"The City of the Dead" (1960), also known as "Horror Hotel," is a British horror film directed by John Llewellyn Moxey. The story revolves around a student, Nan Barlow, who travels to a remote New England town to study witchcraft. She unwittingly becomes part of a dark ritual in a cursed town haunted by a centuries-old witch. The film features atmospheric cinematography and eerie suspense. "The City of the Dead" fell into the public domain in the United States due to copyright expiry, allowing it to be widely distributed and viewed without restrictions.

You can watch the enhanced Black and White version here    • Video   should you not enjoy the colourisation.

Please before giving a thumbs down, most of these movies are in terrible condition, so don't expect miracles! I use a lot of electricity to enhance them as best as I can. I hope you enjoy what I do. Thank you for watching, you are appreciated greatly!

If you have any requests, please comment and I will do my best for you. As long as the requested movies are in the public domain, I can convert to colour and upload here for you to enjoy.

This movie took 17 hours to convert to colour in 4K resolution. I first removed as much grain as possible with de-noising. After that, I upscaled it to 4K and increased the frame rate to 60fps followed by AI colourising and AI facial enhancement. I hope you enjoy the end result!

This movie is in the public domain. There are also many other uploads of this movie across Youtube channels and the archive in it's original black and white form.

    We’ll never get good quality British classics like this anymore and Christopher Lee only made them that much more special. He was a great actor and left a lasting legacy for the entertainment industry.
  • @Davena
    Cleanest copy of this movie I have ever seen. Very much appreciate your effort to bring us these spooky classics!
  • @beverlybradley5485

  • @Zebracorn46
    I really enjoyed this movie. I find these older movies so much more interesting than today's blockbusters. Thank you for your time and effort in uploading.

    Never seen this one in color before. I've loved it in B&W. Thanks for the opportunity to watch it in color.
  • @docholliday1970

    Amazing quality movie! I love 40's, 50's & 60's movies. They are so much better than the films made today. No cgi just great acting and wonderful scenery. Thank you so much for sharing this. Can't wait to see more!❤
  • @babavee100
    Ah...The old, innocent horror movies. Full of plot holes, wobbly scenery and 'over the top' mist. I love 'em ! Thank you for the upload.
  • @williamratcliffe7794
    Film was always a favorite of mine watching it as a kid on tv. Now, so many years later it still packs a punch. The colorization is awesome.
  • @paulmacdonald4844
    This film and Hammer house of horrors is fantastic.Christopher Lee played a relatively small role but a major part.
  • @reeferforall3120
    The dialogue is so delightful to hear. If only people could converse similarly today.

    No Simon, it's you who is greatly appreciated! Just came across your wonderful channel a few days ago and was thrilled to see so many coloured versions of great old movies we've only ever been able to see in B&W. I love many black and white movies, they have a lovely ethereal quality about them but it's also nice to see them in colour. I recently watched Guest in the House which is on my list of all time faves. A BIG thank you for all the effort you put in to make all these wonderful old beauties available to us. Liked and subbed.

    If you enjoyed this film, there is a very good chance you will really like "The Night of the Demon" which should be watched in its original full-length prerelease version.
  • @RebornBabyCrazy
