Re: I Just Watched...
One of my other favorite scenes in Night of the Demon features one of my favorite British actresses: Athene Seyler, who plays the villain's mother. I love the seance scene, with the song "Cherry Ripe." My only problem with that scene is that Dana Andrews is too much the sceptic. In almost...
