Selección Terror: La noche del diablo

Museum Catalog Note This Spanish-language pulp horror installment (No. 249, December 1977) features Burton Hare's novella "La Noche del Diablo" (Devil's Night). The story opens in Shadow Town, a decaying coastal fishing village shrouded in fog during an annual night of supernatural dread when residents barricade themselves indoors. Robert Lester and his companion Evelyn arrive seeking Evelyn's brother Paul, who disappeared after visiting the town weeks earlier. At a local inn, they question the innkeeper about Paul's stay and mysterious intentions, learning he seemed anxious before departing for Shadow Town. That night, while Robert and Evelyn are together in their room, a young servant girl appears at their door with an urgent, whispered warning. The narrative alternates between intimate scenes and atmospheric descriptions of the townspeople's supernatural terror, building toward an unresolved mystery involving Paul's disappearance.
