Classic William Castle. The movie itself isn’t worth much, just a low-budget tale of a cruel baron who enlists the aid of a famous neurosurgeon to fix his man-who-laughs face. But the twist comes at the end with the “punishment poll,” a supposedly interactive (decades before anyone thought of the term) chance for the audience to decide whether the villain should get off scott free or die horribly. Needless to say, Castle only shot the “die horribly” ending. Still, it was a nice gesture. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
