I've got reviews of that and <i>Thirteen Ghosts</i> I haven't posted yet but will some day.<br /><br />There's a documentary out there somewhere on Castle and his movies. If memory serves, it's called <i>Spine Tingler</i> and it's worth seeing.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-34058456212878092992018-05-07T11:14:01.491-05:002018-05-07T11:14:01.491-05:00Castle never did anything genuinely scary, and I d...Castle never did anything genuinely scary, and I don't care at all. His movies are pure joy, like a carnival spookhouse. And you're right--Vincent Price is the perfect campy lead for all of it. He's having fun, so the audience has fun, too.

The last one was Strait Jacket with Joan Crawford. What a hoot!<br /><br />Before I started my journey I thought Castle was a guy who thought up silly gimmicks to sell his bad movies. How wrong I was! Most of them are entertaining as hell.marie_dresslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334550550983418668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-91350528142488441372018-05-06T08:53:00.577-05:002018-05-06T08:53:00.577-05:00Castle films are silly nonsense but I agree that t...Castle films are silly nonsense but I agree that they are usually a great deal of fun. He was lucky or canny enough to realize that Vincent Price would be a perfect fit for his vision of "horror" benefiting them both. Often Price is the element that keeps the film from becoming insufferably stupid because of the brio with which he plays his character and puts the right spin on whatever bit of preposterousness Castle is trying to sell us.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-13662344070695674792018-05-06T04:25:49.477-05:002018-05-06T04:25:49.477-05:00Am still waiting for "The French Tingler.&quo...Am still waiting for "The French Tingler."Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.com
