John Waters, Roger Corman, Leonard Maltin, John Landis, Joe Dante, John Badham, Stuart Gordon, Marcel Marceau, Darryl Hickman, Forrest J Ackerman
Originally produced by Automat Pictures in 2008.
Throughout the 1950's and 60's, William Castle produced and directed a series of horror films marked by their outrageous audience participation gimmicks. Castle treated moviegoers to buzzing seats, flying skeletons, luminescent ghosts and life insurance policies — and they loved every minute of it. SPINE TINGLER! is a documentary about the last great American showman. It is a rags to riches tale of a legend of exploitation and master of self-promotion, yet a man privately plagued by a fear of failure and a desperate desire to be respected among his peers.
