The Fear Flasher and the Horror Horn

Man, modern reality TV could use a dose of these 1960s film techniques...

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,


the motion picture you are about to see contains scenes so terrifying, the public must be given grave warning. Therefore the management has instituted visual and audible warning at the beginning of each of the FOUR SUPREME FRIGHT POINTS... the HORROR HORN and the FEAR FLASHER. The FEAR FLASHER is the visual warning. The HORROR HORN is the audible warning. Turn away when you see the FEAR FLASHER. Close your eyes when you hear the HORROR HORN."

The movie, "Chamber of Horrors," features a guy forcing a minister to wed him to a dead woman. Awesome.
