I was mostly struck by the story with the ventriloquist puppet, which, although a bit overused these days, could have had the right effect in its time. I think the creators knew very well why they put it at the end. That's where it truly excels. It's like a cherry on top of an otherwise not-very-tasty cake - nothing offensive, but also not much to get excited about. Dead of Night remains just one of many for me. ()
