#monsterdon By the way, someone should go check on Karkov.

This isn't a foundry, molten wax isn't hot enough to be instantly deadly.

All the movie posters for that movie lied. I wasn’t expecting cut-rate mystery schlock, I was expecting rampaging waxworks

THANK YOU

jesus fucking christ i'm so mad at this movie now

(which is also the first actual emotion it's evoked out of me)

#monsterdon #WaxMuseum1976

Still don’t get who did it but not that interested to find out. RIP Krakov.

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

@Lazarou

But it was the pub landlord, not Flexner

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

@CactuarJoe Still a distinct lack of probing. #Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

@moira THE BEAST MUST DIE! #monsterdon

Ah sneaky. It was not Ray Milland, but the other guy with keys. Nicely done. #Monsterdon

aw forget it #monsterdon , time for the afterparty on....

I have emotions about that Wax Museum film and they ain't 'terror!'

#Monsterdon

and he would've gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling kids

ty for joining, everyone!!

#monsterdon

We found out that he'd once been an actor, in a play called "Terror in the Wax Museum". Strange coincidence. #monsterdon

Well, that sure was (mumbles).

#Monsterdon #WaxMuseum1976

>> According to the Box review and 3 Nov 1972 DV item, producer Andrew J. Fenady used twelve members of the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts Pageant of the Masters, a popular southern California "Living Picture" troupe, to portray the wax figures.

Thanks y'all. Till next week...

#monsterdon #terrorinthewaxmuseum

and there's the end!

CAST IN WAX

#monsterdon

#monsterdon What if Scooby Do were a Hammer Horror production? I wonder what the Harlem Globetrotters are doing right now....

Ending with Dupree and the murderer being added to the museum is good. But man, the rest of the movie...

#Monsterdon #WaxMuseum1973

@allanb Yeah, he reads lips. Well read.

#Monsterdon #WaxMuseum1973

"We found out Ray Milland had once been an actor... but did shit like this for cheap."

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

exposition central

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum #WaxMuseum1976

I'm guessing Kharkov didn't survive the plunge into the vat of aerated paint... I mean boiling wax. #monsterdon

back at cha bruv

WAIT...!

#monsterdon

.... you know what, fuck this movie.

#monsterdon

Is this the prequel to The Fanatic

#Monsterdon

The Met using a sex worker as bait for a killer?!

*gasp

#Monsterdon

Bingo!

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum #MonsterdonBingo

be funny if the old man's still alive and the whole thing was actually about tax evasion and not real estate at all

#monsterdon #WaxMuseum1976

FOR A LIMITED TIME GET THREE MORE STICKS FOR ONLY A SHILLING.
#monsterdon

I ordered takeout from a new to me Chinese place a few weeks back. The bar area was great. There was a pretty good size indoor garden. And there was a large outdoor patio that was covered that was also cool. Looked like it was built in the 60s/70s. #monsterdon

I'm glad there's a gong behind her or I'd be lost

#Monsterdon

Not sure if this is period-accurate racism, or just 70s racism, or maybe it's just the greatest hits compilation. #monsterdon

ugggggghhhhhh summoning the dragon lady with a gong booooooo skip this scene #monsterdon

Oh no!

#monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum1973

this how a cop gets to expense his date's dinner.

#monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum1973

Can we ALL just get away from this for a moment?

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

She then wakes up and sees her uncle, the OG deceased wax magician saying her name above her bed, which is weird. Then she screams and wakes up and explains her dream to the heiress who doesn't see anything.

#monsterdon

I wish you'd stay. Stay and help me take some of the clutter off this wall

#Monsterdon

Margaret

#Monsterdon

lol, do other people have dreams about running in black voids because I don't yet I see it a lot in film...

#Monsterdon

Gasp

#Monsterdon

These lines are all really good:

Burns: “I don’t give a damn for your opinion, that’s for sure.”

Flexner: “Come over here with your bloody dollars and cart something off that I’ve slaved years to build.”

Burns: “All right, all right, I’ve got money. That’s how I get what I want. You’ve got talent, build another wax works.”

Flexner: “This took me a lifetime.”

Burns: “Take another lifetime.”

Flexner: “You rotten beggar.”

#Monsterdon

Do you mind? My head is the size of an entire freight train.

#monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum1973

Sound off if you would refuse to convict Kharkov; I'm sure we can rustle up at least 12 people
#Monsterdon

@jammerb Did you try asking the same question BUT LOUDER?!

#monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum1973

I can't really hear what they're saying, and I'm mildly dyslexic, so I wildly misread the "buttonhole" subtitle as a different and much funnier hole.

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

In the street outside the pub, Mr Burns hits on the redhead singer, who rebukes his advances. However, Mr. Burns keeps bothering her until Kharkov makes noises at him from behind his drainage grate.

Mr. Burns then wanders through an alley, being chased by a figure that looks like Wax the Ripper. The next morning or something the niece finds him sitting in the wax museum impaled by a sword.

#monsterdon

Took her long enough to see he had a sword in him. #monsterdon

lol, finally, something happens!

#Monsterdon

This movie isn't half bad.

It's not half great either, but I'm an optimist.

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

Laurie the singer went to RADA, & still with us at 93 y.o.

Just one more round, friends

LET. THE. MAN. GRIEVE.

@Violinknitter definitely not from our Scotland Yard then... #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🕯️🏛️ 🧟 🪓 🔪💀 😱
#TerrorInTheWaxMuseum1976

um a 'wax museum of horrors' is honestly gonna be gauche

“…surprisingly, he’s a grand master at chess.”

Me, back storying Karkov.

#Monsterdon

Aunt Julia won't let a funeral get in the way of profit, her lobes are tingling....

#Monsterdon

shut up lady, YOU shouldn't be allowed to come either, but somehow they let you out of the house.

#monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum1973

Kharkov stop chewing the scenery, you aren't in the will. #monsterdon

The only one who really gives a damn about the guy. Let him cry, ffs.

#monsterdon

You can lie to Ray Milland… he can see right through you

#monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum1973

No, we're going to make Karkov pay for the window. His new song is on the charts above Oasis.

#Monsterdon

@littlemiao Mixed use zoning (residential + commercial)

#Monsterdon #WaxMuseum1973

Those are all definitely wax figures and not extras in thick makeup. #monsterdon

Side note: The Borgias show with Jeremy Irons was pretty good and no one talks about it

#Monsterdon

@ohiofi @peterries #monsterdon

I think there was a Twilight Zone episode too. And a Kraftwerk song.

I want more of the display of Serj Tankian

#Monsterdon

Is her name Julia? Anyway, she went from wearing an 1890s black mourning dress to a fully 1970s robe

ETA: She’s named Meg. Oops

#Monsterdon

again, if you inherit a wax museum, the first thing you need to know is that you should not live in the wax museum. how is this so normal to an entire family #monsterdon

The heiress fights with the wax magician about who opens the museum and the heiress wins. To celebrate her victory, she complains about Kharkov existing. The cop then leaves and the heiress prods the niece because the nerd cop likes her.

#monsterdon

what kinda building has open storm drain access anyway

#monsterdon

#GravityFalls did it better 🌲🌠⚠️

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

oh i hate her so much already

#monsterdon

Writing Tip #20: Keep the story on the interesting murderers. Not on those hapless victims.

Got it!

#Monsterdon

Guess who the killer is

#Monsterdon

he doesn't know Jack!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #WaxMuseum1976
🕯️🏛️ 🧟 🪓 🔪💀 😱

Keeping your wax museum lit with candles and gas lamps is a great idea.

"In fact, he could be ME! OR YOU, MADAM! OR THAT BOOM MIC EVEN!"

#monsterdon

Anyway the next day we are opening the wax museum; it sells lots of tickets because there was a murder there before.

The second wax magician explains all the exhibits, which are all of murderers, by describing their murders. I guess wax museums were the true crime podcasts before podcasts were invented.

#monsterdon

If you're going to include americans, include the bloody benders you cowards!

#Monsterdon #WaxMuseum1973

I see you breathing, Borgia

#monsterdon

They went hard on the blueness of bluebeards beard.
#monsterdon

Ray Milland freestyles his street poetry

#Monsterdon

"Gosh the hunchback is having such a difficult time."

Shame there's nobody standing right here not doing anything who might be able to collect tickets.

#monsterdon

"ready to slash again"

well, i assume at some point, something will happen in this movie, so it might as well be another murder.

#monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum1973

I hope we get a Werewolf Break towards the end. DO *YOU* KNOW WHO MURDERED THE OLD MAN??? #Monsterdon

if this is a mystery, will we get a WEREWOLF BREAK?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🕯️🏛️ 🧟 🪓 🔪💀 😱

I didn't make any of the bad figures. That was some other guy.

#Monsterdon

Please stop embarrassing me aunt Karen, the manager isn't here. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

@MatthewTitus88 I have some of these. They are very delightful too. #Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum 👹🍿🎥

Once again, the real monsters in #Monsterdon are humans 🤢

So far this is putting a lot of effort into explaining why Karkov is innocent, so I'm going to be annoyed if it was all an act.

#Monsterdon #WaxMuseum1973

Starring Police Inspector JRR Tolkien.

#monsterdon

Next we have a line outside the wax museum, where Kharkov scares the ladies from behind his grate. Inside, a police inspector is investigating the horrific murder of the wax magician who died 67 hours ago, and a photographer is taking pictures of the Jack the Ripper model, so we can do a foreshadowing.

Probably they're going to blame poor Kharkov because the door was locked and he lives in the basement, I think.
