A remake of The Tingler!?

Sounds like a totally different movie to me. I bet they don't even wire up the seats like William Castle did.

The Tingler

Looks pretty similar, although I imagine it will have to be a very different story, since the original premise would probably be too silly for audiences today. Of course, that's the same silliness that makes the Tingler so much fun. This is probably the last Castle flick I ever thought anyone would remake.

So this is not connected with the same people who remade House on Haunted Hill and 13 Ghosts?

Sorry, but no CGI Tingler fer me, thanks.
This may be good, if done right.
Hmmmmmmmmm I dunno, why don't they leave William Castle in peace?

I agree with onionhead and trek_geezer (how old are both of u - if u don't mind telling :) I'm 29) & Caslte was a true 'crap' artist - in a good way, of course. & Vincent Price - a true artist and professional up to the very end. RIP

They've gone TOO far with this! Leave the tingler alone! Without Vincent Price it won't be as good and with CGI (and I'm expecting R rated Gore) it'll be another inferior remake.

reagan:

What's that mean? "Calm down!"? or "I'm with ya!"?

reagan · November 15, 2004, 10:22:54 PM

heck, no. Aren't those remakes bad - like House on Haunted Hill - Spooky (sat in theatre scaring pants off - don't you love Jeffery Combs? ) Then it turned to a CGI laughfest. Love the old days of Latex and foam.

daveblackeye15 · November 15, 2004, 10:52:54 PM

So you're saying you're with me on the part of "no remakes, no CGI"? cool. I'm seventeen but I love latex and foam, and puppets and machanics!

This is most certainly a bad idea.

And it looks like the guys at "Dark Castle Films" are behind this one. You know them. The same guys who made crap like 13 Ghosts, House On Haunted Hill, Gothika, etc. Why do they feel the need to crap on everything that Castle gave us?

There is a possibility that Dark Castle isn't behind it, but from doing some research it looks like they may be. This film is being made for Columbia Pictures who seems to have strong ties to Dark Castle.......

I will certainly go see this film if there is some type of jump inducer as Castle had before. One can only imagine the possibilites, especially with our more advanced technology.

The producer is Neal Moritz who has done movies like 2Fast2Furious, Sweet Home Alabama, The Skulls II&III, and the remake of S.W.A.T.

The writer is a guy named Greg Pace, who from what I can tell hasn't done much writing except for a documnentary about racing.

Mr_Vindictive · November 17, 2004, 10:18:13 AM

Yeah, I definently do not have a good feeling about this flick.

2Fast2Furious, The Skulls 2 and 3?

Arrrgh....

>I bet they don't even wire up the seats like William Castle did.

In this day and age??? If they did that they'd get sued by some idiot claiming that they were traumatized by the experience, that they can no longer go to the theater, that they suffered nervous system damage, etc.
