The old witch had become so real to him father, I
was afraid she might appear to me. It got worse as
May Eve approached, and our superstitious neighbors
worried about Walter's strange behavior. He was
sleepwalking, and there were screams at night, and
that strange light that glowed from beneath his door.
FATHER IWANICKI
You saw a light?
ELWOOD
Not just me. We all saw it… a weird violet color.
FATHER IWANICKI
In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti
FATHER IWANICKI + MONKS
Throughout the ages
Virtuous sages
Spoke of a violet light
Waxing primeval
Causing upheaval
Come every Walpurgis Night
ELWOOD
Our neighbor, Desrochers, woke me. He had heard
stranger than usual thumping coming from Walter's
room up above. I lit a candle, and we climbed the stairs
following the eerie noises. We found Mr. Mazurewicz
already listening outside Walter's door.
MAZUREWICZ
In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti!
MAZUREWICZ + ELWOOD
Cracks ‘round his doorway
MAZUREWICZ + DESROCHERS
Fatefully glowing
MAZUREWICZ +
DESROCHERS + ELWOOD
Dreadful footsteps amplify
MAZUREWICZ
Ominous talkin'
DESROCHERS
Somnolent walkin'
FATHER IWANICKI + ELWOOD +
MAZUREWICZ + DESROCHERS
There is a Devil inside
My God!
ELWOOD
There was something… a presence not of this world
on the other side of that door, Father. We didn't know
what to do! Mazurewicz handed me a crucifix and
prayed the rosary. His hands were shaking. Desrochers
peeked through the keyhole and it was as if that
strange violet light had burned his eye, for he fell back
in utter terror!
FATHER IWANICKI
Did you enter the room, my son?
ELWOOD
By the power of God…
ELWOOD + DESROCHERS
…thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander
through the world for the ruin of…
DESROCHERS + MAZUREWICZ
Souls!
ELWOOD
A thing inside his room, we all saw it! A hideous
creature like a huge rat, but with the face of a man.
Walter's nightmares had somehow become real!
BROWN JENKIN
Mankind fails to see the truth
Your faith poorly misconceived
Dare you step into the violet light
You'll see that you've been deceived
