About the author

America's "Master of the Macabre" is at it again. Remember the Lloyds of London life insurance policy that protected moviegoers if they were frightened to death by "Macabre"? Or the theatre seats that buzzed when "The Tingler" came on screen...and the refund for cowards who could not face the last terrifying minutes of "Homicidal"? Bill Castle loved scaring the pants off America...especially with his most famous hit, "Rosemary's Baby." Castle has always sought and found the thrill of thrilling--a mark of successful showmanship, as told in his autobiography "STEP RIGHT UP: I'm Gonna Scare The Pants Off America". And he's at it again, with his greatest gimmick of all time....he's back "from the grave." You can read all about it in his new novel "FROM THE GRAVE: The Prayer". No William Castle collection would be complete without a copy of William Castle's annotated screenplay from "House on Haunted Hill." Follow him daily at www.williamcastle.com.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
All of his "Fright Films" are covered, with the exception of his co-production with Hammer in England, which doesn't get a mention at all. I recall him being interviewed on television in the 60s during filming, he seemed enthusiastic about "The Old Dark House" then, but I think it had bad reviews, and a delayed release.
This book would be invaluable to anyone interested in this area of cinema, indeed, cinema in general. A true "character", William Castle comes across also as a gentleman, and a really nice one..
