Personal Quote:
We all have a common interest: bigger and more horrible monsters--and I'm just the monster to bring them to you.Trivia:
He purchased the film rights to Ira Levin's novel "Rosemary's Baby", but Paramount Pictures would give him the green light for the project only if he didn't direct--the studio feared that his reputation as a director of low-budget gimmick horror films would harm the project. Roman Polanski was finally selected to direct while Castle, as producer, was allowed to make a significant cameo appearance. See more »Trademark:
Directed low-budget B-movies, yet over-the-top gimmicks in both production and promotion. See more »Star Sign:
