The thrills – the chills of witchcraft today.
The City of the Dead (1960) follows a college student who travels to a remote New England town to research witchcraft and becomes ensnared in a web of ancient rituals and hidden identities. As fog-shrouded streets and hostile townsfolk close in, the investigation turns into a fight for survival against a living past. This atmospheric horror film blends gothic menace and occult paranoia in a chilling meditation on inherited evil.
