13 I would like to believe him, but I find it very difficult to do so. There's something about him I cannot help but sense. A kind of fearful tension that... I'm sorry, but an air of definite guilt.
14 No, my dear. Your mother was not tortured to death as you were told. She was tortured, yes... but not to death.
15 Then, on the very eve of our departure... we heard a scream from below, the most hideous, blood-chilling scream I have ever heard in my life.

— Nicholas Medina, Sebastian Medina (Vincent Price)

16 Elizabeth was quite dead. I would stake my reputation on that fact.
17 I watched her drawn to one and then another as if the aura of pain and suffering which surrounded them was luring her to sickness and to death.
18 While we were up here mourning her, she was alive, struggling to be free.

— Nicholas Medina, Sebastian Medina (Vincent Price)

19 Your mother was walled up in her tomb while yet alive.
20 We will exhume Elizabeth.
