Dr George Maylin,the 81-year-old scientist with tidy white hair pulled open the vault-like door to his freezer and revealed floor-to-ceiling rows of preserved samples — over 500 vials of blood and urine in clear tubes the length of a finger. Each was drawn from a racehorse and has been set aside because it contains a peculiar, as-yet-unknown substance. Maylin is working and waiting for the day when he has the right test or technology to identify each one.
“Some samples are 10 years old,” he said, closing the door and plunging the mystery samples back into darkness. He’ll keep them until he runs out of space.

That would be a good lead-in to a horror movie.
