Would that each section of the anthology were as strong as the flurry of eerie activity that ends the film. The frame tale and the Michael Redgrave section do maintain a consistent creepiness, but the others only really become effective in the context of the end of the film (with the "Golfing" section dragging the most). Good, in parts.

"I wish it were as easy as that. But trying to remember a dream is like, how shall I put it, being out at night in a thunder-storm. There's a flash of lightning and, for one brief moment, everything stands out: vivid and startling."

A British classic of the horror genre. I must admit that I'm quite impervious to British ghost stories, anthology style horror films and ketchup in spaghettis altogether. So, according to me, the best moment of DEAD OF NIGHT is the confrontation between the two golfers, Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne, actors that some of you already appreciated in Alfred Hitchcock's THE LADY VANISHES. Recommended.

A wonderful portmanteau ... really enjoyable, in particular Cavalcanti's ventriloquist tale ..... which still haunts me even now.
