I want to give you the surprise of your

young life

[Music]

[Music]

hahaha

[Music]

sometimes think perhaps you do too

how outrageous it would have seemed to

anyone a hundred years ago if they have

been told that someday men would be

doing exactly what you're doing now

listening to a voice watching a picture

practice it were out of the air

we've learned a lot in the last hundred

years but how much do you suppose has

been forgotten in the past five thousand

you know how scientists coffered

folklore and ancient beliefs but every

now and then they Amaze themselves with

the discovery that our remote ancestors

were right after all

our third Tale of Terror contains the

echo of an ancient Fable which may not

be a fable at all it begins with a

manhood a search for a murderer

Australia Wrangler if you will we throw

an accordion around the entire area

detectives are watching at local railway

stations and all bus stops you're sure

it's the late and Strangler positive and

we know he's in this area

and the girl is dead inspector

yes she is

strangled just like the others

we don't often get this sort of a

criminal thing heaven but this time we

know who we're after he's a clever devil

but he won't get away from us this time

we have his trademark

black kid love

he left this

at the scene of the crime

my pets amuse you sir

I am an early live one here

I thought they were all alive I

I came in and they were all staring at

me

gave me a bit of a turn for a minute

they are lifelike you know very

I I've never seen figures as as good as

this you must be quite an artist at it

you're really very kind would you like

me to show you around

well if it isn't too much trouble well

not at all it is beyond my usual closing

time if you don't mind I will look up

now we shall not be interrupted not that

it makes much difference not many people

come here especially at night

let us start over here shall we sir

is Rogerson he poisoned his brother his

brother's wife and their seven-year-old

child cyanide of potassium

you can see by his face a selfish cruel

man

yes yes

oh what do you think of this one didn't

he come out well

who is he Nick child shiver Nick they

called him because the knife was his

weapon he was a gypsy Gambler when he

ran out of money he would steal and cut

his victim's throat if he resisted

here's enough to scare the Daylights out

of anybody

all he needs is the knife in his hand oh

thank you for reminding me

you've got wonderful detail in him

you've caught him very well he is very

lifelike you know

oh these are works if I'd no doubt about

it

I like to think so for several years now

I have devoted myself to them until that

time my whole interest was in Grecian

archeology

I will show you one look I think you

will find very interesting now this one

I like very much perhaps best of all he

was a physician and the first man as far

as I know to use air to create an

embolism this is to say he injected air

to kill his victims another murderer

others all matters yes they're all

matters assure his fears and all their

bestiality I show them actually as they

were

do you like pots sir

yes I would very much

only murderers

there are other crimes you know but

surely nothing so wicked as the

deliberate destruction of a human life

yes you're right of course quite right

even though the police are looking for

such a man the Strangler who brutally

murdered his innocent victims of foul

things sir

well I must not bore yourself we were

talking about Dr Hartwell Hartwell

did you say Dr Hartwell yes

I remember the paper saying that he'd

always been careful about his photo

being taken

there were hardly any pictures of him

when he disappeared no I I believe that

was so this looks perfect

I didn't know he'd even been caught

now if you made it up from descriptions

oh no no I didn't pick it up no no no

you got hold of some photos I suppose

well

I am an artist

I have methods of my own

certainly are an artist

this must be a special stone you use

it's very hard and it's

very cold too

there is much color about him is there I

noticed that they all look a bit gray

tell me Mr Milo

is this just a model of Dr Hartwell or

is this the doctor himself

well

yes that is or was

Dr Hartwell

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

I thought you said these were murderers

the police had never caught there was no

legal evidence against them but they

were guilty but what about her

oh it is that is just a touch I thought

the surroundings were appropriate

she was

the Widow Linden

her husband was a butcher most

unpleasant man so she ground him up and

sold him for sausages you kill them

you took it upon yourself to kill them

and petrify them somehow

and then to exhibit them here in this

Frick shop

you're a worse murderer than any of them

I beg you sir you do not understand but

12. you've got it marked on your door

what did you do poison them shoot them

drop them alive in a van Blaster I did

not kill them they wouldn't have killed

themselves but they did

all the same way

how

I could tell you

I don't think you would believe me

have you heard of the gorgon's head the

head of Medusa

Medusa wasn't that a monster of some

sort no no Medusa was a queen she

actually lived

you are like all the rest of them you

believe only what you read in Greek

Legends how how horrible she was how

Perseus

didn't he see her reflection in his

polished shield or something when he

killed her yes because it was death to

look upon her face upon her mask as they

call it

anyone who did that was turned to stone

Medusa was a myth a made-up story just

looking at someone can't petrify your

blood or turn your flesh to Stone you

know that's impossible is it

would you dare to look upon the face of

Medusa

's buried Medusa's head in the

marketplace at Argos in Greece

the ruins of that ancient town are still

there you can see them

I located at Marketplace and dug there I

don't believe you I don't expect you to

believe me but consider this

radium newly discovered invisibly Burns

human flesh from the distance

nobody knows how but it happens

why shouldn't there be similar

substances that draw the life out of our

body and petrify the remains

yeah

is a piece of wood that has been

petrified that has turned to stone

consider Lord's wife

suddenly turned into a pillar of salt

explain to me please

how electrical impulses travel along a

solid wire

travel thousands of miles

instantaneously

nobody knows how these things are done

that is not to say they cannot be done

that they have never been done and never

will be done

all right have it your wrong way but let

me tell you something you wouldn't want

the police dissecting these would you

not if you kill them I did not kill them

they killed themselves

by looking by looking

all right I won't argue with you but you

still don't want the police nosing about

here do you

Mr Milo Mr Milo

welcome back

just a moment

sorry to bother you Mr Miller

researching all the buildings in this

area we're looking for someone sir do

you mind if we come in let's go all

right Grimes

about uh for whom are you looking the

Strangler the Leighton Strangler we know

he's in the area but who is he what does

he look like we don't know that Mr

Miller all we know is that he's a madman

and wears gloves black kid gloves black

kid gloves yes odd little work now isn't

it

very good

very interesting yeah

you um you don't seem to have any

equipment here don't make them on the

premises do you no I don't make them

here

well none of these models seem to be

breathing nobody could be here without

Mr Milo knowing all right then we'll get

along man thank you Mr Milo I've never

seen very many people in and out of your

place Mr Milo but we had to check you

now

uh Mr Milo

uh you don't make much of a living here

do you no but I have a private income I

think I can tell you why you don't have

much of an attraction here all you have

is a gallery of suspects what you really

need are wax figures of genuine

convicted murderers dressed in their own

clothes sort of chamber of Horrors don't

you know that's what the people really

like good night Mr Miller good night sir

foreign

you were hiding from them well I'm in a

little trouble I didn't want to be seen

I don't want to be caught hanging around

here either they might come back

you can help me get away

now you must have a crate or something

you move these models in

now if I was the model in the crate

alive of course

you can hire a van to move it do you see

what I mean tonight

that would cost money I don't know where

well I've got plenty of money now what

it costs 10 pounds 20 pounds

I tell you I've got I've got plenty of

money I got plenty of money

you

you are the man who killed that girl

well that's nothing to what you've been

up to

please ever get on to what's been going

on around here 12 of them right in here

now what about that crate

once I get away I'll be safe and so will

you too

there's no chance that they'll ever find

me I'll tell you that maybe yeah they're

very determined about you

I'll get away all right

if you don't want to help me I'm not

worse off

please have gone now I can try it on my

own they won't catch me

wait

I don't even have to be caught to tip

them off about you either I can send a

message or even telephone

come on now make up your mind one way or

another I have

I didn't want to do this but you force

me

so long as you do it that's all I care

someone around here must have a horse

and Van you don't accept my story about

the Medusa do you you think it is rings

and true you have to be crazy to believe

that

you think that these are or Corpses

that I have treated with plaster I don't

see how they can be anything else

none of them ever believed me

perhaps nobody ever will now listen what

about that crate

I hope to convince you but since I have

failed look you murderer look at the

mask of Medusa
