Re 'Dead of Night', I agree with what's been said - and what about the ending of the film too? Stunning when you see it the first time. I would also like to mention 'Night of the Demon' (1957). The demon itself looks a little dated by today's standards, although adequately scary, but the build-up of tension throughout the film is what makes it for me. A great performance by Niall MacGinnis as the sorcerer - urbane but sinister . Based on a classic M.R James story, of course, involving a demon being set on to whoever possesses a piece of paper with a runic inscription. The scene on the train with the hero attempting to return the paper to the sorcerer so that the demon will get HIM instead is worthy of Alfred Hitchcock.
