Return to your master!

*claps*

I think the doll is more convincing as a ventriloquist than Vorelli

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

I never did care for that eyeliner in the fold of the eyelid trend

#Monsterdon

Is Hugo made of wax or something? Is that why he won’t walk to the footlights?

#Monsterdon

(ominous music)

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👩 😏 👻 🎎 👹 😱

i don't like this show

He faith healed this doll. #Monsterdon

Corny... drinking... corn whisky?

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

LISTEN TO THE AUDIENCE APPLAUD

(threateningly)

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Compelling dialog so far.

#Monsterdon

woof Hugo, let's watch the lips sink #monsterdon

"You...are a dummy...Hugo"

[hesitant, polite applause]

#Monsterdon

Hooray, he can do the simplest tricks possible yaaaaaay #Monsterdon

"Talking Tina" is Hugo's girl friend.

#Monsterdon

The extreme face close-ups are successfully unsettling.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Dude, just give Hugo some wine. You can talk to the audience while he’s drinking. It’ll be a great bit.

#Monsterdon

And by unexpected talents I mean I put in LLM in it trained on the complete script of Twilight Zone and the collective writings of several serial killers.

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

So is this actor an actual ventriloquist or was someone off-camera voicing the doll?

#Monsterdon

Because it'll go right through you as always, and I'm not having puppet piss on my pants again!

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Hey plenty of us dummies drink wine all the time

#Monsterdon

"Dummy" is a slur.-The Delegation of Dolls

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll 🪆🕵🏾‍♀️🎥🍿

fuck ventriloquism, this guy's act should be his Peter Lorre impression

#Monsterdon

BOOZE DOLL

#monsterdon

hugo's voice sounds just like vorelli's

#monsterdon

MORE WINE ...

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Makes me want a fidolla milkshake from Jackrabbit Slims. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Wow. How did she dance the Twist like such an expert? It's a notoriously difficult dance.

#Monsterdon

"Where'd you learn to dance like that?"

"The used car dealership by my home has one of those inflatable figurines with the long arms."

#monsterdon

"Where'd you learn to dance like that?"
Bro, that wasn't anything crazy😂
#Monsterdon

"....he can Break dance!"

#Monsterdon

he keeps Hugo the doll in a cage and won't let him win, does that make him the

Hugo Boss

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964 he would do anything for laughs but he won't do that

Richard Gordon is certainly proud of himself. 🤨

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#Monsterdon Ignoring the movie aspect, this ventriloquist show is pretty bad.

so when does the plot happen?

#Monsterdon

indeed his is, he's just a particularly ugly ventriloquist's dummy.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

vorelli looks wizened af

#monsterdon #devildoll

"unexpected talents"

#monsterdon

Hugo, and I go witcha....

#Monsterdon

And now the Crash Test Dummies. #Monsterdon

is mastodon up to handle simultaneous #superbowllx, #monsterdon, AND west coast na dinnerposting

#Monsterdon

BEHOLD

WOOD

Okay dude NO ONE thinks that's just a normal ventriloquist's dummy

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

now dance, but imagine a bullet is about to crash into your skull

#monsterdon

As Fake Abe stares on with his mouth slightly open, part of lips are stuck together, and they decided to leave it like that.

#Monsterdon

wow holy crap it's like i was a whole other person who could sort of mildly swing my arms back and forth #monsterdon

That seems like a lot of feet footage in that dance routine. Cinematographers secret fetish?

#Monsterdon

A young Quentin Tarantino watching Devil Doll and taking notes ("don't put hypnotist stage show in movie")

#Monsterdon

@Violinknitter

Cautionary tales.

#Monsterdon
#DevilDoll1964

Let's do the plotless twist! #Monsterdon

Where's Annette Funicello? Surfs up!

#Monsterdon

when #monsterdon asks for #DiscoTeens this is NOT what i mean

Just riveting, gripping entertainment here, folks. Hours of fun watching them twist the night away.

#Monsterdon

He got the moves like Jagger.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Better dancer than me, but that just proves they're not 80% sessile like me.

Leave it to the English to make The Twist seem kind of dull and repetitive. #Monsterdon

oh yes, twisting to music onstage. wow his hypnotism must really work...

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#monsterdon Now, make her dance again. I gotta see what "not dancing" is.

*shows someone unspeakable horrors*
Now that we've got that out of the way, a dance break!
#monsterdon

@arrjay ...this made me check, and David Bowie was 17 when this movie came out

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Everybody dance the Cold Reading. #Monsterdon

No, no, no, movie, this is more of a Horror At Party Beach kinda song.

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

#Monsterdon 👩 😏 👻 🎎 👹 😱

ok but I could do that dance also and I am not mesmerized nor can I dance

#Monsterdon

Grooooovy

Does he hypnotize the dummy into thinking it's a real boy? #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

okay one of those 60s movies where we pad it out with musical numbers

#monsterdon

Maybe she isn't mesmerized, maybe she just likes to shake it

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

The twist? But that's the most complicated dance in known history....

#Monsterdon

This is the interpretive dance portion of our film.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

wow bravo amazing incredible she is so good at... whatever that is... #monsterdon

“Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Martin Short as Ed Grimley, dancing!”

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

The dancing rules. All sins forgiven.. so far..

This patter is just an LLM prompt

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Go go, baby!

#Monsterdon

I bet this guy was in the Orson Welles fan club #Monsterdon #DevilDoll

#Monsterdon

"Do you like shellfish?

Are you a break dancer?

Can you spell rutabaga?"

All this and more, tonight at Joe's Theater

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964 i wonder what the devil doll is doing

an expert on modern dancing?

YOU HAVE DAVID BOWIE???

#monsterdon

#monsterdon She's a weeble-wobble, but she don't fall down. She... DAAAANCES

Look into my eyes... *walks away*
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon They sold Morleys in London?

Oh, an all-sadist audience. I guess that's okay, then. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#monsterdon

"I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime

Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time

'Cause at five o'clock they take me to the gallows pole

The sands of time for me are running low...."

Love Miss Horne’s hair, makeup, & dress, BTW #Monsterdon

Nooo don 't look!

#Monsterdon

I can’t figure out whether these folks are supposed to be British or mid-Atlantic.

#Monsterdon

Yeah, she’s shy.

#Monsterdon

The assistant certainly shows a lot of cheek.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#Monsterdon Wow. That professional dancing. Very... normal.

Have fun in #monsterdon gang.

Whew! If she hadn't jumped up there, he was going to have to do a very long version of Eenie Meenie. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@jonny

Dolly Dancing!

#Monsterdon
#DevilDoll1964

"You seem like a very shy girl"

Oh no it's just that I'm so happy to be on stage in front of all these people about to become mortally terrified

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

#monsterdon This nice lady isn't wearing pants, or panties, or... anything… LOL

Why do the women in these movies always start out with the WORST men???

And then end the movie with the worst men??? #Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow oh shit that’s right.

#Monsterdon

you promised me, before we went on this first date, that you'd get on stage and tell the amazing whomever your ptsd triggers

#Monsterdon

I want to dub in the young lady in the seventh row shouting out "FUCK OFF" #monsterdon

Sure, we've seen a tortured artist before but how about one that is a ventriloquist/hypnotist? Does that make him more or less evil? #monsterdon

"I would like another volunteer"

Oh HELL no! :blobastonished: #Monsterdon
