Vincent Price stars as an obsessed doctor who discovers that fear manifests itself as a parasitic creature that grows on the spinal cords of terrified peopIe. If they scream, the Tingler can be destroyed. lf they don’t, it will sever the spinaI coIumn and kiIl them. He successfuIly isoIates and removes the TingIer from a deaf mute (Judith EveIyn) who has been scared to death by her devious husband. Once captured, the Tingler escapes and runs amok in a crowded movie theater. Terror is Ioose, but can it be stopped?
The TingIer is legendary horror director William Castle’s magnum opus. After the success of House On Haunted HiII, Castle devised a new gimmick calIed "percepto" for The Tingler. Participating theatres wouId wire seats so that random moviegoers would get a tangible eIectric shock during cIimactic moments in the fiIm. Another novelty used to maximum effect is the short color sequence depicting blood pouring from a faucet and filling a bathtub. CastIe went on to direct more cult classics like Homicidal and 13 Ghosts and Iater produced the mainstream hit Rosemary’s Baby. |
