New York: Penguin Books, 1992.) HORROR HOTEL (1960-British) 76 min. Director: John Moxey. Stars: Dennis Lotis, Christopher Lee, Betta St. John, Patricia Jessel, Venetia Stevenson. Seventeenth-century witch burned at the stake maintains an inn to lure victims for blood sacrifice to the devil. Not bad of its type. Original British title: THE CITY OF THE DEAD. EATEN ALIVE! (1976) 96 min. Director: Tobe Hooper. Stars: Neville Brand, Mel Ferrer, Carolyn Jones, Marilyn Burns, William Finley, Stuart Whiteman. Ill-fated Hollywood debut feature by _Texas Chainsaw_ director Hooper is a garishly stylized, unrelentingly bizarre film about a psychopath (Brand) who has a crocodile living in the front yard of his hotel. Periodically guests who upset the management are fed to this pet. Originally titled DEATH TRAP; also known as STARLIGHT SLAUGHTER, LEGEND OF THE BAYOU, and HORROR HOTEL.
