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!"
The soundtrack kinda makes me feel like Relm is gonna show up sometimes
@moira I think it was "Dr. MΓΌtterβs Marvels" by Cristin OβKeefe Aptowicz
You had ONE JOB! The other booster.
that giant oak(ish) box with the glass apparatus sure looks light, they could have at least pretended to act
Oh, sealed letter. I remeber when we used it on mail, real mail

βIf I tell you, you must promise to forget everything Iβve saidβ π #Monsterdon
IS it going to be all right? That was a lot of time having your brain cooked. :/
Honestly I would have hired some strong workmen to carry that thing down the stairs
I'm beginning to think Sir Hugo's planning skills are on a par with Elon Musk's #monsterdon
don't drop the box
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!
βYouβre not telling me the truthβ¦β #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
father what smells like burnt failure?
#monsterdon
Did he just ask "are there enough death crystals?"
I guess we know where Stephen King got his Green Mile idea from now
so now he gets to attempt to inhume himself, to test his newfound immortality?
well that was disturbing
#monsterdon
It's an asphyx prison and a bong in one #monsterdon
You know you could move the coffin thing...right?
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.
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!"
Asphyx wavin its hands in the air like it just don't care
lol, i mean, i was kidding. lololol
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 bet she can't wait to marry that guy now
*slip* oops, sorry!
Don't trust Giles, Christina, he slapped you #monsterdon
What a horrible, disfiguring ... sunburn
#Monsterdonπ§π‘π€΅ββοΈ π π» π§΄ π±
that was a slap, not a punch, dangit
What made him think an asphyx could be contained?
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. π€
I keep getting distracted imagining him painting that silly filigree on the light casing.
Damn it, Christina's found out. They were trying so hard to keep it from her.
Christina, you're going to have to put dad outside where you put the guinea pig #monsterdon
Okay this movie actually got minorly exciting
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!
I love you, guinea pig.
When you account for the widest possible margin of error, nature just makes a bigger error
Thank dog that asphyx case is soundproofed. Sheesh.
He could stop electrocuting himself at any time, so now we know he's just enjoying it.
This guy is the Forrest Gump of capital punishment devices.
This is a strange Two-Face origin story.
Inside our souls are all screaming like angry guinea pigs: this tracks
This movie really feels like a Twilight Zone episode stretch to technically movie length. We do get alot of those on Monsterdon.
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx
No, you turn YOUR box towards the Asphyx!
Is that a portrait of Emily BrontΓ« hanging over their fireplace?
A form of Asphyxted suicide.
"So it's like D&D liches and ghostbusters and there's death muppets, but in Victorian times...and there's an immortal guinea pig"
Me, trying to explain this in an elevator pitch
Anyone else having trouble with @miru 's stream? It has crashed a whole bunch of times for me tonight. Is it something on my end?
you owe me, now murder me!
#monsterdon
@nev @nazokiyoubinbou that makes more sense but i like to imagine it just sorta bumping against the door like "what the hell" #monsterdon
The REAL Asphyxers
My face! My face!
@moira that was my reaction! twice-wronged piggy!
TIL Victorians did animal cruelty just for kicks #Monsterdon
I wish I had a Giles
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx guinea pig friend co-sleep!
Man wouldn't it suck if all they actually were capturing was plasmafied methane leaving the body? π€ π
#monsterdon #theAsphex
Alas without captions tonight's #Monsterdon is no go for me.
@ranjit maybe that's the sequel?
Giles: βI guess Iβm the ass-fixer, nowβ
If the experiment fails and he just...dies, is the movie finally over?
this guy had this chair rigged up unusually fast,,, i think there are some other things he is hiding from his girlfriend :neocatGooglyWoozy:β
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon was that Asphyx juice that Hugo got on his face?
"I'm sure this won't do anything to my brain, just ask Bender!"
"I saw what you did to the guinnea pig. You sure you want me to strap you in an electric chair?" #monsterdon
#Monsterdonπ§π‘π€΅ββοΈ π π» π§΄ π±
I think those were safety belts
@moira it's gotta be that you actually need to be within a certain radius of your asphyx, so the guinea pig will die and then monkeys paw the doctor will be doomed to tote around this groovy godzilla puppet box for the rest of time #monsterdon
My God, what a selfless man. He wants to be buried in the earth so as to feed the...*gasp* #Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972
@blue It IS immortal, but she doesn't know that, so...
I still canβt believe they used a guinea pig as a guinea pig.
#Monsterdon seeing the Asphyx up close once was more than enough
Definitely the most humane way to set a gunea pig free is to just open the door on a cold windy day and dump it onto the street. You know it's going to have a wonderful life now.
I missed the scene where they decided that the name of the soul ghost death muppet would be The Asphyx. Or did that scene just not happen?
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx
#Monsterdonπ§π‘π€΅ββοΈ π π» π§΄ π±
no no no don't just put the immortal guinea pig outdoors! He's not adapted to this climate or ecosystem!
half of a movie and we just have some bad fx of some light screaming demon.
This is a sloooooow one.
#monsterdon
#theasphyx
Contain your own ass-fix, dude
Oh dear mad doctor, if you're being electrocuted, how are you going to control your hand to control the voltage?
#monsterdon #theAsphex
wait, are there still like 30 minutes left in this movie???
Even with all I know about the ills of the VIctorian era, there's an itch scratched by this filmβ¦. Maybe because I wish social signalling were more set-down and explicitβ¦.
Bracing for more asphyx shrieking #monsterdon
