The Tingler (1959)

This week, the Phantom Erik and the man of many voices, Lester Reaper, get to check in on the man of many gimmicks, William Castle, with his 1959 feature “The Tingler”. Vincent Price stars in this silly yet spooky tale as a doctor on the verge of discovering what has been breaking people’s spines during moments of their greatest fears. Is it a rare bodily function…or is it a malevolent parasite? Tune in to find out as we attempt to tackle Castle’s history and the imprint he left on the genre at the turn of the decade. Help the Phantom and Lester close out the 1950s in style by making sure to scream, scream for your lives if you feel the faintest tingling in your spine at any point during the episode!
