Oh, a live television special for Halloween night in 1977! Too bad I was in college with better things to do on Halloween that year. But apparently I missed some real fireworks when the broadcast went haywire. That's the mysterious premise of the movie Late Night with the Devil. The broadcast was abandoned at some point, but more recently a master tape of the disaster has been unearthed. Let's take a closer look at it.
And that's about all we will learn for now, but it looks deliciously scary. Late Night with the Devil premiered at last year's SXSW festival and played at the Sydney Film Festival last summer. Stephen King recommends it. The rest of us can see Late Night with the Devil in theaters beginning on March 10. And rightly so- we shouldn't have to wait for Halloween to have a Halloween television special.
