it could indeed resemble him. but it doesn't.
"It was a long time ago. I was younger"
Yeah that's how time works lady #Monsterdon
what kind of evil bastard makes those things though...
"Vee haf vayz of making you talk"
... is the motto of the German Guild of Ventriloquists
Um, line?
Because I'm being extra, a snow rim on my random box wine π· βοΈ #Monsterdon #DevilDoll
was Hugo the professional dancer from the first scene?
Voreli's backstory is that he used to be a doctor then he studied... drumbeat... "The Mysteries of the East!" and learned how to separate souls from bodies from a lama or something. Anyway he used to have an assistant named Hugo whose soul is stuck in the doll now I guess.
@athena_rising if we lick it we might get lucky and get out of this film quickly. Goooo lucky arsenic.
#Monsterdon
Excellent German/Polish/French accent. #monsterdon
βKicked out of the medical societyβ Uh oh. #Monsterdon
holy shit we have 20 minutes left and we're doing a full "visit the old country and discover the origin of the dummy" instead of getting 15 minutes of dummy carnage #monsterdon
'twas a long time ago... this movie started...
BUM BUM BUUUUMMMMMM!
#monsterdon
Another doll being subjugated by this man. At someone point we have to consider that the problem is him. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll πͺπ΅πΎββοΈπ₯πΏ
@steggy I don't think my brain could take the shock of that drastic a change
Hugo's a common name, tho. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Has anyone tried snapping their fingers at the patient?
Just waiting for someone to say "Frau BlΓΌcher" and then the horses whinny. #monsterdon
"are you a cop?"
"no."
"oh alright then, no worries."
π€¦
Oh Pan-Am, when they had real silverwear on airplanes...

This guy isn't looking at the road

"If you're a cop, you have to tell me."
Creeper stare tilt from camera one. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964
Gonna start drinking to "and all that jazz" #monsterdon
@gblues It was giving Dracula vibes, now Bride of Frankenstein. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll

I don't think the tibetans would have helped him with that tho
Exposition drop!
#Monsterdon
The βmysteries of the Eastβ
Aaaand thereβs the racism. Just in case you were wondering #Monsterdon
Re-incarnation!
"He also spent a year working in a bowling alley in Cleveland, but we don't think that's relevant."
I just had a funny vision of the new assistant being Lucy Ricardo trying to break into showbiz, and the movie taking a hard turn into comedy.
Egypt is part of "The East"?
Not the llamas in Tibet!
This camera motion is what we call "the male gaze" #Monsterdon
#monsterdon OMG THAT ACCENT
Exposition!
This entire film is a sedative.
So, Vorelli, not happy on having one ugly doll is going to have a female ugly doll?
What a weirdo...
#monsterdon
#devildoll1964
Are you sure youβre ready Grace? Letβs go over it again. You hand me the ham and walk off. Got it?
#monsterdon
slept all day
We've got that traveling music to propel the plot while we watch the plane land and get in another cab.
so, things do eventually Happen in this movie, do they?
You'd think Mr. Corelli would get *better* with each new doll he built. Sadly that is not the case #Monsterdon
Voreli now has a new blonde dame to be his hypnotized assistant and is disguising his dummy (I think) but putting a wig on it.
#monsterdon Did Pan American have a lot of flights from England to Germany?
Boeing 707?
Pan Am, finally something good. #Monsterdon
PAN AMERICAN, LOOMS IN THE FOG
huh, the pan-am curse really does have its tendrils everywhere, doesn't it?
She's got a wig on her wig, classic defense against a wig snatch. #monsterdon
Now nurse, go dip this syringe in the tetanus bath, so we can reuse it later. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964
They should have done the marker lines on a map as the plane flew.
#Monsterdon π© π π» π πΉ π±
Pan-Am!
Oh, the shots of the Pan Am plane are sheer joy
#monsterdon What a fun, hedonistic character. Wonder if the movie will bother returning to him.
βPoor Magda. I shall miss her in many ways, but not in any of the ways that matter.β
Thanks to #monsterdon, I have a much higher likelihood of being hungover on a Monday than either Friday or Saturday.
Hilton? C'mon mark, you aremore like an Ibis guy...

#devildoll1964
Gratuitous toe-to-head scan that adds nothing to the movie #Monsterdon
Oh noβ another doll! #Monsterdon
@xerozohar I just sang this out loud. Hysterical.
#monsterdon
"Look at this die-cast model! It has real Estes rocket motor engines!"
Thanks for that pandering, DoP. #Monsterdon
is this some kind of doll transference
This guy sucks at making dummies.
AUGHHHHHHHHHH :blobcat_noir: :blobcat_noir: :blobcat_noir: :blobcat_noir: :blobcat_noir:
I sweat from every pore and look like swamp thing.
She sweats profusely and her everything is still in place.
#Monsterdon
If I was them I think I would get a second opinion before letting this creepy Dr. Nick inject her with a "new American drug" #Monsterdon
that wallpaper, oy gevalt
Hee. He's calling @Louisa #Monsterdon #DevilDoll
#monsterdon I wonder if 1964 audiences would have known what drug they meant when they said "The new drug from America"?
Here, this medical medicine should help
so, this guy wears a suit coat around his own house, just, of an afternoon?
... yeah, checks out.
@amyfou lol well it's close at least
@Binder theres an evil ventriloquist who keeps a dummy in a cage and used the dummy to murder someone and also the ventriloquist put a reporter's girlfriend into a not-coma by telepathically seducing her.
also there was a dude with big eyebrows.
βSheβs still delirious.β Thatβs a whole genre right there. #Monsterdon
and now, the completely silent part of the film
Star of David wallpaper is a CHOICE.
i gotta admit i'm pretty lost and only sticking around to see the dummy get free #monsterdon
I'll bet this is better while wine drunk π·
#Monsterdon #DevilDoll
was there any detail on what they're injecting Marianne with?
We are all in a semi-comatose state...
@bstacey That assumes there is something going on
Hop on Lexis Nexis and search for "Vorelli". And try not to muss her hair this time around. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964
I think you should come up and see Mrs. Horn. Nothing has changed in her condition.
#monsterdon "The new drug from America has calmed her down."
mom and dad have zero idea about all the Verelli drama
