@srol smoking so much you grow new orifices to inhale from #Monsterdon

This has a LOT of talking. #monsterdon

My good doctor in a world of your eyebrows all things are possible

#Monsterdon

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

#monsterdon “Find me in Berlin…” - “Ich Bin Ein Berliner?” - “No, I'm a dummy, not a jelly doughnut…”

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

#monsterdon

When you forget which part of the head the cigarette goes in

#monsterdon

I can imagine all sorts of shit going down in berlin in 1948

"you know how mental these charity balls get, marianne is fucked!"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

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!

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Coffee (or tea, this is Britain) is drunk if not fully served.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Where is this guys sleeping that Hugo can access his bedroom?! Did Hugo walk across town??? Is it just a dream?

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

DO SOMETHING

GOD

#Monsterdon

“Find me. In Berlin. 1948.”

So, the newspaper man needs to build a time machine, now?

This movie is all over the place.

#Monsterdon

@ramsey Vorelli is the real devil

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

AND wiping her memory? via hypno-roofie? jfc

#monsterdon

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

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

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...)

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@gblues if it's by the soul of his murdered gay lover then that explains a lot of the dynamic between the two...

#Monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

ewww, he's being very incel with the mind tricks on Marianne.

Will nobody look out for this girl? fucking Patriarchy!

#monsterdon

Tish, you spoke German! #monsterdon

"and when I call you will come"

well that's one hell of a conversation to return to

#monsterdon

those ARE ferengi ears....is the doll one of those Roswell Ferengi?

#Monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

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

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

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

#Monsterdon

dude has a real kink, that's all i've learned so far.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

This is a pretty avant-garde ventriloquism act, huh #monsterdon

lol, make it walk for food...

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👩 😏 👻 🎎 👹 😱

Hugo wants to eat a soul, doesn't he. He wants to eat a soul.

@Taweret maybe that's a plot point later on

#Monsterdon

Maybe Aunt Eva is worth following around? Can we follow her instead? K thx

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

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 SHE’S the dummy.

#Monsterdon

I'd like to keep focusing on the booze please

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

RED RUM.. RED RUM...

he's the poor man's Vincent Price, which is the best argument for universal basic income

#Monsterdon

"So deep and rich and red..."

Like fine Corinthian leather. #Monsterdon

@goinfawr Always practice safe sax

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

That’s 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.

#monsterdon

Verbally saying "DON'T DRINK IT GIRL"

#Monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon

I do believe that was the softest sax in the history of soft saxes; was it even a sax?

#Monsterdon

"No mere highly trained hypnotist... a hypno-triloquist! I just coined that term, do you like it?"

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

The doll is now the third most creepy dude in this #Monsterdon

Reporter dude is slimy....and are they teenagers? In a car?!

#Monsterdon

back when you could bang in the FRONT seat of the car.

#monsterdon

Okay, okay, stop eating my necklace I'll kiss you

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

Just run marianne, run!

#monsterdon

That is some really terrible kissing

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

TostitosTM presents The Super Vorelli Halftime Show featuring Bad Dummy

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Yank reporter dude pimping out his brit girlfriend for a scoop, or to fuck the doll, I dunno...

#Monsterdon

@bryanhowell possibly? But maybe not? I would imagine someone else had probably done the remote suggestion before. #monsterdon

YES. He's a PHONY. Stage musicians are professional liars! And we LIKE IT because it's FUN. Do you not know how performance works?

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

After the performance, Voreli puts the dummy back in the cage, and Voreli realizes the girl that he was "seducing mentally" as the Blonde Dame described it is the daughter of a rich guy, so he's going to try to perform for the rich relative.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Sure the dummy has powers, Hold Monster, Feather Fall, and Magic Missile just for starters... ;)

#monsterdon Oh sure. The best, most entertaining, hypnotism acts are the ones where they hypnotize someone into thinking they're being executed.

Voreli then does a demo with his dummy, Hugo, where he has Hugo drink wine and then... um... walk up to the stage to thank the audience and then walk back.

Nowadays we would say the dummy is a robot but I think back then they might assume there were hidden wires somewhere?

#monsterdon

Keeping a dummy in a cage like a normal person do.

#Monsterdon

t̶h̶e̶ ̶w̶a̶t̶u̶s̶i̶
the twist
e̶l̶ ̶d̶o̶r̶a̶d̶o̶

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Better not feed that dummy after midnight.

#monsterdon

Have they got a little fella in there? The walking doll is so creepy! kill it!

#Monsterdon

Well, that just escalated. Hugo is more than he seems.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Can we get a remake of this where Hugo is just Rich Fulcher

#Monsterdon

He oughta hypnotize tha dummy.

#monsterdon

Oh nuts someone check the warp core again.

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

#Monsterdon

This guy sounds like a boring version of David from Prometheus

"I will do anything for love, great Vorelli, but I won't do that."

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

Is this movie about a dude who uses dark sorcery to be a stage musician?

#monsterdon

OMG, that thing is 100 times creepier when speaking!

#monsterdon

You know what? I think he's hot. The Great Vorelli is hot.
Bryant Haliday was hot. There. I said it.

And, gosh, I wish I had the patience to figure out how to do that swingin' 1964 eye makeup.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

ugh, smoking in the audience, fucking savages....and the fire hazard as well!

#Monsterdon

Oooh! Is Fake Abe gonna hypnotize the dummy, now?

#Monsterdon

@arrjay Tiananmen was in the 80s. The poor dude probably saw a guy being shot in the Chinese civil war or some kind of Maoist purge. #monsterdon

(edit: or kuomintang purge, since they also executed people)

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964 type of guy who brings his fucking smoking pipe to a live performance

it was literally just the twist

#monsterdon

He's just a mesmerist who makes people think he's a ventriloquist. The ultimate con.
#Monsterdon

Uh oh. I don't like Marianne's chances. She's pretty but not final-girl pretty #monsterdon

Hmmm... she doesn't dance like that for me...
#monsterdon

Mark is in the audience with a girl named Marianne, possibly his girlfriend, possibly his hot sister. He pressures her into volunteering because he's a jerk.

Voreli interviews her on the stage and then hypnotizes her into dancing a thing she doesn't know how to do very well when she's not hypnotized.

#monsterdon

I like her 60s makeup

2026 people know exactly what this dude's game is..

...ooo White People dancing!

#monsterdon

Everyone dances? What a world this was

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

At his next performance, the Great Voreli is hypnotizing a young Ronald Reagan um... I mean... "Mr Harrison" to imagine himself being executed by a soldier like he saw a guy being executed. Poor Mr. Harrison starts crying until the Great Voreli snaps him out of it, then everyone claps.

He then asks for another volunteer, and unsurprisingly no one volunteers.

#monsterdon

Who wants to volunteer to experience the terror only possible when you are going to die in moments?

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

The hypnotism is impressive but my biggest question is where he got the warp core SFX from the USS Enterprise.

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

"Tonight folks, let's relive some war crimes, lol!"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon This is rubbish PTSD hypnotherapy. ;)
