So he's a telepathic, mesmerist ventriloquist.
She's talking about the doctor in the room, Mark!
semicoma? is this a real medical term?
#monsterdon
#devildoll1964
Since youโre investigating mesmerism and allโฆ #Monsterdon
"state of semicoma with overtones of delirium" is it me or does this sound like a makeup palette? or maybe a color description for paint samples?
#Monsterdon ๐ฉ ๐ ๐ป ๐ ๐น ๐ฑ
WHO DO YOU THINK, Mark?
"a state of semicoma, with overtures of delirium"
Your girlfriend's in distress, but taking time out from work is an imposition? #Monsterdon
@wohali or something.
Marianne, reduced to a Head in The Bed...
"I'm very glad you were able to come so quickly" OKAY movie. Give it a rest! #Monsterdon #DevilDoll
Nice eyebrows doc Kieslig
#monsterdon
#devildoll1964
Also that guy could put Dr Wily to shame
WOULD YOU JUST SAY WHAT"S WRONG!?
Nothing serious, just a minor case of mesmerism and posession with walking doll syndrome..
Marianne has been attacked by this other guy's eyebrows, I fear
"Yeah, it's always been a bit of a problem for me."
Looks like someone spilled a drink on her.
Dr. Thufir Hawat speaking...
Eyebrow merkins
Even mightier eyebrows! #Monsterdon
the doctor says she's been stricken with dummy-itis
What the fuck is up with those eyebrows? Do.they get top billing?
His name is MISTER ENGLISH???
the doctor and his eyebrows, Keisler.
the dummy visited him at night? sounds like a penthouse letter
For any Tomorrow People fans on the watch tonight Francis De Wolff there on the left was the villain Jedekiah in that show. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll
#Monsterdon ๐ฉ ๐ ๐ป ๐ ๐น ๐ฑ
oh no EYEBROWS
#Monsterdon I'm guessing the doctor's ability are either proportional or inversely proportional to the size of his eyebrows.
you CANNOT start a conversation like "that dummy talked to me" #monsterdon
I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.
Had this been me, I would have torn Hugo to shreds well before he managed to get the word "Berlin" out. #Monsterdon
This is much different than Magic (1978) and pretty darn creepy! #Monsterdon
@steggy Jelly donut, wooden dummy, ehh...all the same, right?
ah, Mr English is this guy's name!
zero effort has been put in to these names and it shows!
Hate watching this grimy movie I've seen a hundred times before is honestly much more enjoyable than the feetball.
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon Is it alright if Hugo watches? I want to very obviously deny him any pleasure of the flesh. Because he's a DUMMY.
"A dummy came to my room. But it was just me in the mirror"
Wait, he is just visited by a dummy doll?
#monsterdon
#devildoll1964
So hypnotism is actually psionic domination, not something that people can actually do in entertainment acts. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964
Hugo! This is my private time!

Sidney J. Furie was expected to direct, but jumped at a better movie when it came along. (dodged a bullet)
He recommended Lindsay Shonteff, fellow Canadian, who's directing debut this is.
#monsterdon Vorelli is a handsome man who drank from the wrong grailโฆ
Ich bin ein Berliner
So dude has a conversation with the possessed dummy. Then we just cut to cigarette smoking man? What kind of cut was that/
#monsterdon
The beautiful dancer's boyfriend won a Kirk Douglas' chin look-alike contest and was offered the role..
#Monsterdon So... there are three sets? With only closeups.
lmao he just let him leave? #monsterdon
"Find me in Berlin, 1948" well now I'm not rooting for you either, Hugo
"Find me ... in Berlin ... 1948 ..."
No way they just did a fade to black on this guy witnessing proof of the supernatural. NO WAY. Dammit movie #monsterdon
find him in berlin in 1948? some time travel would probably improve this movie, insomuch as that's possible...
#Monsterdon ๐ฉ ๐ ๐ป ๐ ๐น ๐ฑ
wut
Find me in Berlin in 1948? With what time machine, buddy?
Just... Going to hold a long shot of.... The puppet... And slowly pan...
#Monsterdon #DevilDoll
Your repugnancy levels are higher than your hypnosis levels?
#Monsterdon
โMarianneโฆ itโs timeโฆ that we beganโฆ to laugh and cryโฆ and cry and laughโฆ about it all over againโ #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964
Why does everyone in this movie kiss like they read about it once but have never done it before?
Did theyโฆ did they hire extraterrestrials for the parts?
Having some real Deja Vu
#monsterdon "Then why do you resist me?"
"I think it's the weird beard. Have you tried shaving it?"
This movie has neither enough devil nor doll.
@SnoopJ don't let the hypnotist stay the night, absolutely no survival instinct #monsterdon
Idk, maybe it's because you're a fucking creep???
#monsterdon
He obviously has a high opinion of his kissing. He thinks he need to tell her to forget it.
#monsterdon
wait, wasn't this like the richest woman in England? why's she not got any bodyguards?
"are you afraid of me?"
no??? you should be, ma'am.
Laser-guided hypnotic amnesia
#monsterdon Having successfully planted a bomb in the dummy, our hero withdraws, giggling to himself.
Well, the sleeze factor just jumped up.
Would it be a 60s movie without casual sexual assault? #monsterdon
He's giving her a mind-roofie
#monsterdon
Wait. In the mirror, he looked bald. What?
So, in case anyone is waiting for this to get betterโฆ well, I've got some bad news for youโฆ
โMy Marianneโ

As was once said about Manos: The Hands of Fate -- we are finally at the scene that is the only reason the theatrical print of this film survived to 2026
Alternate title: Captain Vorelli's Mannequin
It's escapin' time! #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964
what why are they in the same house where are they #monsterdon
They're nailing the creepy background music in this movie!
#Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Eep. Creep time.
Does anyone else think she looks a lot like Amy Winehouse?
look, y'all, if this Marianne Locator Device works out
well
it's really gonna be something okay?
Would it qualifies as telepathic abuse?
#monsterdon
#devildoll1964
How are his thoughts out of breath
@Taweret Yeah, a ventriloquism act is a sort of contract with the audience. You're promising that it's all coming from the on-stage performer.
You break that contract and you might as well have someone off-stage dubbing over the voice.
Vorelli: You up?
Cue the heaving bosom
Classic polka dot Star of David wallpaper. #monsterdon
"Mary Anne. Come." Wait. No. Not like that. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll
the doll so far doesn't seem like a devil doll at all, he's just sort of a slave and nothing about the hypnotist's behavior is making me think it wouldn't be sick as hell for the doll to escape and be free #monsterdon
"When I call you will come"
Mr. Vorelli you're gonna have to do a heck of a lot more than that to make her come #Monsterdon
This guy is really obsessed with this dummy, to the point of neglecting his smoking hot wife, who is being seducenotized by a dude with the worst beard Iโve ever seen.
@LuluHelle Fozzie the Bear? Or is there a character in this movie named Fozzie that I missed?
@Taweret Right?! #Monsterdon
