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.
