I know what you mean.
But I do welcome Zotz!, Hammer's The Old Dark House, and 13 Frightened Girls.
The title I was hoping for is I Saw What You Did (1965), but this turns out to be a Universal / Anchor Bay, now out of print and pricey.
Still, Columbia has enough William Castle films in their vaults for at least two or three more sets, perhaps categorized by genre:
1956 Uranium Boom
1956 The Houston Story
1955 New Orleans Uncensored
1955 The Gun That Won the West
1955 Duel On the Mississippi
1954 The Saracen Blade
1954 Masterson of Kansas -- a personal favorite
1954 The Law vs Billy the Kid
1954 Jesse James vs the Daltons
1954 The Iron Glove
1954 Drums of Tahiti
1954 Charge of the Lancers
1954 Battle of Rogue River
1953 Slaves of Babylon
1953 Serpent of the Nile
1953 Conquest of Cochise
1953 Fort Ti
1948 The Gentleman From Nowhere
1947 Crime Doctor's Gamble
1946 The Return of Rusty
1946 The Mysterious Intruder
1946 Just Before Dawn
1946 Crime Doctor's Man Hunt
1945 Voice of the Whistler
1945 Crime Doctor's Warning
1944 She's a Soldier Too
1944 Mark of the Whistler
Some of these are minor works and programmers that might best be presented as double / triple-feature discs in a box-set. But most of Castle's 1950s films are better quality B films in rich bright color and very entertaining.
Castle's 3-D films were enthusiastically received at the World 3-D Expos in 2003 and in 2006, especially Drums of Tahiti. They could be a hit again in a field-sequential 3-D box-set. Mike Schlesinger was there, perhaps he could advocate a 3-D release. Just put it out in field-sequential and don't stress over the tech. Plenty of fans will gobble it up.
