Dead of Night, British horror anthology film, released in 1945, that is considered a classic of the genre. Of the movie’s five segments, arguably the most notable is the episode featuring a tormented ventriloquist.
Dead of Night opens with architect Walter Craig (played by Mervyn Johns) being summoned to a country house on the pretense of acquiring work. Once there he meets several guests, all of whom are familiar to him because of their strange appearance in a recurring dream he has experienced. Each guest then entertains the group with a tale about an uncanny or inexplicable event in his or her life, setting the stage for each of the segments within the movie. Tales of ghostly encounters and strange premonitions of death then follow, with the last segment featuring an unstable ventriloquist (Michael Redgrave) who thinks his dummy is alive.
