'Devil Doll' is certainly worth a look, but maybe not for £25. I caught it on TV some years ago. Apparently, credited director Lindsay Shonteff received a lot of help from Sidney Furie. Given the dubious quality of Shonteff's other work, I can well believe this. While Furie has his share of howling dogs, he certainly knew how to make a movie.

Hi i have all 3 episodes from Dead Of Night and all are in excellent quality Exorcism just cuts short by a few frames at the end missing the BBC logo found on the poor copies. Exorcism is one of the finest pieces of Supernatural tv ever made in my humble opinion. much of my archive can be found here www.ghoststoryforchristmas.co.uk |

Who let the bootleggers in (ones who bootleg for profit - not Robin Hood style)? Maybe the BBC staff will stop posting if you attract unsavory characters!

Take it from me all his copies are nigh-unwatchable he must use a ZX81 to author the discs judging by the state of them. They make good coasters though!

is "the dummy" , episode of 1976 series beasts a remake of this segment in the film? Like you Steve, I hadn't heard of the series title though I recalled two from the time (woman sobbing; which I confused due to some similarities with 'boys and girls come out to play'. The other one was 'the exorcism but the Xmas repeat without 'Dead of night' title). The first I recall the Ealing film compendium 'Dead of night' being on was Xmas 1970. On the type of topic you raise, the segment 'the uninvited' bears resemblence to some elements used by Michael J. Bird (including the title) for the episode of that name in 'Out of the unknown' which I recall well. The 'Dead of night' film sequence was based on a story by 'The birds' author Daphne Du Maurier. It featured a couple including Googie Withers who buy a second hand mirror which has recorded horrific events from its own past which the new purchaser sees. In the 'Out of the unknown', a couple move into a new house. During a housewarming party, the male turns to a mirror on the wall which shows a different room, from a time in which a horrific murder took place. So I'd say theres a potential influence on one BBC umbrella series play of the period. |
