Dude, if you start tearing up ancient books in my house, I will sic more than the cats on you.

#monsterdon #thecatgirl

yeah there's the american burning books

#monsterdon #CatGirl1957

"let's not confuse fact and fiction. and let's not confuse wolves with leopards either!"

#monsterdon

They don’t read the books they just play with the ribbons #catgirl1957 #monsterdon

Circling back, why *DID* these two marry? Clearly they can barely stand each other.

#Monsterdon

@sealawyer yeah like what good is a cat curse if you can't even get the eyes

#Monsterdon

Sleep. SLEEEEEEEP!
#Monsterdon #CatGirl1957

Doesn't anyone in this place drink coffee?? Disappointed #Monsterdon #CoffeeWatch

Hmm, did couverture still obtain in England in 1957? That might literally be _his_ house.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon damn what's Allen holding

there's a leopard roaming free on the grounds.... welp, no reason to modify my social calendar #monsterdon

Is she just going to stare at her hands like she's on ketamine for half this movie?

#Monsterdon

Ah yes the jungles of Great Britain

#monsterdon

@socketwench he will find her scraping kitty litter for 10 minutes straight at midnight. #monsterdon

This prize gets a rating of 5.4/10 from IMDB users. By comparison, tomorrow evening's #MondayActionMovie (8 P ET) gets 3.4 so, be afraid.....#Monsterdon

#monsterdon "be a good girl"

Fuuuuh the 50s is strong with this film.

There is an urban myth of 'big cats' roaming the moors of Britain, former escaped pets....

#Monsterdon

ooooh, I see, she has the curse of HORNY

#monsterdon #CatGirl1957

This psychiatrist has routed his accent through three different countries to mask its origin #monsterdon

"Blood on my hands made me feel strange, excited, I can't quite describe it."

Movie isn't even trying to be subtle about how menstruation makes women into wild beasts is it?

#Monsterdon

SHE WILL KILL AND EAT YOU BRIAN, DON'T REJECT HER.

#Monsterdon

"Be a good girl-"

Kill! KILL!! #Monsterdon

oh yeah, sedate all your problems away! #monsterdon

@OldRustBucket@universeodon.com this is what I was promised!!! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon we’re one and the same. Gassy tigers. Pull my tail! Please! For the love of god! Grant me release! Light a match! Anyone have Febreeze!?!

. o O ( This is great! I'll be able to get her committed and have the whole estate! )

#monsterdon #CatGirl1957

"Brian, now you've dosed me up, fuck me...."

#Monsterdon

i love when fictional characters are like 'i can't believe i want to kill and eat animals, like an ANIMAL' when they're 100% omnivorous and eat meat all the time

#monsterdon

Isn't wanting to feel blood on your hands just the experience of being a woman in the 1950s? #Monsterdon

"Something to quiet your nerves" probably morphine... #Monsterdon #CatGirl1957

"I became like a savage animal!"

I ate three whole peanuts, I was out of control! #Monsterdon

I was hoping when she took off the sunglasses we'd see some late 1950s glass contact lenses to make her eyes look like cat eyes.

#Monsterdon

Did I just hear scratching at the door?

#Monsterdon

Uncle Vampire tells Lenora she must send her friends away from the spooky castle, and also dump her cheating husband, because their line needs to die out so no one is cursed by being a werecat.

She thinks this is dumb and/or horrible and runs away; then Uncle Vampire decides to sacrifice himself, which is done by breaking a ceramic cat and then letting his jungle cats eat him. Then the curse is transferred to Lenora.

#monsterdon

a "mental doctor" hmmm
#monsterdon

"So you're going to pass on a blood lust."
"Okay, great - let me get a coffee."

#monsterdon

I though she was going to rub the blood all over herself sensually, but no

#monsterdon

He DID ask for it...

#Monsterdon

Inspector: "He asked for it."

WTF? Is that his professional opinion?

#Monsterdon

Go on, girl get your transformation o-

oh

never mind :/ #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🐈 👧 🐈 👧 🐈 👧 😱

OH he gets to hug the leopard!

SHE'S GOT THE TASTE OF BLOOD #monsterdon

The ritual smashing of the sculpture! Ha! Now he's done it! Look out everyone! It's on!

#Monsterdon #CatGirl

I don't understand this curse.

Where does it come from?

#monsterdon #thecatgirl

Uncle nom-nom #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #CatGirl1957
A group photo before the slaughter begins!
- Barbara Shelley as Leonora Johnson
- Jack May as Richard Johnson (husband)
- Patricia Webster as Cathy (hottie)
- John Lee as Allan

yeah I'm not really seeing the downside here. You get his house and a huge pet cat.

Like, was the cat a complete dick to the guy or something?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Other *three rooms?

So you just assume she won't be sharing a room with her husband?

CAT HUGS!

#monsterdon

"Touch it" excuse me? #monsterdon

She didn't need much convincing to join the forces of darkness and abusive exotic pet care. But that instant regret!

#Monsterdon #CatGirl1957

NGL, being drunk makes this movie very enjoyable. #Monsterdon

You cannot escape your Destiny's Child?!?! #monsterdon

#monsterdon 🎵 touuuuuch it, it's so easy to leaaaaaaave it

No GO, girl, run around in the forest in a thin nightdress like a goth princess should! #Monsterdon

Wait so she doesn't turn into a cat, she just possesses a cat? Is that what the curse is implying? Boo! We want were-women!
#Monsterdon #CatGirl1957

So if they would just stop having kids the curse would end? Seems like an easy answer TBH

#monsterdon #CatGirl

It is the catification chamber! She’s now ready to be catified forever! #monsterdon

I have a husband, I am NOT a cat lady!!

#Monsterdon

Lenora was trained at the "don't move your face" school of acting.

#monsterdon

I don't think this kind of feline is native to england
#monsterdon

He's got a big art piece with a leopard chomping a chunk of a man!
That's a bold look. Probably was talked about down at the pub.

#Monsterdon #CatGirl

Cat powers acquired, I guess?

#Monsterdon

Wait... the curse is to have a constant feline companion? Quelle horreur! #Monsterdon

Behind the ears, please. #monsterdon

"...my cat name is Lionel, and you will now be known as Cheetara!"

#Monsterdon #CatGirl

" You have been reading too many of these books."

"I read them for the articles, not the pictures of naked women...."

#monsterdon

awww headpats for the kibty
#monsterdon

The writer of this film got really lost on their way to the vampire store. #monsterdon

UNLEASH THE BEAST
#monsterdon

Eat those 'friends', they're jerks

#Monsterdon

@riedlr Writer's barely disguised fetish strikes again

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “700 years ago we were cursed by a witch doctor! He called our family pussies. And so, we have fulfilled the prophesy!”

"Two separate entities. One a cat, one a girl."
#Monsterdon

Just having a leopard in a cage does not prove the curse is real

This is a hustle....

#Monsterdon

700 years? No wonder some of that taxidermy is tatty.

#Monsterdon

oh okay so the uncle is also a werecat

#monsterdon

"Desire for raw flesh"... uh.... is this a porn?

#monsterdon

Uncle just fired the housekeeper at 3AM in the morning? What a dick.
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Try not to moan about it old man. Now we’ll need more sanitary napkins! Jesus! Someone get the wet dry vac!

Wait, do they taxidermy their relatives?!?!?!

#Monsterdon

the curse of being forced to keep this creepy taxidermy on display

#monsterdon

"the curse... to lick myself as a cat, while thinking as a human...." #monsterdon

#Monsterdon you're mad! Only a madman would have more than 6 stuffed cats!

Secret of that room

Bluebeard references much?

#Monsterdon

I wonder how family curses are treated in estate law

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou Her hair is bulletproof #monsterdon

@brooke Very progressive for the 1950s theater.

#Monsterdon

"why is there kitty litter in the corner?" #monsterdon

Did he just fire her?
#monsterdon

Since they couldn't show anything, they had granny do some salacious exposition for us

#monsterdon

Do all the Housekeepers sound like Frau Blucher?
I didn't hear any horses whinnying.

#Monsterdon #CatGirl

Wait, she is sleeping NAKED? That IS wild, even for the 50s! Quit staring, hausfrau!

#Monsterdon

Elder gay energy.

#monsterdon #thecatgirl

@blue British audiences at the time would have gone wild #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon come please. Keep the screaming down. Grab a mop.

naked lady back, how continental #monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Oh! You made a yummy sound! Just then! Did you hear it?”

more like.... Meownton Abbey... am I right...

#monsterdon

Frau BLUCHER! #Monsterdon
