No Picture kenzie Professional Badass	#1 by kenzie at Feb 12, 1977 at 7:38 PM EST
	I cant believe this is the fist comment, this songs great

No Picture Dark Lead Player	#2 by Dark Avenger at Jan 11, 2003 at 3:00 AM EST
	Pretty self-explanitory, the second night that Jonathan and Miriam are in the mansion, Count de la Fey (or The Family Ghost), appears and leads Jonathan into the crypts below the house to show the grave of Abigail to him. He then tells Jonathan that the spirit of Abigail is living in Miriam and the only way to stop it is to kill her. On a side note, the video to this song is one of the cheesiest clips I've ever seen.... It rules!
