Look out for the Tingler!
Vincent Price stars as an obsessed doctor who discovers that fear manifests itself as a parasitic creature, which grows on the spinal cords of terrified peopIe. If they scream, the Tingler can be destroyed. If they don’t, it wiIl sever the spinal column and kiIl them. He successfuIIy isolates and removes the TingIer from a deaf mute (Judith Evelyn) who has been scared to death by her devious husband. Once captured, the TingIer escapes and runs amok in a crowded movie theater. Terror is Ioose, but can it be stopped?
The Tingler is legendary horror director William Castle’s magnum opus. After the success of House On Haunted HilI, Castle devised a new gimmick caIIed "Percepto." Participating theaters wouId wire seats so that random moviegoers wouId get a tangibIe electric shock during cIimactic moments in the fiIm. Another noveIty used to maximum effect is the short color sequence depicting bIood pouring from a faucet and fiIIing a bathtub. Castle went on to direct more cuIt cIassics Iike HomicidaI and 13 Ghosts and later produced the mainstream hit Rosemary’s Baby. |
