone else.

I didn't say anything to avoid panic, but I have to ask you one thing...

This kind of phenomenon tends to frequently happen to him?

No...

But I feared it.

I think I'll accept your invitation to go to the library.

You're a little nervous. Don't you want a sedative?

No, thanks.

My father-in-law... Did he say anything?

He said something...

like...

"I came to collect a debt...

I will not go out..."

But...

that's not what impressed me.

But actually...

his voice!

Why his voice?

It was not normal.

- And his eyes... - Thanks!

Is there anything I can do for you, L�cia?

No, unfortunately not.

But you've helped me a lot.

I don't know if I should tell you or not, but...

What else happened with Mr. J�lio?

Keep calm.

It was not with him.

But with me.

I went to the basement to check some noise and several books were thrown on me.

And then... the lights went out.

As for the incident with Betinha...

- I've also seen. - What did you saw?

The Christmas tree full of critters!

Don't you feel well? Can I help you, L�cia?

It's a subject that only me can solve. I must go now to the house of...

But I can't, I'm very nervous. Tomorrow I'll solve everything.

- Good night. And thanks! - Good night, L�cia.

Carlos?

I'M STRONGER! YOU WILL NOT STOP ME...

...AND I'LL HAVE WHAT I WANT!

Carlos? Carlos?!?

- Come back to you, Carlos! - What happened?

You were close to the lake...

You slipped and...

I jumped to help you.

That's weird! I was coming in the road when...

When suddenly something made me come back.

After opening the gate I... I don't remember anything!

Right. The important thing is that everything it's okay, Carlos.

It's all right...

Very well...

What a surprise! Come inside...

Inside!

What a coincidence...

Yesterday I was thinking of you.

How's Mr. J�lio? Is he better?

Yes...

Sorry about the mess, but...

last night I had a lot of work.

Do you want to sit? Huh?

What do you want, Malvina?

Look at you... You look so nervous!

Don't you want to sit down? Do you want a drink?

I want you to leave us alone!

Did I do something bad to you?

What does that mean?

"Wedding Announcement"

You are not doing what we agreed.

I never thought you'd take it seriously...

and so drastically.

Wilma is my daughter!

Is she really?

It was you who gave birth to her?

Answer me!

I give what you want!

Leave my daughter alone!

Leave us alone!

I ask you please!

I give you all you want!

I just want what we agreed.

Nothing more than that!

I was desperate!

You know how much �lvaro like children.

I was married for two years...

and the doctors didn't give me any hope of being a mother.

And then you came to me desperate,

begging me to help you.

I said I would give you a daughter in nine months...

with the condition that she will marry who I choose.

And you agreed.

Remember that?

I had no hope.

I would agree with anything.

And then you began to simulate pregnancy.

And four months after your husband won a scholarship.

Quite a coincidence, don't you think? He left for the United States..

and his father came to live with you.

You were very apprehensive, but I told you it would be no problem...

while you continue simulating pregnancy.

Nine months later... Do you remember what happened?

His father-in-law had an accident and was hospitalized!

Then you gave birth to a little girl.

When he returned home, his daughter was already 20 days.

No one suspected anything!

I...

I created her as if... As if she was my own daughter.

Wilma is not your daughter!

Only after four years you had your first child.

Wilma has other parents...

- Don't you want to know who they are? - I do not care!

I do not care!

On the birth certificate...

she is registered as the legitimate daughter of �lvaro!

It means nothing.

But what do you want?

Our deal is that she will marry with the person that I choose.

And you betrayed me, allowing her to be the bride of that boy.

Wilma belongs to me...

and she will marry whoever I want.

What will you do?

I do not know why you're so worried.

I asked if you knew who were the real parents of Wilma...

and you told me that you were not interested in knowing.

Wilma is free and will marry with whom she loves!

Wilma is already promised!

She will marry whoever I want...

or with anyone.

If you do something with her, I will kill you!

And it seems that this time the horror genre came back stronger...

and with more prestige than before.

To what do you attribute this resurgence of horror, Mr. Mojica?

Man needs to have some fantasy.

In childhood, it's the fairy tales.

In adulthood, tales of horror...

release their imagination, balancing the reality...

- ...and consequently their dreams. - You have set well, Mojica.

And besides all this...

theater, movies, television, literature, comic books,

now travel agencies are selling visits...

to famous castles known for its ghosts,

and even to the castle of Count Dracula in Transylvania.

A lucrative business, no doubt.

Fantasy and horror are part of the universal mythology.

Legends were born with mankind itself.

It's Toddy!

Toddy is crying! Toddy! Little Toddy!

I don't know, I don't know...

There must be an explanation, but...

But what? What? What?

Luciana!

My God!

Luciana? What's wrong with you? Give me that! Give me!

Stop, Luciana! Stop, stop!

Give me that! Give me that! Drop the knife!

Stop!

- Luciana! - My daughter!

Luciana! I am your mother!

I... am... your mother!

- Wilma? Are you alright? - Yes, help dad.

- Are you really well? - It was only a scratch.

- How's Luciana? - It was just a nightmare. Nothing more.

Your sister will sleep with you the rest of the night.

Look, that's where I found Toddy dead.

You know, Betinha, you should not be sad...

because we all have to die one day.

Toddy has fulfilled his mission. He is now resting.

I know everyone has to die and now I'm no longer sad.

Sometimes you confuses us, little girl!

Look, Wilma arrived.

Luciana's belt...

Wilma! Wilma!

What happened, Wilma?

Where is Carlos? Why are you crying?

What happened?

Oh my God...

They were leaving the supermarket when a car ran over the boy.

But it was nothing serious, he's already in the hospital.

Mommy! Mommy!!!

What happened? What happened to Carlos?

He was hit by a car.

Wilma is already promised! She will marry whoever I want...

or with anyone!

Wilma is already promised...

She will marry whoever I want or with anyone!

Wilma is already promised! She will marry whoever I want...

or with anyone... Anyone... Anyone!!!

Where's that boy?

You mean the boy who brought Wilma?

What is it, mommy? He was so nice, so kind.

He helped Carlos and brought me home.

Why do you got scared?

- Your mother is very nervous. - Are you okay, mom?

Yes, daughter...

I am.

- Where is... your father? - He went to get a tranquilizer.

You better get some rest, mom.

Drink this, L�cia.

Mr. J�lio? Mr. J�lio?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Nothing...

- Wilma! Wilma! - What?

The boy who brought you is still here.

- Thanks for everything. - Is your mother better?

- Yes, she is. Sorry about that. - It doesn't matter.

Must have been a shock know that your fiance was hit.

Mom is very sensitive.

I need to go now.

But if you allow me, I would like to come back another time...

to hear from your fiance, your mother... and from you.

Of course! Your presence will give us great pleasure.

I'm very pleased.

I'll take you to the car.

What are you doing, Betinha?

Nothing. Drawing.

The trident in the mirror...

When I saw the car on the sidewalk,

I had the feeling that it was going to kill me.

Must be an unpleasant feeling.

In fact it was so fast.

- And Wilma has recovered from the shock? - She should be resting.

I'll get some drinks.

According to your movies,

you must believe in the forces of Evil.

I'm a simple creator of fantasy.

The forces of Good and Evil are part of the subject of my work.

The supernatural.

Already have...

any new idea in mind?

Nothing!

- For now he is resting. - That's nice.

After New Year's Eve he will have a lot of time to work.

- Excuse me, gentlemen. I'll back in a minute. - Where are you going?

I'll get my cigarettes.

Forces of forces...

At the end of the end...

Whatever will be... will be!

EUGENIO...

Wilma?

Are you alright?

Wilma?

Wilma?

EUGENIO...

THE BLOOD WILL PERPETUATE OUR UNION...

EUGENIO... EUGENIO...

You need to wake up, Wilma!

Perfect...

Perfect...

Your orders were fulfilled, Master.

Spill the blood of those who do not deserve to live!

May the spark of a thunder destroy the slums of Nothing!

May the light goes out...

and the darkness perpetuated through the ages!

The time has come, Master! Our deadline is expiring!

Wilma and Eugenio must unite now...

- ...or else Wilma will become a normal creature. - NEVER!

Wilma is MY creation and Eugenio is the Son of Satan.

This union will be eternal! START THE RITUAL!

THE UNION OF EUGENIO AND WILMA WILL BE PERPETUAL!

THIS UNION WILL BE ETERNAL IN THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS...

WITH THE BLESSING OF SATAN!

- Hail the Evil Lord! - Hail the Evil Lord!

- Hail the Evil Lord!!! - Hail the Evil Lord!!!

HAIL THE EVIL LORD!!!

HAIL THE EVIL LORD!!!

NO!!!

But it's not possible!

I tried to avoid our meeting...

I tried...

- You don't exist! - Oh no?

So... you don't believe in what you create?

You are a creation of my mind!

For all there is... there is a reason to be...

If the man had...

conscious of the power of his mind...

all that... you will now see...

it would have no reason to exist.

But it can't exist!

MAY THE BLOOD AND THE PAIN...

SPREAD IN MY DOMAIN!

But...

Why?

Why?

Ages...

Traditions...

It does not exist for us!

Here... the past is the present! The present is the past!

Likewise... The past... will be the future!

This world does not belong to you!

LEAVE NOW! The doors are open!

IT'S YOUR LAST CHANCE!

MAY THE EVIL GENERATED BY MY FORCES...

CONTINUE THROUGH THE CENTURIES...

UNTIL THE DAGGER OF DESTINY...

BE STABED...

IN THE WOMB OF MY EMISSARY BY PURIFIED HANDS!

So it was said!

So will it be!

Hail the Evil Lord!

Master, the deadline is expiring!

MAY THE BLOOD OF AN INOCENT...

WASH THE BODIES OF THE CHILDREN OF EVIL...

TO CONSUMMATE THEIR EVERLASTING UNION!

MAY HER BELOVED FAMILY...

BE HER OWN EXECUTIONER!

AND EVIL WILL BE ETERNAL!

BRING THE GIRL!

Save me, Mr. Mojica! Save me!

They're hurting me! Daddy! Mommy!

Save me, Mr. Mojica! Save me!

Betinha!

Save me, Mr. Mojica! Save me!

No! Don't do it, daddy!

I believe in God!

Go away, Satan!

It happened what I feared.

Continue your mission!

Whatever will be... WILL BE!

I believe in God! I believe in God!

In the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ,

whom I have as the only savior...

I command you to leave these bodies that do not belong to you!

Go back now to your realms of darkness and pain!

In the name of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!

In the name of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!

In the name of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!

At last...

We're face to face...

But... I... I!!!

I AM STRONGER!

You are my creation!

You can't be stronger than me!

- Are you sure about it? - I AM!

I am...

Bastard... Bastard!!!

It was all I wanted...

And you, Eugenio...

And you too...

Master, I tried!

And whatever will be...

...will be!

And them?

And them?

My God! And them?

This one is for daddy.

No it's not! This one is for mom!

- It's for daddy, Betinha! - It's for mommy!

- Daddy! - Mommy!

- Wait, let me go! - You can't open it now!

- I'll open it! - You can't open now!

Sofia... Call Mr. Mojica in his room.

I'll hold on to the companion of loneliness... Food!

- No, not right now! - Relax, Dad. It's not midnight.

Okay, okay... Let's wait for midnight!

- Mr. Mojica? - Yes?

Mr. �lvaro waits for you.

Just give me a minute.

Yes sir.

- It's midnight! - Merry Christmas, my love!

- It's Christmas! It's Christmas! - Merry Christmas for you too!

- Merry Christmas to all! - Be careful, don't spill it!

- Merry Christmas, grandpa! - Merry Christmas, my daughter.

- Merry Christmas, L�cia! - Merry Christmas, my love!
