Scruples, Enigma Style

Sep 20 03:38 UTC 1994

    You have been visiting a friend at her house fairly frequently.
    Every time you are there, you hear faint moans and screams
    coming from the basement.  When you ask about them, your
    friend explains that her hermit brother lives in the basement,
    never leaves, is addicted to horror movies that he plays on
    his VCR day and night, and that what you hear are the sound-
    tracks of the movies.

    You suggest to your friend that you might like to meet her
    brother.  She says that wouldn't be a good idea, that he is
    traumatized by strangers.  When you surreptitously try the
    basement door when your friend is elsewhere in the house,
    you find that it's locked.  The sounds from the basement
    seem "live", not recorded.

    What do you do?
