LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL (2023)
Thursday 31 October 2024 at 7.30pm
Competing with Johnny Carson, Jack Delroy hosts Night Owls, a late-night talk show. In 1977, he returns to the screen following the death of his wife, but ratings are low – could an occult-themed Halloween episode revive the show’s fortunes? Special guests include a medium, a sceptic magician, and parapsychologist June Ross-Mitchell, accompanied by the subject of her latest book: 13-year-old Lilly D’Abo, who survived a Satanic church’s mass suicide. During the live broadcast, sinister manifestations indicate that everyone present could be in mortal danger. “Absolutely brilliant. I couldn’t take my eyes off it.” (Stephen King).
