    Is this “The Tingler”?

    I wonder if this is where they got the idea for that thing Khan stuck in Chekov’s ear.

    Possibly the only thing creepier would be the “butt weasels” from Dream Catcher.

    Well being impregnated by the alien in Slither is pretty high on that scale too…

    Okay time to go bath in lit gasoline!

    It is indeed!

    The Tingler is one of those 50s movies that reminds you of why they’re so good. The central premise here is nothing short of absurd, yet you’re perfectly willing to go along with it because they do such a fine job of presenting it.

    I’m sure I’m not alone is wishing a new Bill Castle would step forward in our dreary modern times and give us the sensational ballyhoo so shockingly absent from our lives.

  • Good ol’ William Castle! Zapping people’s butts with electrified theater seats to scare them. If only todays movie makers were as innovative. Instead, they’re trying to resurrect 3D for the umpteenth time.

    BTW, I think a Tingler tie would be a definite fashion winner.

    BC – I’d buy that!

    That’s a great idea. With the vast array of good 50’s sci-fi/horror why doesn’t someone do this!

    I can see it now (que swirly effects) – New from famed fashion designer Beckoning Chasm – The Sci-Fi Horror tie. (Sold exclusively at a Jabootu boutique near you!)

    It could happen!
