Dead of Night (1972) DVD9

"Dead of Night" is a legendary horror anthology series. The bad news is that four episodes have not survived their dispatch to the BBC archives after the cost-cutting wiping of used tapes to record new programmes.

After years of unavailability, the three surviving episodes from the legendary BBC horror anthology series, Dead of Night, finally comes to DVD. Originally screened on BBC2 in 1972, and rarely seen since, Dead of Night has been highly sought by fans of the BBC and British Horror for decades.

All episodes are representative of Dead of Night’s uniquely subversive and intelligent take on the horror genre.
