A pathologist experiments with a deaf-mute woman who is unable to scream to prove that humans die of fright due to an organism he names The Tingler that lives within each person on the spinal cord and is suppressed only when people scream when scared.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'The Tingler' is a pure horror/sci-fi film with no discernible connection to the Christmas season, plot, themes, or iconography. All classification criteria score 'None'."
