Viewing Notes
More pregame / prep for Dark Castle day this weekend. Thought for sure I had seen this but it’s not logged here so perhaps I watched this before the days of tallying? Parts of this I recall but may have it mixed up with other Vincent Price films. Since it not logged I can count it towards my 31 Days of Horror for the month!
This is a very cool horror film and kinda made me wish that the 2005 remake followed this path in the story (but I’m also glad they did something entirely different). Was neat to see Carolyn Jones (Morticia Addams) but the bigger surprise was recognizing the chiseled face of Charlie Bronson.
