Welina hou mai i kahi puke hou o Horror in Black and White! I kēia pule, hoʻopili mākou i nā bonkers William Castle maoli, Pālule-ʻahuʻula!

He kāne ʻo William Castle me kahi hoʻolālā, a iā ia ʻaʻohe ona hoʻolālā, loaʻa iā ia kahi gimmick. ʻO kēia ke kāne, ma hope o nā mea āpau, nāna i hoʻokau nā mīkini uila i nā noho hale keaka ʻO ka Tingler e hāʻawi i nā lālā o ka poʻe hoʻolohe i kahi leʻaleʻa – ma ke ʻano maoli – i ka wā o nā hiʻina nui a i hoʻohana i ka “Illusion-O” i ka wā 13 ʻUhane ka mea i hāʻawi i ka poʻe hoʻolohe i ka mana e koho inā ʻike lākou i nā ʻuhane ma ka kānana ʻaʻole paha.

Pālule-ʻahuʻula kaena i ka gimmick nui loa o lākou āpau, eia naʻe: ʻo Joan Crawford.

OK, ʻaʻole maoli…

Ua hāʻawi ʻia i nā lālā o ka poʻe lohe i nā koʻi lūlū hoʻopuni ke komo lākou i ka hale keaka e ʻike Pālule-ʻahuʻula, akā no kaʻu kālā, ʻo Joan Crawford ka gimmick nui loa, a ʻo ke keikikāne, he doozy kēlā.

Pālule-ʻahuʻula haʻi i ka moʻolelo o Lucy Harbin (Crawford), i ka home i kekahi pō e ʻike i kāna kāne (Lee Majors) i kahi moe me kekahi wahine ʻē aʻe. Huhū a huhū ʻole ʻo ia, lālau ʻo ia i kahi koʻi lipi, kokolo mālie i loko o ka lumi moe, me ka ʻike ʻole e nānā ana kāna kaikamahine, e ʻokiʻoki i nā poʻo o lāua ʻelua.

Hoʻouna ʻia ʻo Lucy i kahi asylum no 20 mau makahiki, a ʻo kāna kaikamahine ʻo Carol, hānai ʻia e kona ʻanakē a me kona ʻanakala. Ke neʻe nei ke kiʻi i mua i ka manawa, ʻo Diane Baker, ka mea e pāʻani ma hope ʻo Senator Ruth Martin Ka hāmau o nā keiki hipa, ua makua ʻo Carol a mākaukau e male i ke kāne o kāna mau moemoeā, ʻo Michael (John Anthony Hayes).

Nui ka waiwai o ko Mikaʻohana ʻohana, akā ʻaʻole ʻo Mikaʻela a me lākou, ʻike i ka wā ma mua o Carol. I ka hōʻea ʻana o Lucy, puka mai ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, a lohi ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ko lākou honua e wehe a hoʻomaka nā kino e ahu.

Ua hele mai ke kiʻi ʻelua mau makahiki wale nō ma hope He aha ka mea i loaʻa iā Baby Jane? a me Castle, me ka manaʻo e loaʻa kālā ma kā Crawford hoʻopiʻi ʻana i nā poʻe ʻōpio i ʻike iā ia ma o kēlā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni a i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai kāna mau kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e hoʻokani hou ma ke kīwī.

ʻO ka lawe ʻana iā Crawford ʻaʻole i hele mai me ka ʻole o kāna, e ʻōlelo paha mākou, nā hoʻokolokolo a me nā pilikia.

Ua kākau ʻia ka ʻāpana a hoʻolei ʻia me Joan Blondell (Alina ʻAilima). Minamina, pono ʻo ia e haʻalele i ka papahana ma hope o kahi ulia, a ua lawe ʻia ʻo Crawford e pani iā ​​ia.

Ua ʻae ka Joan hou e pāʻani i ke kuleana, akā ua koi pū ʻia e ʻae i ka palapala a kahi kākau hou, e hoʻololi ana i ka hopena a me ke kiʻi o kāna ʻano.

Ua hakakā ʻo ia a lanakila i ka hoʻokomo huahana o Pepsi ma ka papa kīhini. No ka poʻe ʻike ʻole, ua male ʻo Crawford i ka mea hoʻokumu a me CEO o ka ʻoihana a ʻo ka hoʻolimalima ʻana iā Crawford ʻo ia hoʻi ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka soda, ʻo ka mea maʻa mau loa ma hope.

Eia naʻe, i kēia hihia o Pālule-ʻahuʻula ʻo ia hoʻi ka hoʻolei ʻana iā Mitchell Cox, ka Hope Pelekikena o Pepsi, ʻo ia kekahi o nā kauka mua o Lucy nāna i kipa aku iā ia ma hope o kona haʻalele ʻana i ka hale noho. Ua hana ʻia kēia, e like me ka lono, me ka ʻike ʻole o Castle.

He nui ka poʻe i hōʻino iā Crawford i nā makahiki i hala aku nei, a ʻaʻohe mea like me kāna kaikamahine ponoʻī ʻo Christina, akā maikaʻi wau aia kekahi mau kāne e koi nei i kēlā mau koi i kēlā manawa ʻaʻole i like ka like me ia.

E like me kaʻu i hoʻomaopopo ai ma mua, he bonkers kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, akā loaʻa kona mau manawa. Hoʻohana maikaʻi ʻia ka mālamalama a me ke aka ma aneʻi, a ʻo ka laulā ʻeleʻele a me ke keʻokeʻo e hoʻonui wale i kēlā mau hohonu hohonu.

Aloha nui wau i kēlā mau hiʻohiʻona wehe ke komo ʻo Crawford i loko o ka lumi moe a me nā pā kamera i ka paia kahi a mākou e ʻike ai e hāpai ana i ke koʻi i ke aka. Lawe nui ʻo ia iā ia i lalo, a ʻike mākou i ke aka o ke poʻo o kāna kāne e lele ana mai kahi moe mai kēlā hahau ikaika hoʻokahi.

He maʻalahi kūlohelohe ʻo Crawford lāua ʻo Baker me kekahi ma ka pale, ʻoiai i nā manawa o ka haunaele. Ke aniani nei ka maka o ka wahine ʻōpio i ka mea makua, a hiki iā lāua ke hōʻea i kēlā mau wahi melodramatic maka, ʻoi loa o ka kiʻekiʻe i kā lākou hana.

Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻohe mea i alo e like me Crawford ma ka pakuhi. Hoʻokomo maoli ʻia nā maka o ka poʻe e nānā iā ia me he mea lā e nā mākēneki, a no kāna nui a pau, ʻoiai i kahi kiʻi like Pālule-ʻahuʻula aia nā manawa nani o ka mālie kahi āna e ʻike ʻole ai e hanu a ʻoluʻolu mākou e hoʻopaʻa i ko mākou hanu me ia.

Mālama maikaʻi kēlā noho mālie iā ia i nā manawa hope loa o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, kahi e pāʻani pono ai e like me ka uhi ʻana i ʻike ʻia e kahi mea pohihihi Perry Mason.

Ua wehe ʻia ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i nā loiloi kāwili ʻia me nā mea he nui e mahalo ana i kā Crawford hana i ka wā e panning ana i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni.

"Ua piha wau i ka mahalo no Joan Crawford," i kākau ai ʻo Elaine Rothschild i loko Nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i ka loiloi, "No ka mea, ʻoiai e like me kēia, hāʻawi ʻo ia i kahi hana."

Eia nō naʻe, ʻo Castle ke kāne me kahi gimmick, a inā ʻoe e koho i nā koʻi lula a i ʻole Crawford e hōʻike ola nei i kekahi mau loiloi, ua holo ka hoʻolālā, a he pahu pahu ia i kū.

Hiki iāʻoe keʻike Pālule-ʻahuʻula ma nā ʻano o nā lawelawe kahe, a inā ʻaʻole ʻoe, pono maoli nō!

E nānā i ka trailer ma lalo!
