Dead of Night

After the first two films we felt slightly unsatisfied, like we hadn't had a good enough Halloween experience.

Funny to see part of the first Amicus portmanteau film Dr Terror's House of Horrors the other day and realise they all came from this. (Well, could argue Flesh and Fantasy is an earlier portmanteau film of the supernatural, and there's apparently a German twenties one as well..)

"May the Lord have mercy on your handicap!"

The best horror films have the best music (The Shining, Halloween, Psycho, Suspiria) and this one is no exception, with Auric's brooding and malevolent score one of his finest and weirdest.
