Horror Hotel

Under discussion:

Horror Hotel  (1960)

AKA "City of the Dead,"  is surprisingly good considering its apparent low-budget and little-known film co., Vulcan/Trans Lux. The first time I saw this I remember being put on the edge of my seat in the theater when one of the "main characters" is killed off early in the film (similar to Janet Leigh in "Psycho"). Christopher Lee stars as university professor of demonology who sends a "favorite" student to a little-known village in New England to do a paper on Satanism during the 17th century.  The movie has several good shocks, which I've noticed is typical of many British chillers of the 60s, and is full of creepy atmosphere complete with swirling fog. Also in the cast is Dennis Lotis, a British pop singer at the time.
