"Straight-Jacket" free screening tonight

Tonight (Saturday), there is a FREE screening of “Straight-Jacket,” a 1964 horror film starring Joan Crawford and Diane Baker. It looks like it will be an unintentional howler about axe murders. If you thought Faye Dunaway was overacting in “Mommie Dearest,” this will show that she was probably underplaying it. I don’t expect her to be playing an unsympathetic character, but some inside information about the movie can be gotten from “Spine Tingler,” a documentary about William Castle, the producer who made those big shlock/shock horror films. See the “Spine Tingler” post for more.
