William Castle is really under-rated, IMO, because of his use of gimmicks, but this film shows he could make a really scary movie!

Totally Agree, he's pretty under-rated! And yeah..I have read in some reviews and also from the trailer came to know that during the original theatrical release of
I Saw What You Did, some theaters installed seat-belts so the audience couldn't be "shocked out of their seat"! (plus little shock for
The Tingler audience):) I think those 'gimmicks' were pretty amusing & creative, at least he tried in his own way & he tried his best every time to give something extra to entertain his audience more & more. What a rarely talented & caring filmmaker he was! Yeah..perhaps we're now having the ultimate fun & entertainment of watching a movie at the theater with the magnificent touch of technological developments but behind the curtain, today there is no one or will ever be like William Castle or Sir Alfred Hitchcock.
