TRUCOS PUBLICITARIOS Y EFECTOS ESPECIALES EN EL CINE DE WILLIAM CASTLE DURANTE EL PERÍODO 1958-1961

Abstract

This article analyses William Castle’s film production from 1958 to 1961, a period that includes the release of his independent horror movies Macabre, House on Haunted Hill, The Tingler, 13 Ghosts, Homicidal and Mr. Sardonicus. To do so, this case study is developed with a diachronic approach to learn about the gimmicks that the filmmaker applied to such movies, as well as the special effects integrated in them, with the aim of endorsing its technological and socio-cultural legacy in the history of cinema.
