@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

@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 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

"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!

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!

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

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.

(i also appreciate that it's all cuts of the same shot of the doggo. props to a production that didn't keep the doggo locked in a tiny room any longer than strictly neccesary.
