This movie sucked kebabs, but had a great movie poster in 1958.


The movie poster is much scarier than the movie . Oh yes, if you died while watching this piece of rubbish in the movie theater, they guaranteed you would be buried free of charge . That must've pulled in a lot kids to see this movie back then .

The Screaming Skull is one of the finest, scariest, and creepiest horror movoies
in all of cinema history. The acting is superb!!! You do not appreciate the fine creativity and hard work that director Alex Nicol put into the making of this fine horror film. The knockings at the front door by the skull/ghost were enough to give me nightmares. This is truly an atmospheric horror piece that deserves its place in cinema history, as a truly scary film. The music score alone was frightening!!! The film was eerie, creepy, and scary. This movie scared me to death as a small child when I first watched it on television. And guess what, it scares me even more as an adult. Peggy Webber, did an amazing performance as the lead Jenni Whitlock. Her screams send chills down my spine.
If you enjoy the " slop" known as torture porn being assimiliated as the horror genre in today's films, fine... But do not degrade or belittle, the SCREAMING SKULL, it is a film that demands respect, as a horror classic.
