i love William Castle's little introduction...and the use of the color red for only one scene.
Vincent price was AMAZING...for a while i thought he was the bad guy...his wife was a bitch. Wikipedia says that this is the first ever major motion picture that talks about the LSD expirience...it was still illegal when the film came out. i like that quite a bit. this film calls for audience participation...if you refuse to scream you are an asshole. -
MCT:August 11, 2008A ridiculous plot, supported by good acting seems almost real. Possibly my favorite Vincent Price movie. SCREAM, SCREAM FOR YOUR LIVES!!!

MCT:July 29, 2008Awesome, awesome movie. One of my favorite Price and Castle movies. Intriguing story and superb acting make this one a must see for any horror fan. Price's delivery is as spot-on as always. The effects are even still fun today.

As ridiculous as the special effects and plot are, there's something about this movie... maybe it's camp, maybe it's just Vincent Price's charm, but it's a worth a look.

SOOO B-Movie! Interesting plot, nutty camera angles, and actual requests from the picture to the AUDIENCE to "not panic, but SCREAM FOR YOUR LIVES!!" :)

time has made this a novelty; for film historians, though, it's an important watch - the tingler itself is echoed throughout movie history - Cronenberg's whole career could have been spawned from the tingler art

Proof that Vincent Price can make even a silly, ridiculous script enjoyable. It's campy, it's corny, and it's cool! (Just don't take it too seriously.)
-
MCT:August 17, 2007Pretty hokey 50s horror flick with an interesting premise but for the most part a bad execution. William Castle builds suspense then hits the audience with an arsenal of gimmicks with everything from showing a black screen to running the shadow of the creature across the screen. I'm sure this got the desired effect in a 50s movie theater, but not so much on cable TV. The last scene was pretty silly, but then again the whole movie was.

The cheap horror showman William Castle had the uncanny Vincent Price in this fun classic b-movie. very interesting premise despite its campyness.

A classic of horror-sci fi movies that sort of reals you into this scientistīs investigation about fear, the way it grows inside each and every one of us...excellent movie though the way the portrayed the tingler creature was a bit farfetch ;-)

in theaters they rigged shockers on the seats for the premire for this film. in some theaters the shock boxes are still there, disconnected.

really great classic movie and very creepy too i think. I think Vincent Price is just such a brilliant actor.

Alternately spooky and hilarious, the "tingler" (to give it it's scientific name!) is a parasite that attaches itself to fearful victims and kills them unless they scream. A very silly creature feature with a post modern gimmick that only Vincent Price could possibly have gotten away with!

Classic Vincent Price/William Castle collaboration with oe of the best and most unique stories off the genre. Genuinely scary at times, and never boring.
-

Another stroke of Castle brilliance. A movie built around a device designed to shock people in the butt, winds up as one of the most enjoyable sci-fi / horror films of its era. Full of tension, gore, and surprisingly sly humor, it's quite a trip.

I saw this as a kid and it scared the willies out of me. Not much scares me now as I am "desensitized" and still seek a truly chilling movie to scare me, but this is a fav. It is a clever plot about a doctor who manages to catch the creature that forms in our spines and causes that "tingling" up our backs when we are very frightened. But it gets loose. The only way to stop it is to SCREAM! A great William Castle film, where he actually had seats wired up in some theaters to shock the sitter when the moment was right. Oh, to have been around in those days when they messed with you "during" the film.

HA HA HA!!!! my first ever "all Freakin' Night" movie at the olympia film festival!! they even installed the tingle seats (cheap oversized joybuzzers obviously stapped to the chair) and had a rubber worm on a string going up and down the asiles. it made me a beleiver!

MCT:November 13, 2006Corny, spooky fun -- kid of like a Halloween haunted house. Some parts drag, the tingler itself is a joke, but Vincent Price MAKES this movie.
