niiiice basket! I'd be doing three-pointers with crumpled stationary from across the room. #priorities

After the performance, Voreli is hanging out backstage with a Blonde Dame who is literally smoking. He tells him dummy that "you never win, you always lose" and then puts him in a cage and then tells the Blonde Dame "and you sympathize..." to tell the audience that something ominous is happening. possibly involving an evil doll or something.

#monsterdon

So, which one's the doll? #Monsterdon #DevilDoll 🪆🕵🏾‍♀️🎥🍿

loving how he talks to the thing like it's his enemy, as every Ventriloquist does...

#monsterdon

Appropriately for a movie titled "Devil Doll" this movie starts with a weird guy in the back of a car riding somewhere with a creepy looking doll next to him. We learn he is "The Great Vorelli" who is going to a performance as a ventriloquist. We see the end of the performance and everyone is clapping, so he must have been good at the ventriloquey thing.

#monsterdon

At 2:55 we finally have some dialogue.

#monsterdon

It's the 20th century so everyone start SMOKING!

#Monsterdon

You know the doll is evil because it doesn't bother wearing a seatbelt.

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

The great vorelli (and ~~zoidberg~~ hugo)

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Y'know technically it just says "[Chase music]" on the bingo card, it doesn't say there has to be an actual chase....

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Fucking evil homunculus of spite...

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Already the Doll as co-passenger is cracking me up.

We start our chilling tale as all chilling tales must start, with a long, boring Uber ride...

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

One of the fake beards of history

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

This is very dramatic music for a taxi ride.

I want this dude's look but not that .....thing on the back seat with him!

THE END.

I guess.

Ugh.

X-wing Mothra has returned. Going warp speed back to the past by slingshotting around the sun ???
#Monsterdon #SuperbMothra

Cut to Mothra flying around the Earth really fast backwards like Superman.
#Monsterdon #SuperbMothra

@ohiofi Jesus is a metaphor for Mothra. When he's on the cross that's like Mothra spreading her wings.
#Monsterdon #SuperbMothra

Hypnosis Interruptus.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll

Obligatory naughty tentacles.

Evil Sister had outlived her usefulness?

It's 90s CG Rapture Day.
#Monsterdon #SuperbMothra

Just absolutely rotten to the core.
You're a mean one Mr Ghidorah.
#Monsterdon #SuperbMothra

Sorry I missed Haunted Doll Watch: The Movie #Monsterdon

This might be the most evil looking version of King Ghidorah. To balance out the fluffiest looking Mothra.
#Monsterdon #SuperbMothra

Answer: not that I saw, although I did spot a pipe in the show audience #monsterdon

@heathen_cat likely just weird compression artifacts in my copy

@paco @jonny

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@moira
They burned a lot of film on people standing still and staring.
#monsterdon
@jonny

This movie was released just 4 years before 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Shows the difference that 4 years, a good director and several truckloads of money can make.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll

ok i'm watching back and the last 5 minutes are just a trainwreck. they spent most of the movie on the marianne subplot and they literally wrapped it up with three scenes:

#monsterdon

@Anima not to mention

endless wood

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

She's got early onset syphillis, because the hypnotist doesn't wear condoms. Ever.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll

aaaaanyway, great job as always, team, another movie successfully launched into space

and thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting ^_^

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@kcarr2015

Good lord, look at her.

#Monsterdon

@unixjunk1e On behalf of #Monsterdon I flatly deny saying any of these great things 😂

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

They have a TriForce now?
#Monsterdon #SuperbMothra

#monsterdon That was fine. I don't really care who is in who's body really...

Big thanks to @Taweret for this truly superb owl ... ah film.

Smoking, coffee, and a pretty meaningless murder keeping us watching through the middle. A lot of closeups (far too many closeups). Sawdust was spilled. Justice was served, kinda. Two ugly dummies, creep of a hypnotist, an amazing set of eyebrows that was taken away too soon, and the usual abrupt ending.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@CardboardRobot Cat6 cables hadn't been invented yet. Not even single-shield coax. They had to do it wirelessly. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@Newpa_Hasai @SnoopJ I'm sure there are a bunch of ways to go about it, but I think the angle of a power-hungry illusionist capturing people's souls in dolls to bind them to do his bidding has some potential

It'd be like transferring the soul of this movie into another one

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

See: never mess with the puppet people.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Chairs work on lions, idiot! Not dummies!

So his big plan is to make a wife for Hugo while getting rich from inheriting her fortune? He's got a thing for "ugly little dolls". There's a lot to unpack. Maybe the luggage will get lost.

#Monsterdon

@Terencio I think it was the TARDIS vwarp vwarps

the doctor did it

as a gag

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#monsterdon There's ugly, then there is knocking a buzzard off a shit-wagon, bucko... you're on that level.

@Terencio needs more birds #monsterdon

@Lazarou ../ #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

I'm almost certain at some point I watched the MST3k version of this, but I don't remember it at all. I think i may put it on for a bit right now, after I get a bite to eat.

#monsterdon

I survived tonight’s #Monsterdon movie and the correct team won the Super Bowl, so I suppose this Sunday is a moderate success!

Lets get ready to Wrong Frooooogs!
#Monsterdon #SuperbMothra

Well, ummm, thanks? That was fun chatting about the bad movie, at least.

See y'all next time

#monsterdon

Welp, that could've been an email.

#Monsterdon

Wow, that was a movie.

Another #monsterdon in the can.

Creepy facial hair
Creepy ventriloquist
Creepy dummy
Creepy meaningless blood wine

And other things too, I think.

Anyway, thanks for all the toots, and thanks to @Taweret for hosting.

Till the next time.

Yes! That was more satisfying than I feared. Exceeded #Monsterdon expectations.

Whew! That’s over and Hugo came out on top, which makes me happy.

Thanks, as always, to @Taweret for hosting #Monsterdon, @cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo (I didn’t get a bingo 😞), @JoeWynne for #MonsterdonDrink, @ryan for #MonsterdonStream, and to all of you for making it awesome!

HOLY SOUL SWAP :blobastonished:

THE END

Appropriately abrupt #Monsterdon ending FANTASTIC

Don't knock heads with your possessed doll lest you induce a Freaky Friday incident y'all!

Thanks for this delightfully wooden selection @Taweret !

Ok, ok! #Monsterdon #KungFuSat #MondayActionMovie folks chime in.

Devil Doll vs Chucky

Well that was awful. And Bad Bunny won the Super Bowl while we were watching #Monsterdon

So that could've been a half hour Twilight Zone episode.

Anyway, thanks for making this boring-ass movie fun tonight fam! You folks have managed to make some pretty terrible movies a great experience, and the Owlbear loves you.

Take care of each other. Be kind, spread love, play indie games.

Goodnight!

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@bunnyhero Yeah, edit it down to be a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode and it improves a lot.

#monsterdon

Wow! What a snoozer. Still though, gotta hand it to Scanners for stealing that ending. Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting. Have a great week Beautiful Mutants. Sorry Patriots fans maybe next year. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll

this would have made for a fun episode of an anthology tv series, rather than a full-on feature

#monsterdon

okay, well i gotta go take a shower, coz that movie was gross, but at least it's over, huh.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

I love that, in the MST3K version of this, Tom is put into the most adorable toaster pastry puppet. #monsterdon

This is how you do a Devil Doll, by the way ...

Alright people, the dummy's back in the cage and we're all free. One last thing:

Was DEVIL DOLL (1964) the WORST #MONSTERDON MOVIE of the year?

And justice has been served. Thank you for another fine evening of vintage horror #Monsterdon.

Thank you, @Taweret for hosting!

And he fucked off into a cage. Thanks @Taweret for hosting :) #monsterdon

and so he was the dummy all along

ty for joining, everyone!!

#monsterdon

Terror and justice all in one flick

Thanks @Taweret for hosting, and to all the #monsterdon gang!

okay I'm starting to think this guy just has a doll fetish #monsterdon

And they fucked off into the abruptness, the end!

#Monsterdon

You hate to see dummy on dummy violence. #Monsterdon

"OK fine i guess" #monsterdon

Sudden onset freeze-frame end! #monsterdon

Denoument, what's that?

#monsterdon

Surprise power, right. They somehow got an unsatisfying ending out of a perfectly reasonable fight

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

and that's it then?

wow, this is a pretty strong contender for worst ever.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Fuck yeah! Hugo switched places with Vorelli and freed Marianne!

#Monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #DevilDoll, from 1964, is an artifact of the inexplicable fascination with evil puppets that seems to have permeated the 1960s. We also had,

Look into your drink. LOOK INTO IT

#monsterdon #DevilDoll

bwahahahahaha

#monsterdon

And the dummy has become the master!

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

oh, doctor-dummy inversion syndrome

sure

why not

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@bryanhowell I think the last time I was in a real bar was when I lived in Portland and had a friend visiting and we went to the most portland of bars and they had a giant picture of Tesla up? So they might well have had a similar poster in the bathroom or something and I didn't notice?

(I don't think it exists anymore, but for anyone familiar with portland it was sweet hereafter)

#Monsterdon

Mercifully quick ending! The dummy is stuck in a dummy and the devil doll is exonerated

-fin
#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

@nhgeek Corollary: You let someone else talk about dummy fight club for you

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Oh, look at me, unlocking this cage and then getting distracted. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Bet this fight was choreographed by John Woo

#monsterdon

Thrill, as a man pretends to be choked by a dummy

#Monsterdon

I've seen an Aphex twin video like this fight

#Monsterdon

they gave the editor some jazz cabbage for this scene

#Monsterdon

*constipated elephant noises*
