City of the Dead – New RiffTrax VOD!

The worst part of living in a City of the Dead is how hard it is to find parking! Also the food usually sucks. But you can usually find a stiff drink, so maybe it’s not so bad. Don’t take my word for it, RiffTrax is bax with another VOD title, City of the Dead, featuring Christopher Lee in a totally not evil evil role. There is 1960s British stuff, pretend Americans, and similar elements to Psycho, which was released at almost the exact same time. (speaking of which, remember that Psycho II is also a RiffTrax VOD!)

Visit the scenic City of the Dead! Just up the road from the Village of the Damned and a hop, skip and a jump away from the Municipality of the Mildly Bloated. This is vintage horror stuff. A sleepy northeastern town, still under the shadow of the witchcraft trials it once held, a town that’s now somehow completely forgotten by the world despite existing in the middle of New England in the 1960s. Get out your vintage horror bingo card and prepare to check off things like “elderly gas station attendant who warns people not to go up that road.” Yes, all your favorite cliches are here!

Speaking of vintage horror cliches: Christopher Lee! Before he was Saruman, before he was…*sigh*…Dooku, he was a professor of the occult with a penchant for sending pretty young female students off to dangerous, devil-worshipping towns. Might he turn out to be secretly evil? For your answer, we remind you again that this is Christopher Lee.

Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for a road trip to the City of the Dead! Because hey, it’s still gotta be better than Fort Worth.
