  8. 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.!!!!

  20. 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!

  21. 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?

  29. The Black and White purists act like you can't find the original version on YouTube! ? You don't have to watch this version!

  35. I know you populist scumbag regular people will disagree but, wake up morons, lee was a horrible actor

  37. 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.

  39. I can't quite put my finger on it… But there is something mysterious… Something a little strange about the town of Whitewood.
