William Castle (April 24, 1914 – May 31, 1977) was an American film director, producer, screenwriter, and actor.
Orphaned at 11, Castle dropped out of high school at 15 to work in the theater. He came to the attention of Columbia Pictures for his talent for promotion, and was hired. He learned the trade of filmmaking and became a director, acquiring a reputation for the ability to churn out competent B-movies quickly and on budget. He eventually struck out on his own, producing and directing thrillers which, despite their low budgets, were effectively promoted with gimmicks, a trademark for which he is best known. He was also the producer for Rosemary's Baby.
Castle was born William Schloss, Jr. in New York City, the son of Saidie (Snellenberg) and William Schloss. His family was Jewish. ("Schloss" is German for "castle", and Castle later translated his surname into English as his pseudonym.) His mother died when he was nine. When his father followed a year later, he was left an orphan at the age of 11. He then lived with his older sister.
A quick look at some of the infamous gimmicks that producer and director William Castle used to promote his films, from the man himself.

In depth biography and filmography of the cinematic masters of the past. Today we're talking about William Castle. William Castle was an American film director, producer, screenwriter, and actor. Orphaned at 11, Castle dropped out of high school at 15 to work in the theater. He came to the attention ofColumbia Pictures for his talent for promotion, and was hired.

William Castle was the last great American showman, a movie director and master of ballyhoo who became a brand name with his outrageous audience participation gimmicks -- buzzing seats, flying skeletons, luminescent ghosts and life insurance policies. But behind the bravado was a man driven by fear of failure and a longing to be respected among his peers. Starring John Waters, John Landis, Terry Castle, Diane Baker, Roger Corman, Joe Dante, Stuart Gordon, John Badham, Marcel Marceau, Fred Olen Ray, Leonard Maltin, Forrest J Ackerman Produced and Directed by Jeffrey Schwarz Buy the Special Edition DVD here! tinyurl.com/SpineTinglerDVD Buy the Official Soundtrack Album here! tinyurl.com/iTunesSpineTingler
Previews of several films by William Castle for Mr. Sardonicus, The Old Dark House, Homicidal, Zotz!, House on Hauted Hill, Macabre This was included on a public domain DVD of two Vincent Price Films, "The Last Man on Earth" and "House on Haunted Hill" acmedvdworks pressing, so I assume it's in public domain as well (although actual movies featured in this preview may not be).
Once described by John Waters as “the greatest showman of our time,” director William Castle best embodied that title with HOMICIDAL, his 1961 classic that introduced the first-ever “Fright Break” -- a 45-second opportunity before the film’s climactic ending for too-terrified audience members to leave for the lobby and have their admission refunded. Castle later added a “Coward’s Corner” to discourage viewers from taking him up on his offer. The Packard Humanities Institute Collection is the largest known acquisition of theatrical trailers on film, deposited at the Archive by David Packard in 2009. This historically significant collection contains over 60,000 moving images and has transformed the Academy Film Archive into the world’s foremost repository of motion picture trailers. Learn...
Made-for-TV remake of 1960's William Castle film is actually an improvement on the original. Two high school girls play phone pranks, not realizing that the man they just called committed a murder and that he thinks they're witnesses. Shawnee Smith should have been a star based on her performances in this and The Blob.
Stars Vincent Price (Frederick Loren), Carol Ohmart (Annabelle Loren), Richard Long (Lance Schroeder), Alan Marshal (Dr. David Trent), Carolyn Craig (Nora Manning), Elisha Cook Jr. (Watson Pritchard), Julie Mitchum (Ruth Bridgers), Leona Anderson (Mrs. Slydes), Howard Hoffman (Jonas), and Skeleton as himself. http://sketchbook.ercles.com/play.html

I found this "lost" episode of Dead Air while making room on my hard drive. This is basically a rough cut of an episode, the background hasn't been added, the sound hasn't been corrected, and there is no musical or sound cues present in the video. We shot this episode back in June of 2011, and here it is a full year later before this video finally saw the light of day. As you may realize while watching, there is a reason these "lost episodes" were lost. However, as just a fun little extra, they might be fun to watch for a few of you. I hope you enjoy a Dead Air Spotlight on William Castle -- the king of the low budget gimmick mov...
