PLANS. #Monsterdon

All the tourists seem rather well-dressed to me, especially for walking through a dungeon. Did everyone in Britain in the 70s don a suit to walk through a catacomb?

#monsterdon

@amyfou

Should have at least sprung for the audio guide

#Monsterdon

"Don't wander off and get lost..."

...and that's exactly what they do

#Monsterdon

Deadend, deadend... deadend deadend deadend deaaddeaeeeeeeeendenened. #monsterdon

This #monsterdon starts with a tour of some Europe Architecture including catacombs, a graveyard and other Diablo-themed locations. As is customary, this architecture tour is accompanied by Excessive Organ Music.

Then we go to a catacomb where a guy in a hat is giving a tour and explaining that the catacombs are where monks would go pray during Henry VII's reign and also stay close to him because the catacombs are dangerous.

"These catacombs contain dangerous levels of Englishness"

#Monsterdon

Yay, tourism

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

If no one hollers "Come back, Shane!" In this movie, I will be very disappointed.

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt

Already the most cromulent soundtrack for a #Monsterdon movie to date

I could go for some curly fries. #monsterdon

Ominous organ music and drippy title font, a good start

Ah this takes me Bach

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCryptmas

Shane! Shane! Shane! #monsterdon

I feel like this cemetery is far too green to be appropriately creepy

#monsterdon

Look, this movie has Bach organ music at the beginning so it automatically gets 5* from me

#Monsterdon

An Amicus production... okay but I'm not promising to be friends with it. #monsterdon

blood font in the title screen! #monsterdon

Nice organ, buddy

#Monsterdon

knuckle tats idea:

love you all <3 <3 #MonsterdonSavesChristmas #Monsterdon

Wait, why didn't they send Kyoko-chan to civilization where she could get REAL care?!?

idk, doubt the guy's gonna resort to cannibalism just walking along the beach...

#Monsterdon Special Thank You 🦖🎞️

✨ @steggy and @paco

The staggering success of
#MonsterdonSavesChristmas was founded significantly on your matching donations. Thank you very much!

@Zerofactorial Not all blind people are missing the eye mechanism that synchronizes their circadian body clock. It might happen if the entire eyeball is destroyed or removed, but partial retinal damage or optic nerve damage might still leave the synchronize-on-blue-light functions intact.

Could definitely save on light bulbs, though. It's a wonder there were any working bulbs available for the death maze.#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

@MatthewTitus88 outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend, inside a dog it's too dark to read! #monsterdon

Evil of Dracula's got some good posters
#Monsterdon #EvilofDracula

Ma`am. You're bleeding. And hot. Are you okay?
#Monsterdon #EvilofDracula

Eagerly awaiting the final tally for #MonsterdonSavesChristmas.

#Monsterdon

@amyfou @Taweret @cherizilla @JoeWynne And neither canine was depicted as dying, which is a plus #monsterdon

@Louisa We can't chuckle and say "Of course, she should have known that if she murdered her husband then Santa Claus would break through her window and strangle her! In retrospect it's so obvious!"

Because those two things are completely unrelated. They're not cleverly connected any way!

I'm sure writing clever twists is hard, but ... that was their job. Twilight Zone managed it every week, these guys just had to make one movie!

#monsterdon

@SnoopJ Why were there 4 season of Lost?

#monsterdon

Rockin that turtleneck-with-a-blazer look, huh?

#monsterdon #WrongCrypt

See what travelling abroad and buying art would get you!

…but wait: he couldn't die, so how could he go to Hell?

#Monsterdon
#TalesFromTheCrypt1972

@Terencio Some of the songs are freakin' bangers, too. It's a musical. #Monsterdon

@moira Fair point. #Monsterdon

Oh that guy from One Piece is in this.

#Monsterdon #EvilofDracula

It wasn't awe-inspiring in my opinion but not that bad by #monsterdon standards. My review on #letterboxd awarded it three and a half stars https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/tales-from-the-crypt/ #monsterdon

I enjoyed Tales from the Crypt! I was expecting something more like the later show (and movies) of the same name, but we got something more like Hammer films, which was a pleasant surprise.

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, @JoeWynne for #MonsterdonDrink, and @ryan for #MonsterdonStream!

Happy Holidays and have a safe and enjoyable New Year!

#Monsterdon

So wait, the monkey paw story guy ended up living in agony for eternity, AND spending eternity in hell?

Seems like double dipping to me.

#monsterdon

Hey it'll be funny if I win what I donated

#monsterdon #monsterdonsavesChristmas #talesfromTheCrypt

@Mikal @SnoopJ @moira Stick around and you can make up for it

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCryptmas

For every tale from the crypt, someone somewhere knows what they did. Perhaps that person is watching tonight. Perhaps it’s you.

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

#monsterdon absolutely no tension anywhere in this thing, incredible

Every story was like a much worse Twilight Zone episode, and each one just cut off before any meaningful ending

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

❤️ Thank you @Taweret for hosting this clever crypt of tales!

❗And what a phenomenon #MonsterdonSavesChristmas has turned out to be!!

🅱️ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! Love the tree stamps!

🦖And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: You met the challenge of multiple stories within a movie. You are now clearly at the Advanced Level.

@CactuarJoe Perhaps that one was about making poorly thought out choices? #Monsterdon #TalesfromtheCrypt 🪦🧟

Now on https://miru.miyaku.media/: The Evil of Dracula! #monsterdon #WrongCrypt

I cannot describe the multiplier of how much better Scrooge (1970) is than Tales from the Crypt (1972). Same studio. Even the falling down into Hell effect was better in Scrooge. #Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972 the floor is lava

Thank you @Taweret

And looking forward to seeing winners!
#Monsterdon #MonsterdonSaveschristmas

This conspiracy of the blind men is certainly intriguing.

#Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai @diazona @SnoopJ Grimsby had one next to his Ouija board. #monsterdon #TalesFromTheCryptmas1972

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972 ok that razor blade wall is like truly horrifying

MIRU dot MIYAKU dot MEDIA second-feature time!!! #monsterdon

"Perhaps you?"

so delightfully cheesy

You know, I didn't even know this movie was a thing? I was only familiar with the later US one. So that was fun!

Now I'm off to feed my kitties. Goodnight #monsterdon, Happy Solstice, Merry whatever holidays you partake in, thank @Taweret for hosting, and see y'all next week!

Ok, that was a good ending for the frame.

#Monsterdon

PERHAPS YOU???

Hey, I liked this very much! I love a revenge plot and this is very eat the rich. The acting was not bad, the costumes were GREAT, we had PETER CUSHING <3, a zombie santa, and bright red blood. What else could I ask for? Really not bad

Thanks @Taweret for organizing, great choice!
#monsterdon

They were all so agreeable to walk right through the doorway to hell.

#Monsterdon

@fabio

There were some ups and down, but overall surprisingly good!

#Monsterdon

@nazokiyoubinbou but why santa #monsterdon

I forgot how fun the little drop to hell animation is #Monsterdon

I feel these people are entitled to a partial refund of what they paid for their tours #monsterdon

MOI???? 😱

#Monsterdon

So A Christmas Carol with Peter Cushing instead of Albert Finney, sorta. #Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

okay #monsterdonSavesChristmas is officially over

@xoagray what are our final numbers?

#monsterdon

The Cryptkeeper played god in Time Bandits, is that the same guy?

#monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

lol "perhaps you?"

Nope, never Tory me.

#Monsterdon

They could just stay in the non-burning room with the crypt keeper. Annoy him until he lets them go. #monsterdon

Very British, queuing for damnation.

#monsterdon #talesfromthecrypt

didn't they learn anything from the Blind Men segment? The coulda ganged up and taken out the Crypt Keeper!?!

#monsterdon

MAYHAPS?

#monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

send that landlord twink to hell #monsterdon

#monsterdon they spared the doctor death by staircase

@RobynGoodfellow Yea, that one is messed up.
#Monsterdon

...and none of it was real 🤦

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCryptmas

outside is Vetinari's kitten pit.

#monsterdon

Coming next month on Steam: Hospital of the Blind, a fun little platformer with a twist.
#monsterdon

The Major gets the Luigi Long Game couldn't happen to a better man #Monsterdon

This is a level of pettiness that's just 🤌🏾 #Monsterdon #TalesfromtheCrypt 🪦🧟

I am starting to wonder what happened to the Major's predecessor. This is an awfully elaborate trap even for a couple of day's work. These poor men seem to have been planning this for a while. Maybe a less obvious trial run on the equally deplorable former administrator and now the final trap with this enormous ass. #Monsterdon

That was very satisfying. Good boy Shane. #Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

ouchie ouchie ow ow ow!
#monsterdon

Razor blades sticking out of things to perfectly cut you. This is actually a nightmare of mine because of people in labs who leave them lying around and don't put them away safely.

A block of polymer clay is a great safety thing in the lab.

#Monsterdon

kek at turning off the lights

#monsterdon

yes! yes shane, the rich dude has treats! go!

#monsterdon

lol owned

#monsterdon

Hey, this is what the Joker meant about the loyalty of hungry dogs, right?

#Monsterdon

I hope I have as a good a team when I get to assisted living, damn! #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Enrichment is important! #monsterdon

shaving it close here

#monsterdon

Death by a thousand cuts

And then Shane

#Monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

This is wildly elaborate. No wonder they were working for days.

#monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

see they have no problem with the dog #monsterdon

welcome to tantalizing tetanus trail!

#monsterdon #TalesFromTheCrypt1972

That can't be a fun thing to build while blind...
