So, uh, is he a zombie now or something?

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

did the crash merge him and susan?

#Monsterdon

Spoon River Anthology meets Plato's Cave Allegory meets infidelity meets horror?

#monsterdon

"And that's why you're medium rare." #Monsterdon

sex dreams....

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe that's pretty much the 70s? #monsterdon

@xerozohar Insert exaggerated eyebrow waggle here :3 #Monsterdon

I unironically want this phone

#monsterdon

She is remarkably unfussed about the crazed Santa murderer prowling around outside

First things first, I guess

#Monsterdon

#TalesFromtheCrypt1972
#monsterdon

Listening to the quality blood fans loose it here.

Maybe she can ask Santa for some REAL blood....

#monsterdon

that is not blood.....just stop now...

#Monsterdon

God rest ye that one merry gentleman who got merc'd

#Monsterdon

Okay, they just made it better with "god rest ye merry gentleman" as the body bounces down the stairs. This movie is bringing its A game for music direction

#monsterdon

this is the most 70s house ever.....

#Monsterdon

oh wow, 70s phone!

#Monsterdon

Love that #FF0000 blood on the shag carpet apparently shorn from a single, enormous, rectangular polar bear.

#monsterdon

"Better lock the door so no murderer gets in here" - the murderer

#monsterdon

She’s so casual in how she handles her husband’s dead body. I have to imagine this isn’t her first murder.

#Monsterdon

look at that tiny radio :blobfox3c:

amazing technology they have these days

#Monsterdon

@catzilla #monsterdon

ikr that is literally a killer outfit.

I mean if you're going to kill your husband at least send the kid to grammas? Have you no decency? #monsterdon

I would kill someone too if I had that wallpaper on my second story

#monsterdon

CHRISTMAS KILL

10 min, not bad

#Monsterdon

Someone please capture that 2-3 second shot of an extremely 70s fireplace and loop it for ten hours

#monsterdon

Morning: Crypt Exploration
Afternoon: Important appointment

#Monsterdon

All in good time. Just shy of 90 minutes worth.

#Monsterdon

That is the biggest baby skull I've ever seen. #Monsterdon

@nazokiyoubinbou lol

Although the Paris Catacombs are a huge tourist attraction so idk, it kinda makes sense

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCryptmas

This is gonna turn into It Lives By Night, isn't it. There's gonna be bats here any second and then everyone turns into a furry. #Monsterdon

Wow, first act is not staying with the tour group. Welp, time to die! #Monsterdon

I hope my tomb has a chauffer

#Monsterdon

Launching my #monsterdon thread for Tales from the Crypt, which is a movie and probably different from the show with the ghoulish puppet host. Oh wait and it has Peter Cushing in this, excellent!

Monsterdon is the thing where we watch a monster movie every week and make fun of it. Join us if you wish, following the hash tag and @Taweret the keeper of the poll. Or mute the hash tag if you'd rather not see a stream of posts about monster movies. Just do the thing you want.

The daylight really adds to the spookiness.

#Monsterdon

How did they clear the goths out of this churchyard?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Tocatta in D was always a great way to charm a pipe organ playing roadie to lose their knickers, and also, every haunted house…

I dig the principal's outfit... kinda a different take on the vampire cape....

#monsterdon #WrongCrypt

Bumpasses!

@moira @nazokiyoubinbou

"The white man lost his god... lost his mind." White people so crazy they brought brought great horrors to Japan. Like Catholics and Draculas.
#Monsterdon #EvilofDracula

Yeah, Kyoko-chan's sleeping like the DEAD

#monsterdon #WrongCrypt

@SnoopJ @aburka @Taweret @xoagray @ryan oooh nice one, it took me a minute

#Monsterdon

"One or two girls disappear each year" ?!?! wtf?

#monsterdon #WrongCrypt

One Piece guy! He just feels like a 70s gangster anytime he shows up.
#Monsterdon #EvilofDracula

@CactuarJoe He aged terribly. #Monsterdon #TalesfromtheCrypt 🪦🧟

I didn't really get a French Literature kinda vibe from Igor-san...

#monsterdon #WrongCrypt

He's a Wizard, @otheorange_tag

That crypt keeper gets around...I'm sure he'd appreciate a sip or a bottle :)

#Monsterdon

@ProngSprong_nCloven #monsterdon

I figure if she got him to a lab, to be studied as to why he isn't dying, they'd at least put him on painkillers 24-7...

@blogdiva I wanna name my next dog Shane

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

@apLundell What did we learn? #monsterdon

@kshernandez Maybe??? If *that's* a mortal sin, tho, I'm kind of worried because I've made some pretty poorly thought-out choices in my time, too. Am I gonna get sent to hell for asking for a milkshake when I knew I wasn't gonna be able to finish it? #Monsterdon

@SnoopJ @moira

I guess I should be glad I was a kid and didn't know any better, then.

#monsterdon

@kshernandez @CactuarJoe We all should know something about that

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCryptmas

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972 memento mori, motherfuckers!

*fucks off into the crypt*

ok that was actually a lot of fun everybody <3

@thatdawnperson oh good point, maybe the sea of fire counts as an ocean off in which to fuck

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe It's one of the greatest! #Monsterdon #TalesfromtheCrypt 🪦🧟

@SnoopJ @diazona Oh, right, I had sort of forgotten about that. Though yeah, I agree.

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

"Bunch of Tory arseholes get thrown into Hell. Merry Christmas!"

Dickens would have loved it!

#Monsterdon

@diazona @SnoopJ I can't say I saw an orb (it was also on my card)

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

thank you #monsterdon, that was delightful

@socketwench #monsterdon

there's lots of ren-faire-style shops online now fwiw.

@SnoopJ fair

...was there really no reflective orb at any point? huh

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCryptmas

That was so classic, so trope-tastic that I think it will go on a playlist for next Halloween. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon If I was shown a doorway to Hell, I would simply not walk through it.

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #TalesFromTheCrypt, from 1972, was the origin of our favorite Crypt Keeper! We also had,

perhaps... YOU!

#monsterdon

So this guy just runs the orientation session for Hell.

#monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

lol, "Tories go to hell"

An excellent sentiment for Christmas!

#Monsterdon

You're all dead fuckos....

#Monsterdon

Now we know the origin of the Escape Room concept #monsterdon

That was delightfully fucked up

#monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

"Looks like meat's back on the menu, boy."

#Monsterdon

this revenge maze is superb...

...it's like a squid game or something

#Monsterdon

It puts the BBQ sauce on its skin or it will get the hose again. #Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

ah hahahahahahahah did they build that door just so they could slam it in his face? that was amazing.

#monsterdon

Eh honestly the razor corridor does not seem like that much of an obstacle if you can see

Unless they start squeezing him, Death Star style

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCryptmas

Clever. Not a guillotine as such but still very much the means to his end. #Monsterdon

soldier, wrap your jacket around your arm....

#monsterdon

ruh roh, "He'll be fed alright" #monsterdon

@aburka 🤦 😂

These people deserve that pun though

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCryptmas

Hey, man, so that was Karma on the phone. Yeah, so he says that if you get snuck up on by a blind man, it wasn’t his fault, you’re just a fuckwit and to stop writing those bitchy editorials, yeah?
#Monsterdon

This segment is kinda long and slow paced. But to good effect. The slow rising action works. And might somehow be better than Peter Cushing's nice old man acting.
#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

Trapped in the dog trap by a dog. #monsterdon

@Lazarou #monsterdon

I was thinkin a guillotine...

Oh yes Shane. Eat the rich! There's a good boy. #Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

Santa's workshop!
#monsterdon

These old men are very handy.

#Monsterdon

@gnomon This?

https://imcdb.org/vehicle_132493-Jensen-FF-119-070-1968.html

#monsterdon

I hope they are luring the dog and not going to harm the dog...

#Monsterdon

@samsagreg @catzilla

Exactly, Heath *taxed* the rich. Thatcher lauded them and let them off the hook

#Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow I don't think it's too bad tho, mostly trap him (iirc) #monsterdon

SNEAK has increased

#Monsterdon

I'd kind of expect the blind guys to ambush him in the dark at some point, you know, tactical advantage? #monsterdon

I suspect Colonel Klink's gonna be seeing some red paint soon....

#monsterdon

"Which one is Greenwood?"

the dead one

Tory bastard....

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
#TalesFromTheCrypt1972
new boss goes from zero to "release the hounds" in less than 10 seconds

@samsagreg @catzilla

Thatcher elected in 1979, in 1972 PM was Ted Heath EDIT: who was definitely not Thatcherite. Both Tories but Thatcher was his polar opposite

#Monsterdon

@MatthewTitus88 he's in a lot of horror stuff, forget his name #monsterdon

@catzilla earlier, by abt 10 yrs mb? #monsterdon

I'm betting against Brit Murray's eyes

#Monsterdon

Was this from the Tatcher era? It feels a very anti-Tatcher movie #monsterdon
