    I love William Castle. He was definitely more a showman than a director, and you can tell he absolutely relished giving his audience a thrill. Its sad that he ended up a victim of his reputation: He still dreamed of being a serious Hollywood filmmaker later in his career, and tried to make it happen by directing Rosemary's Baby. But the financier knew having Castle as director would send the wrong message and insisted on Roman Polanski. In the end, Castle settled for a producer credit, and also has a Hitchcock-esque cameo in the film. Just another way Castle helped influence the horror genre, even late in his career.

    I cannot think of an abundance of films where that cliche statement applied. It didn't apply to any of the cornerstone slasher films. It didn't apply to any of the universal monster flicks. It didn't apply to any of George Romero's Living dead films. Or a number of others. The statement itself is a cliche, but the content behind it is far from it.

    House on Haunted Hill ('99) is actually one of my favorite movies. It hits my sweetspot for campy/legitimately scary that other movies don't really hit for me. (I attribute it to 80% of the crew being Tales From the Crypt veterans). I love the cast, the look, the score is MAGNIFICENT... seriously go listen to "The Price Petard". Not to mention- The doctors looking at Melissa on her camcorder and Jeffrey Combs shaking and speed walking through the security monitor footage are all-time scares for me. ALSO, the Rorschach ink blot ghost made of naked woman is such an insane design, I've always been able to overlook the 90s CGI. It's just so wonderfully weird and for where the film is set, it feels relatively diegetic.

    I come from a household that adores Vincent Price, House on Haunted Hill was my first ever introduction to him. Ever since that day I have also gained a fascination for the man, he was a true marvel. Accomplished actor, world class chef, esteemed art collector, LGBT supporter, and even a keen ally of Native and Mexican Americans. He was a truly amazing man, I wish that I lived at a point of time in which I could sincerely thank him for his work, and for how he pretty much led me to a path of horror I never would have discovered otherwise. Well, even if he isn’t with us anymore I just want to say, Thank you, Vinny, for being a role model for me, for bringing me to an older era, for showing me that there is a brightness in the dark, even if that sounds hokey it’s true, I appreciate you, and I hope there will be more like you. Thank you so much, Mr. Price.

    I agree. It's not exactly perfect, but it looks quite alien, odd, and not quite of (or entirely IN) this world. They used it well and when it would be effective, not willy-nilly all over the place, and the actual design is rad if you ask me. Then again, I also have a much higher tolerance for bad CGI than practical effects, oddly, so it probably wouldn't bother me even if it were legitimately awful...

    Starting off the year with some William Castle. NICE! I really enjoyed both versions of the movie. The Original with Vincent Price and it's can't be yet spooky charm. And I like the remake for it cast of characters, including Geoffrey Rush, and it's schlocky campy funny.

    That remake is genuinely disturbing. The part where the guy in the camera room gets turned around and his head is just hollowed out, still gets me when I see it. And how there’s usually a constant barrage of whispers in the basement that the characters don’t react to at all. Makes me feel like we’re clued in to the true reality of the situation

  • @EmDub01

    Glad you finally talked about these because the remake traumatized me when I was younger, and your calm and often humorous demeanor really help. Specifically, the camcorder scene with the ghost standing still in the hallway and the following closeup jumpscare was burned into my brain as a kid when I was stuck at my grandparents’ house and this happened to be on tv while I was all alone, and even though you showed the jump scare 3 times in this video I felt more mentally prepared to visit the scene as an adult and really confront it. It still terrifies me tbh, but I don’t feel as helpless as I did in my youth, rather I’m fascinated with it. It’s like when you finally see the monster for what it is, and you become less afraid of it, especially now that I am older. This video has kinda helped put some of that childhood trauma to rest.

I really hope you will cover that some day, it not only has extremely skilled and unique cinematography the pacing is highly tense with superb acting. It also happens to be based on a must-read classic by Shirley Jackson that I've read at least five times over the decades.

Some of them are a bit hit and miss, but my favourite two I've seen so far are Witchfinder General and Theatre of Blood. One is Vincent Price terrifying in his portrayal of Matthew Hopkins, the other is prime camp Price. Could you do a video on these two polar opposites in terms of Vincent Price performances?

It really disturbed me, but I loved the Marilyn Manson + Silent Hill style it had (that now I see it comes from Jacob's Ladder), hell, I still really like this style, unfortunately it got sooo overused that no one can stand it any longer. I watched again a few years ago, and I still enjoyed it, although it was a bit disappointing for me. They made a sequel of the remake, but I can't remember a thing about it.
