Mrs.Voorhees (Betsy Palmer) introduced herself as "an old friend of the Christys." Hysterical, Alice told her about the multiple murders: "It""s been such a nightmare," as Mrs.Voorhees tried to calm her: "I""ll take care of you." When Alice cautioned: "They""ll kill you too," the woman responded: "I""m not afraid." However, she gasped at the sight of Brenda""s body:"Oh, my Lord.So young, so pretty.What monster could""ve done this?..Oh, God.This place! Steve should never have opened this place again.There""s been too much trouble here."She then described, in a rambling, self-reflective one, about the murderous history of Camp Crystal Lake:"Did you know that a young boy drowned he year before those two others were killed? The counselors weren""t paying any attention.I never realized what a terrible mistake I made when I left him.I, I thought then that I had to keep my promise to you after all you""d done for me.I tried to forget him.I tried o put him out of my mind, but was never able to.And now, onight, I realize that I love you more than anything else in life, and I can""t go on living without him." His match ignites in front of her and he accepts her dare: "Is that a dare?...All right.I""ll take it.You know, I like good stuff.Maybe his is my lucky day."Wally drives both of them to the beach house - at the door, he pauses nervously: "How about your husband? Is he, uh, being broad-minded all of a sudden?" She confidently recognizes his smooth-talking demeanor: "You can talk your way out of anything, can""t you?" As they enter the dimly-lit interior and proceed down a spiral staircase to the den/bar area, Mildred turns on a few of the lights and avoids the living room where her husband Monte Beragon""s body is sprawled on the floor.With Harry""s presence to entice him (as his prospective "crowning jewel" in his collection of star students), Slughorn was persuaded to return to the school as Potions Professor.
