: I am trying to find a story I had once heard as a child and trying to find the origins of the story.
: I believe it went like something this:
: 7 demons who'd come dressed as 'gentlemen' in silence and steal one's voice in order to take an organ and to defeat them one has to scream.(?)
: I have been told it may have been called, "The Gentlemen" although I have found no reference to the title.
: I believe this story was remade in an episode of a television show, although I'm not sure which one.
: Can anybody help?
: Well in the Buffy the vampire Slayer episode of it, the story plot of the show went like this:
: 7 'gentlemen' are staying in town and they steal everyone's voice so that they can't scream (as the poem says). When everyone is silent, these demon men go out into the town and take people's hearts for the organ they need. It is said that the one who screams will be a princess but I think those details changed. One girl, Buffy, gets her voice back after confronting the 'gentlemen' and screams and that ends the story.
: Hope this helps a little.
