Review of Spine Tingler! The William Castle Story (2007) by Allan C — 15 Apr 2012

I was introduced to Castle with the classic shocker "The Tingler", a movie about a parasite that dwells in us all and is responsible for the sensation of fear that creeps up your spine. The genius of Castle was taking such schlock films and then adding a gimmick to make the cinema experience unique.

Wit The Tingler he installed vibrating chairs in the cinema to jolt the audience at the right moment.. and that was just one example. This documentary gives more on the man and his method and raises the profile of a once infamous mind.
