"Dead Of Night" (1945)
Plot: IMDB
Architect Walter Craig, seeking the possibility of some work at a country farmhouse, soon finds himself once again stuck in his recurring nightmare. Dreading the end of the dream that he knows is coming, he must first listen to all the assembled guests' own bizarre tales.
Phantom's review: A true horror classic. This is the way an anthology film should be. a great collection of stories, a little bit of humor, and some genuine chills. Plenty of atmosphere and fine acting all around. "The Haunted Mirror" and "The Dummy" are probably the best of the stories, but their are no real duds here. A fine example of old school British horror.
