William Castle Week continues...



After crime films, b-westerns, 3-D
Castle put “Macabre” on the marquee
Movie patrons, who dared
And expired, so scared
Were insured for a grand --not tax-free

--Skeletons will emerge!
--Feel a butt-buzzing surge!
Hoo-boy, was that Castle a pill!

Welcome to William Castle Week, celebrating the B-movie master of cinematic gimmicks and thrills in rhyme and verse, from now until next Sunday!

Chock full of suspense on parade!

High Lang-xiety

Please pity child-murderer, "M"
From madness his actions all stem
As played by Pete Lorre
We hear his sad story
While underworld seeks to condemn

At four in the morning I wake
Alone as the bed starts to shake

From deep space came a being named "Gleethe"
Sorely needing pure methane to breathe
He met the late "Billy"
Who died eating chili
Atmosphere, from his rear, Bill bequeath

Don't Raise the Brigitte, Lower the Bar--d'oh!

Sex-kitten-turned-hag named Bardot
spewed slurs from her lips in a flow
Ex VIVA MARIA's
foul tongued diarrheas
may end in "Le Guan-tan-amo"!

There once was a clumsy baboon
Who's head got stuck in a spittoon
Though he struggled and strained
On his skull, it remained
So he shrugged, and then joined a platoon

Pick Up Line 32a

Asked of a lady, "What'sh your biz'nesh?"
She said CPA
Which caused him to say,
"I thought you looked 1040ish."

Paul Frees had a voice he could vary
So far and beyond ordinary
As dubber, narrator
Cartoon vox creator
To this day, he remains, legendary

Then Shame Bronson

There once was a Bronson named Chuck
Whose fame in the world ran amuck
He hawked the scent "MAN-DOM"
Throughout all Japan-dom
This ad, past the U.S., he snuck:

The Dice Harvest

If in Vegas, the word gets around
That your craps winning-streak isn't sound
Baby's new pair o' shoes
Is the least that you'll lose
'Neath the desert, you'll never be found…

Venture Capitol

by Backthrow

Of the non-vocal groups I could name
There is one that most merits its fame
All types dig The Ventures
From diapers to dentures
Few other bands can claim the same
