Dead Of Night

Dark Shadows maven Dan Curtis teamed back up with his Trilogy of Terror collaborator, horror and sci-fi legend Richard Matheson, to create this follow-up anthology film. In three segments — one of which starred Ed Begley Jr. in one of his earliest leading roles — viewers hitch a ride in a magical time-traveling car, witness a very unusual vampire attack, and meet a brat who redefines the concept of “mommy issues.” That final segment, “Bobby,” was remade in 1996 for Trilogy of Terror II, which also recycled the famous “He Who Kills” segment from the original Trilogy of Terror. Trilogy of Terror II was Curtis’ final screenwriting gig; he died in 2006, at the age of 78.
