This tale of a man who's face is frozen in a 'rictus sardonicus' (skull-like grin) could've been a true horror classic, but it's kind of ruined by William Castle's pointless and intrusive "You Decide the Villain's Fate" gimmick.

Too bad Castle didn't realize this story was strong enough that it didn't need a cheesy gimmick.
