I searched the Internet for ranked lists of the best William Castle movies of all time. Criteria included the movies being ranked, not just listed, and generally created by groups, whether teams or committees or based on general public voting (like Ranker.com).

I was able to find 11 lists. I took the 11 lists and added all their content into a spreadsheet, noting the rank of every film. I averaged the rankings each movie got and divided that average by a factor of the number of lists that movie was on. The lowest score meant a high ranking average on many lists. The complete spreadsheet is attached at the bottom.

The movies that were on the most lists (out of 11) were:

  • The Tingler (1959) – all 11 lists
  • House on Haunted Hill (1959) – all 11 lists
  • Mr. Sardonicus (1961) – all 11 lists
  • 13 Ghosts (1960) – all 11 lists
  • Macabre (1958) – all 11 lists
  • Strait-Jacket (1964) – 10 lists
  • Homicidal (1961) – 9 lists
  • I Saw What You Did (1965) – 9 lists

Here are links to the lists I used along with dates the lists were created:
