Baron Sardonicus Pins and Buttons
Description: If you think I'm posting all these movie Monsters & maniacs without touching on at least one classic from the master, Willliam Castle, yer nuts. Here is the inimitable Mr. Sardnoicus from the movie with the same name. If you don't know how William Castle is, you must immediately seek out his movies and watch them fervent glee.
Description: William Castle was one of Hollywood’s greatest showmen and most influential filmmakers. He came to the attention of Columbia Pictures for his talent for promotion and was hired. He learned the trade of filmmaking and became a director, acquiring a reputation for the ability to churn out competent B-movies quickly and on budget. He eventually struck out on his own, producing and directing thrillers, which, despite their low budgets, he effectively promoted using gimmicks, a trademark for which he is best known.
