Viewing Notes

Was plodding around the home in anticipation of tonight’s annual Halloween Horror Movie Night. Homicidal (1961) was running on TCM as part of a William Castle marathon. Have dug this flick from the first time I saw it because it’s so damn creepy. Knowing the story makes rewatching it all the more interesting. Love love love the reveal.
