My husband and I have both discovered that we enjoyed this film earlier, when we had not yet met. We would like to see it again, but neither of us remembers the title.

Maybe someone out in forum-land remembers it, as well, and can give us the title or director.

We both remember the ending scene. The protagonist got on a train, trying to escape. It is filmed in black and white. You see the side of the train and a lot of smoke/steam/fog and you expect that maybe the 'thing' will come out of the smoke. We were never really certain if the 'thing' was real or the person's imagination. My husband says the train takes off, you are relieved and then see the devil on the cow-catcher or some similar thing.

Both of us do not remember the film plot much, but that last scene imprinted our brains.

Please, does someone else remember this?
It was in black and white and we think it was foriegn, probably French.

It sounds a bit like Night of the Demon.
The ending you describe sounds very similar to the ending of this film.

I first saw it as a kid, too.
That piece of paper spelled doom for whoever received it.

Thank you. Yes, that's it. The director, I see, also did the Cat People, which had another spooky scene of a woman walking in the night next to a high wall and you heard the tree branches behind the wall moving along with her.

He also directed I Walked with a Zombie, which I do not remember seeing, but my library has it, hallelujah!

Thank you very much.

Oh, the director is Jacques Tourneur.
