One of my favourites as a kid and still stands up well.
Plot: Duc de Richleau (Christopher Lee- Legend) goes to Salisbury to visit the son of a buddy, only to discover he and his female friend have become initiates of a Devil worshipping cult (given that it was set in the 1930's, we can only assume they were at a loose end). Having a touch of experience in this field, Lee and his mate rescue the deluded pair and take them back to a country mansion, with the intent saving their eternal souls. Unfortunately, the young folk have become psychically linked with the head of the occult cult and so begins a night of mental torment for all involved.
Scene of the film: When the Devil, resplendent in all his goat legged glory appears in the heart of a bonfire.
This film is Lee's favourite and even he wants to see it remade.
Fun Fact: Based on the novel by legendary author, Dennis Wheatley and adapted for the screen by I Am Legend (Omega Man) author, Richard Matheson.
