Dr. Warren Chapin (Vincent Price, Edward Scissorhands) has made a surprising discovery – the spine-chilling sensation that people get when scared is due to a parasite that he dubs the “tingler.” Chapin concludes that in extreme circumstances, prolonged fear can cause the creature to damage a person's spine and even cause death if the victim can't scream, a theory that Oliver Higgins (Philip Coolidge, North By Northwest) uses to deadly effect on his wife (Judith Evelyn, Rear Window). Soon the tingler that killed the woman is on the loose.

Critic Reviews:

• " There's never been anything like The Tingler before or since. " – Sean Mulvihill (FanboyNation.com)

• " Well-made, and anyone with an appreciation for the fright flicks of yesteryear will certainly recognize it as a work of significant note. " – Mike McGranaghan (Aisle Seat)

• " How any red-blooded American could hear ‘Vincent Price's acid trip,’ and not fall over themselves rushing to find a copy of the movie is beyond my comprehension. " – Tim Brayton (Antagony & Ecstasy)
