I watched this movie today for the first time in years and I forgot how much I really like it. The effects are really good if you remember time it was made in. I have always liked Vincent Price movies anyway plus it's in black and white but there is a blood effect thats in color.

william castle films are classics (well some of them) and having vincent price in them is just a bonus.

The "Percepto" gimmic that Castle used in the "Tingler" was a great idea too. On it's first theatrical run, certain seats in the theater were wired electronicaly to give the movie goer a mild shock during certain scenes. Pretty cool. But you'd probably get sued today.:mad:

The Tingler is a great flick - but then, Castle was monumental. He didn't make deep movies, he made ENTERTAINING movies. What more can you ask. They're daft, they're silly, and they're good fun. Perfect.

By far my favorite Vincent Price movie of all time. I love it so.

The Tingler is one of the most entertaining
B-movie classics there is. If you like this film check out the Original "House On Haunted Hill'. Watch it late at night with the lights off and the sound turned up.

I think someone else posted about this on here, but if you want really old B-movie or silent classic horror films check out Target's $1 section. They have DVD's of films that have fallen into the "public domain" and so can be copied without paying out royalties. There are some really good and really bad old horror titles in there.

Apart from the 'tingly' seats in the cinema, wasn't there a part in the movie where the film seems to unreel and we hear Vincent Price warning that the tingler was about to draw near? If I recall correctly, one saw a shadow of the creature on the screen.
I may be thinking of another film, but the above gimmick has William Castle stamped all over it!

Hollywood has become one big cover band for old movies. I think they should just re-release the original Tingler on DVD and a handbuzzer on a timer that shocks you while you watch it. Just be sure to pause them both at the same time.
