The Plot…

In October 1977, Night Owls late night talk show host Jack Delroy’s contract was coming up for renewal.  The show has had it’s ups and downs, but lately has been dropping in the ratings.  Because Halloween falls during sweeps week, Delroy has a special episode planned.

On Halloween night, on Night Owls Jack Delroy will present live…

  • Christou, a medium who claims he will communicate with the dead.
  • June Ross-Mitchell and Lilly.  Ross-Mitchell, a parapsychologist who wrote a best-seller about her work with Lilly who is reportedly possessed by a demon.
  • Carmichael Haig, a former magician and professional debunker.  Haig has offered $100,000 to anyone who can prove paranormal powers exist.

No one was prepared for what happened.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Late Night with the Devil feels like a real talk show from 1977.  They’ve absolutely captured the dress, the sound, and sets.  This one is excellent all the way around — writing, direction and casting.  Kudos to all involved.

Late Night with the Devil (2023) rates 4 of 5 stars.
