Table of Contents
An aristocrat sprints blindly through the foggy wasteland, hunted by something monstrous that leaves giant canine prints near his lifeless body.
Sir Henry steps into the supposedly safe streets of London, only to narrowly avoid a bullet fired from a passing carriage.
Baskerville Hall looms out of the thick moorland fog, guarded by a secretive butler who resents their arrival.
Deep in the night, Watson catches the stern butler holding a single, flickering candle to the window, signaling an unknown entity in the dark.
Out on the desolate moor, Watson draws his revolver on a strange, limping peddler who seems to be tracking their every move.
Staring up at a dusty, centuries-old portrait of a disgraced ancestor, Holmes makes a chilling connection about their charming neighbor.
The thick fog suddenly parts as a massive, half-starved beast erupts from the earth, charging straight for the helpless Sir Henry.
