Curse of the Demon (1957) - Pretty Good. Director Jacques Tourneur was smart and was like "Let's not actually show the Demon monster, it's 1957, it's going to look like shit". But the studio went ahead and added footage without him knowing, and it was a big rubber demon monster, whatever. Cool sequence where the monster is just a plume of smoke and his footprints just appear in the ground... looked kind of Lynchian. Kate Bush sampled this movie on "Hounds of Love" tell your friends.
Dead of Night (1945) - I liked this for the most part as well. About an architect that has to consult on some renovations and starts to realise that he has dreamt what's happening. All the guests at the house start telling stories and the movie turns into a proto Twilight Zone anthology film. Story about a dummy and at one point they get a little kid to play the dummy... kind of funny/unsettling
