The City of the Dead1960
“300 years old! Human blood keeps them alive forever!”
Directed by John Llewellyn Moxey
The premise
In Whitewood, Massachusetts, a presumed witch places a curse on the town before she is burned at the stake. 300 years later, a college student arrives and checks into the mysterious Raven's Inn to research the town's history with witchcraft.
Horror Vault's take
Three centuries after a condemned witch vows vengeance on the fog-shrouded town of Whitewood, Massachusetts, the settlement's malevolent legacy endures — waiting for the next unsuspecting visitor. A young college student travels there alone to research its dark history, checking into the ominous Raven's Inn, where the locals seem to know far more than they let on. This atmospheric British chiller blends New England witch-trial lore with Gothic unease, building dread through shadow and secrecy rather than spectacle.
