It's dangerous to go alone, take this!

ITEM RECEIVED: GUN
#Monsterdon

"We're not permitted to use these" but we can hand them out to civilians like candy #Monsterdon

I like that the barkeep wishes her well w/ her prostitution. #Monsterdon

Flexner's clearly onto the detective's plan to murder-then-marry his way into an inheritance fortune.

That's why he was in Limehouse premptively scoping out the detective's con-artist asian co-conspirator; and why the detective was poised ready to break in after Mag had passed out upon seeing a one-handed Borgia.

The real fortune is all the morphine hidden in the wax figures. #Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

🕯️🏛️ 🧟 🪓 🔪💀 😱

It's a man's life in the British Wax Association...

The fortune is hidden in the bottom of the wax pit

like Morn's mudbath

#monsterdon

"Did you see him at dawn?"

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum1973

There do seem to be a fair amount of art objects laying around which might comprise some of Meg's inheritance.

“Go to a hotel”

“I’ve been begging to, but this guy invited me dinner which I couldn’t do if I went two blocks down to a hotel”

#Monsterdon

Ha. I love that stern glance through the spectacles. #Monsterdon

Wow, Sarge is great to mimic the voice of the dead Dupree, isn't he?

"He contacted me even though he's in his grave."

In most old movies they would have already dosed her twenty times for her hysterics. So at least we have that..

DUNK JULIA.

#monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum #WaxMuseum1976

Great voiceover reading of the will 😀 #Monsterdon

Why doesn't he link those sideburns under his ears and get it over with.

#monsterdon

The taupe stick points toward your taste in music, which is terrible, and you should fix that. #monsterdon

Ha ha ha ha, burn, Julia, burn #Monsterdon

so did they just not get any information from the fortune teller???? she is in danger and being contact by her dead uncle??? aka what the whole movie is about??? #monsterdon

My god if they don’t stop saying ‘Mister Burns’.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon and introducing Pete Townshend as the newsie

Every time someone reads a letter by a fireplace, I expect it to go up in flames. #Monsterdon

Flim-flam! And skullduggery! #Monsterdon

@lalah #monsterdon

This old movie is making ME faint. Oh, no, it's just putting me to sleep....

I like the tea leaf reading.

#monsterdon #WaxMuseum1976

Filmflam, surely.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum
poor Meg, dreaming of capitalism

#monsterdon The fortune telling lady clearly reads the news.

Is there only one Chinese restaurant in Limehouse?

#Monsterdon
#WaxMuseum1976

Oh, BTW, qipaos weren’t a thing before around 1910-1920ish (via Wikipedia). So unsurprisingly the costumes of the Chinese restaurant workers are wrong

#Monsterdon

I distinctly heard "the lavender's dick" #Monsterdon

"Trust the tall stranger who has recently entered your life. He will help you find true happiness with your eternal love: A short unusual fellow who is especially quiet and hard of hearing."

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

"It tells you to trust the tall stranger who just gave me twenty quid. I mean, who just entered your life."

#monsterdon

I’m Meg to people who take me to supper… I’m Wanda in my book club, Bertha at the green grocers and Leslie at the weekend.

The blue stick points directly to the used napkin, someone from beyond the veil is attempting to warn you of a drip of soy sauce on your chin. #Monsterdon

Lavender stick better be a bingo item.

#monsterdon

He slipped her a twenty to put in a good word for him. #Monsterdon

"Ahehehe, old timey racism; so darling, so quaint!"
Meanwhile the waitress is in the kitchen, hastily replacing "Whitey mild" with "Make him PAY" on all the tickets.
#Monsterdon

@arrjay doing an orientalist ex machina in the final 15 like only the british can #monsterdon

Ah yes, ancient "oriental" fortune telling technique of Kerplunk! sticks #Monsterdon

You're a goner.

Now the good news!

#monsterdon

She's only telling you that you're in grave danger so you'll enjoy the rest of your life more. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon lol took Meg a minute to notice the GIGANTIC SWORD I guess

It says "Your bill tonight is 4 pounds 23 pence."

#monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum #WaxMuseum1976

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum
Sleeping with eyeliner on?

@CactuarJoe Why, of course.

What's a retro horror film without a little overt racism. #Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum 👹🍿🎥

Film. Listen. Film listen to me. Sitting in silence for 30 seconds does not count as passing the Bechdel test!

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum1973

Oh this is the plate of changes #Monsterdon

You know what's even harder than using chopsticks? Eating invisible food. There's no food on these plates.

#monsterdon

why are women in old movies always fainting?

#monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum1976

The detective is left handed!

#monsterdon #WaxMuseum1976

Don't be a Ken and complain about the cultural differences in the food, Seargent.

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum 👹🍿🎥

"Silly silly gaijin woman get face smashed by...
... Genghis Khan?!
Maybe you like fortune cookie better."

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

...We're not gonna get Uncomfortable 70s Orientalism, are we? :/ :/ :/ #Monsterdon

Really very Night Gallery. #Monsterdon

All this talk about "my ward" gives me vibes of abuse.

#Monsterdon

⁉️ WAXY TRIVIA 🦎

Thanks to moriareviews.com, Wikipedia and IMDB for tonight's trivial information

(That's all - until next week!)

#Monsterdon #TerrorAtTheWaxMuseum1973 #TerrorAtTheWaxMuseum

Is that Steve Buscemi playing the lovely old gal?

#monsterdon

Time for racism #monsterdon

Of course they have a Dragon Lady gong

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum #WaxMuseum1976

🕯️🏛️ 🧟 🪓 🔪💀 😱

A pair of thlippery thticks, a gong, and thou..

Maybe you just suck, sir.

#monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum #WaxMuseum1976

Blatant racism. That's it, that's the scene.

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

😬

#monsterdon

JUST IN CASE YOU NEEDED A RACISM

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe As soon as she finally gets a date? LOL #Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum 👹🍿🎥

Really straddling those accents with "on thee house"

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum1973

it's more a... Pub & Waxworks, really

#monsterdon

So, Sarge convince her now to go way, but to go away with him.
What a jackass, that's why she is not impressed by his incompetence
#monsterdon
#terrorinthewaxmuseum1973

So even odds on Auntie dying next? #Monsterdon

Murder investigations often involve fancy dinners

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum #WaxMuseum1976

Okay, I just want to point out that despite the age of the actress, Margaret is not of age as Temu Palin hits on her.

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

“Do stay, I’m ever so horny for you.” #Monsterdon

This case is so boring I shall away to Limehouse to chase the dragon

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

Why does Atilla look more like Guido the Hun?

#monsterdon

"Exotic" and "Oriental" in one sentence. Good thing he was supposedly talking about food and not the "striking" woman who was drunky-red-herring's alibi.

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

@crowbriarhexe Carradine likes to keep the ropes to himself 👀

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum1973

"Shall we say 8 o'clock?"
8 o'clock
"OK, I'll see you at 9, then" #Monsterdon

"We both eat, so will you have dinner with me?"

#Monsterdon #TerrorAtTheWaxMuseum

"hell yeah, I got a BUSINESS CASE to tart it up in Limehouse"

#monsterdon

Limehouse sounds not even remotely exciting in any way, but then I suppose this is a culture that considers salt an "exotic spice" #Monsterdon

Give me twenty four hours! We're gonna put on the best Battle of the Bands this wax museum has EVER SEEN! #Monsterdon

Please, give me just 24 hours, I am after all the love-interest in this movie. #monsterdon

There better be a song called 'Limehouse' in this movie.

#Monsterdon

No movie subtitles, it is NOT eerie harpsichord music. A cello is not a harpsichord.

#Monsterdon

He promised her every protection because he has no idea how to defend her. #Monsterdon

I assume there is some rule against dating your suspects, like teachers and students...

#Monsterdon
#WaxMuseum1976

These aren't genuine theories about the killer, I'm just trying to jog my memory because I know I've seen this but I don't remember whodunnit.
#monsterdon

Go, Meg, go!

#monsterdon #WaxMuseum1976

@saucerlost i have, only once. and when i opened my eyes i saw what appeared to be a ghost standing next to my bed, which slowly faded away (my only 'ghost' sighting) #monsterdon

What's with the Taxi Driver stuff on her arms?

#Monsterdon

She leaves and then the dreams stop. Turns out, there was just a small gas leak in her room.

#Monsterdon

Julia is channeling her inner Poirot.
