Big fan of William Castle.....By Robyn SwaimAs a child I have fond memories of watching William Castle's films on the big screen. Yes, they are schlocky and silly and not really scary by todays standards, but they are a piece of film history for anyone who is a horror movie buff. I was so happy to find this book after reading Castle's autobiography (well worth reading if you haven't already). So glad this kind of thing is available for those of us who like to collect movie memorabilia.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A GREAT HISTORICAL DOCUMENT FOR FANS OF 50s HORRORBy Thomas KinneeA wonderful historical document -- a carefully reproduced copy of the original shooting script of this Vincent Price horror classic, complete with all the notes/markings made by producer/director William Castle!0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

"House on Haunted: A William Castle Annotated Screamplayrdquo; is the never-before-seen working script from William Castlersquo;s archives and is a Living Screenplay(TM). "House on Haunted Hill" (written by Robb White) is a renowned work of producer and director William Castle, beloved for his signature-style fright-filled films and delivering ldquo;the gimmickrdquo; to the horror genre. "House on Haunted Hill" stars the inimitable Vincent Price and Emergo the skeleton who famously flew through theaters and taunted live audiences."House on Haunted Hill: A William Castle Annotated Screamplay" features original script formatting, maintaining the integrity of the authentic screenplay replete with Castlersquo;s hand-written notes and actual leather-bound style of design that he used for every movie he made.

The William Castle Annotated Screamplay for House on Haunted Hill includes a foreword by prolific director Joe Dante (Gremlins, The Howling). Dante calls House on Haunted Hill ldquo;an artifact worth havingrdquo; and a ldquo;seminal 1950s picturerdquo;.

And a historical perspective of the film by writer and illustrator Charlie Largent. About the AuthorAmerica'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. 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 Living Screenplay (TM) from "House on Haunted Hill." Follow him daily at www.williamcastle.com.

  • The Birth of Haptic Cinema
    The Birth of Haptic Cinema An Interactive Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by Panhavuth Lau Jordan Stoessel Date: May 21, 2020 Advisor: Brian Moriarty IMGD Professor of Practice Abstract This project examines the history of The Tingler (1959), the first motion picture to incorporate haptic (tactile) sensations. It surveys the career of its director, William Castle, a legendary Hollywood huckster famous for his use of gimmicks to attract audiences to his low- budget horror films. Our particular focus is Percepto!, the simple but effective gimmick created for The Tingler to deliver physical “shocks” to viewers. The operation, deployment and promotion of Percepto! are explored in detail, based on recently-discovered documents provided to exhibitors by Columbia Pictures, the film’s distributor. We conclude with a proposal for a method of recreating Percepto! for contemporary audiences using Web technologies and smartphones. i Contents Abstract .......................................................................................................................................... i Contents ........................................................................................................................................ ii 1.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • The Drink Tank So, This Is the First of Three Issues (Over the Next Year) Dedicated to the Amazing Podcast the Slums of Film History
    The Drink Tank So, this is the first of three issues (over the next year) dedicated to the amazing podcast The Slums of Film History. The cast is so good, and the host, Tom and Slate, were kind enough to do an excellent interview with me! There’s gonna be more than enough material. What is The Slums of Film History? It’s a high-brow look at the low-brow world of gross cin- ema, though more accurately, it’s about the world of cinema that is not the first one you think of. Call it alternative, underground, grindhouse, whatever, it’s the stuff that THOSE of your friends love, and the rest olf the world probably wishes didn’t exist. They have a formula—one of the two takes the topic and researches and comes up with an episode that they present to the other. It’s not merely a schooling, but more of a give and take scenario where both hosts play with one of them doing the driving. They have incredible chemistry, and that really helps. This issue has a look at the first two season, including a portion of the interview, a look at one of the films they spent a fair bit of time on, I DRINK YOUR BLOOD, and I cover each and every episode of the first two seasons. The next issue, coming out around the end of the year, will have more film reviews of films that the guys mention, a look at the third and fourth sea- sons, and more of our interview.

The famed comedians from the cult classic “Mystery Science Theater 3000” (MST3K)—Michael J.

  • HOUSE on HAUNTED HILL (1959) HOUSE of WAX (1953) Was a Stepping Stone in Vincent Price’S Career Path Towards Being a Horror Star
    HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1959) HOUSE OF WAX (1953) was a stepping stone in Vincent Price’s career path towards being a horror star. A second step along the way was THE FLY (1958), although he played the “straight” role, the brother of the man who got his head switched with a fly. Producer/director William Castle made a coup when he cast Vincent in HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1959). It was probably at this point that Vincent became a commodity in the horror genre. His character in HAUNTED HILL crystallizes the whole “Vincent Price Persona” – urbane, sophisticated, utilizing his smooth-as-velvet voice to convey menace, and tossing out sly comments on the macabre goings-on as they occur. The plot has Vincent playing an eccentric millionaire (really, is there any other kind?) who rents a haunted house for an evening so he and his wife can have a party. If the guests survive the night, which given the house’s history, is questionable, they will each be given a reward of $10,000, which was mega-bucks in 1959. Just to boost the odds against their survival, all of the guests are given a gun as a party favour, which of course increases the chances of someone in a panic shooting another guest. Sounds like fun, right? Price exchanges barbed quips with his wife. It’s clear they both hate each other. The movie takes a pretty dim view of marriage, like a low-rent version of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”, if George and Martha lived in a haunted house.

This Castle Will Never Fall.By verbosityA fabulous bio that manages to capture and sometimes cage a ferociously attractive subject. William Castle was the poor starry eyed boy who came to Hollywood to learn the biz and wound up dominating a huge chunk of it. Almost 40 years after his death, his work became more and more alive and his pictures continue enthralling generations. Castle believed enjoyment of a movie should begin weeks before the movie actually opened with sensationally canny smart advertising and promotion. He always delivered ten times more than he promised. Under his hustle and force, one clear focus was always visible - movies were meant to be enjoyable and entertaining and people should enjoy them as a part of being alive. From a nerve spark in the brain to an idea to a script, to the screen credits, he knew more about how to make movies than any human alive.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

  • Fantasyland/Aggieland
    FANTASYLAND/AGGIELAND: A Bibliographic History of Science Fiction and Fantasy at Texas A&M University and in Brazos County, Texas, 1913-1985. compiled by Bill Page College Station, TX 2007 Page 1 of 134 INTRODUCTION Bill Page None of the local activites before 1967 were part of any fannish organizations -- at least not as far as I can determine. There's really no way to pick an exact beginning date for the history of science fiction and fantasy in Brazos County. For example, Bryan had a book store by 1870. It probably sold an occasional fantasy or science fiction novel, such as The Tempest or Frankenstein. After the end of the Civil War, newspapers, including the Galveston News, could be purchased in the county, as were magazines such as Godey's Ladies Book and Leslies Illustrated Weekly. These carried an occasional sf/f story. Persons wanting to know more about the early history of newspapers, magazines, libraries, and literary societies in Brazos County should read the chapters "Libraries," "Lodges and Civic Organizations," and "Cultural History: The Arts and Recreation in the Nineteenth Century" in Brazos County History: Rich Past -- Bright Future. I'm not sure when the first fantasy or science fiction film was shown in the county. Movies came to Bryan at least as early as January 1897, when "the magniscope, Edison's latest and greatest invention in the way of vitascopes" appeared in the Grand Opera House. (See the Bryan Daily Eagle, January 28, 1897, p. 4, cols. 2, 6). Page 2 of 134 Additional Sources: Additional material on the fantastic at Texas A&M University after 1985 can be found in several sources.
