Phantasmagoria

[in the basement, Adrienne turns the valve on one of the casks to dribble some of its contents on her fingers to taste]

Adrienne Delaney:
Mmmmm. It's good.

[Adrienne is lying down on the bed in Carno's room and being held down by bloody hands]

Adrienne Delaney:
[yells] Don? Don!

[Adrienne touches the mirror to trigger a vision of Carno and his third wife Leonora. Carno has Leonora in a torture device frame with her arms and legs shackled and her head strapped in a 360 degree rotating vice]

Leonora Moody Carnovasch:
[sobbing] Don't hurt me, Zoltan! Don't hurt...

Zoltan 'Carno' Carnovasch:
You never stop talking, do you? Never, never! You just keep going on, and on, and on, AND ON!

Leonora Moody Carnovasch:
[fearfully sobbing] No! No! No! No! Mmmmppphh!

[Carno stuffs a rag in Leonora's mouth]

Leonora Moody Carnovasch:
[suffocated] Mmmmmmphhhh!

[Carno begins to pull on a chain that hangs from the frame which slowly starts to turn Leonora's head. Leonora continues to scream and cry even though her mouth is gagged. Carno momentarily stops and pulls out the gag]

Zoltan 'Carno' Carnovasch:
[teasing] Any last words? No?

[Carno replaces the gag in Leonora's mouth and continues to pull the chain]

Leonora Moody Carnovasch:
MMMMMMMMMPHHHHHH! MMMMMMMMMPHHH! MMPH! MMMMMPHHHH!

[Leonora's head continues to turn until it rotates past her shoulder blades, finally breaking her neck with an audible crunch]

Adrienne Delaney:
GASP!

[Adrienne runs out of the room]

[Adrienne touches the mirror in the dining room which triggers a vision of Carno with his second wife, Victoria. Victoria sits at the dining table, drunk, with a bottle of wine and a half drunk wine glass, when Carno enters and steps behind her]

Victoria Valmont Carnovasch:
Well, well, look who's here! The great Carno!

[Carno begins to stroke Victoria's hair, which Victoria brashly pushes away. Carno roughly stands Victoria up. Victoria grabs her drink and throws the remaining wine in Carno's face]

Victoria Valmont Carnovasch:
Here's to you!

[Carno grabs the back of Victoria's head and slams it down on the neck of the wine bottle, which impales Victoria through the eye, killing her]

Zoltan 'Carno' Carnovasch:
No! Here's to YOU, Victoria!

[Carno momentarily holding up the lifeless body of Victoria by the head, throws her aside, an evil grin spreading across his face]

Adrienne Delaney:
SHHRRRRRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK!

[Adrienne runs out of the room]

[Adrienne is in the greenhouse. She picks up the gardening trowel which triggers a vision of Carno and his first wife Hortencia. Hortencia is humming to herself potting her plants, Carno walks up behind her]

Adrienne Delaney:
Wha?

[Carno begins to kiss the back of Hortencia's neck, then roughly spins her around and tries to kiss her. Hortencia, who has been in depressed mood since Carno killed their baby daughter Sofia, pushes away Carno's embrace]

Hortencia Gomez Carnovasch:
Zoltan! Leave me alone to my plants.

Zoltan 'Carno' Carnovasch:
[hissing] Yeesssss.

[Carno picks up the gardening trowel which has a scoop full of dirt on it and shoves it in Hortencia's mouth, cutting the side of her mouth]

Hortencia Gomez Carnovasch:
MMMMMMMPPPHHHHH!

[Hortencia spits out the dirt and screams]

Hortencia Gomez Carnovasch:
Aaaaaaahhhhhhh! Waaaaahhhh! Ahhh! SHHHRRIIIEEEK! MMMMMMPPHH!

[Carno has thrown Hortencia to the ground, sitting on her chest and begins to shovel mulch into her mouth with the gardening trowel]

Zoltan 'Carno' Carnovasch:
HA HA HA HA HA HA! MMMH HA HA HA HA HA!

[Carno laughs maniacially as he continues to shovel scoop after scoop of mulch into Hortencia's mouth until she suffocates]

Zoltan 'Carno' Carnovasch:
Yes! YOUR PLANTS! YESSSS! THE PLANTS!

Adrienne Delaney:
Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

[Adrienne throws down the trowel and runs out of the greenhouse]

[Adrienne is in the trophy room. She touches the mirror, which triggers a vision of Carno and his fourth wife Regina. Regina is strapped to a reclined wooden chair with a metal funnel bottom in her mouth, struggling to get free]

Regina Puccietti Carnovasch:
Eeeooooo! Eeeooooo!

[We see a plate come into view from a darkened corner being carried by Carno; the plate has all kinds of bloody raw meat. Adrienne watches the scene unfold in horror]

Zoltan 'Carno' Carnovasch:
Tonight, for you a special treat, Regina! I've prepared all of your favorites!

[Carno walks up to the chair holding the tray]

Zoltan 'Carno' Carnovasch:
Mmmmmm! Doesn't this look delicious?

[Regina shakes her head no as much as the strap which pins her head to the chair will allow]

Regina Puccietti Carnovasch:
[groans] Eeeeeeoooo! Ooooohhh! Eeeooooo! Ooohhhh!

Zoltan 'Carno' Carnovasch:
For starters, Giblets! In a rich, red, marinara sauce!

[Carno takes a few stringy, bloody giblets off the tray, drops them into the wide end of the funnel, and uses a large wooden peg to cram them down the funnel. Gurgling, choking sounds resonate from Regina as she is force-fed the bloody meat]

Zoltan 'Carno' Carnovasch:
Mmmmmm!

Adrienne Delaney:
GASSSSPPPPP! MMMMMPHHH!

[Adrienne clamps her hand over her own mouth to muffle a scream and keep her from vomiting]

Zoltan 'Carno' Carnovasch:
Sweet and sour, trepe!

[Carno takes some more bloody meat off the tray and drops it into the open end of the metal funnel, using the large wooden peg to cram it down Regina's throat as Regina, wildly struggling, continues to choke]

Zoltan 'Carno' Carnovasch:
Still hungry?

Adrienne Delaney:
Ah! Gasp!

[Adrienne continues to watch the torture in horror. Carno takes a large of mass bloody meat off the plate and drops it into the funnel]

Zoltan 'Carno' Carnovasch:
Scrambled brains?

[Carno uses the large wooden peg to force the meat down the funnel; we hear Regina choking her final breath as we see her eyes glaze over]

Zoltan 'Carno' Carnovasch:
Ahhh! Yes!

Adrienne Delaney:
Gasp! Gasp!

[Adrienne shakes her head in morbid disbelief, slowly backing away from the mirror]
