I Saw What You Did Blu-ray Movie
Shout Factory | 1965 | 82 min | Not rated | May 17, 2016 | Dr. Stephen Larson
"Don't laugh little girl Better run for your life. The man you just talked to Has just murdered his wife!" When two teenagers make prank phone calls to strangers, they become the target for terror when they whisper "I saw what you did" to a psychopath who has just murdered his wife. I SAW WHAT YOU DID features a cavalcade of William Castle-style shocks, plus a gloriously over-the-top performance by Joan Crawford as the killer's desperately amorous neighbor. Producer/director William Castle, known as Hollywood's Greatest Showman, had theaters showing the film equipped with special "Shock Sections" for faint-of-heart patrons, and proudly boasted that the movie instigated a nationwide epidemic of crank calls by America's teens.
