C'mon Marianne, have some standards, *nobody* in this movie is attractive except for you

#Monsterdon 👩 😏 👻 🎎 👹 😱

why is this scene this long

yes daddy, force me to do the twist on stage and lick my collarbone

#Monsterdon

This investigator guy is giving off some Kevin Spacey vibes. #monsterdon

MOOOOOOO-OOOOM THE HETS ARE BEING HETTY AGAIN

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

For charity. Not for any creepy nefarious suggestive monologue purposes. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Hey GF can u whore for my news story
literally
#monsterdon

Are all the men in this creeps?
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Traditionally, Ventriloquism is not considered a staple of the stage hypnotist's act.

Wow, this is one handsy fellow #monsterdon

"... for charity!"

#Monsterdon

alternate title: "Everyone's a Dummy for Hugo"

#monsterdon

And I'll take a damn good phony over a mediocre honest man any day of the week.

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

"His act's certainly different"

No it ain't.

#Monsterdon

"It's all in your silly imagination, woman" #horrorbingocard #monsterdon

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

That dummy is fascinating... art imitates life!

I think she's still hypnotized. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

“For charity” #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Starring Clint Eastwood as Blondiebork Clementine as Dr. Strange as Dr. Vorelli

#monsterdon Jeff Dunham has better possessed dummies in his act. “Where is ... Walters... cold... hands?”

Now back to doll jail

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

Later this dummy would star in The Talons of Wang Weng-Chiang in Doctor Who. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll

let's watch the forced perspective totally not work!

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

UH

#monsterdon

pure unadulterated hatred is such a great schtick to do with your dummy, everyone can relate to hating the arrogance of some little piece of shit kid #monsterdon

i'm chosing to believe the creepy music is diagetic.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#monsterdon Also, it would seep into your wood and cause splitting, and then you'd start to bulge out of the side and look like Quasimodo…

The idea that all human knowledge (like how to dance) is somehow latent in everybody's brain is somehow even more LLM-esque

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Treat a child-sized pleading entity with contempt. That's entertainment! #monsterdon

Thus dummy seems ready to run for president. #monsterdon

The extreme face close-ups are successfully unsettling.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

"You are a dummy, Hugo"

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

"so now after they saw this guy awaken some WWII PTSD and this woman could suddenly do the twist, the audience is completely sold on the magical powers of the magician" #monsterdon

@jonny

Dummy Abuse!

#Monsterdon
#DevilDoll1964

fun fact: Chubby Checker is still alive though probably not doing The Twist #Monsterdon

its mouth doesn't even move right what the fuck

#monsterdon

"....he can Break dance!"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon *Doll comes out. Half the audience just leaves.*

Random people in the audience are smoking. The way it was in those dyas.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

All that smoking in the auditorium #Monsterdon

A young Quentin Tarantino watching Devil Doll and taking notes ("don't put hypnotist stage show in movie")

#Monsterdon

I, of course, meant the term "expert" very loosely. #Monsterdon

@cocaine_owlbear @Terencio lol yeah, personally I don't have it as the absolute worst but it was baaad

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The Studebaker Loofah Wash Dance Craze of the mid sixties, I would presume. LOL

Why didn't he warm up with this? What is wrong with this guy.
Throws tomatoes.
#Monsterdon

*shows someone unspeakable horrors*
Now that we've got that out of the way, a dance break!
#monsterdon

In college, we had a hypnotist visit the campus for a show. He said he was gonna hypnotise me into thinking I was Madonna, then started playing "Material Girl," a song I was unfamiliar with at the time (I didn't listen to much music back then). So I pranced around the stage singing "I don't know this song. I don't know this song" over and over. #monsterdon

Wow, this went from zero to Dance Number fast.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Nice to see the professional dancer didn't let his chin amputation hold him back.

#Monsterdon

Time to boogie....#monsterdon

this is a WEIRD vibe for a talent show y'all

#monsterdon

The Great Vorelli is actually just a pickup artist. His whole act is “negging” people into doing what he asks.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

I'm hypnotised by Ms. Horn's excellent eyelashes #Monsterdon

Lady, I don't dance.

I try and I think God cries out of shame.

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

@fluffy It's best not to think too hard about these movies... just saying

#monsterdon

SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

I, the Great Vorelli, just caused a man to nearly shit his pants in terror on stage. Now, who'd like to be the next volunteer to come up here on stage?
#monsterdon

Perhaps Vorelli could not conjure a real beard to grow, so he switched to hypnotism.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

#Monsterdon 👩 😏 👻 🎎 👹 😱

DO NOT LOOK INTO HIS EYES

"You seem like a very shy girl"

Oh no it's just that I'm so happy to be on stage in front of all these people about to become mortally terrified

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

@amyfou ABSOLUTELY. Shakespeare knew who he was writing for

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Anyone want to volunteer to be absolutely traumatized?
#Monsterdon

Did my video just freeze, or... Oh no, just terrible cinematography. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Foley artist is all "I'll just drop a bag of bricks down the stairs. That'll sound like applause right? #Monsterdon #DevilDoll

So given that this is talking about when Mr Harrison in China, there's a real possibility that the soldier would have been a member of the IJA

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

And now.. beatnik poetry...

"steve stop banging those drums. i know they're fun but the viewers need to hear the dialog"

#Monsterdon

Derren Brown wouldn't do this sort of shit...

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964 "I just traumatized this man for your entertainment! I'll be here all week"

💸 Low Budget Film School 👿🎎

Don't use expensive equipment and complex blocking unless absolutely necessary.

Like Devil Doll, which was put in the can for only $60,000-$75,000. That's lower than classic B sci-fi movies. Director Lindsay Shonteff shot in mostly close-ups, cheaper in that they avoided complex lighting of an entire set.

#DevilDoll

@Terencio Yeah I don't remember the name but it went like 15 minutes without anyone speaking

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Damn dude, you gonna do aftercare on stage, too? #Monsterdon

why would anyone else want to volunteer after that #monsterdon

"Now everyone in the audience, don't give away the gag that I actually have flown in a Chinese soldier to shoot this guy right here on stage."

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

Basically this guy just gets off on traumatising WWII vets

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@diazona #monsterdon

oooh yeah there was "Frankenstein, holder of the prisoner Dracula" or something like that, right?

"I am going to make this man believe he could die at any moment"

So he's going to show him WebMD? #Monsterdon

Uhh… fuck this guy.

#Monsterdon

I expect this Vorelli guy to start ranting about Manos, not gonna lie.

#monsterdon

...Was Vorelli in Da Nang or what? #Monsterdon

Mr. Harrison was already knee-deep into a full-blown freakout before Vorellia said anything. #monsterdon

It's more fun for everyone if you just make him think he's a chicken.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

Oh hey, it's my sleep paralysis demon!
#Monsterdon

wait where does this fit in with Tianamen

uhh
uhhhhhh

#monsterdon

"On your knees ... ON YOUR KNEES"

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

is this how Vorelli starts his grindr hookups?

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#Monsterdon 👩 😏 👻 🎎 👹 😱

he turned into an XRAY!

jesus dude just make him quack like a duck

#Monsterdon

"I'm going to suggest to this man that his life is in danger."

*turns to guy*

"YOUR LIFE IS IN DANGER!!!" #Monsterdon

and for tonight's halftime show, the great vorelli!

#monsterdon

Maryanne regrets this date

Does the Movie Expert Have a Pipe? dot com #monsterdon

I'm getting 2001 vibes from this guy. #monsterdon

Love the thin ties of the 60s
#monsterdon

For a movie set in checks notes London, there are surprisingly few English accents.
#monsterdon

It’s funny how many puppets from mid-20th century just LOOKED like that, with that weird half-smirk permanently carved on

Like, my dad had a dummy puppet he’d bring out and play with with us every once in a long while, and it had the same smirk if not the same eyebrows #Monsterdon

Gah! Whited out there for a second. What did I miss? #Monsterdon
