Mr. Sardonicus is a 1961 horror film produced and directed by William Castle, based on the short story "Sardonicus" by Ray Russell, who also wrote the screenplay.[1] It tells the story of Sardonicus, a man whose face becomes frozen in a horrifying grin while robbing his father's grave to obtain a winning lottery ticket. Castle cited the film in his memoir as one of his favorites to produce.[1]
