ABOUT THE FILMS::

The Spine Tingler: The William Castle Story

The Spine Tingler: The William Castle Story, directed and produced by Jeffrey Schwarz, chronicles the last great American showman, filmmaker William Castle, a master of ballyhoo who became a brand name in movie horror with his outrageous audience participation gimmicks.

In the 1950s and 60s, Castle treated delighted moviegoers to buzzing seats, flying skeletons, luminescent ghosts and life insurance policies.

His is a rags to riches tale of a larger than life showman who climbed his way up the Hollywood ladder by reinventing himself as a modern P.T. Barnum, all the while driven by a fear of failure and a longing to be respected among his peers.


The Tingler - starring Vincent Price

The Tingler directed by William Castle, revolves around a pathologist, Dr. Warren Chapin (played by Vincent Price), discovering that the tingling of the spine in states of extreme fear is due to the growth of a "tingler" -- a spinal parasite which can kill the host unless it is destroyed by screaming.

An acquaintance of the pathologist, whose wife is mute and cannot scream, uses his discovery to frighten her to death.

In an autopsy, Dr. Chapin removes the Tingler from the wife's spine.

The centipede-like creature soon escapes, and mayhem ensues.
