Creepy Castle Classic!
I first heard of William Castle when I bought the movie "House on Haunted Hill", which quickly became one of my favorite "ghost shows". I watched the re-make of this film before I had a chance to see the original, and was intrigued. When my birthday came about, and I found this movie, I had no excuse. What a thrill! I was unfortunate enough to have missed out on the 3-D craze of the 50's, but thanks to Columbia/Tristar, Illusion-O is back with a vengance! The movie makes great use of deep, haunting sound and the ghostly visuals to keep it creepy. Now, don't get me wrong, mostly this is Mayberry horror, but there are a few scenes that honestly got me to jump! Like the others, I lament not having more "ghost-viewers" to share with my friends, but even without the viewers, this Castle show is definately worth seeing. So make sure you keep your viewers close, and after the movie, give your dark house a good look-through with them to be sure none of the strange specters followed YOU home......
