"William Castle Film Collection" - $35.99 at Amazon
Just saw that this was reduced to $35.99 and I quickly ordered a copy.
It's $89.95 retail, so it's a pretty good price.

I ordered one yesterday, there are TONS of great box sets on sale. I wish I could afford more, but Black Friday cleaned me out.

Im sorry but... why do you think this is a huge deal?

Just asking to know, im not being ironic or sth like it.

The deal is not for five movies, it is for 8 as well as a feature length documentary about William Castle. If you count the doc as a film, which I do, it's $4 a movie. Not bad in my book.

And even if it were only 5 movies, "Zotz!", "The Old Dark House", and "13 Frightened Girls" are only available in this set and I believe a couple of the others are OOP as single releases... so if you are a Castle fan this is the way to go, especially at the current price.

I already have 2 of the movies (Homicidal and Strait-Jacket), so I'll pass.
The only other movie I want that he directed is called, "I Saw What you Did", but that was made for Universal studios and wouldn't be included on this Sony set.

I have to confess I like the idea and legend of William Castle and his movies a lot more than the actual movies, but I SAW WHAT YOU DID is pretty amazing.

Plus we got two episodes of a Castle-directed TV series as well, so not only is it a way to sell some lesser movies that never got a single release, it might be a way for Sony to test the waters when it comes to putting out a series.
That said, I don't see why this boxset really needs to be anymore than $35. Castle is brilliant, but honestly the set isn't that comprehensive enough for such a high price.
