An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style B Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Tingler, the 1959 William Castle horror science fiction (sci-fi) thriller ("When the screen screams you'll scream too... if you value your life!"; "Do you have the guts to sit in this chair?"; "Percepto! Newest and most startling gimmick on the screen!"; "Can you take it while The Tingler breaks loose?"; "Guaranteed 'The Tingler' will break loose in the theatre while you are in the audience. As you enter the theatre you will receive instructions... How to guard yourself against attack by The Tingler!"; "Filmed in Percepto!"; "Written by Robb White") starring Vincent Price, Judith Evelyn, Darryl Hickman, Patricia Cutts, Pamela Lincoln, and Philip Coolidge. Note that this film had a really wonderful "gimmick" in it, where Judith Evelyn is in a bathroom, and although the film is entirely black & white, for this one sequence, they filmed it in color, and Evelyn turns on the sink tap, and blood comes out, and then she turns to the bathtub, which is filled with blood, and a bloody hand comes out of the water! They managed to make everything else appear black & white EXCEPT for the blood in the sink and the blood and hand in the bathtub, and this was done by painting everything else in the bathroom black and white, and even applying makeup to Evelyn, so she appeared to be in black & white!

Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It has tiny staple holes and creases around the edges and a few scuffs within the image. Note that the poster has a very minor printing defect, which is a series of faint light pink and blue lines down the left edge of the left blank border. This was a very minor printing defect that occurred during the printing of these half-sheets, and it is found on many 1950s and early 1960s half-sheets, and few collectors consider it much of a defect at all, because it is in the left edge of the blank border, has no effect on the image, and would likely be on all examples of this poster.
