Last Minute Sales & Specials

Collection includes: "13 Frigtened Girls", "13 Ghosts", "Homicidal", "Strait-Jacket", "Mr. Sardonicus", "The Old Dark House", "The Tingler" and "Zotz! Iconic horror director William Castle created a simple, but winning formula for his films: a little comedy, a lot of scares, a preposterous gimmick, and a clear sense that fright films should be fun. This even meant Castle would, like Hitchcock, appear in his trailers and even the movies themselves. Though his career spanned 35 years and included everything from westerns to crime thrillers, he'll always be remembered for his horror films from the late 50s to the mid-60s. And now Sony presents all eight of his Columbia features - three making their DVD debut, the rest newly-remastered - in one "spook-tac-ular" collection. And as a bonus, it includes the award-winning feature-length documentary, "Spine Tingler! The William Castle Story".
