Some of my popular 60′s terror films prove up in this boxed status due out this plunge. William Castle always had a gimmick with his films. Sometimes these had him appearing onscreen himself such as in Mr. Sardonicus, and sometimes it keen theatre tricks such as wiring the seats to voice a serene shock during the Tingler or issuing life insurance policies during Macabre. Eight of the films Castle made for the then Columbia Pictures are included here.

Zotz! (1962) – A mild-mannered college professor finds an passe amulet that can form people disappear in boring motion, and when enemy spies learn about it, a hilarious lunge ensues.
The Old-fashioned Shaded House (1963), is Castle’s version of the J.B. Priestley new. It follows an American car salesman to a spooky faded Welsh estate where the members of an eccentric family launch to collect picked off one by one.
The Tingler has Vincent Notice as a scientist looking for a live creature that he thinks is the basis for all dread and also has the power to frighten people to death.
13 Ghosts (1960) – Has a penniless man inheriting a mansion from his behind uncle. It turn out that it is inhabited by 12 ghosts which special glasses enable the family to eye. It also turns out that Uncle Cyrus left his fortune somewhere in the house.
13 Vexed Girls! (1963) – A bunch of priveleged teenagers at a boarding school intersect with a yarn of espionage. Amusing but fun stuff.
Strait-Jacket (1964) – Twenty years ago Lucy Harbin (Joan Crawford) found her husband with another woman and did them both in with an ax. After being locked up for twenty years she is now free and supposedly sane. However, outlandish occurances launch that gain it search for like Lucy has gone over the edge again. Joan gives a gargantuan performance here. Well, let’s face it, she never gave a terrible one regardless of the movie itself.
Several of these films have been on DVD before, and when they were released several came with featurettes, so I’m hoping at least that considerable gets carried over into the original boxed region. Specifically there were short featurettes on the unique Sardonicus, Homicidal, 13 Ghosts, Tingler, and Strait-Jacket.
Now if only whoever it was who owned the rights to the 1958 Castle film Macabre would mumble a DVD release.
William Castle wasn’t simply a film maker. William Castle was a showman. So distinguished so that going to the opening of one of his films was an event as opposed to going to a movie. Special stunts were what Castle was renowned for and several of these films featured those. While audiences can’t enjoy the shows he set aside on in theaters these days, they can accumulate enjoyment in his films on DVD with the release of THE WILLIAM CASTLE FILM COLLECTION from Sony.
This collection may not include all of his films but it does include a number of his better pictures as well as several never before released to DVD. And those that have already been released are given a well deserved treatment here by including them in this collection. So what’s in it? Eight movies for young and conventional.
First off is 13 Terrorized GIRLS. The get here was Castle’s search for girls from around the world to report the members of an all girl boarding school who score alive to in look shenanigans. Light on scares and enormous on chuckles, the film is a indecent dose of Castle.
13 GHOSTS tells the record of down on his luck father who inherits a house from a rich uncle, only if he stays there. Too terrible that this same uncle made a habit of collecting ghosts, 12 of which can be found there now. And the 13th? Ogle to glean out. The trick here was a space of glasses with blue and red lenses, one to allow you to gape the ghosts, the other to block them out.
HOMICIDAL was Castle’s acknowledge to Hitchcock’s PSYCHO. The film opens with a brutal slay of a justice of the peace by a young woman who returns home to care for an invalid woman. Hateful to her employer’s sister as well as the woman she watches over, what is the secret that is revealed only in the last minutes of the film? For those too scared to regain out we have the countdown clock that permitted patrons to leave the theater and retreat to the coward’s corner in the lobby.
STRAIGHT JACKET features an aging Joan Crawford as a woman sent to prison 20 years earlier for the axe destroy of her husband and his lover. Now free, some exclusive goings on are affecting her life and those of the people around her. Has she gone insane?
THE Weak Shadowy HOUSE is a remake of a classic Universal fear film, here played for laughs. Tom Posten is the flat mate of a man now deceased, invited to exhaust the weekend at the family retreat. Too terrible this family is far from normal and one after the other gets bumped off as the night progresses.
MR. SARDONICUS, my common, tells the sage of a doctor who receives a ticket from his ex-fiancé. Now married to a cruel landowner, she requests he near to her husband’s aide in a cure for what it the most repugnant case of paralysis ever seen. If he succeeds, she is free to leave. If not? The face of Mr. Sardonicus gave me nightmares for years!
THE TINGLER features Vincent Imprint in a role that gives him a chance to obtain even some of the lamest dialogue sound Shakespearean. As a scientists who discovers that apprehension gives birth to a creature that literally squeezes your spine unless you release that terror by screaming, Label is astounding. The substantial gimmick here was in bewitch theaters that had clear seats with vibrating mechanisms placed under chairs. At one point in the film, in a theater, the shroud goes shadowy and Impress calls out that the Tingler is lose in the theater you are in! If you feel it you should shout, bawl for your life! Of course this was when the mechanisms would buzz, scaring theater patrons.
Lastly is ZOTZ! again starring Tom Posten. This time around Posten is a language professor whose niece receives a medallion from her boyfriend on an archeological dig. An archaic language is found on the medallion and Posten deciphers it to watch that by pointing at someone he can cause internal hurt, by saying zotz he can build them disappear slowly and by doing the two together he can cause death! When the government doesn’t pay attention to him the Russians do and attempt a kidnapping.
Included in this collection are several episodes of Castle produced TV shows, unhurried the scenes featurettes on the movies and a immense documentary about Castle himself. The master showman took to appearing in most of his films and getting a kick out of the fans reactions to them all. Many fans have gone on to become star film directors in their fill apt.
This collection might be a bit pricy, but to lift each film on its enjoy would cost more. If you worship top-notch stale fashioned apprehension films, if you have fond memories of these titles, then you’ll want to add this boxed position to your collection. And what better time to give these movies a viewing than now at Halloween? Anyone up for a trustworthy terror?
