I always loved these kind of mugs.... #monsterdon

60s and 70s movies really did love to pad the runtime with musical numbers

#monsterdon

WHO WROTE THESE SONGS

#monsterdon

"Our art is free and gay" is the tagline of at least half the artists on fedi

#Monsterdon #TerrorAtTheWaxMuseum1973

This singer's Cockney accent is giving me the collywobbles.

#Monsterdon

"Our house is full and gay" Sing it sister. #Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

@floatybirb Another fine real estate driven monster movie! #Monsterdon #TerrorintheWaxMuseum

@strangefour or if the scooby gang pulls off his mask and the murderer is Miland, who says "I'd have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids."

#Monsterdon 🕯️🏛️ 🧟 🪓 🔪💀 😱
#TerrorInTheWaxMuseum1976

not another song

AND NOW

DANCERS

#monsterdon

no, Karkov, it's OK to grieve....

#monsterdon

I can't tell if this is a monster movie or a detective movie?

#MOnsterdon

it's okay, Mr. Flexner

WAX 'EM BOTH

#monsterdon

Ok, kill Julia next. Please!

#TerrorInTheWaxMuseum_1967 #monsterdon

can we put julia in an institution? perhaps she should be the next tableau.

#monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum1973

"In time they lose their shape and texture..."

Don't we all, movie.

#monsterdon

Musta been the chimney. SANTA CLAUS DID IT!

#monsterdon

Seems cold to put his murder in his own museum. Still, that's more acknowledgement than most will get from their employer after their passing...

#Monsterdon

Ironic and gauche. #monsterdon

look, noting the popularity is based on sensationalism is NOT WRONG

#monsterdon

Oooh, look at the cop using a big word like “gauche”!

#Monsterdon

Dammit, the *gags* they could have had with that on-set...

#monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum #WaxMuseum1976

your opponent is a wax dummy. you have advance notice. you have so goddamn many tactical advantages here. get yourself a damn ... wire.
#monsterdon

The aunt might seem crass and ghoulish in how mercenary she's being; but she also presumably understands how fickle and fleeting the general public's interest is and wants to make hay while the sun shines (so to speak, given the funerary rain).

No point in waiting for it to go back to a failing business that's about to get bought-out before opening the doors.

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

you don't get to quote Shakespeare for this movie, writers. >:(

#monsterdon

when all else fails, quote Shakespeare

not a bad plan.

#monsterdon

Finally, some real estate action. #monsterdon

I think she's gonna eat S-crow. #Monsterdon

Academy Award goes to…

Karkov!

#Monsterdon
#TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

@cd0 In this economy?
#monsterdon

One of those well known bright, sunny, London rainy days. #Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

very sunny rainy day

#monsterdon

Why does it always rain when you wash your car or have a funeral? #monsterdon
#TerrorAtTheWaxMuseum1973
#TerrorAtTheWaxMuseum

The obligatory funeral rain

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum #WaxMuseum1976

The inheritance is technically a real estate deal. Just saying...
#Monsterdon #TerrorAtTheWaxMuseum

Fam shoulda feared Jack, not God...

#monsterdon

THE NEW SHOWER COFFIN

#monsterdon

like its obviously ray milland tho

#monsterdon

And they sold the place and went home.

The End.

#monsterdon

Yes. Do that.

#monsterdon #terrorinthewaxmuseum

Elsa Lanchester's mob cap is the look of the summer #Monsterdon

Or maybe it was that Poppy Tea she's been drinking.

#monsterdon

@socketwench Socrates emerges from the shadows and corrupts the youth.

#Monsterdon

@jadebees And then she'd get bored of him cramping her style, and would have to do a subsequent Escape From Karkov.

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

Love the square for "French Justice Device"
#monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum1976

now museum now you don't!

#monsterdon

So, less than fun fact... in Minnesota, if the heir does not survive 3 nights past the decedents death, they aren't seen as an heir.

#Monsterdon

"At first I thought this was a pool of wax beside her prostrate body...
... but on closer inspection it is clearly bukkake."

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

Wow aunt Karen is even obnoxious while she's asleep. That's talent. #monsterdon

Ah, I see his record of effective policing remains intact.

#Monsterdon

Miss Collins, are you there? I've got a new wig on.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon “Honey, we have very weak doors”

#monsterdon #WaxMuseum1976
🕯️🏛️ 🧟 🪓 🔪💀 😱

Jack be nimble.
Jack be quick.
Jack sat on a candlestick.. oops.

And then, just like the toys in Toy Story...

#monsterdon #terrorinthewaxmuseum

SOMEBODY. PLEASE DIE.

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

La la la, here I am walking about in a thin nightgown in a murder house, doo de doo, probably gonna get stabbed, hmm hmm, whoops, my brain fell out ♫ #Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai Yes - and still used. I have an oil lamp with a metal reflector myself, as part of our emergency kit.

#monsterdon #WaxMuseum1976

#monsterdon These movies are so ripe for continuity errors.

@Terencio True but you wouldn't know it from this movie

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum #WaxMuseum1976

Lady has to sleep with a blindfold on because nobody turns of a single goddamn light in this place.

As a dad, it drives me nuts.

#monsterdon

@cocaine_owlbear I'm hoping the awful aunt/guardian swings for it. Or is wax-murdered early. #Monsterdon #TerrorintheWaxMuseum

"I think I'll wander around in the dark where my uncle was murdered."

#monsterdon
#TerrorAtTheWaxMuseum1973
#TerrorAtTheWaxMuseum

I do appreciate the period-appropriate naked-flame lighting.
It's a nice detail for '77.

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

@ohiofi LOL!! That's some good sleep. #Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum 👹🍿🎥

wow, literal "honk shoo"

#monsterdon

#monsterdon It's a lot less snoring and a lot more congestive whistling.

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum
Bluebeard killed 4 wives and was the worst? But Jack killed more...

How did people get worked up in a Wax Museum & NOT go next door for a drink? #Monsterdon

Well, I wonder if Laurie's about to die.

#monsterdon
#TerrorAtTheWaxMuseum1973
#TerrorAtTheWaxMuseum

@strangefour Well, the film is definitely a true crime. But I don't think it's a podcast. 😜
#monsterdon

"Oh, you needn't bother Ms Collins. You see, we don't treat Karkov like a prisoner or an invalid just because he grosses people like your aunt out".

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

Hawks, are you gay? That girl is throwing herself at you. #Monsterdon

"Ew you have to feed it... I mean him?" #monsterdon

@kshernandez

ABACAB? All Bobbies And Cops Are Bastards.

#Monsterdon

Someone needs to guillotine Madam Scrooge McDuck over there. #Monsterdon

Women can't be suspects. That's nonsense.
Wait is this turning into a true crime podcast?
#Monsterdon #TerrointheWaxMuesum

I don't remember how this movie ends. It's the tour guide? He did it? I think it was the tour guide. #monsterdon

the policeman's reflex, blame whoever's in the room.

#monsterdon

"Yes you are suspects, and don't call me Shirley" #Monsterdon

Ray Milland is much better here than in the frogs film #Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai
Nobody has seen them in the same place at the same time. Hmmm

#Monsterdon #TerrorAtTheWaxMuseum1973 #TerrorAtTheWaxMuseum

Is The Yard mucking up this case again?
* He says in his best fake British accent*

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum
Seems like flames in a wax museum would be problematic...

"And I was right. In fact, I'm glad he was murdered by a reanimated waxwork because it has allowed me to improve the production of this crass and ghoulish museum tour to an incalculable degree."

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

The true terror in the Wax Museum: Money

#monsterdon

is this haunted teacup actually spilling? oh wait no he didn't spill it

#monsterdon #WaxMuseum1976

@amyfou

Ah, the Robert Smith Hypothesis for Jack the Ripper's identity!

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

cinematography is really on top of the game, that angle of jack's knife was very nice, the flame giving him motion, making it look like he's about to lunge into ray milland

#monsterdon #WaxMuseum1976

I don't remember the part of "From Hell" where he was in a wax museum...

#monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum #WaxMuseum1976

HE COULD EVEN BE RAY MILLAND #Monsterdon

Oh sure they left the murder weapon in the hand of the wax statue

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum #WaxMuseum1976

That old lady is like those women who write to serial killers and fall in love with them...

"Hands off Jack!"
#Monsterdon

Huh. Bluebeard was maybe based on a real guy. I always thought he was just a fairy tale.

"He could be a man wearing too much eyeliner!"

"You see, Jack the Ripper was never caught. All the evidence kept getting used as props for waxworks instead of being forensically studied."

#Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

He could be in this very theater! SCREAM SCREAM FOR YOUR LIVES! #Monsterdon #TerrorInTheWaxMuseum

So much real fire in the museum. Seems less than wise

#Monsterdon

I like that they yelled "SHOW US THE RIPPER" like they couldn't just turn and look at it. #monsterdon
#TerrorAtTheWaxMuseum1973
#TerrorAtTheWaxMuseum

You know what would be really scary? A wax museum filled with garden gnomes
