TAGLINES: "Just ring for doom service!" "300 years old! Human blood keeps them alive forever!" - A young college student arrives in a sleepy Massachusetts town to research witchcraft; during her stay at an eerie inn, she discovers a startling secret about the town and its inhabitants. A young coed (Nan Barlow) uses her winter vacation to research a paper on witchcraft in New England. Her professor recommends that she spend time in a small village named Whitewood, his hometown, and also recommends that she stay at the "Raven's Inn" run by Mrs. Newless. When she arrives at Whitewood, she notices macabre happenings, and soon things really start happening in earnest, and she finds herself "marked" for sacrifice by the coven of undead witches. It seems that the innkeeper is actually the undead spirit of Elizabeth Selwyn, and the "guests" at the inn are the other witches who have come to celebrate the sacrifice on Candlemas Eve; as Nan walks away, one of them says, "HE will be PLEASED." Also known as THE CITY OF THE DEAD. This movie's US release under the title of "Horror Hotel" omitted the following lines during Elizabeth Selwyn's burning at the stake in the first scene, which are critical to fully understanding the plot, but apparently offended American censors: Elizabeth Selwyn: "I have made my pact with thee O Lucifer! Hear me, hear me! I will do thy bidding for all eternity. For all eternity shall I practice the ritual of Black Mass. For all eternity shall I sacrifice unto thee. I give thee my soul, take me into thy service." Jethro Keane: "O Lucifer, listen to thy servant, grant her this pact for all eternity and I with her, and if we fail thee but once, you may do with our souls what you will." Elizabeth Selwyn: "Make this city an example of thy vengeance. Curse it, curse it for all eternity! Let me be the instrument of thy curse. Hear me O Lucifer, hear me!" CAST includes Christopher Lee, Patricia Jessel, Dennis Lotis, Venetia Stevenson, Betta St John, Valentine Dyall, Norman MacOwan, James Dyrenforth, Fred Johnson, Ted Carroll, Nickolas Grace. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : Originally written as the pilot for a horror television series intended to star Boris Karloff that never got made. Released in Britain in September 1960, but not released in the US until September 1962 when it opened in Los Angeles as "Horror Hotel". This was the first movie made by Amicus Productions, one of Hammer's most successful rivals in the 1960s and 1970s. At the time of this movie, however, the company was known as Vulcan Productions.
