I saw this film as a child... it was about a group of characters brought together at dinner (perhaps due to a storm?) where each character has a creepy story. One story is about a ventriloquist dummy that kills it's owner, one is about a mirror that reflects a different room and I think there was a story of a child's game of hide and seek where a child goes missing.
At the end of the dinner the lights go out and all the elements of each of the story's begin to play out.
It was a great, ghost/mystery film, and I'd love to see it again.

Cheers,
Vic

Dead of Night (1945)
Wikipedia synopsis:
Architect Walter Craig (Mervyn Johns) arrives at a country house party where he reveals to the assembled guests that he has seen them all in a dream. He appears to have no prior personal knowledge of them but he is able to predict spontaneous events in the house before they unfold. The other guests attempt to test Craig's foresight, while entertaining each other with various tales of uncanny or supernatural events that they experienced or were told about. These include a racing car driver's premonition of a fatal bus crash; a light hearted tale of two obsessed golfers, one of whom becomes haunted by the other's ghost; a ghostly encounter during a children's Christmas party; a haunted antique mirror; and the story of an unbalanced ventriloquist (Michael Redgrave) who believes his amoral dummy is truly alive. The framing story is then capped by a twist ending.
