"The Screaming Skull" is your typical 1950s horror flick: some newlyweds move into the husband's house, where his deceased wife's skull may or may be not be ready to terrorize the new wife. I assume that when it first came out, the teenage boys really liked the scene where...well, you'll recognize it when you see it. If anything, this movie's most interesting aspect is that cinematographer Floyd Crosby is David Crosby's father. Back in 1958 when the movie got released, who ever would have guessed that the cinematographer's son would perform at Woodstock eleven years later? The trailer reminds you that if you die of fright while watching the movie, they'll pay for your funeral. As you can see, I didn't die while watching it. Director Alex Nicol plays the gardener; or, as I wish to call him (playing off of a recent Oscar winner), the non-constant gardener.
