70s horror movie ending: devil returns exactly one year later to kill hero

Late 60s or early 70s horror film. I don’t remember the plot, but at some point the main character does something to “escape” death, only to have the devil return exactly one year later and kill him. The “exactly one year later” part is the most important.

    1. That is EXACTLY it! Wow! Thank you so much! It’s something I’ve been thinking of for 20+ years, and then saw someone mention this website and wham, got my answer in 1 day.

      You folks rock! 👍

      1. Thank you! You rock too! I remembered this movie from Nightmare Theater, hosted by Sammy Terry, on late night TV here in Indiana. It’s one that keeps coming up on this site. Several years ago I bought the Criterion collection DVD of this great movie.
