Dead of Night (1945)

Favorite Movie Quote: "And I know that there's something waiting for me on the other side of the mirror. Something evil. Monstrously evil. And if I cross that dividing line, something awful will happen."
Five different ghost stories in this anthology with different writers and directors tied to an architect (Mervyn Johns) who is plagued by recurring dreams.
The scare factor varies with each segment, but the Ventriloquist's Dummy segment in which Michael Redgrave's wild-eyed ventriloquist performs with a demonic puppet that's out to get him, makes this film worth the time. Influencing everything from Anthony Hopkins in Magic to the Child's Play series, it's a venerable little chiller that hasn't lost a scrap of its hair-raising power over the last 60 years.
Fascinating.
