I realize that it was filmed that way,the color scene hadn't been seen in years,when I said "Restored" I meant that the B/W footage was removed and replaced with color,the way Castle would have intended it to be seen.
the tingler is the first real horror movie that i recall seeing. i saw it a number of times when i was a young child near detroit in the 1970s. it was on a local channel that had horror movies on late one day a week. ( probably friday night ). these horror movies were hosted by someone called "the ghoul". i often had a baby-sitter back then, and these were her favorite kind of movie. unfortunately i often fell asleep, and yet she would generally wake me up in time for the scene in the bathtub.
Ahhhh....so sad that you saw it on TV in the 70's, When I was 8 years old this movie and House On Haunted Hill were double billed in theaters as a Halloween special in 1960, scared the shit out of me. The theaters had rubber lobster things they tossed on the floor during the movie and would shine their flashlights on them, a floating skeleton came out in the ceiling between shows, hooked me on horror movies forever. I started killing people a few years later.
I wasnt even born when this movie came out but my family are some real movie buffs and I ended up seeing it anyway and I have to say for a 1950's movie it was very creepy
You are half right. The whole scene was shot in color, but everything was painted in gray and they put gray makeup on the actress to simulate black and white. The video release thought they would fix it, so they actually desaturated all the color from the image and rotoscoped in the blood color. Kind of a shame, as cheesy as the effect looked in the theater, it should have been preserved for the video.
I am glad that the color scene was finally restored. When the film went to television ,it was seen only in B/W. It was not the same seeing it that way.
fucking awesome please post whole movie or FUCKING DIE ASSHOLE

William Castle was the master of gimmickery. What's funny is that they paid a direct tribute to him in the movie Matinee.

The story and concept is great. The movie wouldn't have been as good without Vincent Price.

did they film the girl in b&w and the tub in color but paint the background grey to give a look of black and white?
