==Bio==<br />
'''Balinkoff Castle''' is a towering Gothic-Romanesque castle located somewhere near [[The Island|Gilligan's Island]]. It's exact history is unknown, but at some point in its history, it was chosen as a remote location for [[Dr. Boris Balinkoff]] to conduct his experiments aided by his manservant and assistant [[Igor]]. The structure is situated near the precipice of a high cliff and includes an unseen greenhouse and dock for a yacht, also unseen. The interior includes a foyer with a staircase to the upstairs bedrooms, a dining room and a secret panel to hidden passageways to Balinkoff's lab and the dungeon which comes replete with restraint and torture devices. The location is also somewhat neglected and covered with dust and cobwebs. <br><br />

Balinkoff brings [[Gilligan]] and the [[Skipper]] to the island on his motor boat with the pretense of retrieving his yacht to rescue the [[The Castaways|castaways]], but he very quickly takes them prisoner. When the others arrive, [[Mr. Howell]] learns of Balinkoff's plans to use them as guinea pigs in his [[Mind-Transference Machine|mind-control]] experiments, but he is very quickly taken prisoner as well with the others. After [[Ginger]] gets Igor's body, she helps everyone escape, and the [[Professor]] restores everyone to their real identities. The Skipper then traps Balinkoff in his machine as Gilligan flips the switch. The Castaways next see Balinkoff as a cat fleeing from Igor as a dog (and vice versa) before escaping back to their island in the motor boat.<br />

==Trivia==<br />

* Balinkoff's castle is actually a matte painting of a structure over a section of Carmel Heights near Point Lobos, California. It first appears in the Roger Corman movie,"The Pit And the Pendulum" (1961) and reused in "The Raven" (1963) and "The Terror" (1963). It also pops up again in Gilligan's [[Dreams|dream sequence]] in [[Up At Bat]].<br />
* There are no Gothic Romanesque castles in the South Pacific, but there are a few Spanish fortresses that could altered to match one.<br />
