From the Vincent Price classic, honoring his birthday (and Sherwood Schwartz's later show "The Brady Bunch"would actually HAVE Vincent.>!) "The Pit and the Pendulum"
Dr.Boris Balinkoff';s castle. Looks like the INTERIOIRS were used by that famous Gilligan episode. Look at the open title with the film's title..

I've often wondered if Vincent Price was ever approached or considered for a spot on Gilligan's Island.

This was common for TV show producers to use scenes from movies instead of going through the expense of creating the scenes themselves. For example. If you watch the 70s TV series "Incredible Hulk" The episode 747, you will see scenes taken from the movie "Airport 1975. They even use the same mountain scenes and airline name "Columbia" That was in the movie.

He would have been great on it!

Incredible Hulk also used scenes from the movie Duel.
