While every day is Halloween for me, this time of year brings out the best in a lot of free television and movie websites like Crackle.com.
This week, I delivered a series of articles about horror movies for Crackle.com from a fan’s perspective. Today, you can read about the classic horror film 13 Ghosts, which was produced by William Castle. For those of you who have seen the modern remake starring Tony Shaloub, I highly recommend you check out the original in black-and-white.
If you’re interested in a sneak peek, be sure to check out this paragraph. Here, I’m talking about the very first time I saw the Zorba’s new house in 13 Ghosts:
The first time I saw their new house, I remembered what I love about black-and-white horror movies. To me, haunted houses give a filmmaker the opportunity to really emphasize its towering windows, hidden passageways and heavy draperies using shades of black-and-white. Of course, the somber housekeeper really added to the mood, too. The second I saw Elaine Zacharides, I thought, “That has to be the Wicked Witch of the West.” And, it was! Played by Margaret Hamilton, Buck even accused her character of being a witch when he first saw her. — SOURCE: A Fan’s Guide to Scary Movies: 13 Ghosts
