A doctor conducts postmortem experiments that result in the discovery of a deadly creature that is energised by people’s fear., A doctor conducts postmortem experiments that result in the discovery of a deadly creature that is energized by people’s fear., A bizarre but enjoyable horror yarn in which scientist Dr William Chapin discovers that raw fear can create a parasite which attaches itself to the human spine and can only be killed by the scream of its victim. But his experiments cause havoc when one such ‘tingler’, removed from the body of a deaf mute, escapes and finds its way into a crowded cinema., Vincent Price is the doctor searching for the root of fear in humans. He isolates an organism within the body which he dubs ‘the tingler’, but his unfaithful wife turns it on him and the elusive little beast then causes havoc in a crowded cinema., As famous for the gimmick with which the film was shown as for its genuinely spine-tingling story, The Tingler follows a pathologist (Vincent Price) as he searches for the cause of a series of deaths and discovers that the victims have a large insectlike creature growing on their spinal chords. The creature attacks when the people are frightened and are only killed when the host emits a blood-curdling primal scream. This is coupled with a subplot to scare the deaf-mute owner of a silent movie house to death. Along the way, a couple of characters are injected with LSD and begin hallucinating like mad. The show stopper came when one of the nasty monsters “escaped” into a movie theater. The gimmick is one of director William Castle’s most famous. In order to further frighten audiences, he had certain theater seats rigged with small Army surplus devices that would deliver a mild electric shock to the spine in hopes of inducing terrified screams. If no audience member screamed, then Castle had a back-up plan in which a planted audience member would scream and faint. The house lights would go up, the film would stop and ushers would carry the unconscious person out of the theater.
