Hello William Castle. What kinda gimmick you got this time? Give me some tingles.

"You oughta cum some time doc."
Are you hitting on Vincent Price?

A deaf mute hypochondriac with a fear of blood? Lady you have all the issues.
I wonder how this will come up in a movie about fear. HMMM. Lady you have all the issues.

Plotting to scare a woman to the very edge of death out loud. Oh dear. Vincent Price might be the villain.

"Feet hurt?"
"As a matter of fact they do."
"Not from running."
How? How did you make "not from running" into one of the sexiest line reads ever Vincent?

Don't threaten your dead body infront of a creepy scientist/mortician lady.

But old soldiers never die. They just smell that way.

I know I saw this movie as a kid. And I knew the premise is kinda dumb, I remembered that much. But man I forgot how great Vincent Price is in this. He's stealing every scene.

HAH! Calling her an alley cat. You so sassy Vincent.

The set up of this is feeling more and more like the Reanimator movie. One crazy scientist and his assistant who he's dragging into a crazy scientific scheme.

Do you two need to be staring through a transom and narrating the movie?

And Vincent is narrating his own bad trip while the couple outside are also narrating. This is excessive.

"Unless what Dave? UNLESS WHAT!"
Unless the most fear filled woman in town who physically can't scream comes back into the film.

Where did you get that mask Vincent? Or that machete? Is that an autopsy machete? A FUCKING YETI ARM WITH A HATCHET!? WHAT!?!?

OMG! IT'S A COLOR FILM!!!! AAAAAAH! THE HORROR!.

But really after an hour of film for the color pop of BLOOD RED that is really great visual trick.

AHAHAHAH! Well the sign says it right there lady. You dead.

SHE'S A ZOMBIE! Back from the dead to take her revenge!
Oh wait no she just had a late case of the tingles.

Wait is she dead dead or is he opening up the body of a woman so drugged up she just seems dead?

Vincent Price is a wizard at shadow puppetry.

"Oh yeah, call the police too. That might be a good idea to make this all official."

Wait wait. Is his wife turned on because he finally found a giant murder bug? Wow they are a good couple. Two kinky wicked weirdos.

Oh the "new wife" drugged him back. What a shocking and unexpected betrayal based upon revenge.

WAIT WHAT!? The mask and the machete? The deaf mute lady's husband scared her to death??? Everyone in this movie is evil.
Except the dead deaf mute lady...

Aww Vincent is taking a nap with his pet Tingler. And the Tingler has it's own fluffy rug to sleep on.

Oh my. Vincent price's sex sounds-- errr choking to death noises.

He's having a change of heart after it tried to choke himself to death? Well he's not committed to mad science.

Oh right Chekov's safe full of money. I legitimately forgot about that.

"You don't know what it's like when your wife tries to kill you."
"Oh I know EXACTLY what it's like Ollie. You have no idea how murderously kinky we are."

THE THEATER!!
THE TINGLER IS IN THE THEATER!
JUST LIKE THE THEATER YOU ARE IN RIGHT NOW!!!

The projectionist has survived the monster attack. We now return to the rest of The TIngler.

"Alright. Give me the Tingler now."
Well that's my new foreplay line.

The Tingler is animating her corpse? Well this just got even more fucked up.

"The next time you're frightened in the dark... Don't scream."
I can hear the smirk on his face in that line.
The movie even ends making me think of stupid sexy Vincent Price's mouth.

That was a fun ride on a loony 50s horror movie that only worked because it was a soap opera full of evil spouses, but mostly because of Vincent Price.
Thanks for another fun @Taweret
