It is a film by Jacques Tourneur, was made in the late 1950's in Britain, and is one of the most genuinely frightening movies I've ever seen. It stars Dana Andrews. The film involves Andrews trying to hunt down a guy with the power to raise spirits of evil by the use of old runic charms, self- igniting parchments, etc. The monster, when it is finally seen at the end of the film, is every bit as terrible as anyone could have imagined (the thing has wings, enormous fangs, tears people limb from limb, and looks to be about 40 feet tall!); it is every child's nightmare demon rolled into one. Does anyone out there know the name of the film I'm describing? -- Ken Wolman Bell Communications Research @ Livingston, NJ lcuxc!kenw (201) 740-4565 ". . .
