@Taweret also i think first poll where i just voted for all the options, these all look great. however i am a sucker for the 50's early 60's hyperventilating half-formed idea schlock so this devil doll trailer is really doing something for me.

@Taweret the full quote is "you'll learn the dummy's sinister secret only at the end of this most unusual suspense thriller. but for maximum shock sock, see it from the beginning" so like... they felt the need to explain both the entire concept of "stories having a linear order where some details are revealed after others" and also "in order to understand a story fully you have to hear the whole thing"
@jonny so, on the one hand, audiences then didn't understand the basic nature of storytelling. but on the other hand, they knew what a shock sock was. so it's hard to say which era is more cultured
