The man surely was a genius of his time. May be all his dedicated efforts or "gimmicks" criticized at that time but honestly I found them very creative and fantastic tool as an added entertainment for the audience in theater. After watching The Tingler, I wish I could go back on time & had its rare theatrical experience. He did have the soul of a showman for sure which proves his great devotion towards his audience and true love for the celluloid in those period of times when there was no 3D...no IMAX extravaganza.
Anyway, this has been a great year for me so far as I finally able to get lucky enough to see some great classic horror films for the first time. Among them there were 5 films of Castle and personally I admire all of them. But like NE, The Tingler is the most favorite of mine too. This lovely film has a very original concept. The idea of Tingler really fascinated me. Nonetheless, that chilling color blood bathtub scene was unforgettable...I think it should regard as one of the most/best memorable sequences in the history of Horror cinema.
After Tingler, the other Castle films I have seen are as follows (in order of my likeness):
2. House on Haunted Hill
3. Strait-Jacket
4. I saw what you did
5. Homicidal
And hopefully soon going to watch 13 GHOSTS for the first time.:o
Btw, soon or later I'll definitely have that Castle Collection in my shelf for sure.
