Night Of The Demon ( 1957) AKA
Curse of the Demon (USA) (recut version)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050766/
"Dr. John Holden ventures to London to attend a paranormal psychology symposium with the intention to expose devil cult leader, Julian Karswell. Holden is a skeptic and does not believe in Karswell's power. Nonetheless, he accepts an invitation to stay at Karswell's estate, along with Joanna Harrington, niece of Holden's confidant who was electrocuted in a bizarre automobile accident. Karswell secretly slips a parchment into Holden's papers that might possibly be a death curse. Recurring strange events finally strike fear into Holden, who believes that his only hope is to pass the parchment back to Karswell to break the demonic curse."
With the the classic"It's in the trees! It's coming!" line.However it seems that ( at the moment) it's only available on region 1 DVD.Anyone seen it?

Dana Andrews was one of my favorite actors back in the day.
I haven't seen this one either. |

I've seen pictures of that one in movie horror books at the library. A very old one. There's one that I remember when I was a kid. It was set during the early 1900's in London. They were digging tunnels and unearthed some type of demons that looked like giant locusts. They had to kill the demons by moving this earth mover with a crane at this apparition that was hovering over the city because demons can't stand iron. This movie must have been made during the early 60's. It was scary for a kid if you didn't care for bugs all that much .  |

That would be Quatermass and the Pit ( 1967)
"Workers excavating at an underground station in London uncover the skeletal remains of ancient apes with large skulls. Further digging reveals what is at first believed to be an unexploded German bomb from World War II. Missile expert Colonel Breen is brought in to investigate, accompanied by Professor Bernard Quartermass. When the interior of the "missile" is exposed, a dead locust-like creature that resembles the devil is found. It is determined by Quartermass that these "locusts" are evil Martians who altered the brains of our simian ancestors to eventually lay claim to the Earth. When Quartermass's suspicion that the missile can reactivate the dormant evil in humans is confirmed, all hell breaks loose"

| Hey, I just noticed the tv icon. I wish I had spotted it earlier so as to enhance my lackluster typography with dynamic graphic content . |
