Talk:The Screaming Skull

Inspired by F. Marion Crawford's short story?
I see that http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052169/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv repeats the idea that Crawford's story inspired this script, but I don't see the resemblance. The whole story can be read at http://gaslight.mtroyal.ca/scremskl.htm Perhaps the only thing they share is the title? Has John Kneubuhl confirmed this? Thanks!

This is good work. Fair and considered. Thanks. Mag Wildwood (talk) 12:30, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Inspiration for free burial gimmick
"inspired by a gimmick added by William Castle in his film The Tingler (1959)" How could it be inspired by something from a movie released the next year? --Khajidha (talk) 11:24, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Just what the sources say. I'm assuming that since Castle was known for his gimmicks (his previous films all had them) this one was unveiled early.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 14:07, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Someone needs to double check the sources for more details, we shouldn't have to assume anything. --Khajidha (talk) 14:28, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Currently, it is suggested "The Screaming Skull" got its free burial if you die of fright from the "Macabre" offer of life insurance against death by fright. The release date of "The Screaming Skull" is listed as Jan 1958. The release date of "Macabre" is listed as Mar 1958 but its production dates were Jul-Aug 1957. But that does not tell us when the promotional campaigns were started. -- Naaman Brown (talk) 21:56, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
