LSD in Cinema

[davemarc]

Well, The Tingler is the one with Percepto--electric buzzers under selected
seats.  The movie (not Percepto, though) was somewhat influenced by
Diabolique.

I believe there's a skeleton in the LSD sequence of The Tingler, but the
William Castle movie with the plastic skeleton moving along a wire (Emergo)
is House on Haunted Hill, which also featured Screeno (a lighting tick
reveals a theoretically frightening sight behind the screen).
