Etymology
Tingler as a film title comes from the word tingle ('a small, sharp feeling') plus the common ending -er ('one who causes'), so it suggests a creature or thing that makes you feel a sudden chill or shiver. That's why the movie's name and tricks were meant to make the audience feel 'tingling' fear.
