Dr. Ian Cuthbert is a curator at the Museum of Natural History. Cuthbert and Frock are colleagues, but when it came time to choose between two new exhibitions, Cuthbert's was chosen based on the fact that it was most likely to bring in large crowds. Cuthbert's exhibition is the Superstition Exhibit, an exhibit based on the religious and spiritual rituals of ancient peoples. It is this exhibition that is set to open the same week a creature begins killing people within the museum. Cuthbert insists the exhibition go on as schedule, however, and he uses his friendship with the director, Wright, to ensure it does. In the end, Cuthbert locks himself in Wright's office at the museum and goes insane when he comes face to face with the creature.
