#monsterdon Those are _NOT_ the sounds of a leopard. I can't quite place the creature, but not a leopard.
(Just so we're all clear, this must be pronounced "LEE-oh-PAAAARD")
"You were to come alone, Miss Leonora"
Leo-nora? Leo-pard? COINCIDENCE??βΈ
@diazona @bunnyhero @Taweret aw, looks like it's not on Tubi or youtube. oh well. #monsterdon
"The zoo owner was always on hand to make sure the leopard behaved, a gun at his hip in case things went wrong."
"My beloved leopard, but I will kill you without hesitation if you scratch the actress lady."
I'd take a shitty cgi leopard over that situation thanks
@apLundell ah he was so wasted there's no way he made it back home alive #Monsterdon

@kshernandez @Taweret It is the #monsterdon way
@JoeyBoughtACola we all did π
Cat Girl was denied her glory!
Just like the 1942 one, this is a very sad tale about misogyny and horrible men. The 1942 film is much better, though. I still want a version where the Cat Women get revenge.
Thanks everyone for joining and @Taweret for organizing! #monsterdon
@LingLass Scotland Yard giving him a hand with the body there too π¬
Next up: The Snake Woman. Literally the same movie, but with a snake.
This is not the ending I was hoping for #monsterdon
I award the Cat Girl (1957) 1 out of 5 angry lycanthropes. For a movie with cats and lycanthropy it was very boring. Most of the characters sucked. The main character fretting about her ancient curse sometimes approached being interesting, but the people she was fretting around made this less interesting.
The high point was the spooky gothic castle with the weird secret werewolf library, which is a nice feature. The low point was almost everything else.
@paco thanks for the stabilised version! #Monsterdon
Dorothy is doing lots of pointless running around. I'm expecting a quality scream any moment now.
She's going to kill the blond. Of all the people in this that I want to see killed, the blond is the least
#monsterdon Next time I'm accused of a hit-and-run, I'll just say "Let's just say it was a matter of mind over matter." and walk away mysteriously.
Cops love that.
The police are being suspicious in honestly a rather reasonable way
#Monsterdon Catholic School Girls In Trouble. I mean, itβs just screaming Sapphic subtext. Meow.
@jadebees Leopard on the street, kitty in the sheets? #iAmBeingAskedToLeave #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Family curse undone by roadkill incident. Film at 11.
#Monsterdon the canary is just an amuse bouche.
#monsterdon *Leonora stands at the curtains while Dorothy leaves the room*
she's trying to resist climbing them
Never call a catwoman "pet"
OOh back in the day they would give you a pot for hot water AND a pot of tea!
Psychiatrist: My prescription is shopping
"Tomorrow, I suggest you spend time with my wife, she's doesn't know of course, she'll be fine with all this though, absolutely fine...."
#monsterdon That hilarious "leopard" "growling" is just so out of place. It sounds like a dyspeptic hippopotamus or something.
The leopard transformation sequence was so far the most interesting part of this movie.
The leopard and Leonora connection is a little vague. She just kind of hangs out and urges the leopard to do some attacking?
#Monsterdon Sit in the back together. Get to know each other. Scissor and scream like howling banshees. Discovering a life without men. A life of sweet lesbianism. A lifetime supply of D cells and lots of soundproofing.
Cat Girl's dress is giving me John Singer Sargent vibes. #Monsterdon #CatGirl
Better crate her before the car ride
#monsterdon #catgirl1957
Okay, we're a little behind, but finally the lecherous hubby is getting the full leopar-eats-face treatment.
@SesameSquirrel #monsterdon
He was definitely my selection for first to meet the leopard up close.
#monsterdon CAT FIGHT CAT FIGHT CAT FIGHT
Cat Fight!
Wait, was one of the adulterers Wilhelm?
So the Leisure Suit Psychologist showed up and started puttering about. Lenora politely shows him her uncle's cool library about werewolves and explains that her uncle was also a cool werewolf, or rather werecat. But because Leisure Suit Psychologist sits on a Florida school board and decided that lycanthropy is too woke, he starts ripping them up and tries to burn them.
#monsterdon "Brian - stay and talk to me for a while."
She's going to fall asleep on his lap and he'll be inescapably trapped, we've all seen it a million times
Her old boyfriend is the local psychiatrist. What a coinky-dink.
@plaidtron3000 I think this is how the film is going to show us she's in control of the leopard, with her eyebrows
Dr. Feelgood in Da House! π
#TheCatGirl π #Monsterdon
so, if she is part of some leopard curse, that just means the family are closet Africans right?
Leopards HATE when people break ceramics
#Monsterdon Killer gas. Thatβs another family curse. Dont pull the tigers tail no matter how hard she asks you to!
@sean I hope this is the Thundercats origin story #Monsterdon
The hideous ruffles on Leonora's robe makes me feel like #BarbaraShelley is wearing a really unfortunate sofa cover from the 80s... whether the 1880s or the 1980s, who can say? #TheCatGirl π #Monsterdon
"The intellect of a man but the savage cunning of an animal"
We call them Billionaires now.
We all know how 50s ladies wake up with makeup already done.....
Big cats donβt growl while hunting. They are silent π€«
Is the standing man ABNORMALLY tall? #TheCatGirl πββ¬ #Monsterdon
oh goodness, i was looking at Barbara Shelley's filmography, and she starred in another killer cat movie! the trailer is wild
The end was kind of like An American Werewolf In London. Too bad the rest of the movie wasn't.
@Configures @yatsu that's what I was hoping but then I remembered it's The Met and they absolutely would cover for a murder if they just like the guy's swagger. #Monsterdon
Thank you, Monsterdonians, for such a fun first #Monsterdon! I hope to be back next week!
I've complained about some of the horny #monsterdon films in the past, but this one I think could've been a little hornier.
Remember, if the police ever say "hey maybe you hit [this corpse] with your car, her raincoat was in your grill, which is suspicious" you can say "I could explain but it's too complicated, let's just say it's mind over matter" and they'll drop the investigation, drive you home, and have your car washed for you
this concludes today's #monsterdon thread; as always, thanks to @Taweret for hosting!
Literally, anyone else, but especially her husband.
Thanks for the company #Monsterdon pals. Tomorrow at 8 P ET #MondayActionMovie closes out March with one of the greatest films of the 1990's......Take care. See ya soon.
And they fucked off into THE WORST ENDING EVER!!! #Monsterdon
'twas bumper killed the beast
Doing a police coverup for hitting a cat with a car. #monsterdon
Itβs her daemon
Quoth the raven, "Nevermora"
I don't remember how we transitioned to this, but we now have a chase scene where Dorothy is running from both Lenora and her pet Leopard, and Lenora is commanding her pet Leopard to eat her. But then Nick kills the Leopard with a car, which also causes Lenora to die, because witchcraft.
#monsterdon OH NO, leopard got doored!
Just assuming that as he's American, he should have a gun....
Leonora grinning like the cat who got the...
this is how people lived before mobile phones, it's agonising
Dorothy walks down the street, passes two Draculas, Blacula, an H-Man... #Monsterdon
rough neighborhood, what with the large cats and all #monsterdon
black rubber
sexay
All these docks are high rise apartments and commercial towers now....'Docklands'
"Hi hunni, meet me at the darkest, dankest old man pub in the docks, thanks bye"
that black dress sheβs wearing looks like itβs made of that legendary english wool jersey. iβve gots to get my hands on some of that fabric
Oh finally, an hour in and she does something cat-like
@SRLevine this doctor is playing games with people..... #Monsterdon
Bad puddy-tat!
#monsterdon
"Call it to the window, Leonora"
"Okay - kill, kill kill!"
"Whoa, how did you get from 'window' to 'kill'?"
Leisure Suit Psychiatrist assigns his wife to scope out Lenora and observe her reactions, so they go to a tea cafe, where the wife makes very normal conversation by saying things like "I love velvet!" and "When I die I want to be buried in velvet!", which is a thing that normal people do.
Roll credits! A successful psychiatric treatment!
I had this one girlfriend who would say "You're trying to make me think I'm crazy". I'd say "You've been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. I'm trying to get you to take your meds."
Why was the movie playing happy ending music when there's 15 minutes left?
Do you treat body dysmorphia by shaking the patient and shouting about their 'sick mind', I don't think so...
#Monsterdon The doctor simply has to be thrown into a wood chipper. Fargo style. I wouldnβt even gag him, Iβd record the screams and play them back over and over. Grrrrrind.
here kitty kitty kitty
#monsterdon
"Your sick mind"
Are we seeing Anti-Furry prejudice in this film? All the more reason for the Doctor to be face chewed
#Monsterdon Only made more perfect by having my cat in my lap while I watch. See Bailey? You too could have a curse! :)
Be careful. Cat Girl is now single and ready to mangle...MINGLE. I mean mingle.
Brian needs to have a plugged in toaster oven tossed into his bath. #monsterdon
Okay, I guess we only killed the husband with our cat minion. Lenore tries to confess to having a cat minion kill her husband to the police inspector, but he doesn't realize that this is a monster movie and instead thinks that the cat itself is to blame and she is being silly. hash tag believe women.
She also says that she would've eaten the other woman too, while she was in the room; harsh.
Itβs the power of the night
So I'm a little unclear how this Cat Girl curse works because it hasn't really been much of a curse yet. I guess Lenore is now mentally bonded to a great jungle cat but also has intrusive, cat-like thoughts to do violence?
