@Terencio Sadly far from a record for #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#Monsterdon 👩 😏 👻 🎎 👹 😱

a ventriloquist AND a mesmerist? In this economy?

It looks like they tried to soften the MAD Magazine look on the doll a bit, which somehow is worse. Just go full Alfred E. Neuman, it looks less uncanny. #monsterdon

Does the doll turn to the devil because the ventriloquist rubs his nose in the supporting, never top billing before every single performance? #monsterdon

Doll Jail

#Monsterdon

Nobody puts dolly in the corner!

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

...So. No dialogue? Anything? Okay. #Monsterdon

We have smoking right off the bat!

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

That ass tho.

On the dummy I mean.

#Monsterdon

THE GREAT VORELLI

"VORE" really?

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#Monsterdon

When ticketmaster takes over the market, this show is all they can afford. #monsterdon

It's okay, everyone can relax, I'm here

#DevilDoll1964 #Monsterdon

creeped out already by that ventriloquist dummy

#monsterdon

I suppose Devil Dummy doesn't have the same ring.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

SLARK is the second-most-popular Futurama drink, well behind SLURM

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

boom baby there we go show me that doll #monsterdon

30 seconds in and my life goal is make creepy doll friend and cruise around #Monsterdon

The Devil Doll title card is not subtle

SEE!! THIS IS THE DOLL!! The one in the cab with the evil magician-looking guy with the beard and the smirk and the cape
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I would pay for that guy's eyebrows

Okay I'm loving this intro music.

#Monsterdon

Typical 1960s tense, dramatic music while absolutely nothing is happening.
#monsterdon

wasn't there a season of the old Dr who where the master had an evil doll or something?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👩 😏 👻 🎎 👹 😱

these credits are in the beverly hillbillies font?

Honestly he's just an Okay Varelli.

#Monsterdon

Devil time!

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Delicious Coca-Cola refreshes you best!

#monsterdon

Devil Doll (1964) #monsterdon now playing on https://miru.miyaku.media :miyaku:

5..4..3..2..1... TOUCHDOWN!

.. I mean .. errr

GO GO GO!

#monsterdon

A small boy and an even smaller cocktail toothpick sword are the last hope to save the world.
#Monsterdon #SuperbMothra

Oh no, is Hugo humping the girl doll already?

#monsterdon #DevilDoll

Mothra doesn't understand Japanese so the fairy has to translate for her.
#Monsterdon #SuperbMothra

There's only one sure fire way to kill King Ghidorah! Time travel! Wait what? I guess I wasn't off base with my Lavos quip earlier.
#Monsterdon #SuperbMothra

"When I call, you will come."

"Does the phone just have to ring? Or do I have to pick up the phone and KNOW that it's you? What if someone, like, disguises their voice as yours? What counts as KNOWING?"

#monsterdon #DevilDoll

Sisterly sword fight is a little slow but decent wire work.
#Monsterdon #SuperbMothra

Belvera has massive eldest child syndrome.
#Monsterdon #SuperbMothra

I'm confused, what does King Ghidorah have to do with the child-stealing meteorite?

A space dragon's favorite snack food is moth meat.
#Monsterdon #SuperbMothra

@tankgrrl I'm sorry I didn't

(not really, but it was that kind of movie)

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Oh right! I wasn't paying attention much #monsterdonbingo
#Monsterdon

Those bright wing colors mean Mothra is poisonous, right? Like butterflies?

#Monsterdon
#RebirthOfMothraIII1998

@paco @starkraving666 lol yeah too much thinking for sure

I like where you're going with this though

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@diazona Yes. Needlessly complicated. But if you look at his face in the beardless flashback, he has signs of cystic acne or some other skin condition. It's entirely possible the actor couldn't grow a decent beard. If you're more set on the actors than the plot (and who wouldn't be?), this is an easy adjustment.

That's entirely too much thinking for this film.

#monsterdon

@starkraving666

@davesdogmaggie
Yvonne Romaine is kind of magnificent. And that fake beard is Grey Warden Commander Duncan awesome!
#Monsterdon

AH, because he wasn't in school he didn't get abducted and can save the day.

#Monsterdon
#RebirthOfMothraIII1998

Pied Piper of Hamelin, only with kaiju?

#Monsterdon
#RebirthOfMothraIII1998

Tokyo Tower collapse would definitely bee on the Kaija bingo card.

#Monsterdon
#RebirthOfMothraIII1998

Mothra vs an extinction level event meteor.
#Monsterdon #SuperbMothra

Please flee in terror in an orderly manner!

#Monsterdon
#RebirthOfMothraIII1998

@paco @starkraving666 IMO it seems like a much more complicated story than that he simply grew a beard

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

What a weird knife.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll

FOUND THE EDIT

Guess maybe there was a nipslip when post-coital blond assistant turned over?

#monsterdon #DevilDoll

Ahhhhh, there's the edit :bta:​ #monsterdon #devildoll1964

"I am the great Vorelli."

Completely redeemed by the twist at the end! 👍

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

IS MISTER ENGLISH WEARING A TERRIBLE HAIRPIECE? IS IT DIAGETIC TOO?

#monsterdon #DevilDoll

@starkraving666 Yes! You missed this plot point, too! Now I don't feel so bad for missing it.

The whole idea was that a year earlier he was in Germany with no beard and that's when his assistant somehow tragically died and had his soul stuck in the dummy.

The reason no one in London recognizes him, is because of his crafty disguise!

But I had to have that explained to me tonight. So I am glad to have some company in the head-scratching club.
#monsterdon

Why is Mr English the only one without an English accent?

#monsterdon #DevilDoll

Mom, watching hypnotist making out with the blonde assistant: "Now she's going to have the beard on?"

LOLOL

#monsterdon #DevilDoll

@ramsey @jonny They were just flirty not married

or that's how i remembered it

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

I'm just going to assume all these kids are getting isekai'd into the worlds where they are the Chosen One.

#Monsterdon
#RebirthOfMothraIII1998

@jonny Was he Marianne’s husband? I didn’t get that impression at all. Maybe I missed something.

#Monsterdon

Omg the fake beard is literally falling off WHY IS IT THERE #monsterdon #devildoll1964

RE: https://toot.wales/@AlexLloyd/116038555557341086

Hey. Just wondered if anyone out there in Europe wants to do something like monsterdon over here, maybe at 9pm CET? 👇

#monsterdon #monsterdonalert

@jonny ran out of negative, had to go with what they had

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Did Lavos just crash into the local forest? Meteorite is awfully suspicious.
#Monsterdon #SuperbMothra

@JoeWynne You have a head injury as an excuse for watching this. What about the rest of us? 😃

Get well soon!
#monsterdon

School Refusal?

#Monsterdon
#RebirthOfMothraIII1998

@combatwombat And they had their own weekly TV special 😛

#Monsterdon

The King of Terror is a great title for a Kaiju. Almost a shame they are just using it for Ghidorah again. I love that --is that a Miles Tails Prowler plushie?-- giant golden dfragon, but Toho falls back on Ghidorah too much.
#Monsterdon #SuperbMothra

So.. rape. This is rape. Nice. Can we not?

#monsterdon #DevilDoll

@jivens Yeah that checks out

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

finished watching Devil Doll 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑
Watched in #Monsterdon watch party on Mastodon.

So, they are magical girls?

#Monsterdon
#RebirthOfMothraIII1998

BITE 'IM HUGO

#monsterdon #DevilDoll

Thanks @Taweret & the #Monsterdon gang

Remember, if a ventrilohypnoquist asks for a sleepover, just say no!

Shoulder-pads!

#Monsterdon
#RebirthOfMothraIII1998

Couldn't they find a puppeteer who knew how to make the mouth move in reasonable sync with the speech? It feels like no effort was made at all.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll

Well, that was certainly a movie. With an ending. Sort of. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Ok, see if you believe he's this good of a ventriloquist, you lock him up anyway because it's all an act. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👩 😏 👻 🎎 👹 😱

That was not a good one it had no animals in it at all. I did admire Aunt Eva though.

Thanks @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for bingo and @JoeWynne for the trivia; and of course thanks to all you great #Monsterdonians who kept it from being horrible! Huzzah!

@sean I was just searching for a pic of her.

#Monsterdon

@jivens such an improvement in quality

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#Monsterdon

Yeah no that movie was

Dum.

Thanks to the crew and @Taweret as usual and have a good night!

And 20 seconds of twist right at the end! It's over! Got you! Bye! #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

I think we are all the dummy for subjecting ourselves to that movie

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting! On to Rebirth of Mothra III, or see you next week!

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Nice hair hat lady #monsterdon #devildoll1964

so... um... yeah 'k that ended

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Wouldn't it be a more appropriate dramatic reversal if Hugo, I'unno, stabbed Vorelli?

#Monsterdon

Does Ms Pirelli's new hair snap on like lego?

#monsterdon #DevilDoll

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

And now, five hours of hypno-toad!

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

❤️ Thank you @Taweret for hosting this dastardly doll dramedy!

🅱️ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite: "Sneak attack"

🎞️ and more thanks to @paco for data analysis and @combatwombat for the replays.

🦖And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: You put the devil in Devil Doll! (Someone had to) I'm recovering from a mild concussion and saved up all my screentime today FOR THIS. And it was WORTH IT!!

New exercise craze in the making, right there. Dummycise. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Hmmm #rebirthofmothra3. I think I'm mothera'd out 🦋 #Monsterdon #Monsterdon2

I need y’all to know I practically never log a #Monsterdon movie on Letterboxed because I’m terrified of how that would make me look 😂

That was actually a good movie!? I enjoyed it. Perfect ending. #Monsterdon
