Episode 94: Night of the Demon + Night of the Demon

Creepy Spooky Month continues with a double shot of two very different demons. Sammy stops by to discuss Jacques Tourneur's classic MR James adaptation, Night of the Demon (1957), and also its namesake, the infamous video nasty Night of the Demon (1980), directed by Jim West. A cerebral meditation upon the English Eerie with a big-ass honest-to-God demon paired with a psychotronic gorefest about Bigfoot - the names may be the same, but the films couldn't be more different! But to us, they're both classics. We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for Night of the Demon '57 by skipping ahead to the 1:38:21 mark, and for Night of the Demon '80 by skipping ahead to 2:35:28.
