about

Based on the William Castle film "The Tingler", starring Vincent Price! This movie used a gimmick to scare people in the movie theater when it originally debuted... this song is our love letter to classic, gimmicky horror films!
Written to be an opening song in live sets, this track is made with the intro to the film, and screams from the theater scene - the lyrics are made up of random lines pulled from the script!

lyrics

The power of the Tingler!
I took her to the funeral home.
It broke out of the box!
Exactly!
Boo!
Wait! I brought a dog!
I was going to use this cat.
How was your experiment?
When I finish rearranging things, it'll look like suicide.

("Ladies and gentlemen, please do not panic! But scream! Scream for your lives! The Tingler is loose in this theater! And if you don't scream, it may kill you! << SCREAMS>> Scream! <<SCREAMS>> Keep screaming!! <<SCREAMS>>)

I want to personally sense the power of the Tingler
In a controlled experiment with my own fear
Perhaps I will find out all of the things we have to know
Only nothing scares me.
But you're having nightmares.
Sharp stinging sensation!
Definite blurring of vision now.
THE WALLS!
THE TINGLER... IS LOOSE... IN THE THEATER!!
THE TINGLER ... IS LOOSE... IN THE THEATER!!
SCREAM!!
SCREAM FOR YOUR LIVES!!!
