"There'd been anthology movies before Dead Of Night, and even a couple of silent horror anthologies. But Dead Of Night brought the format to the mainstream. It was a massive hit. And it did so by lulling its audience in a series of increasingly scary vignettes. . Dead Of Night still packs a wallop and sends the shivers right up your back, even almost three-quarters of a century later." - Nerdist Special Features & Technical Specs: 1080p High-definition presentation on Blu-ray NEW Audio Commentary by critic and film historian Pamela Hutchinson NEW Interview with author John LlewellynProbert on the popularity and history of British horror anthologies and Dead of Night NEW Interview with author Dr. David Huckvale on Dead of Night Remembering 'Dead of Night' - documentary Stills Gallery Restoration Comparison Theatrical Trailer Aspect Ratio 1.37:1 Audio English LPCM 2.0 Mono Optional English HOH Subtitles
