The Curse of the Demon is a 1957 British horror film directed by Jacques Tourneur and produced by Hal E. Chester. It is also known as Night of the Demon. The film is based on the 1911 short story "Casting the Runes" by M.R. James.

The other thing I wanted was one of the hardwood fingerboards with metal frets. Please don't get me wrong here, I am not dismissing the plastic fretboards of the standards one bit. It's a topic that I see often where people like to bash Magic Fluke with no real grounds or experience. I OWN a plastic fretboard model and I've owned it since about 2008. Sure the whole uke is a bit bashed up, and the frets are showing a touch of wear - but it still plays great. No, I just wanted the wooden one because I like the feel of them and, well, just wanted to also own the alternative.

It was the Flea that I bought a mere two weeks after buying a junk Mahalo for which I should have known better which could have put me off the ukulele for life. The first Magic Fluke workshop was a repurposed gas station but the Webbs and their crew now work out of a solar powered facility in Sheffield, Massachusetts.

James. The plot revolves around an American psychologist named Dr. John Holden who travels to England to attend a conference on parapsychology.

The Magic Fluke Co. Ukuleles

Dale and Phyllis Webb started the Magic Fluke Company in 1999 at the dawn of the current ukulele revival. Phyllis’s brother, the author and ukulele maven Jim Beloff, was lamenting the fact that back then there were no affordable, well-made ukes. Dale, who was an engineer, took up the challenge and designed the first Fluke with it’s now iconic paddle-shaped body. From the beginning Webb’s designs were unique. The back and sides of the Fluke were formed from molded thermoplastic, a similar technique to that used on Ovation guitars. Another interesting feature is that the frets were molded into the fingerboard rather than installed separately. The original Flukes sounded great, with a sweet, sparkling tone and they were an immediate hit with the uke community. A few years after the introduction of the Fluke, the Webbs added the smaller, pineapple shaped Flea to the line and then the Firefly Banjo Ukulele.

These days Flukes are available in two sizes, the M20 Tenor and the M10 Concert; there are two Fleas, the M30 Soprano and the M40 Concert; and three Fireflys, the M70 Tenor, the M90 Concert and M80 Soprano. Recently, Dale Webb has moved away from uke design and developed the Timber, a remarkable short scale, solid body tiny electric bass. The Timber Bass has the familiar paddle shaped body, a 21.5” scale length and a Shadow under-saddle pickup. Unlike the Flukes and the Fleas, the Timber features an all-wood construction. We are very impressed with the rich, rumbling tone the diminutive Timber produces. This is a great bass for traveling musicians or for someone who doesn’t want to lug a heavy full-size instrument to a jam session.

The first Magic Fluke workshop was a repurposed gas station but the Webbs and their crew now work out of a solar powered facility in Sheffield, Massachusetts. Almost all of the wood used in building the instruments is locally sourced, except for koa, which, of course, comes from Hawaii. These days there is a lot more competition in the uke world, but Flukes and Fleas still offer an excellent value. The thermoplastic construction technique is quite durable and is a good choice for children, who can sometimes be a bit rough on instruments, or adults looking for a durable travel instrument. And they sound great, come in a wide range of colors and are easy to play. What more could you ask for?

My original Flea is still staying with me, battered and scarred, as a testament to why I play this instrument, though this one is being kept 'for best' as it were.

While there, he becomes embroiled in a battle with the sinister Dr. Julian Karswell, who is involved in black magic and devil worship. Dr. Karswell gives Holden a slip of paper with runic symbols on it, claiming that it will result in his death within three days. Holden dismisses the warning as a prank, but strange events begin to occur around him. He experiences nightmares, encounters a demonic presence, and witnesses the deaths of several individuals who had crossed paths with Karswell. Holden teams up with Joanna Harrington, the niece of one of the victims, to try and unravel the mystery and find a way to break the curse. They uncover evidence of Karswell's involvement in the occult and his ability to summon a demonic entity known as the demon. As the deadline for Holden's death approaches, he and Joanna race against time to defeat Karswell and break free from the curse. They confront the demon in a climactic battle, ultimately exposing Karswell's true nature and saving themselves from a tragic fate. The Curse of the Demon is a unique horror film that combines elements of psychological terror, supernatural horror, and occult themes. It is known for its atmospheric cinematography, eerie soundtrack, and strong performances, particularly by Dana Andrews as Dr. Holden and Niall MacGinnis as Dr. Karswell. Despite the film's success and cult following, there was controversy surrounding the inclusion of the demon itself, as some felt it detracted from the suspense and ambiguity of the story. Director Jacques Tourneur had originally intended to leave the demon unseen, but the producers insisted on its inclusion. Nevertheless, The Curse of the Demon remains a classic of British horror cinema, revered for its intelligent storytelling, effective scares, and memorable characters. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of supernatural horror and the timeless themes of good versus evil..
