Here in the US last evening, TCM showed "The Tingler". It wasn't bad for what it was. Before the doctor isolates the monster in the body of the deaf-mute woman, there is a scene in which he tries to provoke it in himself through the self-administration of what his assistant calls an "acid". In fact, the same character differentiates it from a drug. The doctor experiences terrible paranoia and hallucinations from his overdose. Is he experimenting with LSD?

And, yes, those very unexpected color sequences were shocking.
