      Oh yes, could not agree more. I often shake my head in disbelief that all these films, we could understand every word they said, thus following the story and what was going on. Now what is crazy is that my TV is far superior in technology to what I watched such films back then but now regularly have to switch English subtitles due to the mumbling, total darkness, very loud sound effects and background music - I don't understand what is being said.

      It's one of my favorite horror flicks I watch annually on Halloween🎃. What I love about The City of the Dead are the intensified ghoulish settings throughout the film, especially the graveyard, deck in fog, and centuries-old headstones. The set designers did a superb job planning and creating the entire scenery of Whitewood with mystical and ominous backdrops of a haunting hotel🏚. Even the thunderstorms⚡ and the hour of 13 chiming church bell🔔 gave visions of consternation at the end of the film. A splendid classic!!!! 🤟😝🤟

    Simon, I recall seeing this movie in black and white sometime back. I am a fan of Christopher Lee, who was the best "Dracula", the screen ever had. Was this film restored and then colorized? What you have done with it and achieved is just AWESOME! Irrespective of what you may say, I am not giving up on you and my request for colorization. There's a Burke's Law episode "Who killed the rest"? here on UA-cam that features Lisa Gaye in a pivotal role. Perhaps, they may allow you to colorize the same, going by the excellent quality of your work now and in the past. Do please give it a try.

    • @SimonWard1
      @SimonWard1  10 місяців тому +11

      The film was downloaded in its original format from wikipedia, a webm, it wasn't in bad condition at all, which makes for a much better enhancement. It did take a longer time to enhance than previous as I am now using different settings that take up a lot more resources. I have had a look for Who killed the rest, but it's not a webm on Wikipedia and due to all the copyright claims, I will now only be using Wikipedia uploads to enhance because nobody can claim anything as theirs when its freely available under public domain mark 1.0 on Wikipedia. If you can search on Wiki for anything, if you find it, let me know and I will colorise it for you. I have to be very safe with what I do from now on, although I won every claim against me, I just don't have the time to counter all the false or mistaken claims. 250 hours of work was knocked offline over the weekend until yesterday, due to mistaken or false copyright claims against my content.

    Simon,
    I've watched this a number of times since the late 1960's and think it is great but what has also got me was the music; the jazz numbers when the guests are dancing. I don't know why the guy who wrote them didn't release a record with these numbers. At first you don't really pay attention to them ( naturally, considering the content of the movie ) but when you listen closer they have an appealing taste. I have an appreciation for all types of music and can't find the history of any of these numbers.

    If you enjoyed this film, there is a very good chance you will really like "The Night of the Demon" which should be watched in its original full-length prerelease version.

      Night of the Demon is another of my favorite top 10 vintage horror flicks! I got the Blu-Ray a few months ago in anticipation of Halloween. I will have to check the length of the release, since I haven’t watched it yet. Dana Andrews lent an air of credibility to some fantastic happenings. That is one film I do not believe would be enhanced by colorization, just my opinion. So creepy in B&W.

      @@vlfriscia Yes, in B & W is the way it should be seen, no question about it. Dana Andrews was outstanding, as was Niall McGinnis, who interestingly enough played the lead role in "Martin Luther" released in 1954.

Reason being that i've seen the movie no less that a couple dozen times whenever it came on broadcast tv so seeing it in this manner was a welcome change, lol.
