It’s in the trees, it’s coming! Not The Devil Rides Out (as I mistakenly announced at the last film night) but for April we turn to a folk horror classic from 1957: Night of the Demon, sampled by Kate Bush and adapted from the MR James story, Casting the Runes. American professor John Holden (Dana Andrews) arrives in London for a conference on parapsychology only to discover that the colleague he was supposed to meet was killed in a freak accident the day before. It turns out that the deceased had been investigating a cult lead by Dr. Julian Karswell (Niall MacGinnis). Though a skeptic, Holden is suspicious of the devil-worshiping Karswell. Following a trail of mysterious manuscripts, Holden enters a world that makes him question his faith in science. Night of the Demon has a great cast, moves a fast pace, is full of atmosphere and has plenty of folk horror tropes from a scene at Stone Henge to cults, curses and paganism!
