Writer Robb White was partnered with "gimmick horror film" king William Castle
during Castle's most popular and productive period. Born in the
Philippines, White was a preacher's son who held a wide variety of jobs
before landing in the Navy during World War II. He initially
collaborated with Castle on the short-lived TV series Men of Annapolis (1957), then
joined forces with the enterprising producer-director on the horror
thrillers Macabre (1958), Das Haus auf dem Geisterhügel (1959), Schrei, wenn der Tingler kommt (1959), Mörderisch (1961), and the kiddie-oriented
Das unheimliche Erbe (1960). He later went back to TV writing, including
Perry Mason (1957).
