There’s not much to say by way of introduction to this pair of films.
Both are light and cheesy horror films that are long on spectacle and
short on story. The original was produced and directed by the master of
B-movie gimmicks, William Castle while the remake was produced by Dark
Castle Entertainment, a production house set up specifically the pay
homage to William Castle and to remake his pictures. The original has
been a late-night staple for decades now, while the remake is probably
regarded more poorly than it deserves. Though vastly different in
execution, both are a lot of fun.
