This is the kind of "horror" films I grew up with. There are two actors who can bring this kind of film to life - Vincent Price, who is in this film, and Christopher Lee, who, regrettably, isn't. However, this film is so cheesy that it's great. It seems that each of us has a creature living inside us, attached to our spines. When we experience fear, this creature, called a "Tingler", feeds on that fear and grows. Once it grows large enough, it'll kill it's host (that being you, of course). So how can you fight this insidious horror? Scream! Scream a lot. Scream loudly and often. Scream for your life! It's so "hokey" that it's a great film. The cast for this film is a very small one, and Price is the only "name" out of the whole bunch. The story is written fairly well, about average for it's day. Price does his usual great job in this, a fairly typical Price film. I gave it a 7 and I like it!
