A Halloween must is “Curse of the Demon” (1957) in 96 minute format. Directed by Jacques Tourneur. With Dana Andrews. The demon is tremendous.

CURSE OF THE DEMON is an all-time banger. But the longer, 96-minute British cut is actually called NIGHT OF THE DEMON. CURSE OF THE DEMON was the title of the 82-minute American cut.
