The Tingler
Movie Information
In Brief: Quite possibly the best thing legendary schlockmeister William Castle ever turned out prior to producing Rosemary's Baby — and certainly the best remembered of his films due to its incredible theatrical gimmick (Percepto), The Tingler is an absolute must see for fans of Castle's unique brand of low-budget exploitation horror. Castle's films are generally less notable for their quality than for their passion, but The Tingler has both — well, if you can get past the particularly bad effects used for the titular monster, that is. This is a film in which Vincent Price takes a copious amount of LSD in his efforts to better understand his foe, a two-foot centipede that lives inside the human body and feeds on fear — 'nuff said!
