In the long series of films featuring Sir Christopher Lee, the most remarkable special effect is himself, and NEVER disappointing !
Valentine Dyall! What a voice!
Ерунда.
ME GUSTA VER LAS DOS VERSIONES. LA CLÁSICA BCO NEGRO Y ESTA A COLOR. FANTÁSTICA.
Whitewoods weather for the week: Foggy in the morning / Foggy at Noon & Foggy at Night
2 week stay? Her luggage was nearly empty!
why was abigail adams mentioned in the beginning,a former presidents wife
THIS FILM WAS MADE/ RELEASED SAME year AS ALFRED'S HITCHCOCK'S PSYCHO THEY HAVE SOMEWHAT SAME STORYLINE OF THE GIRL DISAPPEARING.THIS FILM STARTS OFF WELL BUT THE ENDING IS VERY ANTICLIMAC AND CATERING TO ORGANIZED RELIGION.!!!!
Colorized?! You don't colorize a B/W masterpiece. Sacrilege.
I much prefer this film in it's original Black & White' format
The ending was creepy. When the face of Nan Barlow was revealed at the end.
My favorite sceen in this movie is when miss Newless reveal her true self….."my name is Elizabeth Selwyn" ……
DUMB STUPID M.F.S
There's a special scene in this film which is Horror Gold. Worth a look.
Weird skinny white guy at 05:36 looking up at the ceiling possibly checking to see if there were any witches flying around the room 😀 great movie so far
The Vienna Boys Choir sing the theme song in the beginning credits 😇
Good one. Some rather curious accents?
tanta propaganda, afe.
Ah, yes, all these Americans. In America. Which is where they are.
Hahahahahaha! Now maybe people will understand how come "The Exorcist" in 1973, and then "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" in 1974 are sooo important for the horror films, and why is it that the people who used to watch them then, were literally falling unconscious or getting their underwear pissed!
Because, with an exception of Hitchcock's "Psycho", and the truly real innovator, George A. Romero and his "Night Of The Living Dead", all the horror movies were like this! Including the Dracula films, only they were made with a higher budget! Otherwise… VERY, VERY POOR writing, no character development, silly ways to defeat "the bad guys" (just watch what happens at the end of this movie – I won't even mention the "hand on the shoulder" thing – which the idiotic directors still use it, today – or hilarious scenes how Barlow carrying his brother in law in his hands, as if he's a little girl ☺☺☺☺☺☺), all scenes shot in the studio, and a zillion other crap!
The only films that actually used their intellect for a better character development, therefore, tell a good and truly scary story, were guys like Vincent Price But they were so few! Other than that… 99% films were like this one! People were getting into theaters to get a bit "scared" for 80-90 minutes, and then come out of it, knowing it's just a (poorly made) story! So, when W.Friedkin and T.Hooper hit the audience a decade later with their masterpieces, that's when the real horror film history was made, which inspired the historic horror maestros we know today as legends!
Anyway… it's good to have these "horrors" from the 60's here, on YouTube!
are there any inns that even exist they way they used to back then before… say maybe until the end of the 1970s, where you just had to write your name in pencil or pen in the guest-book and you didn't have to pay a security deposit before your check-in date?
Classic 1960" Real title of Movie is Horror Hotel
Wish they wouldn’t add colour to black and white films
It seems it was night all the time in whitewood. No days. 😀
Good movie! 🙂 Thank you for posting.

Sir Christopher was a British commando with the SAS during World War II. He was the real deal.

I know you populist scumbag regular people will disagree but, wake up morons, lee was a horrible actor
Luscious colours.
This is a far too-little-known horror classic (you can't go wrong with Christopher Lee, and the music, both vocal and instrumental, is superb), but it should NEVER have been colorized. The atmospheric black-and-white cinematography of the original is PERFECT, particularly for the execution at the beginning, and the Black Mass at the end.
Gotta get me a Fresnel lens. Keep seeing them in BBC horror films. Let see what is on the other side.
I can't quite put my finger on it… But there is something mysterious… Something a little strange about the town of Whitewood.
Anyone else remember parts of this movie being integrated into an SNL sketch?
33:35 You're welcome.
Interesting little movie for its time.
Long as I gets Burnt!!!!!
