| Summary |
Dr. Warren Chapin (Vincent Price, Edward Scissorhands) has made a surprising discovery - the spine-chilling sensation that people get when scared is due to a parasite that he dubs the tingler. Chapin concludes that in extreme circumstances, prolonged fear can cause the creature to damage a person's spine and even cause death if the victim can't scream, a theory that Oliver Higgins uses to deadly effect on his wife. Soon the tingler that killed the woman is on the loose. |
