He was just another movie director… until he found himself a gimmick.
Spine Tingler! The William Castle Story (2007) follows the life and career of William Castle, the irrepressible filmmaker whose showmanship and inventive publicity stunts transformed low-budget horror into interactive spectacle. As archival footage and recollections from collaborators and admirers trace his rise from obscurity to cult prominence, his blend of theatrical gimmickry and genuine affection for genre cinema comes sharply into focus. This documentary biography blends genre history and affectionate analysis in a lively portrait of a horror impresario.
