Gimmick king William Castle added a "Fear Break" before the climax of "Homicidal" (1961), a gender-bending horror tale about a woman who pays a hotel bellhop to marry her, then murders the justice of the peace before plotting to gain a family inheritance. Jean Arless (aka actress Joan Marshall), Glenn Corbett star. Next, "Mr. Sardonicus" (1961) tells of a greedy 19th-century count whose face froze in a grimace after he defiled his father's grave to retrieve a winning lottery ticket. Guy Rolfe stars. Then, the murder of a Russian spy could spell trouble for the female students of a Swiss boarding school, in "13 Frightened Girls!" (1963). Kathy Dunn, Murray Hamilton star. AKA: "The Candy Web." And, a woman (Joan Crawford) who spent 20 years in the booby hatch for the axe murders of her husband and his love finally finds peace--until dead bodies start popping, in "Strait-Jacket" (1964), a classic Castle shocker penned by Robert Bloch ("Psycho"). Five-disc set also includes "The Tingler," "13 Ghosts" (1960), "Zotz!," and "The Old Dark House" (1963). 11 1/2 hrs. total. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; featurettes; theatrical trailers; alternate openings; bonus "Ghost Story" episodes; more.
