How it scared people
The vibe
Richard Matheson adapted Dennis Wheatley, Christopher Lee finally got to play the hero, and Hammer produced its one genuinely convincing film about the occult. The optical effects have aged badly — the Goat of Mendes is a man in pin-on horns — but the night spent holding still inside a chalk circle while things arrive is a great set piece.
