In this tribute episode, Jeff and Richard discuss the life and career of William Castle. We're not sure how great a director he was, but he was definitely a great showman, using creative gimmicks to get butts in seats. We take an in-depth look at two of his films, Macabre (1958) and The Night Walker (1964) as we ride a roller coaster of success.
