"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 Horneβs hair, makeup, & dress, BTW #Monsterdon
Nooo don 't look!
I canβt figure out whether these folks are supposed to be British or mid-Atlantic.
Yeah, sheβs shy.
The assistant certainly shows a lot of cheek.
#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
#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 thatβs right.
you promised me, before we went on this first date, that you'd get on stage and tell the amazing whomever your ptsd triggers
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
Hey, she's not an audience plant!
![[empty]](/media/avatars/287224a269fbaefbc7e94920b207f9dca8b6e0415d818373c9f1528359b6a0e8.jpg){kind=small}
Yeah the young lady in the 7th row looks hot
#monsterdon
Booo not polite clap you weirdos.
#Monsterdon
Isnβt fake Abraham Lincoln a ventriloquist? Why is he hypnotizing people? Whereβs the dummy?
Also, that's strangely on-beat clapping out of the audience!
Performative cruelty everyone!
Have I mentioned the pain of the bullet smashing into your head?
Who would volunteer after that?! #Monsterdon
The cinematographer is quite fond of closeups.
Anyone? Bueller?
People volunteered for weird things in the 60's
can't imagine why he'd be whimpering and cringing through that humiliating ordeal, must be magic
#monsterdon So what, the dummy shoots him later?
Nice, go to enjoy a nice night out and get tortured.
@LuluHelle They didn't have cable yet.
"all just a dream"
#monsterdon βDo you smell somethingβ¦?β
Although this movie was probably shot at 24fps, it has lots of scenes where literally nothing moves. If you factored that in, I wonder how many frames per second it is really.
#monsterdon
okay so what part of that was interesting to the audience?
Moments? Whew, then I can avoid that meeting in the morning.
Hypnotists are always pricks in these flicks. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll
Hey, I think Iron Maiden has a song kinda like this, right?
Now, that you're on your knees , take this brush and Mr. Clean .... #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964
This frankly is not the kind of magic show Iβd be interested in watching, puppet or no puppet #Monsterdon
@Taweret Thatβs really the scariest part of this movie.
Jeeeez dude!
This passes for entertainment? Ppl paid to see this bearded creep?
#Monsterdon
#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964 this is some very intense hypno roleplay
#monsterdon What a light-hearted performance! Executions make for such sparkling entertainment!
Dang. So much for making someone cluck like a chicken...
VORELLI: DONβT TALK BACK by D.A. Pennebaker
#Monsterdon Let's applaud terrorizing someone!
Mr. Harrison, you are surrounded by a servers all alike, they are about to crash, you haven't slept in 3 days...
OK, this seems like a crime against humanity. The scene AND the movie. #monsterdon
Nice sound design for this mesmerism.
βMr. Harrison, look into my eyes and see me as a film negative.β
Well, that escalated quickly. #Monsterdon
π³
oh no! not the reversed film!
@Taweret So weird... makes me want a moon pie even though I know it'll be gross. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll πͺπ΅πΎββοΈπ₯πΏ
NEGATIVO-A-VISION
this is what passed for first date material in 1960, that's the real devil doll
Everyone at this show looks so bored
SLEEEEEEEEEEP
2 cigarettes in 5 minutes?
#Monsterdon π© π π» π πΉ π±
for some reason they're using Pinter pauses in this movie
She would, but she's got this three hour tour she's going on. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll
Alright, dummy. Go night night. Cover on. No, no chirping. Go to sleep. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964
Isnβt that the dude from 2001?
I don't think I can suspend my disbelief enough to accept the reporter assigned to interview a ventriloquist has his own secretary. #monsterdon
oh yeah, half a phone conversation, always good
Ride, captain, ride.. on your mystery cab..
This (American?) newspaper guyβs assistant keeps going in and out of her British accent.
Okay no one look into his eyes
Very leisurely opening, this film knows you have plans later and it doesn't care. #Monsterdon
"I'm going to suggest to this man that his life is in danger, that he could die at any moment"
ah, so he's gonna give him anxiety disorder then #monsterdon
Ah, a rotary dial phone. How quaint.
What was he staring at? The corner?
Heywood Floyd before that whole Discovery/Hal debacle. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll
Wasn't he in Gorgo too?
NO, but Ginger's here, you can speak to her
2001 an Odd Dummy See
#monsterdon what is this doofus bowing for, they were applauding Holst and the Royal Symphonic Phil-Harmony of East London
#monsterdon Get someone with no mind to be afraid of violating.
have they considered leaving the obviously cursed entity in the cage #monsterdon
What is looking at?
the thea-tuh #monsterdon
@moira Alas, where's a Nintendo DS when you need one? #Monsterdon
He's great all all, but *Verelli*!? I doubt it.
Just made it! I was frantically transferring the "taste of summer" to the freezer from the ice cream machine.
(Lemon ice cream with raspberries, shout out to @AnaWTheBlueHairAndPronouns for promoting the raspberry agenda)

A big Mesmerizing Welcome to new Monsterdon participants and lurkers! Special welcome to those new on the Fediverse!
Guys can we slow down that dip to white? No slower. SLOWER.
I always leer at my doll and say "You'll always lose!" It is totally normal. And then leer at my wife and say "And you sympathize!"
Shoulda put Gabbo in a Pokeball.
Having ghost pepper cheese for a Lil' excitement tonight, 'cause this movie ain't.
#monsterdon Keeps a dummy in a crate, and suddenly a bunch of gay pups all make little whining sounds :)
