If you're in the market for a great, creepy film, check out
Dead of Night, the 1945 classic from Ealing Studios out of Britain. The film is a collection of horror stories (all tied together) by different directors. One of the most well known is "The Ventriloquist Dummy", directed by Alberto Cavalcanti.
This site also has some good photos and info.
