DEAD OF NIGHT
This ESCAPE Audition was cut in New York on 3-21-47 and was a different production of a story already used for an earlier audition called OUT OF THIS WORLD on 2-28-47. It was based on the final sequence in the 1945 British portmanteau horror film, DEAD OF NIGHT. The cast in both performances included Berry Kroeger as schizoid ventriloquist Eric Hixon and Art Carney as the voice of Toby, his dummy.
