DEAD OF NIGHT Dan Curtis’ tales of terror – free online on YouTube [1440p HD]

Dead of Night is a 1977 made-for-television anthology fantasy horror film that presents three tales of mystery, imagination and terror.

The movie was directed by Dan Curtis (Burnt Offerings; Dark Shadows; The Norliss Tapes; Trilogy of Terror). It originally premiered on NBC on March 29, 1977.
