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

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

@Terencio I think it was the TARDIS vwarp vwarps

the doctor did it

as a gag

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@Terencio needs more birds #monsterdon

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!

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 !

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

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

they gave the editor some jazz cabbage for this scene

#Monsterdon

I've seen an Aphex twin video like this fight

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Movie is really encouraging me to rest my eyes... lol… ponderous clarinet…

oh god the moiré patterns have now infected the roof of the building! stop it before it spreads any further!

#monsterdon

How many chairs does Vorelli have?

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

Go Hugo fuck it all up!
#Monsterdon

You GO, Hu GO!!!

#monsterdon

Oh God. Virrelli is so vile. Please let the master die #Monsterdon

Ya know, I'm beginning to suspect this here Vorelli feller might not be so nice. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Go HUGO!

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

"I'm speaking through ADR, but just do as I say." #Monsterdon

@GroupNebula563 @moira Harry Nilsson’s song was certainly about dummies.

#Monsterdon

Time is running short on this #Monsterdon we have to switch from dialogue to internal monologue to move things along

#Monsterdon 👩 😏 👻 🎎 👹 😱

"the only woman I ever cared about" do you not have a mother, sir

#Monsterdon 👩 😏 👻 🎎 👹 😱

Does a character telling us in advance what's going to happen next count as 'narration' for bingo purposes?

So it really should have been named Bride of Devil Doll?

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

Doesn't really look like anyone but Hugo is going to stop the creep in his plans...

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon And now we get an inner monologue! This movie has it all, man

My beautiful little wife will die, eating me all... oh _leaving_me...

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

what if we just took a video tour of this gorgeous house, and left this weird love triangle to its own deviced.

#monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

Boy is he going to be embarrassed when he discovers the airline's new "all dummies must have their own seat assignment" policy.

#monsterdon #devildoll1964

#monsterdon And then she and Varelli lived happily ever after. The End.

Facelick!

#monsterdon

Cheering for the monster 🪆
#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

you brought this upon yourself dude, why are you mad

#Monsterdon

Marianne is having The Talk, you see

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Behold! A tortured adolescence riddled with acne! No amount of sandblasting will fix that!

Must be Sunday ... my #𝔐𝔬𝔫𝔰𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔡𝔬𝔫 filter kicked in ...

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

⁉️ DEVIL TRIVIA 👿🎎

Bryant Haliday (The Great Vorelli), would probably want you to focus less on this film, and more on the fact that he was one of the co-founders of JANUS FILMS.

#DevilDoll1964

What if just, Vorelli captured a demon in a doll and that's what grants him fame, and he's in a battle of wills. Shorter plot, scarier, gives William Sylvester something to actually fight. #Monsterdon

The music seems to be under the impression that something interesting happened.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

@xerozohar I mean that was *exactly* the villain I've been imagining

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

1964 walk & talk scene

#Monsterdon

having trouble keeping my eyes open tbh

#monsterdon

who even is this magic doctor anyway, why are you listening to him he just keeps saying "sometims magic breaks your wife's mind what can you do about it" #monsterdon

Maybe Maryanne will start dancing the twist again.

#monsterdon

“I don’t know how and I can’t give you any scientific explantion, but I tell you it’s true.” #Monsterdon

It's so tiring when a movie spends this long on a character not being believed over something we all transparently know to be true. Stop talking about the thing, just do the thing!

#monsterdon

"Interrupted hypnosis". Because *that* sounds scientific.

#Monsterdon

I think this doctor is on Vorelli’s payroll.

#Monsterdon

I think we are the true hypnotism victims here

#Monsterdon

@LuluHelle @CactuarJoe

Ventrilocop is a loose cannon who doesn't play by the rules! But he's always ready to share a gottle of geer with the goys in glue!

#Monsterdon

Vorelli was doing that gross 90s edgy stage magic. #Monsterdon

@LuluHelle And the spinoff, Ventrilocop vs. Mimecop #Monsterdon

"I'm going to kill you, this time," a stabbing in front of witnesses, & that's an *accident*? #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Ventrilocop II coming to a theatre soon
#Monsterdon

Now, somebody else waltzes in to tell us more of Hugo's back story.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

with special guest Robbie Coltrane

#Monsterdon

what's with all of these sets being so cramped, anyway?

#monsterdon

oh my god Verelli spilled some paint on that man's chest

#Monsterdon

So he just killed a guy on stage? What? #Monsterdon #DevilDoll

So much for feeling nothing

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

I don’t think he felt nothing

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

"He will feel nothing"

The entire audience is numb at this point
