For all the 1970s of his hairstyle, at least they shaved off his mutton chops.

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

giles flipped to team immortality for basically no reason and the movie is way worse for it #monsterdon

@amyfou Since they're already (adoptive) siblings, you'd think that ship had sailed, but no.

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Nothing can contain that Asphyx

(wolf whistle)

#Monsterdon

"If I tell you, you must promise to forget everything I've said."

And you call yourself a (mad) scientist.

#Monsterdon

The Death Muppet Containment Unit looks awfully fragile to trust with your eternal life #Monsterdon

He sure snaps at her a lot for a fiancee

#monsterdon

That. Mauve. Dress!!!

I’m telling you. Stellar costuming choice

#Monsterdon

@ramsey 😆

#Monsterdon 👻 #TheAsphyx1972

@wohali lol tbf I'm wearing headphones #monsterdon

#Monsterdon🧐🏡🤵‍♂️ 💀 👻 🧴 😱

Christina should *definitely* be lying to Giles.

A lock wich is impenetrable.
A combination lock?
Exactly!

Call the lock pick lawyer!

#monsterdon

@Violinknitter

Like the passive-aggressive insult to a director that "the cinematography was great."

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Will immortal also mean unaging?

#monsterdon

I'll just keep doing Victorian ghostbuster metaphors until they stop working.

#Monsterdon

Hey I have a brilliant idea. Let me tempt Death

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #theAsphex

C'mon, time for dinner. A little turkey, a little gravy, a little arsenic and a blue spotlight. And a floor show! #Monsterdon

This approach to immortality can sort of exist via science but god and religion are also real feels very 19th century.

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972

did the woman who drowned serve any plot function #monsterdon

He splashed out on the Asphyx Suite, with a martini freshly prepared on top.

#monsterdon

so if they used this method to preserve some algae

would it be

a lich-en

:D ? #monsterdon

caution lady, is the killer guinea pig!
#monsterdon #theasphyx

The undead guinea pig likes her back; it found its way to her bed.

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972

i think i saw this part in the green mile
#theasphyx #monsterdon

But if "even death may die", then does death have an assphix as well?

#monsterdon

"Then....whatever happens....he cannot die"

<nods>
"Hold my beer"

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Y’all keep talking about how boring the movie is, but these sets are so visually interesting! And the costumes aren’t bad either

#Monsterdon

@nev the plan seems to be pretty intrinsically rely on having two helpers a few times, thank god the daughter broke in #monsterdon

He turns the lock, loudly whispering the combination, so that Christina can hear him.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

That was the most unemotional "Father" I've ever heard. You'd think there'd be a little relief.

even my cat's bored #monsterdon

Victorian Slimer contained.

Now what?

#Monsterdon 👻 #TheAsphyx1972

sometimes dead is better... #monsterdon

@Taweret
Must be all the lead in the glass Victorians put that sh!t in EVERYTHING #Monsterdon

"We must cross the streams for him to survive!"

#Monsterdon

The soundtrack kinda makes me feel like Relm is gonna show up sometimes

#Monsterdon

@moira I think it was "Dr. Mütter’s Marvels" by Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz

#Monsterdon

@ryan

I've moved on to an AC/DC soundtrack for that Maximum Overdrive effect

Now playing: "Big Balls"

#Monsterdon

You had ONE JOB! The other booster.

#Monsterdon

that giant oak(ish) box with the glass apparatus sure looks light, they could have at least pretended to act

#monsterdon

Oh, sealed letter. I remeber when we used it on mail, real mail
#monsterdon
#theasphyx

“If I tell you, you must promise to forget everything I’ve said” 🙄 #Monsterdon

IS it going to be all right? That was a lot of time having your brain cooked. :/

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Honestly I would have hired some strong workmen to carry that thing down the stairs

#Monsterdon

I'm beginning to think Sir Hugo's planning skills are on a par with Elon Musk's #monsterdon

don't drop the box

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Behold, Ulric von Lich-enstien #monsterdon

I have no clue what he's trying to do. Did it work? #monsterdon

He sure sealed the hell out of that letter, by gum!

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972

The Asphyx-iation begins!

Screaming death muppet ghostbusting containment begins....

#Monsterdon

“You’re not telling me the truth…” #Monsterdon

@Taweret they haven't even tried talking to them or even really look at them much after they capture it #monsterdon

At this point, I stopped caring about the experiment.
#Monsterdon

Did he just ask "are there enough death crystals?"

#Monsterdon

father what smells like burnt failure?
#monsterdon

I guess we know where Stephen King got his Green Mile idea from now

#monsterdon

so now he gets to attempt to inhume himself, to test his newfound immortality?

#monsterdon

well that was disturbing
#monsterdon

#monsterdon

She quickly adapted to the situation where someone photographs a man getting electrocuted. Maybe this is a sociology experiment.

...So nobody needs to replace the water in that bulb or anything? #Monsterdon

It's an asphyx prison and a bong in one #monsterdon

You know you could move the coffin thing...right?

#monsterdon #theasphyx

#Monsterdon

Wait, isn't this how The Flash got his speed back?

@moira It wasn't good at this point in time, but this history of plastic surgery starts around now (movie timeline). It's pretty fascinating, the original impetus was "middle class" victorian women who had to wear elaborate dresses but no longer had the big house staff (see: the rise of the middle class) and would light themselves on fire while doing things like cooking. I'm trying to remember the name of the interesting & gross book I read about this.

#Monsterdon

don't drop death! #monsterdon

The daughter just plain opens her father's bedroom door in the night. What if he and Giles had been going at it in there?

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

pretty cute to make the human-size asphyx jail shaped like a coffin #monsterdon

How many frames of death muppet did they film? Other than "not enough".
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

"Sorry 'bout all the brain damage, dad. But I've definitely got it!"

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Asphyx wavin its hands in the air like it just don't care

#Monsterdon

lol, i mean, i was kidding. lololol

#monsterdon

move the god damn box closer the asphyx always shows up sorta to the side of you, you could just spawn it directly in the box #monsterdon

I would have done the death experiment when my daughter was away
#monsterdon

"I've got to absorb your beam into mine!"

#monsterdon

I bet she can't wait to marry that guy now

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

*slip* oops, sorry!

#monsterdon

Don't trust Giles, Christina, he slapped you #monsterdon

What a horrible, disfiguring ... sunburn

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon🧐🏡🤵‍♂️ 💀 👻 🧴 😱

that was a slap, not a punch, dangit

What made him think an asphyx could be contained?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

So, i wonder what he's gonna do with this new-found immortality?

This explanation from God seems very convenient, almost like He doesn't care. 🤔

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

One day I will explain.

Serously, dude's got a lot of 'splainin to do.

#monsterdon

this is a kink now, right?
#monsterdon

"You're very quiet, Giles."

"Just making sure I kill you correctly."

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

I keep getting distracted imagining him painting that silly filigree on the light casing.

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972

Damn it, Christina's found out. They were trying so hard to keep it from her.

#Monsterdon

Okay this movie actually got minorly exciting

#Monsterdon

Christina, you're going to have to put dad outside where you put the guinea pig #monsterdon

Wait... Is the Asphyx noise the sound of R2D2 getting shocked and flying across a room?
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Fuck, guess not. Well, lye-face man gets a screaming death muppet I guess. They produced an electric chair pretty fast though!

#monsterdon

I love you, guinea pig.

#Monsterdon

When you account for the widest possible margin of error, nature just makes a bigger error

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Thank dog that asphyx case is soundproofed. Sheesh.

#monsterdon

He could stop electrocuting himself at any time, so now we know he's just enjoying it.

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

This guy is the Forrest Gump of capital punishment devices.

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

This is a strange Two-Face origin story.

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Inside our souls are all screaming like angry guinea pigs: this tracks

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

This movie really feels like a Twilight Zone episode stretch to technically movie length. We do get alot of those on Monsterdon.
