Late Night With The Devil – 5 stars

90 minutes of slowly developing terror, cleverly interspersed with humor but never campy. The scariest part is the environment – think a late-night show in the 70s, 10% Howard Beall’s circus in Network and 90% Johnny Carson. The fact that you subliminally feel limits to any horror that might occur – after all, it’s live TV – brings your guard down just enough.

Night Owls with Jack Delroy is having its annual Halloween show, one queued up with promises of a paranormal psychologist, a medium, and a professional magician and now-debunker/skeptic, all followed by a fun costumed Halloween parade. Night Owls is hosted by Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchian) an almost-was Carson, now desperate to keep his program on-the-air. That desperation leads Delroy into taking greater and greater chances as the night’s schedule veers wildly out of control.

Saying more might spoil the fun so, that’s that.

A great creepy ride, crisp and engaging, perfect for the season. On Hulu.
