Homicidal (Columbia Pictures, 1961)
William Castle's "homage" to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho - but nonetheless a pretty cool knock off that I won't spoil here. The "Fright Break" gimmick is a pretty cost conscious one for Castle - probably the cheapest one he ever pulled off!
Hero and the Terror (Cannon International, 1988)
Another of the 125 movies I saw during those sixty golden days I spent in Florida in 1988. It's one of those handful of Chuck Norris movies that edge him close to horror movie territory - with Our Hero pitted against a hulking homicidal maniac (Jack O'Halloran). Any horror fans reading this who normally skip Chuck's movies - might want to check this one out...
Rocket Attack, U.S.A. (Joseph Brenner Associates, 1961)
I know pretty much nothing about this one - but man I love this poster!
Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!
The "Coward's Corner." What a great idea. LOL

Deletewhoops, one of the veeery few MMPMs with 3 movies I haven't heard of yet.
ReplyDeleteThe "Fright Break" is hilarious, William Castle was a 'genius' :D
He was indeed! You should track down more of his flicks for the Horror Movie Diary!
