@jivens Joke's on him, I'm already forgetting the contents of this movie

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@moira and then you put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up

#Monsterdon

you are getting sleeeepy, join the audience #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Oh goody, a new character!

Plastic-packed dummy in 1948

#Monsterdon

It'd be a nice touch if that box had air holes

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964 poor hugo. forced both to be nice to audiences *and* to commit murders

#Monsterdon Every shot in this movie is a tight shot. The opposite property of the script.

OK camera man we get the idea, "Attractive girl"

#Monsterdon

FACE HER WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO HER MARK

#Monsterdon

limey broads

#monsterdon

lol, Hugo could get out at any time...

#Monsterdon

Dun dun DDUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

I'm starting to think The Great Vorelli gave himself the "Great" part of that name.

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

"Ugh I gotta watch them do human stuff with their gross squishy parts god I wish I had wooden eyelids."

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

"I"m so very glad you were able to come so quickly"

"Yes, it has always been a problem for me"

#monsterdon

Are... Americans the only ones who say "open mind"...?

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

Real Terran Empire Steven Seagal look on that guy

#Monsterdon

Mark, Mark, I'm trapped under this other guy's eyebrows. Help me Mark.

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

Dummy sonar

#Monsterdon

This movie should have been framed as a trash TV talk show with the episode headline "My wife was mind controlled into having sex with a ventriloquist who keeps a demon dummy in a cage."

#monsterdon

"Oh, auntie, it's your fourth drink."

"No dear, it's my fifth!"

Ah yes, that makes it better.

#monsterdon

Those Beehive hairdos were like the 'Rachel From Friends cut' for the 60s

#Monsterdon

Okay apparently the drinking game for tonight's Monsterdon should have been "take a shot when you hear charity ball"

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

Check this guy's hard drive

#Monsterdon

Oh heck, that actor playing the reporter played Heywood Floyd in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964 i am fascinated by the eyeliner of this era but i can't pull it off ;)

Holy crap this is where Lucas got the scene in Empire Strikes Back where Luke uses the Force to call Leia.

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

I'll put on my formal beard

#Monsterdon

It's an old ventriloquist's trick

Getting people to come to the show

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964 this is the elaine dance

lol, fucking evil thing to do to the suggestable, and everyone just watches....such are we British...

#Monsterdon

That is a pretty effective visual effect for 1964 mesmerism

#Monsterdon

"He said he couldn't stand to meet a journalist in the evening."

The horror!

#Monsterdon

the fact that this is in black and white in 1964 already does not bode well

#Monsterdon

@combatwombat does a little bit of the soul go with every lost splinter? every flake of paint?

3,000 years in you figure out oh wait, this _is_ the bad place

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Taking a break from the C.H.U.D franchise to catch Devil Doll before C.H.U.D. II.

I hear great things on this platform about the Great Vorelli.

#monsterdon
#DevilDoll1964

@sean agreed, and thank you for reminding me #Monsterdon

@CardboardRobot 1960s data transfer rates #Monsterdon

but... wait... why did it switch?

Was this something like that vampire thing where he drank his blood?

Was it because of aliens who were making the dummies come to life?

What if Vorepuppet starts singing the Mothra song?

#monsterdon

If you stab someone it takes about 3 months to transfer their soul into a doll.

The end.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

This concludes another #monsterdon thread. Remember kids, if you ever learn dark sorcery for a llama, remember to use it for something more interesting than a ventriloquism act.

#monsterdon

@amyfou [insert table saw joke] #monsterdon

I rate Devil Doll 1 out of 5 glasses of virgin blood because it was boring as fuck. Not even an epic chair melee could save it.

The best character was the eyebrows on the doctor. The worst character was the reporter guy, for also being boring.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

Dun dun DUUUUUUN!

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Directed by M Night Shyamalan?! WHAT A TWIST ENDING!

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

AWWWW YEAH SCANNERS ENDING!

#monsterdon

Okay but that's a really creepy doll.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@paco

Fortified wine of some sort? Port, brandy, sherry

#Monsterdon

What is this man drinking in a British pub? It's too big to be vodka and to small to be ale.
#monsterdon

Monsterdon: Bringer Of Federation Delays, Creator Of ActivityPub Backlogs

#Monsterdon

"The doctor took me off the drugs"

Begins necking her, again like a horny teenager

#Monsterdon

Screenplay written by a part-time writer, full-time pickup artist

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

This #monsterdon exudes strong "the script writer was paid by the word" energy.

@paco

"Ain't no rule says you can't put a man's soul into a dummy."

#Monsterdon

Please just summon a She-Creature already

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

Okay, but why does Vorelli do this thing with moving souls into the doll?

Using hypnotism for abuse while gross makes sense for him. But the doll why?

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@apLundell #monsterdon

Was she supposed to be a prostitute? How could they make that fact so boring?

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964 "but then hugo changed" like literally or figuratively?

The one unexpected thing was that Voreli killed the original Hugo on stage as part of an act. He somehow avoided getting arrested.

#monsterdon

Lemme see if I understand this right. The Great Vorelli murdered a man live on stage, in front of a packed house. And then he just wandered over to London and kept performing.
#monsterdon

"Whoopsie"

#Monsterdon

@trixter Oops, I *am* high and I was just thinking, yeah, I kinda see it 😆

#Monsterdon

A horror anime would fit this entire story into a 20-minute episode.

#monsterdon

So if Hugo's soul is in the dummy, then who is walking around in Hugo's body?

#Monsterdon

I don't like how this backstory feels like it would be better set in 1907 than 1947.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Funny that there's Hilton product placement, and I keep getting ads for Hilton #monsterdon

"How is she?"

"shrug, iunno"

#monsterdon

How creepy can we make Grace’s introduction?

Very.

#Monsterdon

Oh no, is putting his dead girlfriend's soul in a doll?

#monsterdon

Late for #Monsterdon. No idea what is going on.

@paco #monsterdon

ikr I wish he'd flipped to the comics and started reading them.

#monsterdon So the American is Mr. English and all the English are sleepy.

Since we're now 50 minutes into this movie, Mark is finally doing research by calling a guy in Berlin and telling him to research Voreli, who I guess used to work in Berlin.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Even with an alibi, having your wooden dummy commit a murder in your dressing room is not actually that brilliant of a plan.

#monsterdon All we really need now is the Zuni Fetish Doll from Trilogy of Terror to just bust open and make high pitched yeah-yeah sounds as he chases the dummy around the room.

"The typewriter is what I call my wife's vagina, Mark!"

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

what is the point of putting the doll on a cage if you are not keeping it locked.
#monsterdon
#devildoll1964

That is one fucked up doll

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I can't believe it. Something happened.

#monsterdon The directors thinly veiled fetish, of course.

It's never said but Mark English's middle name is "My"

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

Coffee is requested

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Hugo likes to watch.

#Monsterdon

That bra could blind children....

#Monsterdon

I also want to make him stop (torturing us with this movie)

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Seriously those eyebrows, I can't take my eyes off them, they're magnificent

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

"A very strange case"

An enTRANCING case, you might say

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

Centauri level eyebrows from the dude there...

#Monsterdon

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I just realized the American newspaper man’s last name is “English.” He’s the only one without the very, very Received Pronunciation British accent.

#Monsterdon

Find me! In Berlin, 1948! Get a time machine, because this is that kind of movie! #monsterdon

Berlin, 194…8

Cuttin it real close there on some nazi doll hijinks, pal.

#Monsterdon

"Penetrated your mind"

Men are filth

#Monsterdon

So who is the villain of this movie, the ventriloquist or the dummy? They both seem pretty awful, especially to each other. #monsterdon

I mean, it can't REALLY be a Dracula story without a real estate deal. But the charity gala is definitely getting close to real estate territory.

#Monsterdon

@hollie all the better to hear you with, my dear

#Monsterdon

@steggy "You are getting sleepy... you will pull my finger..."
#monsterdon

Vorelli is speaking German now. Okay.

#Monsterdon
