The guys credits are here. I have seen 13 ghosts and House on Haunted hill.

I think it would have been cool in the 1950's to see his movies when he had all the gimmicks in place.

Like the Movie Macabre where he issued a $1,000 life insurance from Lloyds of London is case you died of fright during the movie!!!

The guy was way ahead of his time!!!!

Hahah -- hearing of his gimmicks always gives me a laugh.
I really wish I was alive then...

I've seen most of his films.

I caught Homicidal the other night on TMC, I think it was...

Fun to watch at four in the morning.

If you buy the DVD 13 ghosts you get a ghost viewer so you see the ghosts if you choose. My older daughters used to think it was cool to watch it late and night and would take turns watching the ghosts....man they don't make movies like they used to!!!!!

I used to do that when I was a young kid -- I always loved watching it.

Therer was a movie out in 93 that stared John Goodman called
Matinee he played a guy named Lawerence Woosley based on William Castle. It did not get much play at the theaters I rented it, pretty good movie.

I saw STRAIGHT JACKET with Joan Crawford. Man what campy movie that was. Very good though. I liked it. I want to see 13 GHOSTS now.

Don't miss two of his best movies: 'The Tingler' and 'Mr. Sardonicus'! They are both really good old-fashioned fright films! Love 'House on Haunted Hill' too, but I've seen that so many times I had to move on...thus my discovery of the two movies noted above.
