"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

they gave the editor some jazz cabbage for this scene

#Monsterdon

I've seen an Aphex twin video like this fight

#Monsterdon

*constipated elephant noises*

#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

"The doctor took me off the drugs"

Ah, so sad.

#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

"(WR)ESTLING MIDGETS" in the backwards banner in the background.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

#Monsterdon 👩 😏 👻 🎎 👹 😱

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

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

#monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

#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 ...

⁉️ 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

#Monsterdon

TELL MARK HES A DUMMY, JESSICA

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

A soul thief!

@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

"I have absolute control over the souls of men! I don't make scale, tho." #Monsterdon

Thanks #mst3k "I'm not touching you in not touching you"
#Monsterdon #DevilDoll

"another, who knows"

would that...be Hugo?

#monsterdon

At least she clearly practiced her lines
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👩 😏 👻 🎎 👹 😱

Does a character straight up just telling you what happened before count as 'narration' for bingo purposes?

I'm going to assume that's a dueling scar on vorelli's cheek

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

oh that's why he glues the beard on and beard gluing was foregrounded in the movie #monsterdon

#monsterdon The wallpaper has little stars of david on them... huh…

Okay. So, this flashback is probably the most interesting part of the film, so far.

#Monsterdon

Hugo in vac-wrap.

Did Vorelli grow / paste on that beard to hide the scarring?

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

obligatory "he vas.... 🎻 MY BOYFRIEND"

#Monsterdon

Is that a German accent? I feel like Teri Garr's accent in Young Frankenstein was more convincing.

#Monsterdon #DevilDoll1964

God, they even UNWRAP A DUMMY slowly.

#Monsterdon

Very low energy unboxing video.

#monsterdon

I predict little wooden babies coming soon. #Monsterdon #DevilDoll 🪆🕵🏾‍♀️🎥🍿

#Monsterdon 👩 😏 👻 🎎 👹 😱

if you're going to dollify a person you should prolly change his name to cover your tracks

THRILL!

To the doll unwrapping scene!

#monsterdon

Hugo is hugoing

better resolve the plot before he is Hugone!

#monsterdon

“It was a long time ago. I was younger.”

Yes, that’s how time works #Monsterdon

"Are you a ventriloquist cop? You have to tell me if you're a ventriloquist cop."

#Monsterdon

"Hugo!"

#monsterdon

20 minutes to wrap this shit up.

#Monsterdon

> and they would not mumblel mumble...

WHAT?

#monsterdon

Hugo’s sister!
