Just in time for Halloween how about the Noir/Horror movies.

I just watched "Curse of the Demon" from great Noir Director: Jacques Tourneur (Out of the Past)
it is a horror story made in the Noir style with cast Dana Andrews & Peggy Cummins

The restored version is "Curse of the Demon" but was also released under the title "Night of the Demon" in an edited version.

synopsis:
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...

Quotes
Dr. John Holden: Sit down. Your generosity is becoming overwhelming as it gets closer to ten o'clock. You're staying with me, Karswell. You've sold your bill of goods too well, because I believe you now. I believe that in five minutes something monstrous and horrible is going to happen. And when it does, you're going to be here so that whatever happens to me will happen to you.

I saw this as a kid but had little memory of it except for the monster, a really top notch effort.

Time to brake out the Val Lewton movies!
