A pathologist's experiments into the nature of fear lead him to the discovery of a dangerous creature that is attached to the spinal cord of people. This creature can only be overcome by the sound of a scream... but what if you did not have the ability to scream?

Terror Blurbs! Part II (An Ever-Expanding List) (100 movies items)

"Plot: A scientist obsessed with the nature of fear finds himself in a chain of events that prove his theory of a parasitic organism that feeds off of fright. One of several William Castle productions that partially built themselves around an interactive gimmick to sell tickets, The Tingler predictably only stumbles when the moments requiring interactivity come up during home viewing. Up till then (silly science notwithstanding) it actually manages to be an entertaining sci-fi/horror piece ease"

"Idea on mainio vielä vuosienkin jälkeen, kun Pricen esittämä lääkäri löytää selkärangasta tingler-otuksen, joka kuolee vain jos uhri huutaa pelosta. Castle kuulemma asenteli teatteripenkkeihin tärinäominaisuuksia, jotta katsojat oikeasti säikähtelisivät ja alkaisivat kirkumaan salissa. Aitoa b-meininkiä, b-elokuvien kultakaudelta."

12 nasty horror B-movies that are worth watching (12 movies items)

"Legendary actor Vincent Price stars in one of the best horror films from the 50's. The plot is a little silly yet very creative, about a doctor who discover that a creepy creature inhabits every one of us and feeds of our fear, being controlled only by our screaming. Top-notch sci-fi horror from William Castle, director of House on Haunted Hill and Strait-Jacket"
