Plot

In the shadowy world of pathology, Dr. Warren Chapin stands as a man consumed by a chilling theory. Day after day, he performs autopsies on prisoners snuffed out by the State's hand, his mind swirling with thoughts of fear and its tangible manifestations. He believes in the existence of a creature dwelling within us all, an entity he dubs 'the Tingler,' born and fed by our deepest fears. In Chapin's hypothesis, it is our screams, our vocal outpourings of terror, that keep the Tingler at bay. Yet, what happens when someone is unable to scream? This question finds an unsettling answer when he encounters Ollie and Martha Higgins, proprietors of a quaint, second-run movie theater. Martha, robbed of her voice and hearing, epitomizes Chapin's perfect test subject. With the aid of LSD, fueling nightmares and escalating fears, Chapin embarks on an experiment that teeters on the edge of madness. Will the Tingler come to life and grow, thriving in the silence of Martha's fear? The suspense mounts as Chapin delves deeper into the labyrinth of terror, where screams are silenced, and the Tingler lurks, ready to awaken.
