Great Vincent Price flick about a parasite in all of us that feeds on fear. The only way to stop it is to scream!!

William Castle was awesome!! I read that during the original screening of The Tingler that Castle had the seats of the theater wired to vibrate and "shock" the viewers during the scary parts.
Any truth to that?

Any truth to that? i don't know if there's any truth to that, but it would make for a truly unforgettable cinema experience.

WIKIPEDIAThe film tells the story of a scientist who discovers a parasite in human beings, called a "Tingler", which feeds on fear. The creature earned its name by making the spine of its host "tingle" when the host is frightened. In line with several other Castle horror films, including the 1958 Macabre and 1959 House on Haunted Hill, Castle used gimmicks to sell the film. The most well-known for The Tingler was called "Percepto!", which featured vibrating devices in some of the theater chairs which activated in time with the onscreen action

Hey no prob i love things like that where it brings you into the movie more than just watching. 3d is great but so much more like 3d sound (not surround sound) little devices set up thru out the chair just makes it more exciting. gonna watch this movie tonight forgot to do it the other day
