What a damp mummy. #Monsterdon

This is starting to look a lot like New Jersey transit, if I'm honest. #monsterdon

#monsterdon quoth @k8eb: "1903 is _famous_ for cat eye shadow"

Oh sure, just WHISTLE while ACCIDENTALLY RELEASING THE BEAST #Monsterdon

here comes victim number two, i do believe. #monsterdon

They've gotta work out who's the top. #monsterdon

#monsterdon cool that "mad monk" was a common enough kind of guy in the 1900s that people are just like "oh yeah that mad monk"

"Help me!"
"In what way, madam?"

😏
#Monsterdon

@catzilla I guess so... we have a countess, white guys with beards, and white guys without beards, that's already one more group than I usually see

#Monsterdon

That is a very awkward situation with the bunks, what's going on here?

#monsterdon

He used yoga to prevent the chalk from writing on the crate. #monsterdon #HorrorExpress

ah yes, yoga. that makes sense

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Hipnosis Yoga will be the next hot exercise.

yoga??? does yoga do things to chalk? i gotta get back into that shit. #monsterdon

A romantic interest for Christopher Lee?
And a cute little puppy awww... oh no.
#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

always bring an evil-detecting dog when you board the horror express
#monsterdon

It's probably just Gorgo inside there #monsterdon

"your country"

Did people describe Poland like that between the 3rd partition and Versailles?

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

oh, yes, England

#Monsterdon

"My dog is very afraid of something in this room. I'm going to get closer to the things it's afraid of. This is good pet care."

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

That dog doesn't seem like it wants Shakespeare and crumpets.

#monsterdon

Enter the Countess, with riches and a very aggravated lap poodle.

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

You have bones in that crate, of course the dog would be interested in bones. Don't matter if they're two days old or two million, a chew toy is a chew toy.

#Monsterdon

pictured: me when i hit the dab pen too hard

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

Ohhhhhh no. Shoulda checked "Does the dog die" #monsterdon #HorrorExpress

Did that box's tummy just rumble after it ate a man's soul?
Damn it internet. I can watch fine but uploading images is slow. So maybe less of that tonight.
#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

oh no, dog in a horror movie alert #monsterdon

Pupper!

Oh no, have to check doesthedogdie.com

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

#Monsterdon Academic infighting is the same all over.

I am enjoying the crowd and train shots, though, they decked those extras out :D #Monsterdon

"Normally she likes Englishmen"

She is a foolish dog then....

#monsterdon

It's good that they have the "primate car" labeled just in case.

#monsterdon

That thing is packed like it is going to the moon. #monsterdon

just can't resist touching it, can you sir. next time, ask first. #monsterdon

"Just a snack... no, no, I've got to wait 'til later, it'll spoil my dinner."

#monsterdon #HorrorExpress

#monsterdon. Those police uniforms hurt my eyes. Definitely not the fashion police.

Joining the thread late but I've been hearing a lot of racist sounding music from the kitchen #monsterdon

The Love Theme from Horror Express

#monsterdon

#monsterdon "satan is evil" oh buddy read the room

I hope the plot doesn't crate-r #monsterdon

Stealing artifacts, how very British
#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe it'd better, otherwise I'm going to be real disappointed

#Monsterdon

CRATES ON A TRAIN
WE'RE GOIN DOWN IN FLAMES
AND
OH
RASPUTIN SAID SO

#monsterdon

It's not snakes on a plane. It's crates on a train.... #monsterdon

#monsterdon “But Satan is evil.” Well, we know he’s well read in theology. Also: Foreshadowing!

ooh yeah Telley Sivales soon!

#monsterdon

and be careful, it has a frozen corpse in it

#monsterdon

I want random priests to declare my luggage to be unholy. #monsterdon

Is "a conjuror's trick" on the bingo card?

#monsterdon

OK, the Boney M tune is that character's theme tune now #monsterdon

"Whatever you have here is unholy!"

Pay him no mind, he said the same thing about the dining car. #Monsterdon

guard: what is in there, excellency?

christopher lee: uhh... NOT my weed

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

I didn't expect Nostradamus in this movie

#monsterdon
#HorrorExpress

#monsterdon oh right christopher lee is physically terrifying

I am liking how in all these widely separated parts of the world (China and Russia) it's still just England with basically English people

Oh wait, not "liking", the other thing

#Monsterdon

Peter Cushing getting on a train: some friendly bribery.
Christopher Lee getting on a train: extreme violence.
#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

🎵 rah rah rasputin 🎶 #monsterdon

Starring... Rasputin #monsterdon

goddammit "general wang" and choice paralysis

#monsterdon #HorrorExpress

"We call that bribery. Back in England we do things the civilized way. With *violence!*" #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Dead men wear spats. An apparently Rasputin hangs out at the railroad.

"...General told me to find you and make myself useful"
"You can start by cleaning up this mess."

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

#monsterdon “Oh damn, they’re going to take away my pointy hat for this.”

#monsterdon RASPUTIN!

It's a battle of mustaches. #monsterdon #HorrorExpress

#Monsterdon did ... did he just colonize that dude's office?!

oops. nevermind. #monsterdon

Peter Cushing looks good in a talis.

#monsterdon

That skull appears to be candied #monsterdon

WHAT'S IN THE BOOOOOX

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

@allanb fossils and bones, fossils and bones

and plankton from the sea

oh wait I did it again 🤦

#Monsterdon

"For a woman, he means"

No, I think he means "She's the brains, and I take all the credit"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Turns out Luke actually didn't reach the first marker, RIP

Ah, This is the crate where they store Octodon.social?

#monsterdon

i'm watching this youtube copy now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LCtzLEebBI #monsterdon

#monsterdon Suspicious hat man.

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

The Horror on the Trans Siberian Express.
#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

#monsterdon Big Trouble in Big China

(thank fuck they got actual people of Chinese descent rather than what other movies of the time would do)

#monsterdon

Hope people are enjoying #monsterdon tonight. My riffing group by coincidence, already watched tonight's film a couple of weeks ago.

So instead, I'm torturing myself with NBC's "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (1993).

Don't pray for me, I'm already damned.

Super loud and suspensful music. And all people are doing is walking around. #monsterdon

That's uh... that's a very nice hat. #monsterdon

Pretty blurry print on Tubi #Monsterdon

So the horror express is the train they took to get to the cave? #Monsterdon

At least it wasn't a clone.

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

🦖TRIVIA EXPRESS 🎞️

Scenes too dark?

The original US theatrical prints had to be struck from the film's "beaten-up workprint", with overly dark color grading and defects, due to the producer's financial problems.

#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

#monsterdon Dr. Zhivago is really lost…

Hell yeah I love me some staid Narration. #Monsterdon

CHOO CHOOOO!

All Aboard the Horror Express!

Of course you can always mute the #Monsterdon tag if you are a coward and wish to take the next train all good

"follow me into my wokey hole sir, nice tache sir, shine the light in my eyes sir #monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie You're right. Look at the capital As in the opening credits. Some lean left. Some lean right. Some are centered. Really fascinating. #monsterdon

just sit right back and you'll hear a tale

a tale of a fateful expedition

#monsterdon #HorrorExpress

#Monsterdon is starting. You may want to mute me.

More bread updates later!

#monsterdon Narration! BING!!

The movie is told by a letter written about a disasterous archeological expedition. Sure Lovecraftian.
And really weird metal guitar and whistling music. I forgot how odd the soundtrack was.
#Monsterdon #HorrorExpress

#monsterdon en Español? Here for that

Also, is that first shot day for night? NICE

Anyway, now for the obligatory pre-movie vision test.
