May the Jacob's Ladder concept rise again and may those breathing life into it, resist the urge to ruin it with a happy ending, as these fledgling pioneers were made to. The only one falling short in their duties as a wildly gesticulating distraction mechanism, in this early representation of the propaganda machine sputtering to life, was the young Mr. When she was aware of her surrounding enough to realize she was out of bed, hell awaited us unless she could be waylaid with something shiny, something loud, movement, perhaps a fire on the stovetop.


These exaggerated presentations bring back such memories - thank the Blessed Virgin Mary - they kept my mother from bitching about the lack of powerful sedatives for a brief, restful, bucolic moment. I was there when this whole TeeVee Hullabaloo was finding it's balance and am a fan of it's early attempts to sell watch bands and the like by inserting 'filler' between the commercials of such high caliber.

On the 3rd pull, a statue of what looks like the Virgin Mary comes out of the chute instead. One switch on a platform above the water can be pulled 4 times, and each time it is pulled, the camera cuts away to a body tumbling out of one of the 2 chutes on each end of the room. Towards the end of Chapter 4, just before Ruvik reveals himself and re-animates the dead in the room, Sebastian finds himself in a large room with a number of switches he has to pull in order to drain the water first.
