The Movie: 13 Ghosts (1960)
What Is It?: William
Castle didn’t need his Illusion-O gimmick (a pair of goofy glasses necessary for
viewing the apparitions on screen) to sell a haunted house flick so fun. A
running joke that finds everyone accusing Margaret Hamilton of being a witch
will tickle Wizard of Oz fans (i.e.:
everyone).
Why Today?: On
this day in 1902, Margaret Hamilton is born.
