When one of the movie co-stars was from your hometown, in addition to such a new technology, the attraction simply got better.

Once upon a time, meaning half a century ago, in the days when filmgoers were even more innocent and tolerant of Hollywood's enthusiasm for concocting shameless shlock than they are today, a movie called The Tingler was released.

"Is there a doctor here?" asks Tim Burton , feeling his wrist for a pulse, "I think I might be dead." That wouldn't be out of character.

Halloween isn't a time of year normally associated with great style, unless you consider zombie Elvises or slutty cheerleaders the height of sartorial sophistication.

As with so many cinematic experiences in my misspent youth, Michael Reeves's Witchfinder General was well-prepared for by copious before-the-fact study ; the film itself eventually functioned as confirmation of what had been read beforehand - thus no dark and unexpected encounter with primal fears here, I'm afraid.

"Scream, scream for your lives. The tingler is loose in the theater," yells Dr. Warren Chapin, as played by Vincent Price, during a scene from "The Tingler."
