Review of The Tingler (1959) by Matthew C — 23 Oct 2010
Vincent Price is fantastic in the fun, creepy crime/horror film from the master showman William Castle. Castle was like Ed Wood, if Ed Wood had had any talent whatsoever. He loved his gimmicks, and this film was no different.
They originally had buzzers in the seats to give people a fright. The tingler itself is actually kind of terrifying in a William S. Burroughs sort of way. And there is a great cast of side characters that really help make the movie a lot of fun.
If you enjoy 50s horror, you've got to see this.
