I'm still scratching my head over this one. This is a William Castle movie? I expected a hokey horror film along the lines of his entertaining cheesefests like "The Tingler" or "Homicidal." Instead what we have here is a third-rate children's Disney adventure with cast and soundtrack to match. None of Castle's reliable stable of writers and musicians seem to have participated. Castle somehow managed to attract decent character actors - Murray Hamilton ("The Graduate"), Hugh Marlowe ("All About Eve"), Norma Varden ("Strangers On a Train"), but they all look like they're taking part in Amateur Night In Dixie. You have to see this movie to believe how awful it is.
