When two teenagers make prank phone calls to strangers, they become the target for terror when they whisper "I Saw What You Did, And I Know Who You Are!" to psychopath Steve Marek who has just murdered his wife. But somebody else knows of the terrible crime that was committed that night, the killer's desperately amorous neighbor Amy Nelson.

Yes a William Castle classic tonight on Sven. Castle best know for his gimmicks only had one for this movie. During its original theatrical release some theaters installed seat-belts so you couldn't be "shocked out of your seat".  I guess you could say Joan Crawford was used as a gimmick as well. She was paid $50,000 for a cameo that lead to top billing. She work only 4 days on the movie. This would also be Crawford's last American made film. She would go on to make only two more films. Both films where shot in the UK.

If you have not seen this yet you owe it to yourself. This is on of Castle's better flicks that is hardly ever talked about.

Watch 'I Saw What You Did' at 10 PM / 9 C, Saturday, July 6, on Me-TV. - See more at: http://svengoolie.com/#sthash.QlsGMfi3.dpuf
