There’s a spot on the wall. It wasn’t there before. You move closer. What is it? And so, you move even closer. Closer still. And then the spot moves. It’s an eye! Someone is inside the house. Holy shit, man. Screaming and running away are the only choices! ...

In which the showman, with spotlights and all, actually becomes the show. I hold William Castle with high regard when it comes to horror. Entertaining as hell, he could always be relied on to create an atmosphere with his many films. Audiences are only now just ...
