31-Day Horror Challenge Day Three: The Tingler



Ah, Vincent Price and William Castle.  What a wonderful team that brought us so many good horror films.  Let's be honest, The Tingler isn't the best film ever made but Vincent Price could have made Battlefield Earth good.  That being said, this is definitely a noteworthy piece of classic cinema.

Price plays Dr. Warren Chapin, a man who obsessively researches his theories about the causes of fear on the human body.  His worst nightmares are realized when he discovers that the cause is actually a creature that inhabits all human beings.  This brings plenty of scary, and cheesy moments.  This is definitely a fun one.

If you're a Vincent Price or William Castle fan, or if you just enjoy classic horror cinema, you should see this film.  It's quirky and silly but also frightening at times.  I, for one, had a blast.
