“I knew why those movies weren’t successful,” John Waters reflects on the Sixties cinema gimmick Smell-O-Vision, in which films were attempted to be enhanced by scents being piped into theaters. “It was because they had nice smells. I wanted bad ones.” Screenings of his 1981 black comedy Polyester, starring Divine as a suburban mother besieged by bullshit, included scratch-and-sniff cards with plot-corresponding scents like airplane glue and farts.
