Summary: Crazy nonsense
Review: I'm a Vincent Price fan, but this is one of his lesser works, in my opinion. The script and storyline are ridiculous, even for a B-picture. Still, Price's charm and superb acting save the film, as do several unintentionally funny scenes.

Review: My boyfriend saw this when he was six years old (forty years ago). Said he had nightmares for years. We watched it again tonight and had a good laugh.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: My brother and I watched this movie 2 or 3 times when we were little. It was a classic horror film. Not one of the more popular and was rarely shown. It is a great flick. The concept scared me then. I bought it for my brother for Christmas 30 years after we had first seen it.

Summary: WHEN THE SCREEN SCREAMS YOU'LL SCREAM TOO !
Review: No Vincent Price fan should be without this DVD in thier collection. The movie has never looked better, and the features are great. Not only does the disc contain the movie and features, it also gives alot of the history of the movie. Also great features and stories on the business relationship between William Castle and Vincent Price. This is pure cheese, but the good kind of cheese.

Summary: Typical Castle schlocker.
Review: Not bad. Another in William Castle's Ed Wood-like attempts to be the Alfred Hitchcock of Horror (I refer mainly to his cutesy "host" duties). The story centers around a coronor's attempt to discover why he finds spinal cord injuries in people who are scared to death. Turns out there is a microscopic organism that rapidly grows around the spine when people get scared. Only screaming can prevent the amazingly strong creature from crushing the vertabre. Once you scream, the creature reverts to it's microscopic size. This is what explains the "tingle" in the spine when you're scared, hence the name of the creature, the "Tingler". In the course of his experiments, Vincent Price removes a Tingler from a victim and it gets loose in a movie theatre. This is the perfect opportunity for Castle to ask movie patrons to scream... literaly. This movie was the one whereby Castle had movie theatre seats "wired" to a device that would give electric shocks to viewers when the Tingler was on the rampage. Entertaining '50s camp with Vincent as a hero instead of a villian. ****NOTE: The movie the patrons of the theatre are watching is a silent film called "Tol'able David", a well renowned 1921 film about a young lad who takes up delivery of the mail, and meets up with evil crooks.

Summary: Absolute Camp
Review: Oh my goodness. An absolutely campy black and white horror movie with Vincent Price as the obsessed pathologist with a laboratory in his basement. He experiments on his unhappy wife! The "Tingler" looks like a giant rubber earwig, or maybe a lobster without it's claws. It rivals the monster in Ed Woods' "Bride of the Monster" in it's apparent phoniness. The movie takes a little while to warm up, but then abandons all logic and goes completely, gloriously loopy. Vincent Price on LSD is a reason alone to buy this wonderfully bizarre romp of a movie. I was pleasantly surprised to find it available on tape.

Summary: Percepto Litigationo
Review: One could only imagine the flock of lawyers standing out in front of a theater showing this film. If there were shocks in the theater ...these would be nothing compared to the shock Mr.C. would recieve when the lawsuits in their " suits" came raining down on his office. A neat little idea to keep folks awake..and for the rest of us to ponder. The introduction is priceless and Mr. C sure is a showman. Sit back and relax....and scream if you have to..if not bring the " Tingler" to your local chiropracter for an adjustment. Fun all the way

Summary: Vincent Price at his diabolical best
Review: Suprisingly suspensful and imaginative.Vincent Price is great as the crazed doctor,and I found the film very entertaining, especially if you are a Price fan.Rarely seen on T.V., but well worth watching.

Summary: DVD is fantastic
Review: The DVD version of _The Tingler_ is the way to go for horror buffs. It includes priceless footage of the legendary William Castle promoting the film, as well as interesting comments by co-star Darryl Hickman. Hickman seems somewhat apologetic for his role in the film. I was thinking, "Are you kidding? This turned out to be one of the biggest cult classics of all time."
Also hilarious is the drive-in scream sequence, which dealt with the problem of the tingler being loose in a drive-in rather than a theater.
Great film, Castle's campy best. Vincent Price is memorable--he goes on the first LSD trip ever on film--in 1959! Judith Evelyn is remarkable as Ollie's deaf-mute wife. The famous bathroom sequence is as good as it gets.
Sharpen up your suspension of disbelief and enjoy!
