Macabre

I have always been familiar with this word since my mom was always using it in Spanish in reference to extremely fearful things. So when I encountered it in English, I understood it immediately. There is a 1950's film called Macabre.

Macabre is a 1958 American horror film directed by William Castle, written by Robb White, and starring William Prince and Jim Backus. The film falls into both the horror and suspense genres.

It involved one of Castle's first forays into using the promotional gimmicks that later made him famous. A certificate for a $1,000 life insurance policy from Lloyd's of London was given to each customer in case they should die of fright during the film.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Radrook Admin: Yes, sooner or later this entire website will disappear with everything posted on it for lack of finding someone to take over when I croak. But it won't be because you folks are refusing to respond. That I can guarantee. Feb 26, 2023 7:10:41 GMT -5

Radrook Admin: That's one reason why I stopped providing long insights into the chess games I play. It's like speaking to the wall. Feb 26, 2023 7:06:45 GMT -5

Radrook Admin: Funny how I can have approx. 400 people at one point browsing, and not one of them wants to give feedback nor participate in any way manner or form. Not even a simple click with a like. Feb 26, 2023 7:03:49 GMT -5

Radrook Admin: Funny how these discussion forums were all the rage once until Twitter and YouTube and other such discussion venues came along. Feb 13, 2023 8:40:52 GMT -5

Radrook Admin: I wish visitors would say something instead of just reading and leaving in silence. Or at the least, at least have the courtesy to rate the material. Feb 4, 2023 21:26:37 GMT -5

Radrook Admin: Thinking that doctors are beyond criticism no matter what is a cultural trait I do not share. Feb 3, 2023 12:48:59 GMT -5

Radrook Admin: Reporting physician malpractice might save someone else from getting murdered. Jan 31, 2023 9:10:52 GMT -5

Radrook Admin: Funny how nobody believes you when you describe physician malpractice until it happens to them-isn't it. Jan 30, 2023 21:13:57 GMT -5

Radrook Admin: Just restored the History section. Hopefully this one won't disappear like the last one did. Jan 25, 2023 16:37:13 GMT -5
