2.20am, Night of the Demon, BBC2
Here’s one to add to you British chiller collection – director Jacques Tourneur’s fear-inducing 1957 classic in which a supernatural demon is summoned by a professor of the occult and causes all manner of strife for Dana Andrews (he of Laura fame). If you remember the Rocky Horror Picture Show theme tune, then the line that goes ‘Dana Andrews said prunes gave him the runes’ is a reference to this all-time great.

Here’s the US trailer, which was re-titled Curse of the Demon.
