Deathdream (originally released as Dead of Night) is a 1974 horror film directed and produced by Bob Clark, written by Alan Ormsby, and starring Richard Backus, John Marley, and Lynn Carlin. Inspired by the W. W. Jacobs short story "The Monkey's Paw", the film is about young American soldier Andy Brooks (Backus) who returns home after seemingly being killed in Vietnam, only now as an undead, vampiric creature.
