I am trying to remember the name of a film that used to be
broadcast quite frequently on Channel 9 (New York) on Saturday
mornings years ago.  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?
