Macabre (Castle)/Fun Facts

• The first of William Castle's "gimmick" films. In this one, admission included a $1000 Fright Insurance Policy against "death by fright" issued by Lloyd's of London.

• During its initial theatrical release, attendees were given a small badge that said, "I'm no chicken. I saw 'Macabre'."

• The narrator of the trailer mispronounces the title of the movie, pronouncing it "Ma-cob-ra" instead of the correct "Ma-cob." (Correction: most dictionaries give both pronunciations, and the way the narrator pronounces it is closer to the original French word.)

• Film debut of Jacqueline Scott.
