I Saw What You Did (1965)

I Saw What You Did movie storyline. With true William Castle-style flamboyance the advertisements for I Saw What You Did intrigued non-etymologically inclined audiences by warning them that this suspenseful thriller was about uxoricide. He then had some of the theaters where the film was shown equipped with seat belts so frightened audience members wouldn’t flee the theater in a panic. It was a spooky film, but wasn’t all that scary.
