π£οΈ π£ THE TINGLER IS IN THE THEATER
π£οΈ π£ THE TINGLER IS IN THE THEATER
I wasn't expecting the tingler itself to be maybe the 3rd most dangerous monster #monsterdon
ok, was that real sign language?!?! that's absolutely unique in american movies
that was fun.
so the wife comes alive and Ollie the creep tries to scream but can't and it's The End.
so craptacularly magnificent
thank you guys for #monsterdon #TheTingler
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK
welp... doctor tingler is shooting up... for science!
SHE NOT DEAD!
HE USED A BLANK!
oh, and he did have a feral black pussy in the lab
#Monsterdon #TheTingler oh wait the sassy wife is still alive after being fake murdered? Still kind of a dick move to fake murder someone.
Also, I feel bad for the poor kitty in the cage. Free the kitty!
Also, WHY ARE LEAVING A DOG IN THE CAR? Bad 50s people, bad!
Next week, Godzilla vs. The Tingler? Godzilla has quite the scream after all. #Monsterdon
this porn is no good.
#Monsterdon if these events were real, I would probably conclude that #TheTingler was some sort of parasitic arthropod with psychic powers instead of a "creation of man's fear."
#Monsterdon At least by its body plan #TheTingler looks like an arthropod; pretty similar to the hypothetical Ur-Arthropod that was a head with a bunch of legged segments trailing behind it. However, it seems to have magical powers, that most arthropods probably don't have.
so now the husband gonna take the DEAD WIFE back to their HOME because it's totally normal to take the corpse of your wife back home.
the monster kind looks like it was design by a bargain basement Edvard Munch
#Monsterdon #TheTingler Wondering if the autopsy doctor has a fake skeleton in his lab for actual science purposes or just for vibes.
OH SNAP! he killed her!!!
wait... he's married and a cuck? she was tonguing her lover right in front of him? is this an open relationship?
"because she doesn't have vocal chords, she can't let out her fear... more like a psychosomatic escape"
so this is horror gamification; but make it Vincent Price
hell yeah
The movie Matinee (1993) is based on William Castle's movies and The Tingler in particular. There's actually a scene where John Goodman installs buzzers in theater seats. #monsterdon #TheTingler
You can see where a lot of later directors likely took inspiration from this movie. Aliens and Night of the Living Dead spring immediately to mind.
that is a really fun group watch movie
ty for joining, everyone!!
welp... now that i got my mad scientist thrills, amma lay the blame on you and snitch to the police... cuz you scared your wife to death not me.
kthanxbai
#Monsterdon I'm not very clear on why #TheTingler wants to kill people at all. Does it need to eat at all? If so, how does it survive in its intangible state? Does it just hate people and want to kill them? Is it just sick of people screaming and wants to make them stop?
#Monsterdon #TheTingler demonstrates the ideal arthropod body plan by having a weird spinal fear monster crawl across the projector. Very neat.
We could praise it for its contribution to science education, were it not for the rest of the science content in the movie.
π£οΈ π£ DO NOT PANIC BUT SCREAM FOR YOUR LIVES
so the wife totally drugged him and now the bug is chocking him while humping his chest
The Tingler's in heat. #Monsterdon
the wife vixen: let's celebrate your tingler
wife vixen: your wife is...
widow nouveaux: dead
wife vixen: sorry about your wife
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
#Monsterdon #TheTingler "I found my wife lying in the bathroom floor after the weird doctor gave her a mystery shot, so naturally I took her straight to the weird doctor who gave her a mystery shot!"
btw... he was not in pain. it was all in his mind π
Did he just offer her barbiturates then shoot her up with LSD?
Someone needs to take this guy's medical license. They put people in jail for that these days.
LSD is not a drug? I know some Grateful Dead fans who would disagree.
#Monsterdon #TheTingler is topping Godzilla movies on the bullshit science meter today.
"This is not good." <--most accurate thing anyone's said in this movie so far.
so he ALMOST scared her to death
so he could x-rays of her spine because... FEAR + TENSION = TINGLER! and then SNAP!
AND FOR SCIENCE! the fucker is now running an experiment on her. funny that's xrays and to this day that's exactly how it's done, LOL.
oooooh... so he married her the money so he could have a secret lab in the mansion? and she, obviously, married him for his... height. and big feet.
"And I'm not bad at autopsies either" is a threat only Vincent Price could pull off.
#Monsterdon #TheTingler Oh no Fear Scientist Vincent Price sees his wife make out with someone else and grabs a pistol. And then like threatens her ominously. Uh oh things took a darker turn here.
Unfortunately this is a Marital Troubles plot instead of a Spicy Polycule plot.
@Taweret Vincent Price would have exploded tumblr.
#Monsterdon #TheTingler
Price was a 6β² 4β³ bisexual goth icon. imagine the power he would have on the internet if he were alive today
oh, she's like one of those goats
Ah, the good ol' days, when every doctor's kit came with amyl nitrate 'poppers'.
It's weird that women don't faint from hysteria nearly as much as they apparently used to in Hollywood movies.
Still, this is the only Vincent Price movie I can think of where the wife of Vincent Price's character survives to the end.
@Taweret@octodon.social Thank you!
#Monsterdon
@Louisa The film leaves a lot of unanswered questions #monsterdon #TheTingler
That was amazeballs!
Thanks again to @Taweret for suggesting such a wonderful film, and hosting #Monsterdon
Tonight we had it all,
* A movie within a movie.
* Crazy science about fear that involved spine monsters.
* Vincent Price
* And a reminder to always scream!
#Monsterdon Oh shit the dead wife came back to life to Zombie murder her scummy husband! The Tingler was involved somehow, I guess?
Gonna guess that the dude dies because he can't scream or something. Who knows.
@queenofnoirs Every Sunday at 9:00 ET. The movies are usually available at Archive.org and a few other readily available places. So check the hashtag #Monsterdon to find out which movie and some of the places it may be available.
Pretty sure I wouldn't turn my back on Ollie after all this
so he brought the tingler to put it back into the dead wife. it escapes and now the tingler made a hole that leads to their theater.
the tingler is in the theater.
THE THEATER!!
THE TINGLER IS IN THE THEATER!
JUST LIKE THE THEATER YOU ARE IN RIGHT NOW!!!
#Monsterdon #TheTingler
I love it when old things are nostalgic for other even older things. #monsterdon
so the wife was shtupping Ollie, wasn't she?
i absolutely love the way they made the tingler move #monsterdon
#Monsterdon #TheTingler
(Finnish accent)
Welcome to Hydralic Press Channel! Today we are crushing arm of insane autopsy scientist! Autopsy Scientist is very dangerous and may attack at any time, so we must deal with it!
so the wife gets totally turned on by dead bodies
#Monsterdon #TheTingler While the research ethics in this movie are fucked up, its nice that the mad doctor at least had a sturdy box to put the scary arthropod in.
Maybe its needs some ventilation though? Do intangible fear arthropods need to breathe?
ill just carry my wife's corpse that you just cut open down to the police. im sure theyll have no questions
he's taking both his wife's death and the revelation that she was hosting a giant centipede incredibly well
just a real chill guy
so she now really dead of fright... and he's gonna do an autopsy on her right in front of her husband... and he's cool with that
#Monsterdon The Tingler!
#Monsterdon #TheTingler
Someone should double check the hippocratic oath to make sure it doesn't have an escape clause that allows you to pretend to give people calming drugs that are actually fear acid.
OH, best shot of the movie so far with the color blood in the B&W movie
#Monsterdon #TheTingler
The main risk of bumming rides off of autopsy doctors is that sometimes they might later try to kidnap your love ones in their quixotic quests to understand the true nature of fear.
True, its a risk, but sometimes there really aren't any better public transit options.
Ollie's ok with all of this because he needs another ride. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon #TheTingler The mad doctor has dropped acid and is bouncing around opening windows while saying that he can't open windows. His daughter and lab assistant debate if this is a good idea or not.
No ponies sited so far, but Mr. Bones has begun to wiggle in his mind.
fwiw they were looking at xrays of cervical bones not the cervix
"Captain's log, stardate 436.5. I'm gonna get SO FUCKING HIGH." #Monsterdon
micromilligrams, ah, pre-1960 "SI" #Monsterdon
@moira i am suspicious of a lot of this science #monsterdon
Well, at least they're not playing the "sexy time" music here. #Monsterdon
they absolutely had no student loans back then. that house is a museum.
did his daughter's boyfriend just joke with him about her being a hot pussy?!?
I expected we'd be making jokes like "hehehe, this movie doesn't know it sounds horny talking about tinglers" but instead this movie absolutely knows it's horny and it wallows in it
Wait. They need a cat for experimentation so they just run around in the back alley until they catch a cat?
That might not be correct procedure.
"I'm not really hungry, I ate at the office." #Monsterdon
Someone says "Golly" should've been on the bingo card. #Monsterdon
Gotta love these old-time small towns where the coroner is happy to give you a lift to the cinema.
#Monsterdon Pretty sure the guy's pass just says "I can do what I want. signed, the Space Pope".
Also, pretty sure that the electric chair hurts. Maybe that's wrong?
I am 100% here for the screaming floating heads; my assessment of 1950s cinema has gone up. #Monsterdon.
We open with screaming floating heads, love a good disembodied floating head #Monsterdon
They had to say some people are sensitive because not every theater had the vibrators installed or working on every seat #monsterdon
Started watching this Tingler movie on #Monsterdon, mostly to find out if I can finish a movie that does not have Godzillas in it.
#Monsterdon
Dyslexia reads that as Monster dong.
@CactuarJoe oh goddamn the idea of columbo stepping in and trying to sort out this mess xD
Man, everyone in that movie was kind of an asshole, weren't they? Ollie killed his wife, Vince PRANK-killed his wife, his wife drugged him, Vince's assistant runs around town kidnapping pets... Cops are gonna have a helluva time with that case. I feel like I watched the first five minutes of a Columbo episode stretched to an hour and a half. #Monsterdon
the bathroom scene with the blood was legit tho
@blogdiva "craptacularly" - perfect xD #monsterdon #TheTingler
So, the Tingler is a parasite created and maintained by human fear. Soooo, is it JUST fear that does that? Do I have actual parasitic butterflies in my stomach when I'm worried? What happens if I don't laugh when I think something's funny, will a foot-long crab burst out of my spleen and take over the poetry slam night? #Monsterdon
