Brittania Films presents "Horror Hotel" a genuinely scary classic starring CHRISTOPHER Lee even though celebrity songster of that era DENNIS Lotus got top billing. PATRICIA Jessel is the witch, stage thespian VALENTINE Dyall is the warlock and ANN Beach is the mute, these fine actors, along with their talented co stars enforced Horror Hotel's outstanding dialogue with top notch performances that were presented fierce and believable.

Known by the title " City Of The Damned " in Britain, Horror Hotel was directed by JOHN Moxey, this writer scares you and makes you think twice with this excellent screen play that was adapted by GEORGE Baxt and a chilling story told by MILTON Subotsky. Director of Photography DESMOND Dickinson's black and white film is so amazingly crisp and clear you will immerse yourself in all the fog in this well crafted film. The special effects were created by CLIFF Richardson. The opening sequence is a masterpiece I feel could never be duplicated. If one is really into the truism of witchcraft, their beliefs, the bloody rituals or what it must have been like, being accused, condemned and burned at the stake for being a witch then Horror Hotel filmed in 1960 will take you there.
