I just purchased, "Macabre" and "The Spirit is Willing".

Has anyone seen either/both?

They are both directed by William Castle. I've seen both of them on TV, though not in recent years. Both have excellent casts. Macabre is played fairly straight. The Spirit is Willing attempts to be a romantic comedy, with supernatural overtones. The cast does its best but the material isn't the greatest.

Well, I went back and also got:

Stop Me Before I Kill Again!
The Snorkel
Never Take Candy from a Stranger
Maniac

and some other (this batch w/shipping was about $17). Both were purchased with Amazon GCs.

Of those four, I have only seen The Snorkel, on local TV quite a few years ago. As I recall, it was a decent little mystery with a couple of twists. No supernatural stuff.
