So, for October, I've decided to take a look at some 'spine chilling' flicks for Silver Screen Sunday. The first is the Ealing Studios 1945 film Dead of Night, which is directed by Alberto Cavalcanti, Charles Crichton, Basil Dearden and Robert Hamer.
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.
This may not sound like a particularly frightening film but it certainly had me on edge! Some of the tales were very spooky - there is one, in particular, with a haunted mirror which got to me as well as a section starring the gorgeous Michael Redgrave as a ventriloquist with a possessed dummy. Creepy! The only thing that made me feel at ease was drooling over the amazing clothes.



I hope you enjoyed this! I have a lot of fun putting these together.
Love,
Andi B. Goode

I do like these – I have only fairly recently got into watching films (short attention span, living near rubbish dvd shops etc being something of a hindrance!) and so tips on ones to watch are always good :)
ReplyDeleteDizzy Dame: Yes, they're the best!
ReplyDeleteJen: That's great - thanks for letting me know =]
Rose: Hehe, I like the older ones best ;]
Esme and the Lane Way: I'm glad you like them! And that they're helping you discover new films to watch. =D
I think the Michael Redgrave and ventriloquists dummy sequence is probably the scariest story ever filmed. And not a drop of blood in sight. I have severe issues with it, but I get to hold my husband's hand:-)
ReplyDeleteGreat post--love the outfit pics! I think I need to watch this movie now :-)
ReplyDeleteMiss Rayne: Aw, you're lucky - I didn't have anyone's hand to hold and I had to hide under my blanket. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteJitterbugdoll: Thanks! =D
I adore this post, what great finds.
ReplyDeleteI think British horror is absolutely amazing I watched many with my grandmother.
Googie Withers should have more adoration really....great post.
AbleGrable: I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've not watched many British horror films but definitely want to watch more. =D
ReplyDeleteSeriously wonderful post! I would adore adding those shoes, sweaters and that a-line skirt to my wardrobe, they all encompass the classic style I love! :)
ReplyDeleteBig hugs!
