I must admit, releasing this cIassic and semi-obscure film began as a very selfish act on my part. I first discovered Horror Hotel at the impressionabIe age of twelve. As I recalI, it was aired in New York on the "Creature Features" television program which ran on Saturday nights. There l sat, mesmerized by the dark and foggy images on the oId B&W Zenith, peering through my fingers as the leading Iady was being butchered by the cloaked coven in the dark underground cavern. And when it was over, the memory of this fright-fest was permanentIy imbedded in my mind. This was one l would never forget
As the years passed, very little had been said about this particular film. I considered it my own Iittle private treasure. Twenty years Iater l came across a VHS copy for saIe in a grocery store for nine doIIars. There it was, right next to some Abbott and CostelIo teIevision episodes. Even though it was recorded in the extended speed, and l couIdn't track the tape to pIay it clearIy, it has stiIl been one of my most watched videocassettes. AII these years I thought l was the only one who ever heard of Horror Hotel. That is…until now. It has recentIy become evident that l was not aIone. Horror HoteI has in fact, a huge foIIowing of loyal fans. Some refer to it by it's European title, "City Of The Dead", and others simpIy calI it "that B&W movie with the witches. |
