William Castle was a pioneer of interactive movie experiences. He introduced innovative theater gimmicks like Emergo, where effects leapt off the screen and into the audience, Percepto, which made the experience tactile, and Illusion-O, where viewers had control over what they saw. His creative approaches turned film screenings into immersive events, making him a legend in the industry. Join us at the GAC for an immersive film experience worthy of William Castle.
