| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyAmateurish and crude, William Castle's film is better known for its aggressive publicity campaign. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsWhat Castle’s films lack in originality, they make up for in carnival energy and an eagerness to please. |
| Common Sense MediaNell MinowCheesy -- and gory -- classic; no young'uns. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt falters just as most of today's movies falter: too much emphasis on effects and not enough on characters. |
| Entertainment WeeklyGlenn KennyThe unconvincing wraiths appear whether you like it or not in this good-for-a-few-laughs feature. |
| Austin ChronicleJerry RenshawMainly remembered for its rather soggy haunted-house plot and the Master Showman's latest gimmick, the "Illusion-O" Ghost Viewer (a strip of colored plastic not unlike 3-D glasses which enabled audiences to see the ghosts on screen, or "remove" them when cowardice got the better of them). |
| The New York TimesHoward ThompsonIt's too bad Mr. Castle, in serving up his ghosts, didn't simply have some cartoonists draw, 'em on in full view. |
