Dead of Night (1945) starring Mervyn Johns, Sally Ann Howes, Michael Redgrave

Dead of Night is a very interesting anthology of horror stories. An architect arrives at a house, meets a group of strangers … And he knows all of them, from a recurring dream. It turns out that each of them has a story to tell … And the psychiatrist dismisses all of their stories. Finally, there’s an unexpected conclusion, that is quite fitting.

The Uncanny (1977) starring Peter Cushing, Ray Milland, Donald Pleasance, Samatha Eggar

The Uncanny is an anthology movie. Wilbur Gray (Peter Cushing) is an eccentric writer who has written a novel. He’s trying to convince his agent (Ray Milland) to publish his latest, about — cats! He documents his thesis that household cats are intelligent, in control, and murderous when necessary. This serves as the framing device for three horror stories about the murderous cats.
