Dead of Night (1945)
Dead of Night (1945) is a British horror film in four short stories made by Ealing Studios and directed by Alberto Cavalcanti, Charles Crichton, Basil Dearden and Robert Hamer.
The film stars Mervyn Johns, Googie Withers and Michael Redgrave and it is probably best-remembered for the ventriloquist's dummy episode with Redgrave.
Dead of Night stands out from British film of the 1940s, when few horror films were being produced in the country (horror films had been banned from production in Britain during the war), and it had an influence on subsequent British films in the genre. Both of the segments by John Baines were recycled for later films, and the possessed ventriloquist dummy episode was adapted as the audition episode of th long-running CBS radio series "Escape".
