What was in the estimated $60β75,000 total production costs?
Famous horror executive producer Richard Gordon said the cost of the film was Β£20,000 plus $20,000 for expenses and salaries of American personnel. This included Gordon and Bryant Halliday
#monsterdon what kind of freaks are going to see this act?
Hans just happened to always be WAITING IN THE CLOSET THERE
Vorelli removes his fake beard to reveal... he is Avon from Blake's 7
No joking, this guy comes off a lot more sinister and threatening without the beard. I think it was just covering up his emoting. #monsterdon
It could look like you, yes
Okay, I can think of *several million* better things to do with soul transposition than becoming a vaudeville act, wtf
.....it looks just like Hugo
[racist drumming]
"Yes, it could resemble me. If I looked nothing like myself. Like even remotely. I mean jesus christ doc, did you describe me with grunts and gestures?"
"...studied with the llamas"
"Okay clearly you've never cut a throat before, ma'am."
Oh, vee get to Germany und now ve have the German accent?
#monsterdon
Mark has flew to Berlin or somewhere to talk to the guy he told to research so he can get an exposition dump in a bus.
Wait, there was a 1945 horror anthology called Dead of Night with a segment about a ventriloquistβs dummy named Hugo?
The stock footage of an airplane flying is the most dynamic shot we have seen in this film.
Okay yeah "Grace" has entered the chat. I'm POSITIVE Gene Roddenberry wrote this week's movie now.
Marianne's sweat may be the breakout star of this movie
Gigantic 60s needle...
#monsterdon If a dummy murders you, is that murder most-dowel?
What class a drug did they just give her?

It's like Fawlty Towers
#monsterdon
Tonight's movie brought to you by Vallium
Mark then reads the paper article about the Voreli murder, where Voreli has an alibi and was gone when the dummy did a murder, so it was like a ventrilomurder.
We have moved from staring to reading the newspaper.
In the next morning the headlines say "Voreli Murder" so I guess Voreli's presumed plan to use a dummy to do his murder to keep his crimes secret may have have backfired.
#Monsterdon Ah yes, the "reading from the paper to explain everything" move
The lady's name is "Berlin Wall"
While the Blonde Dame Assistant takes a towel-clad nap in the goth bedroom, Voreli tells the Dummy that "she thinks ur ugly bro" and fondles a knife in front of him.
Then the dummy gets out of his cage and then stabs her with a knife.
They call him "Mr English" but he ain't...
Is Hugo also the cinematographer
@apLundell With typing sounds in the background. WHO could be typing in that tiny place? #monsterdon
Bingo!
Typical 50's and 60's film. Women either need to be slapped, hypnotized, or roughly kissed.
tasteful side boob :o
#monsterdon Doctor, your eyebrows are tangled up in your beard!!!
Yeah but if you COULD force people to dance using your mental powersβ¦
You WOULD make people dance all the time, right?
@GeoffWozniak AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
We now have a love triangle, or more accurately a love chevron, where the blonde person likes Voreli and is mad that he is telepathically seducing Marianne. She threatens to call the cops on him so he tells her she's beautiful and I guess uses hypnotism to um... re-enslave her I guess, and then they kiss while the caged dummy watches.
#Monsterdon NEWS FLASH: THE MOVIE IS ONLY HALF OVER
that moirΓ© pattern is going to mesmerize me more than the actual hypnotist #monsterdon
@ohiofi oh hai Mark
#monsterdon Mark make him stop, make him stop, make him stop having that facial hair
He did have her, but by modern standards it's a sex crime, so...
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a beard is a good guy with a beard.
#monsterdon
#monsterdon Doctors Eyebrows HAVE THEIR OWN ZIP CODE
@srol smoking so much you grow new orifices to inhale from #Monsterdon
My good doctor in a world of your eyebrows all things are possible
This conversation is interrupted by a phone call from Marianne's house, where some Eyebrows who are also a Doctor report that Marianne is sick, and we learn she is stuck in a semi-coma, saying "Make him Stop Mark" and "He's calling me Mark" in between subdued moaning and gasping.
Then Doctor Eyebrows advises that she needs a nap now.
#monsterdon βFind me in Berlinβ¦β - βIch Bin Ein Berliner?β - βNo, I'm a dummy, not a jelly doughnutβ¦β
I tried to capture the level of energy in this film in this 14-second clip.
#monsterdon
this is very vampire-like but without the real estate
The facial hair is getting more fake by the minute
doctor's eyebrows are stealing the scene. That and his "...nyello?" #monsterdon
While telepathic sex crimes are afoot, the dummy decides to send Mark its own telepathic suggestion saying "Find Me. In Berlin 1948." The next day this causes Mark to start smoking, realizing that the Dummy was talking to him, which he explains to the office lady we saw at the beginning.
I hope I don't end up with Jon Coulton's "Creepy Doll" stuck in my head as a result of this movie. #monsterdon
And coffee! We have a winner!
Coffee (or tea, this is Britain) is drunk if not fully served.
Where is this guys sleeping that Hugo can access his bedroom?! Did Hugo walk across town??? Is it just a dream?
βFind me. In Berlin. 1948.β
So, the newspaper man needs to build a time machine, now?
This movie is all over the place.
@ramsey Vorelli is the real devil
AND wiping her memory? via hypno-roofie? jfc
Once, just once, I want the hypnosis victim in one of these movies to interrupt the "YOU ARE UNDER MY POWER" speech with a right hook. #Monsterdon
@moira Don't torture yourself, darling. That's Mengele's job #monsterdon
Her cleavage is the elephant in the room here
#monsterdon
(and a couple points to Marianne's bra in this scene. what a thirsty movie we've chosen this evening...)
@gblues if it's by the soul of his murdered gay lover then that explains a lot of the dynamic between the two...
Because he's a snoop, Mark goes into Voreli's empty room after the performance to inspect the Dummy, finding it locked in a cage, which is very normal. Not actually yet aware of the demon witchcraft, Mark opens up and starts fondling the dummy's face, then opens up the cage. Uh oh.
ewww, he's being very incel with the mind tricks on Marianne.
Will nobody look out for this girl? fucking Patriarchy!
Tish, you spoke German! #monsterdon
those ARE ferengi ears....is the doll one of those Roswell Ferengi?
Holy shit 19-0 in the 4th and explosions are going off in Seattle
#monsterdon
ah yes, let the dummy out, sir. SOMETHING needs to happen in this movie.
dude has a real kink, that's all i've learned so far.
This is a pretty avant-garde ventriloquism act, huh #monsterdon

lol, make it walk for food...

Hugo wants to eat a soul, doesn't he. He wants to eat a soul.
@Taweret maybe that's a plot point later on
Maybe Aunt Eva is worth following around? Can we follow her instead? K thx
I don't know how to ask this so:
When does #monsterdon happen? How do people watch together synced up? Seems like a blast
#monsterdon Liesure Suit Vorelli.
Red flags all over the place and Marianne just sipping blood of the virgin cocktails.
Makes me think maybe SHEβS the dummy.
I'd like to keep focusing on the booze please
RED RUM.. RED RUM...
he's the poor man's Vincent Price, which is the best argument for universal basic income
"So deep and rich and red..."
Like fine Corinthian leather. #Monsterdon
@goinfawr Always practice safe sax
Thatβs a heck of a dressing room. Look at all that art. #Monsterdon
Mark goes to talk to his boss to have a debate. Mark thinks Voreli is using demon witchcraft to move his dummy while his boss thinks the dummy is simply a robot.
Just what every girl wants, to be pawed by the guy from 2001 #Monsterdon
After Voreli telepathically whispers at Marianne while she's riding in a car with Mark, they decide to make out so this movie can have the very specific 1960s Makeout Music play in the background.
I do believe that was the softest sax in the history of soft saxes; was it even a sax?
"No mere highly trained hypnotist... a hypno-triloquist! I just coined that term, do you like it?"
The doll is now the third most creepy dude in this #Monsterdon
Reporter dude is slimy....and are they teenagers? In a car?!
back when you could bang in the FRONT seat of the car.
