Description
House on Haunted Hill (1959), The Tingler (1959), and Mr. Sardonicus (1961). In the world of ballyhoo, nobody comes close to being a master at it than producer/director William Castle. From giving insurance policies to filmgoers in case they die of fright, promising the horrors onscreen will come off the screen into the audiences, to even letting the audience decide the fate of one of the characters in the film, Castle was a master of it. He treated his fans with respect, and wanted everyone to have a great time with his pictures. And they still are entertaining today. In this episode we're going to delve into 3 of Castle's films, as well as the man himself. Joining us to talk all things Castle is superfan and collector (not to mention convention warrior for Severin Films) Matt Harding!
