A fantastic documentary about the Hollywood showman who's attempts to innovate the horror genre mark an age in cinema where horror could be fun as well as scary. The comprehensive film embodies the jovial spirit of the filmmaker's well-known pictures and gimmicks. Castle was one of the last filmmakers to elevate the cinematic experience through the use of external media and publicity.
In recent years, his efforts have influenced film's integration with social media. But there's something magical about true showmanship that technology cannot fully replace. Whether the gimmicks scared audiences or not was besides the point. The filmmaker's passion and lust for entertainment seemed to carry over to his audiences, who had a grand ol' time.
