    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Both the film Trilogy of Terror (1975) and this film were the pilots for a horror anthology TV series that was also going to be titled "Dead of Night", but was never made.
    • Goofs
      Despite the fact that the film's second segment, "No Such Thing as a Vampire", takes place in the late Victorian era, quite modern electric light switches can be seen in the interior of the house. While electric lighting does date back to the 1880s, the switches in use at that time looked nothing like the switches seen in this house; toggle light switches (which are seen in the segment) had not been invented yet.

      • Bobby: You lied, Mommy. Bobby didn't drown by accident. You knew that. Bobby drowned himself to get away from you. You see, Bobby didn't want to come back, Mommy. No... Bobby hates you, Mommy. So he sent *me* instead.
