The "Night of the Demon" is one of my favorite horror films. It's a great story of skepticism vs. superstition. A professional skeptic, played by Dana Andrews, travels to a conference in England where he is caught in the web of an Aleister Crowley-like magician. A piece of cursed parchment marks Andrews for death, but he remains skeptical to Carswell's power. Will he face the truth in time, and how will he save himself from ... THE DEMON!
This drawing is really a little misleading. The demon isn't really the villain in the film, it's Carswell. But the image of the demon has been a horror icon since the film came out, so I went with it instead of Carswell.
If you haven't seen the film, do yourself a favor and check it out. "Night of the Demon" was the original UK title. It was edited down to 83 minutes for U.S. release under the title "Curse of the Demon."
As a special treat, here's the trailer:
