Dead of Night (1945) is one of the ultimate classic British horror films, coming at a time (just after the second world war) when few horror films were being made in this country.

Classic Film & TV Cafe Posted by Rick29 on Aug 26, 2012
Classic television and memorable cars have a long history together. Who can forget My Mother the Car, in which Jerry Van Dyke's mom was reincarnated as--yes--a car (a 1928 Porter voiced by Ann Sothern)?
