Title: OT: Shades of STRANGE PARADISE
Post by: Gothick on February 10, 2017, 01:30:28 AM
In my time on Youtube, recently I have noticed that a lot of films we used to see on Creature Feature type programs when I was growing up in the 1960s are suddenly available on this venue in their entirety.  I wonder if this has to do with a lot of these films going into public domain.

A friend mentioned CASTLE OF EVIL (1966).  The end credits imply it was made for TV, but it may have had a brief theatrical distribution--don't know.  This one had a couple of elements that reminded me of STRANGE PARADISE, notably sinister housekeeper Lupe (played by Shelley Morrison, who is best known now for her role as Rosario on WILL & GRACE) watching the other guests at the titular castle on a closed circuit TV system.  I think most DS fans would enjoy this kind of thing, even though it's probably at best a 2 star movie; I know I had fun with it.
