Electroshock Scare-apy



It grows when it knows you are scared
So don't go to the show unprepared
Set your throat for a scream
at promotional scheme
if your row is electric'lly chaired



The Tingler
(William Castle, 1959). The Tingler was Vincent Price's second film with producer-director and all around cinema showman William Castle. Castle loved promotional gimmicks, and The Tingler featured "Percepto!", a tingling effect achieved by wiring selected theater seats to an electric motor that would buzz and vibrate.
