The Movie: City of the Dead (1960)
What Is It?: John
Llewellyn Moxey supposedly gave his witch flick the Psycho structure before
Psycho even came out, but even if he was ripping off Hitchcock, his film is
still great because of its high-contrast B&W images, the always welcome
presence of Christopher Lee, and one of the great horror performances from
Patricia Jessel.
Why Today?: On
this day in 1920, Patricia Jessel was born.
