Viewing Notes

Halloween is here! So I need to finish this month with horror films, natch. I recorded William Castle’s Strait-Jacket (1964) from TCM thanks to their Castle marathon. Hadn’t seen this one and it’s just as good as advertised. Joan Crawford could always portray the best psychotic bitches on screen. Nice mystery vibe amidst the small town charm. But with some powerfully horrific moments.
