  I am a voice that no man on earth has ever heard before. I
• 0:12
  am not of this world, but no man hearing my voice knows whether I
• 0:22
  truly live, or whether I am a thing of the imagination, a thing
• 0:29
  of dreams. You will hear my story in a moment on you thows and
• 0:40
  plus listen thousand us Adventures in the World of Tomorrow. Framatic stories of science
• 1:11
  fiction from the years beyond two thousand AD. Today, the story of a
• 1:27
  horrible nightmail It wouldn't stop even when the dreamer woke up. A story called
• 1:34
  a green Thing. It is the year two thousand plus one seventy five.
• 1:55
  It is late evenings, and all is peaceful and quiet in doctor Harvey Clendon's
• 1:59
  Sentarian Outside, on the vast estate that stretches away from the main buildings,
• 2:06
  there are only the soft country noises, the wind sighing in the trees,
• 2:10
  the shrill trippings of innumerable crickets. In the world furnished rooms, the patients
• 2:16
  sleep stretched out on comfortable mephaces and clean white sheets. The country brings us
• 2:23
  springing over their forms. In room thirty two feet, Missus Summers sleeps peacefully
• 2:30
  with his head on a fluffy pillow, he sleeps, and he dreams comping
• 2:38
  company. Way. So, in the light of the growing psychological problems facing
• 2:50
  our nation, the government has sent me to you, doctor Glendon, to
• 2:53
  unless your age, since you're the country's outstanding psychiatrists. While I'm on it,
• 2:58
  Indeed, mister Carling, that as much I can tell you about the
• 3:00
  advancement of psychiatric research, it isn't being published in the medical journalism. Well,
• 3:06
  doctor Glendon, isn't there anything that you're working on now? Something definite?
• 3:12
  I know you're a cautious scholar, but at mister Colie, it isn't
• 3:15
  possible to announce sweeping new generalizations in our kind of science. I worked as
• 3:21
  painstaking, complex, highly subjective. It's like the case of one of the
• 3:24
  patients here in the sanitarium. Oh, buddy, did you bring our records
• 3:29
  to mister Summers. Summons is about forty forty one. He was admitted five
• 3:34
  months ago suffering from a melancholia here. Oh, thanks very How as you
• 3:38
  can see from these notations, he's been feeling much better the past few weeks.
• 3:45
  Yes, let me see, until last night when he suddenly woke up
• 3:49
  screaming in his bed. He was being attacked, he shouted by some sort
• 3:52
  of green devil. We had this jeb getting him under control. Now,
• 3:57
  in the past, Somers had spoken quite often of a green hat that he
• 4:00
  lost as a child. His father, he remembered that punished him severely for
• 4:03
  losing it, and later on Glendon, this is all very interesting, but
• 4:09
  you can hardly call this dream analysis anything new. Yes, it has been
• 4:13
  known for centuries. Well, and I don't understand, mister Colling. I
• 4:17
  know why you came to see me. Apparently I haven't been able to keep
• 4:21
  my achievement as secret as I hope. That's rights it. We've heard rumors
• 4:28
  all, mister Colling. I've said that mister Summer's dream is very unusual.
• 4:32
  How would you like to see it? I mean, see his dream exactly.
• 4:39
  I'm going to show you a motion picture of mister Sommer's dreams, photograph
• 4:44
  from the subconscious mind, exactly as he dreamed. I've had special note electrodes.
• 5:00
  In these electrodes pick up the current impulses of the brains. Then these
• 5:04
  impulses are transmuted back into pictures on the film of the machine. Really very
• 5:10
  similar to the method of wireless photography. Mister Summer's dream deal dot too.
• 5:14
  Oh fine, thank you, Reddy. The projector tube is ready, so
• 5:17
  I just placed the dream reel with it, and hold only your hat.
• 5:25
  Mister Darling, you're going to see an actual dream. Yes, yes,
• 5:33
  very well, mister Klapper. Three slices of lemon drops will do. He
• 5:39
  thinks. I don't see him putting the pennies in his pocket when he knows
• 5:43
  they belong to me. Three slices of lemon drops. It is little point.
• 5:47
  I'm not a little boy, Klapper, and you know it. I'm
• 5:49
  all grown up and I don't come to your store anymore. I don't even
• 5:54
  live here anymore. And you steal pennies, all right, No, I
• 5:58
  get out knocking the boy take your lemondre can get out belt music. I
• 6:04
  didn't know Clover had music in his store. I don't like his music.
• 6:08
  I'll slam his door. I'll go out in the street. Now there won't
• 6:15
  be any more penny stealing music. But what's that? It won't go away?
• 6:23
  It won't go away, Summers. I am calling you. What's that,
• 6:30
  Clover? It's it's greety. It's a monster with great pink eyes on
• 6:36
  long stalks. It's standing in front of me. It has claws. You're
• 6:43
  not the little boy anymore, Summers. Oh no no, don't touch me
• 6:46
  with your clothes. Come with me now, Summers your mine. You belong
• 6:54
  to me. Oh no, no, you're touching me. Don't nor help
• 7:00
  me, help me please. But you got to him at that moment,
• 7:08
  the dream machine shut off. Shoot some dream. What effect will the discovery
• 7:13
  of this dream machine have on psychiatric research, doctor Glenton? Well, I've
• 7:16
  only just perfected it about four or five months ago. Dot reaps forty or
• 7:20
  fifty photographed dreams in that files. Forty or fifty. Yeah, However,
• 7:26
  as far as developing new techniques and treatment, maybe years before I can get
• 7:30
  them analyzed and correlated so that overall theories can be drawn from them. As
• 7:32
  long as that So all you understand, mister Carling, why it's a little
• 7:36
  difficult for me to answer your questions. That dream was fascinating. I've never
• 7:42
  seen anything like it, a doctor. I know I'm presuming on your time,
• 7:46
  but I like to see just one more I'll have to report on the
• 7:49
  at the government bureau. Well, only one more, though, I'm sorry,
• 7:53
  but I'm quite busy. What about this one? Here? The purple
• 7:56
  tag. What's that for? I seen that one myself. Yet purple tag
• 8:03
  means it's from the violent word. Mister m sick man. I will try
• 8:09
  it. Oh, set, Why how do you do? Missus? Camp
• 8:24
  For I'm climbing the wall and it's only to us? How warm me?
• 8:31
  I don't know much, gibberd. Rob's a difficult case. Homicidal tendencies comes
• 8:45
  from a good family. For a very successful businessman, can you do anything
• 8:52
  for him? Oh? I think so at times when he can be reached
• 8:56
  lucid moments and some of his dreams for very clue for that. You're not
• 9:09
  frightening me. You can't scare me. Don't touch me your claws, doctor,
• 9:20
  Look on the screen. Look there it is again, that cream thing.
• 9:24
  No, it's impossible. Two people can't possibly have the same dream.
• 9:43
  I don't understand it, Betty, I can't understand it. I've been through
• 9:46
  all the records above them, Summers and Rob. There's nothing in the back,
• 9:48
  brother, but cause them to have the same dream. Are you sure
• 9:52
  they haven't been together? But some time? I'm positive, jos if they
• 9:54
  haven't even met. Mister Ralph came here only a month ago, and he
• 9:58
  was pasting the violent water me. He's never been out of it. It's
• 10:01
  possible for people to have similar dreams, yes, but never the dream of
• 10:05
  the same, unusual, horrible, specific subject is that that green thing.
• 10:09
  Every detail was the same, the pink eyes, the claws makes me shudder
• 10:15
  myself. Betty. I want our dream reels, all those I haven't seen.
• 10:18
  Oh no, you're not going to view them all if it take you.
• 10:20
  I don't care how long it takes. I want to see them all.
• 10:24
  I've got a funny feeling inside, and I won't be at ease until
• 10:28
  I know, until I'm sure, sure, sure, that none of the
• 10:33
  other patients have had that dream, that same horrible dream of that green thing.
• 10:43
  Really nine, missus Jarvin Sill, I put the sound on. Oh
• 10:46
  no, not necessary. We can see them. It appears. No nothing
• 10:52
  here. Same ten, that's Fonnham. No nothing. I don't think we'll
• 11:01
  find anything. Doctor, must have been a freak, a coincidence. Keep
• 11:05
  going, Keep going. Dream eleven, mister Cray. Dream twenty one,
• 11:16
  nothing there either. Dream twenty two. Huh, Maybe you'll right, Betty.
• 11:24
  I'm beginning to thank myself to Glendon, Doctor Glenham. Not there it
• 11:28
  is a greaen thing dream forty two. Mister Bradley, head up the let
• 11:39
  it up. That's it again, a green thing, poor album, karling
• 11:50
  horror dreams of that monstrous green thing, each one for a different patient,
• 11:54
  and each one during the past week. Telling there's something there, something to
• 11:58
  make even a psychiatrist people fighting. Tell the patients weren't having a dream.
• 12:15
  They couldn't be. They had nothing in common. But the fact that they're
• 12:18
  in this sanitarium. Why even the nature of their illnesses are different right there?
• 12:24
  Aren't you getting a little mixed up yourself? Uh? You saw those
• 12:28
  dreams. I saw them, They saw them. I know. It's incredible.
• 12:33
  Listen, to have a dream means that you create that dream, you
• 12:35
  and nobody else. You mean you think the patients didn't create those dreams.
• 12:41
  They're not their dreams. There is such a thing as God's projection, mental
• 12:48
  telepathy. Yeah, why should anyone want? One may have found out about
• 12:52
  the dream she maybe jealousy or grudge, or a hatred of psychiatry in general.
• 12:58
  There many reasons. What we've got to do is to find out where
• 13:01
  it's coming from. The patients must be protected. How First, we've got
• 13:07
  to find out whether this telepathy is coming from inside or outside the sanitarium,
• 13:11
  and we've got to track it down. I tell you, darling, whoever's
• 13:16
  trying this terror by mental telepathy isn't going to get away with it. I'm
• 13:20
  not going to stand by while a lifetime's work is destroyed by a campaign of
• 13:24
  terror against my patients. Going to institute protective measures at once, anything yet
• 13:39
  got to I still have a Garden's dream beamed on the area directly around the
• 13:45
  main building. I don't expect to find any in so close, but I
• 13:50
  want to search every into the grounds. I still feel whoever it is is
• 13:54
  on the grounds can't be sure of anything except that I'm convinced that the staff
• 13:58
  is loyal, and I have a hunch that whoever is transmitting these park waves
• 14:03
  or want to be close enough to judge the results. IM take it down
• 14:07
  now, doctor, Oh yes, Betty, go get them when you please.
• 14:11
  That's possible that they may be able to help us. They may have
• 14:13
  felt current seminating from a certain direction. M I think the Dardis screen has
• 14:20
  reached its range. Lemmit, doctor, it's repeating itself, all right,
• 14:24
  I'll give it wider focus going into the grounds. Now, wait, here's
• 14:33
  something I figure on the screen. Yeah, I see him a club stick
• 14:39
  or something. Who is this actor? Can you tell? I don't want
• 14:43
  to align him. I'll signal the patrol cars. But me that red button
• 14:46
  on the wall, isn't it? Oh? No, calling have a line.
• 14:52
  That is one of the patrol corps. I can see his arm.
• 14:54
  Bad, bad, I'll switch the machine to the north tran. There's another
• 15:03
  figure. Let me well, he seemed to be all guarded. Another member
• 15:09
  of the patroal corps. Well, that's hope. The patients will be able
• 15:13
  to hear Betty. Doctors so well, very well? The patient gone,
• 15:20
  doctor? What did he appear? And the six patients has just begun screaming
• 15:24
  in his room, the green thing, the green thing. Fifty four all
• 15:35
  accounted for doctors before that. A missing would make sixty eight. That's how
• 15:39
  many patients we had. I checked the nurses eight besides Betty. They're all
• 15:43
  here and the patrol corp have checked the rest of the staff and no one
• 15:46
  has left the grounds except the four patients, unless somebody got in and carried
• 15:50
  them off. Now, no, no jetmobiles and no jet ships have been
• 15:54
  in the vicinity between the time the patients were last reported and now the patrol
• 15:58
  core about for that is the village Wnnfield. Oh, it's the only village
• 16:03
  for one hundred miles, but it's a backwoods country village at quaint place,
• 16:07
  never kept up the times. I doubt that they have any jetmobiles in Linfield,
• 16:11
  much love jetship as you can't arrange for transportation there, can't you the
• 16:17
  right that's where they go. Why didn't I think of that before? It's
• 16:21
  the center of the village, the gossip spot, if the patient centered town
• 16:23
  at all, news of them, which frederallyan. But you take charge here
• 16:26
  calling and I are going to Winfield. How long will you be gone,
• 16:29
  doctor, until we find them they're no longer alive. Sure, I can't
• 16:48
  help you, know, I'm doctor. You ain't seen no strangers, spoke
• 16:52
  to no strangers. You're learning those strangers. Allow about transportation, jetmobiles,
• 16:56
  the jet ships, including any calls for you bluebill service going younger. Two
• 17:02
  months not since Miss Jennings busted her leg and we had descended to the hospital
• 17:07
  in the city jet ships last time one of them flaming marsters landed here.
• 17:15
  We nearly had a hide and then filled durn fools off? What was in
• 17:19
  bas you from Mars run a wild goose chase? That's so insane? Well
• 17:25
  thanks, Hony, How mister Barker you've been very hard parts, he says,
• 17:30
  I flasted it. You believes in the hall? I do right too.

• 18:07
  wasn't listening very carefully. But if it's ghost you're talking about, there's never
• 18:11
  been any scientific evidence that they exist. Arts don't exist. That's what you're
• 18:15
  time to say it, don that's right. Oh, come on, Colin,
• 18:18
  let's get out of here. Hey, hey, no ghost. This

  Carling's the only one with a brush tremble down in front of it. Here
• 19:22

  No, no, no, there's nothing there. You're on the floor
• 19:57
  of the cave, but there's no one near you, nothing where. He
• 20:03
  is asleep. He's having the dream. That's same dream. Come on,

• 21:03
  wake up. I'm going awake up. I'm going to wake up. I
• 21:12
  did I'm awake. I conquered the greensing? Did you did you conquer me?
• 21:23
  Doctor Glendon? I can't be standing over me. The pink eyes are
• 21:32
  long stops, the close the creaing A ride in here, doctor Glendon,
• 21:56
  into this rough chamber, and you, mister Carling, don't worry. You
• 22:03
  won't fall. My will is controlling you, my patience over I had a
• 22:12
  corner. Well, Bradley, Summer's gone. I wouldn't you come to them
• 22:18
  Summer? Say all right, Bradley, this is doctor glennar your doctor.
• 22:26
  What's the matter, god man, Bradley. Nothing is the matter with them.
• 22:33
  They just don't understand you anymore. They are attuned only to Venuesian thought
• 22:42
  wave allusions. Yours come the sign of move Venus. That is right,
• 22:56
  for a long time. We have been observing your earth, your resources,
• 23:03
  and your remarkable technology, but we did not know how to conquer you.
• 23:11
  For we of Venus have no strength or physical dexterity, only mental power.
• 23:19
  I shouldn't tell me that think that horrible body of yours to a puppy great
• 23:25
  mash you hit only air? Didn't you think? I'm growing tired of this
• 23:34
  game? Stop? I will that your arms obey me and not you.
• 23:42
  I can't love them. How are your body? Do not be foolish again,
• 23:48
  and I will return the motion. So hypnotize my patience the same way,
• 23:59
  didn't you? And always dreams a little more complicated than what you Earthlings
• 24:06
  call hypnosis, but it is mind control. I have come to Earth to
• 24:14
  prove to my planet that this is the way to conquer your Earth. We
• 24:21
  will control the minds of its inhabitants and thereby control their strength their physical dexterity.
• 24:33
  I began on your patients first, because their minds are more easily controlled.
• 24:41
  What do you want to their bodies? They can perform physical acts that
• 24:48
  I cannot with their bodies. Weave innusions can continue our investigation of your planet
• 24:59
  at close ray Inge and we can also study the structure of the earthling when
• 25:06
  I bring them back with me, bring them back the Venus. Do not
• 25:12
  worry, my dear doctor. I shall not separate them from you. I
• 25:18
  will also take you and your companion with me to Venus as rare prizes hurtling
• 25:29
  buying these two men, don't you and your friend with your duckt no,
• 25:34
  let me go. You shock you shock them up? Maybe didn't know the
• 25:44
  earth makes that weapons too, got why don't before he is still spending?
• 25:48
  Did you really think you could hurt me with that? Your death phrase have
• 25:56
  no effect on my body. Drop your weapon find the men. You cannot,
• 26:11
  but if you could, I would not care. There are millions more
• 26:15
  to choose from. You can kill your souls too. You are replaceable except
• 26:23
  to your souls. You are trapped. Your only escape is the crumbling explosion
• 26:38
  of your rank on calling losing the rocks. It's the case, and we'll
• 26:41
  be buried. Alion climb not the patience before the queens begin. They can
• 26:48
  if only ten uh yeah, let's come out the kidney dock here utch,
• 27:07
  watch the pollen here too. There's one thing when justice the mouth you move
• 27:11
  that when I think we can make it, alright, help me doctor,
• 27:14
  I've got the patients too, all right, come on here, why I'm
• 27:26
  squeeze, So now you go plast pull the patience after you. All right,
• 27:33

• 28:29
  goodness it was that. But as it collapsed, the entire cave fell in
• 28:52
  just in time, yes, cutting in time to save Earth from the horror
• 28:57
