Review of I Saw What You Did (1965) by Lee Anne W — 08 Sep 2009
Two teenage girls (who are teenage girls in that awesome mid-60's way, with cropped jeans and crew-necked sweaters for that casual, after-school look) prank call strangers with the title phrase until they land on one who actually killed his wife and dumped her in the woods. They think he sounds hot, so they go to his house to take a look at him.
Joan Crawford, her falls, and her paste gemstone bib necklace play the killer's next door neighbor, a scheming, jealous cougar who wants to sink her claws into him. She scares off the girls, but not before stealing their vehicle registration (conveniently glued to the steering column), which the killer uses to track them down, after killing Joan, her falls, and her paste gemstone bib necklace for hassling him all the damn time.
After the cops kill the killer (they'd dropped by the house earlier, after the out of town parents called them to check up on the kids because the line kept ringing busy, then wasn't answered at all), the girl and her little sister share a hearty chuckle over the idea that Mom and Dad will probably keep them from using the phone for a long, long time after this. Cue the peppy theme music.
Ah, William Castle: you gotta love him!
