MACABRE!

At long last the horrifying William Castle (1914-1977) classic is available in all it’s remastered glory. Macabre was the first of this genius’s films. He went on to make House on Haunted Hill (1959), The Tingler (1959) and 13 Ghosts (1960) which are classics and beloved by generations of B movie fans.
