Dead of Night (1945) is a groundbreaking British anthology horror film from Ealing Studios, interweaving chilling supernatural tales with a framing story of déjà vu and psychological dread. From haunted mirrors to the infamous ventriloquist dummy segment, this classic defined the anthology horror tradition and remains a cornerstone of Gothic British cinema.

When Walter Craig (Mervyn Johns) visits a country house, he finds himself trapped in his recurring nightmare that involves the manors guests sharing their experiences with the supernatural. With each bizarre tale told, whether it be about a haunted mirror or a ventriloquist tormented by his dummy, Craig hurtles closer and closer to the nightmares end, where he knows something awful will happen…

A portmanteau work from four of Ealing Studios best directors and starring Michael Redgrave, Googie Withers and Mervyn Johns, Dead of Night is rightly held up as one of the finest horror films ever made.
