Cult Classics Collection Adds horror classic Night Of The Eagle
Dare you believe in the existence of witches? In July you can when Studiocanal release atmospheric horror Night Of The Eagle on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital.
Directed by Sidney Hayers (Circus of Horrors), starring Peter Wyngarde, Janet Blair and Margaret Johnston. Based on the novel Conjure Wife by Fritz Leiber, Night Of The Eagle (or Burn, Witch Burn in the U.S)sees a husband protected by his wife from a coven of witches.
The 1962 British horror is considered a cult classic that has been made three times! (Weird Wife and Witches’ Brew). Check out the trailer for the film below…
Professor Norman Taylor (Peter Wyngarde) seemingly has it all: a great job, the envy of his colleagues, a happy marriage, and a healthy scepticism when it comes to the supernatural. However, things begin to unravel when Taylor discovers that his wife Tansy (Janet Blair) has been practising witchcraft apparently in an effort to progress his career and to protect him from jealous colleagues. Despite Tansy’s warnings, Taylor insists on destroying all of her magic paraphernalia and tries to carry on as normal, refusing to believe that his wife’s witchcraft could have been behind his success. That is, until the very next day when things in his life start going badly wrong…
