Macabre is a 1958 American horror film directed by William Castle, written by Robb White, and starring William Prince and Jim Backus. The film falls into both the horror and suspense genres.[3]
It involved one of Castle's first forays into using the promotional gimmicks that later made him famous.[4] A certificate for a $1,000 life insurance policy from Lloyd's of London was given to each customer in case they should die of fright during the film.[5]
