Yep. Much like Richard Basehart could (and did) make any old scientific mumbo-jumbo sound completely credible in 'Voyage' - "Lee, this ham-and-cheese sandwich doesn't contain any HAM! Who could have taken it?". Eat your acting heart out, Shatner!
John Waters tells an amusing anecdote about when he was a kid and saw the movie when it came played at a local theatre in Baltimore. He had heard that the gimmick was that certain chairs were wired to give a select few audience members a shock at specific points in the movie. They'd scream and cause others to scream. But by the time it got to his area only one seat was rigged to cause the effect and he arrived at the theatre early, found that chair, and sit there all day long "getting my ass buzzed." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No wonder he cameod in an episode of Homicide: Life In the Street. The show is set in Baltimore. It was a cross over episode with Law & Order. He plays a suspect being extradited to New York and the detectives from Homicide have to hand him over to the detectives of Law & Order and they all exchage jibes and insults about one another's cities.
There was a Joe Dante film that came out in 93 with John Goodman as a William Castle inspired film guy screening his movies in Key West. It's called Matinee.
Was lucky enough to find the blu ray recently. Legendary movie. Though the Mant poster they had up in my local cinema teasing Matinee freaked me the hell out at age 4.
@@geoffreyfyfe2248 Imagine if he had: he could've done one of his filmed introductions & included a gimmick where patrons would be given pregnancy tests to see if they were carrying the anti-Christ.
I love William Castle. He was like the crazy grandpa who gave to cheesey spooky gifts all in good fun. House on Haunted Hill, 13 Ghosts, and Straight Jacket were awesome as well. And, who doesn't love Vincent Price?
@@the_once-and-future_king. yes like the fly or the thing or any other 70 to 80s remake of horror or sci fi, Why i wish this was remake in that time period
I was fortunate enough to see The Tingler at a revival house. Sadly, they didn't have "Percepto" for the showing. However, when the Tingler scuttled into the movie theater (in the movie), our whole theater started screaming, as Vincent Price was telling us to do. It was hilarious and a lot of fun. As for the bathtub scene, the effect was done using almost all of the ones you mention. There's a shot where the set is painted black and white; there's an optical effect merging the color and black and white shots. They used what they could depending on the shot.
Absolutely LOVE that you added in the Gremlins clips. Vincent Price is the best part of this, obviously, and I'll watch anything with him at least once.
It reminded me the of the original BBC production of All Creatures Great and Small back in the '70's. Only with a nonsensical plot and far worse special effects.
One of the main reasons I can't stand does Hobbit movies. I tried to see the extended cuts a couple of years ago to see if it would make the story any better, but they're absolutely unwatchable
This was actually the first horror film I ever saw. It was Halloween and I was 8, they were having a TV rerun at my grandparents house. It scared me to my fucking core(I was a very stupid child). Last year my grandpa invited me to my house because he rented The Tingler on Amazon and wanted to watch it with me. We had a blast watching it, just campy fun from beginning to end. Really is an enjoyable film for both me and my grandpa
When I was a young lad, I stayed up half the night watching such classics as "From Hell it Came", "The Killer Shrews" and yes, "The Tingler". I thought it was a good movie. Loved Vincent Price too.
I remember watching this with my mom on a Creature Feature back in the early 80s. She told me about the gimmick when the movie came out. I'll always like this movie a lot.
As a wee boy, whenever we had Arbroath smokies(fish) for dinner, my dad would take the left over spine & make it move menacingly towards us declaring it was 'the Tingler!' 😂
I'm genuinely impressed with your understanding of what ASMR is. A lot of people tend to focus only on the weirder channels and wave it off as some kind of fetish.
I saw the Tingler on a double bill with House on Haunted Hill at Detroit’s historic Redford Theater. When Vincent Price told everybody to scream, the crowd erupted! It was a lot of fun.
If William Castle was around today, his movies would have audiences use their phones to scan a QR code on the screen and use Augmented Reality to interact with certain scenes, and with drinking in the theater allowed his movies would have "take a drink every time..." moments.
Saw The Tingler at the RKO HILLSTREET THEATER in Los Angeles Downtown when I was a teen. During the movie the Tingler got loose in a theater and then the Picture stopped, but the sound continued. An usher had come down and sat behind two young women with a shopping bag. When Voice said the Tingler is loose in the theater the only way to save yourself was to scream out loud. Many did, then the usher pulled out a rubber Tingler and draped it over one of the woman's shoulder. That made both women scream and jump and make a fuss . That made many more scream. I saw it all happen so I did not.
Awesome episode. Like I mentioned, I saw this movie a few times on "Svengoolie". While it is a traditional William Castle gimmick movie, a lot of the content was pretty ahead of its time. With the LSD scenes Body Horror element, it really make the movie stand out from most other horror movies at the time. I can definitely see a remake for this movie work, if they get good Writers, a competent Director, and a top notch special effects team.
Castle also had a gimmick planned for his final film, Bug. To simulate an encounter with the large cockroaches, some seats would be wired to have a soft strip of material swish around against the back of patrons' legs at key moments. The idea was shot down by studio heads when they explained to Castle that the theatres Bug would be playing in very likely had their own giant cockroaches.
The really weird thing is that there is a real-life tropical critter called a Velvet Worm (look it up on Wikipedia) that looks just like the tingler. It even sprays something akin to organic 'silly string' to capture its prey. Every time I see this movie I want one as a pet. well, more as a pet. Fascinating creatures. They've been around since Cambrian times.
The mute lady's husband was the surly antique store owner from the episode of the original Twilight Zone with the player piano that controlled people's emotions, which is funny cuz the husband in that episode kinda looks like Vincent Price.
Geez man Vincent Price was such a G. Dude elevated everything he touched and never brought anything less than his very best. Guy didn't even know how to not care. Rest in Power, Legend.
His 13 ghosts was a really working experience, I mean I still have a red/blue 3D glasses, and that's practicaly the same as his gimmick-device. Back then I bet a lot of people went to his films just for the gimmicks.
I first became aware of this film in reading Stephen King's 'Danse Macabre'. He devotes some few paragraphs to William Castle generally, and this film specifically.
My husband and I watched the Tingler not long ago (I think it was on Tubi) and it is FAR better than it has any right to be. We were truly surprised how much we enjoyed it.
The best way to see 'The Tingler' is on Svengoolie. Or pretty much any schlocky monster or early sci-fi movie, for that matter. If you can tolerate corny Dad jokes.
There's an episode of "Space Ghost: Coast to Coast" where The Tingler is mentioned. A random caller to the show says; "The Tingler is loose in the theater. Scream, Scream for your lives!". I think about that clip a lot. Now I get the reference. :P
Its kinda funny how this movie seems like it shouldn't work based on the gimmick nature of Castle's films but ends up making for a pretty entertaining watch.
Saw this on T.V. on Halloween some years back and 2 years ago on TH-cam, one of the best films I have seen, R.I.P Vincent Price, as well, one of the greatest actors.
Brandon, thank you once again for making me laugh, bud. Your pick of (mostly) truly cheesy movies starts things off right, and your mild sarcasm makes your commentary a blast to listen to. My only complaint is that we have to wait too long between videos lol. Have a good one.
My personal favorite William Castle film. I even have a prop replica of the Tingler waiting in the closet for Halloween this year. Dressing as Vincent Price this year. (FUN FACT: There was a sequel to this film in the form of a one-shot comic.)

A couple of years ago, I saw a 4D Shrek movie at Universal Studios and had such a amazing time. It makes me wonder what people in the 50s would've thought of immersive films today.
As a preteen I stumbled across this film on a late Saturday night's Creature Feature, and I LOVED it! The Tingler was a great monster, and the idea of having to scream to save your life was pretty original. I was such a fan of this film decades later, when John Goodman's Matinee came out, I instantly recognized that he was playing 'the guy who made the Tingler'. Matinee is a classic, especially in the black and white 'movie within a movie' scenes of Mant! Unless I get a memory destroying disease I will never forget the 'wife' in the Mant film telling her husband who is changing into an ANT and who happens to be locked in a jail cell. "Oh, Harvey if you could just put the insect aside and--" to which Harvey screams 'Insecticide!? Insecticide! Who's got insecticide?' Lol Love it.
Say what you will about William Castle and his gimmicks, but the fact remains, he did make good and entertaining films. The Tingler is certainly my favorite of Castle's films. Definitely best remembered for the Percepto! gimmick (which, of course, I've never experienced), but the film works thanks to the delicious ham of Vincent Price. I don't think the movie would have worked without him, and that also applies to House on Haunted Hill since the remake - without Price - didn't work nearly as well. Sure, the science in The Tingler is bollocks and utterly inconsistent, but that's not why you watch these things. You watch to be entertained, and you are definitely not bored by the film. The Tingler creature is a wonderful creation, even if it's not believable for a second. And I just loved it.
Thanks , man, I saw this in high school about 1982 and for decades felt that I should go back and watch it again. Now I don’t have to and I’m totally good. Very interesting to revisit it; I had forgotten the whole story and it was quite a hoot to see Master Vincent in the grip of a trip!
So awesome to see you cover this one. Gloriously cheesy classic! Awesome review as always. Three cute, weird little rescue hedgehogs and I think you rock! 👍🏻🦔🦔🦔
I was at screening as part of Sci-Fi film festival, and they rigged the seats with vibrators and had someone run with a "tingler" attacking them. It was a hoot. I had a buzzer and I screamed when activated.
William Castle was a genius director with all of his films having gimmicks that would lead the way to 3D and 4DX. No matter the film’s quality his filmography are very entertaining and interesting
The shot of the blood in the bath looks matted in. There is that standard difference in quality and focus you get in old composite shots. If it was all in-camera, things would mesh together better.
I saw this recently on Talking Pictures TV. It's enjoyable... but the viewing experience is hampered by even the most cursory knowledge of human anatomy. Takes you right out of the film! 😆
What I love about Vincent Price movies isn't their Quality or Script or even Story, it was the fact that VINCENT "I can Make Reading The Alphabet Terrifying" PRICE was in the Movie. Every movie he was ever in became a "Horror/Whatever" Movie just by him being I'm it. Even that horrible appearance on The Brady Bunch was Terrifying. Sadly for completely different reasons, but my point still stands....
Good job with the review with the movie as always Brandon. Vincent Price in anything you can't go wrong. On another note,with the passing of Roger Corman, maybe you can review some of his flims like "The Undead."
Sadly, William Castle's plans for a foreign language spin-off called "The French Tickler" never ended up happening.
😂😂😂 finger bang bang...bang bang bang
You should do a video on puppet master
Reminds me of that guy in Family Guy where Quagmire performs at an airshow

The first movies I ever saw him in was The Fly and Great Mouse Detective.
Damn right he is😎
He really was the best at everything he did. Loved that man dearly.
He's entertaining in the Dr goldfoot movies, but they're still hard to watch.
@@vincegamer I watch for the 👙
Vincent Price was probably the only actor that could make "The Tingler" not sound completely stupid.
And carries this whole movie like Atlas carries the heavens!
He had that charisma that could make any plot worth watching. Even in Theater of Blood, where he kills critics in Shakespeare style deaths.
Peter Cushing might have been good, too!
He made all movies jump up a notch.
Yep. Much like Richard Basehart could (and did) make any old scientific mumbo-jumbo sound completely credible in 'Voyage' - "Lee, this ham-and-cheese sandwich doesn't contain any HAM! Who could have taken it?". Eat your acting heart out, Shatner!
What makes Vincent's sarcastic lines so funny is that he never changes his tone of voice. Just says them as he normally did any casual line.
leslie nielsen ante litteram
He always had a mischievous grin
Playing it straight is vastly underused in self aware movies. So many parodies could get a bump up in grade by 2 or 3 steps if they'd try it.
Yeh he knew how to elevate any role with just tone and demeanor a true actor.
He could pack more sarcasm and biting wit into a handful of lines than lesser actors could in a whole film.
"Just as I suspected: He died from being in the electric chair." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dude, I love your channel!!!!!
Vincent Price was an absolute legend. One of the all time greats.
Quite true.

To me, the freakiest thing about William Castle is that he produced Rosemary’s Baby! WTF? He even made a cameo! Wow…
He also wanted to direct it, but got pushed aside for Polanski because they didn't want people think it was a Castle-kind of film.

I was at screening as part of Sci-Fi film festival, and they rigged the seats with vibrators and had someone run with a "tingler" attacking them. It was a hoot. I had a buzzer and I screamed when activated.
One of my favorite films. I have loved this since I saw it on late night tv as a kid. My Dad saw it in the theater and let me stay up.
William Castle was a genius director with all of his films having gimmicks that would lead the way to 3D and 4DX. No matter the film’s quality his filmography are very entertaining and interesting
That blurry vision bit was genius
The shot of the blood in the bath looks matted in. There is that standard difference in quality and focus you get in old composite shots. If it was all in-camera, things would mesh together better.
Me: no idea who Castle
Brandon: mentions House On Haunted Hill and 13 Ghosts
Me: oooohhhhh yeah I know him
Another movie by William Castle where Vincent Price's wife cheats on him? Outrageous!
I saw this recently on Talking Pictures TV. It's enjoyable... but the viewing experience is hampered by even the most cursory knowledge of human anatomy. Takes you right out of the film! 😆
15:38
as you said that an ad for
METRO MATTRESS
started playing
As soon as I saw what movie you were reviewing I got excited! Also, if Bob Ross made monsters, they would be happy little monsters
Love that shirt bro, always knew you had great taste in music.
I think the ear worm from Star Trek 2 The Wrath of KHANNNNNNNNNN!! Might have been inspired by "The Tingler".
What I love about Vincent Price movies isn't their Quality or Script or even Story, it was the fact that VINCENT "I can Make Reading The Alphabet Terrifying" PRICE was in the Movie. Every movie he was ever in became a "Horror/Whatever" Movie just by him being I'm it. Even that horrible appearance on The Brady Bunch was Terrifying. Sadly for completely different reasons, but my point still stands....
Good job with the review with the movie as always Brandon. Vincent Price in anything you can't go wrong.
On another note,with the passing of Roger Corman, maybe you can review some of his flims like "The Undead."
