"Find me ... in Berlin ... 1948 ..."

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

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 #DevilDoll1964

um

so

Mind-controlling a woman into making out with you is excessive

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

"find me in Berlin"

well maybe there is more seekrit David Bowie tie-in!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👩 😏 👻 🎎 👹 😱

wut

Find me in Berlin in 1948? With what time machine, buddy?

#monsterdon

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

“Marianne… it’s time… that we began… to laugh and cry… and cry and laugh… about it all over again” #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Why does everyone in this movie kiss like they read about it once but have never done it before?

Did they… did they hire extraterrestrials for the parts?

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#Monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ don't let the hypnotist stay the night, absolutely no survival instinct #monsterdon

boo this man

#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

EW.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@ramsey That's his one actual power, the ability to make everyone miss his bald spot

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

wait, wasn't this like the richest woman in England? why's she not got any bodyguards?

#monsterdon

"are you afraid of me?"
no??? you should be, ma'am.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Laser-guided hypnotic amnesia

#Monsterdon

Well, the sleeze factor just jumped up.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#monsterdon Having successfully planted a bomb in the dummy, our hero withdraws, giggling to himself.

After fondling the dummy's face, Mark puts it back in the cage and restores the curtain around it.

Meanwhile, because Tindr hasn't been invented yet, Voreli has decided to seduce Marianne by telepathically whispering to her while she's sleeping saying "Come to me" and eventually she gets up and starts zombie walking to his room.

#monsterdon

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?

#Monsterdon

So, in case anyone is waiting for this to get better… well, I've got some bad news for you…

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

“My Marianne”

🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

#Monsterdon

And now, Vorelli's hypno fantasies

Bleugh :/

#Monsterdon

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

#monsterdon

Alternate title: Captain Vorelli's Mannequin

#Monsterdon

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?

#Monsterdon

@SnoopJ Seriously, though.

#Monsterdon

look, y'all, if this Marianne Locator Device works out

well

it's really gonna be something okay?

#monsterdon

Would it qualifies as telepathic abuse?
#monsterdon
#devildoll1964

How are his thoughts out of breath

#Monsterdon

@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.

#monsterdon

Vorelli: You up?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

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

@Crazypedia

If you read “baby alive” it’s “evil ay dad”

Coincidence?!

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

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 I’ve ever seen.

#Monsterdon

@LuluHelle Fozzie the Bear? Or is there a character in this movie named Fozzie that I missed?

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@Taweret Right?! #Monsterdon

oookay, this reporter dude is a real pervert too. put the dummy's clothes back on him, and get your fingers out of his mouth. you didn't ask him anything.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Pure truth.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@CactuarJoe https://retro.pizza/@CactuarJoe/116038319840129912

@paco the movie really does understand the rules of effective creepiness with simple production techniques

#Monsterdon

"I've always had a thing for little men" he thought as he undressed the dummy.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

wow the hypnotist sure has been talking to this woman with a completely blank stare while he whispers commands with unbroken eye contact for awhile, it's probably nothing #monsterdon

@LuluHelle uh... wait what? 😂

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

And the Queen Mother gets a walk-on. I have a theory there's a gin-goblin somewhere in every British #monsterdon movie

I will say this, for this otherwise corny movie, that little background wub wub sound when they want to be spooky is pretty effective.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

German is the devil's language.. meine kleine leute.

yes, speaking German will make this character even more likable

#Monsterdon

I'd be mad too if I had to wear a suit 24/7

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

He's hypnotized her in to masking. #Monsterdon

Feel like they should have tried a little harder to give this reporter arc some real stakes. It's just so goofy that this is him thinking "nah, fuck that, nobody's that good at puppetry. I'm gonna get the scoop"

#Monsterdon

Poor Hugo #Monsterdon

@Taweret most other ventriloquists whole act is making it seem effortless that the dummy is talking, but this guy makes it seem like the hardest thing in the world, booked solid for the rest of the year #monsterdon

AHHH you ripped his head off

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Tio be fair this is way healthier than the relationship between Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda on Easy Rider.

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

BITE HIM! BITE HIM!
#Monsterdon

i really thought he was going to get bit #monsterdon

They were so innocent about robotics #Monsterdon

Wow, at least he gives a crappy apology like a real living man. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

I don't understand why the ears are so huge

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

#monsterdon English termites are amazing creatures.

#Monsterdon

Live from Dolly Wood, it's Sunday Night!

#Monsterdon 👩 😏 👻 🎎 👹 😱

do these people beat up their teddy bears too?

@jonny

Hey! Bad Touch!

#Monsterdon
#DevilDoll1964

in an act of unpredecented integrity, i am not counting that as a sneak attack even though it would give me bingo, since the dummy didn't sneak shit and he didn't attack shit, he just raise the knife and failed to execute #monsterdon

Looks like trouble!

#Monsterdon

1960’s AUDIENCE: “Wow! Vorelli and Hugo have a very healthy relationship!”

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

no, bad Tubi, no subtitle translations for YOU

#monsterdon

@jonny a real crowd-pleaser! livens up any party!

#monsterdon

Vorelli promises at least one incredibly dark exchange with his dummy per party. #Monsterdon

These ppl would piss themselves if you knitted in front of them.
Omg how?
WATERY APPLAUSE
#Monsterdon

I must have a look at that dummy.
#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Always with needing to "look at the dummy", can't you just love me!

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

Okay, seriously, how are people clapping at that? They should be freaked out and murmering, not applauding.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

and then he made Hugo sing O Sole Mio while putting on a dog collar

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Dummy groping time

"I've GOT to have a look at that dummy"

#Monsterdon

This scene might have some real tension and weight to it if Hugo didn't look like a primary school art class project. #monsterdon

[applause] YAY ATTEMPTED MURDER YAAAAAAAAAAY

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#monsterdon I just flew in from Coarsegold and my arms are so tired…

All these face closeups... I can see the Brylcreem dripping. #monsterdon

We all know what Vorelli is doin' up there

#Monsterdon

I don't see why anyone would applaud any of this, much less be "sold out."
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Come one! Come All! Come see a weird man act out a strange power fantasy with his puppet!
