#monsterdon My work isn't pointless! I'm going to kill you next! FEED ME MORE CAST! I NEED TO STROKE THE FETISH! (bring the coffee)
@hollie Maybe his soul didn't have time to dink around. I hear it's cold in England. #Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx "hey you wanna hang out?"
#Monsterdon unexpectedly non-sinister music for the first mention of The Asphyx
The tragedy is that now we won't get to see the son and daughter exchange catty comments about the estate passing to the new wife #monsterdon
"A public execution?! What an opportunity!"
ah yep we are definitely all playing on the same bingo card
so photographing a dead body is kosher, but filming a hanging is somehow a step too far? le sigh.
@amyfou look we only care about PEOPLE dying
okay I feel bad for having typed that but I am still hitting send
#monsterdon Weβve got the title of the film. Titular! TIT.. ular. ;)
Wow, that spider had a lot of blood in it.
βStop what youβre doing, nowβ #Monsterdon
I'ma try this approach to my next Institutional Review Board feedback of my experiments.
βThe Greeks called it β¦the Asphyxβ
*flute soloist plays Theme from The Asphyx*
this father makes Frankenstein look positively compelling #monsterdon
Big Tom Wilkinson energy from our main character

hey didn't the chick die too?
time for a good old fashioned grave robbing #theasphyx #monsterdon
"You invoke your son's grief to justify a series of pointless..."
scripts, scenes, lines, acting careers? What was he going to say?
A bonk so good they showed it twice
Why did we start playing sexy smooth jazz when describing the Asphyx?
begin ancient Greek flute #monsterdon
anyone considered flying insect?
no?
cool
#monsterdon
Oh, and in case folks are wondering, there's two versions of this. The UK release was 86 minutes, while the US extended cut is 98 minutes.
So some comments are going to be off depending on which one someone's watching.
@Terencio did you find it
damn bro you got all that from a smudge #monsterdon

I just don't believe that victorian waistcoats always had contrasting bias tape on the lapels.
@davesdogmaggie Poor guy... he's got to work to keep it together. #Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972
When the mad scientist begs you to help him with his corpse-related project, you say YES!
Spirit photography the motion picture. Are the Smudges just black orbs? The Smugde would be a silly movie title, HOWEVER The Assfix isn't exactly the best title either.
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx
How, how he got that close with that camera?
#monsterdon
#theasphyx
Look the movie isn't BAD but it certainly is BORING
#monsterdon #TheAsphyx
Why this music #monsterdon #theasphyx
the ASSPHYX is IN
Monster named!
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx spiders georg wtf
Apparently the historical camera has the ability to do jump cuts.
It's 1890s bob dylan #monsterdon #theasphyx
if only this movie had been absorbed and disappeared.
DUIs in the 1850s. π
Looks like the soul deserts a sinking ship well before death
Very convenient, this House of Usher style crypt #Monsterdon #TheAsphyx
Oh is that an Eratigeβoh he killed it.
Great spider drop! #Monsterdon
#monsterdon record scratch, hey that's the name of the show
Wow this does feel like a Monty Python sketch that has gone on too long, or what happens before a sketch starts. Just the preamble to peak silliness.
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx
@strangefour Using glass plates!
Clive: "hehehe hey dad watch this!" *bonk*
*ghost voice* Did you get it?! did you get the shot!?.... Dad?! Hello?! aw bollocks. #monsterdon
-_- death mask emoji
The colour lighting in this scene is honestly quite good - and rather difficult to do in this era
Most unsurprising reveal ever about to happen, though I realize you're all about 2 minutes ahead of me somehow. I think it's because I reversed to see if he'd promised to capture a ghost and hold it indefinitely like Egon Spangler.
"The smudge!"
"What is it? It moved!"
The close up of the guy banging his head on the branch is just muah #monsterdon #theasphyx
Who looks at the video of their daughter in law dying? Gah this guy is gruesome.
ok is nobody among these men of science going to comment on the CAMERA CHANGE #monsterdon
I'm no fillum expert but I'm pretty sure you shouldn't just put your manky fingers all over the glass plates. Weak society doesn't know how to handle their cinema cameras nor take a smol whack in the head.
Smudge incoming.
#Monsterdon
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx "we must see the film now; if we overnight it we can make britain's funniest home movies"
"You saw for yourself a crash zoom I could never do with this camera"
smell an alligator's breath
steal a bucketload of meth
say the name of the play "macbeth"
make a vine with the guy who photographs death
dumb ways to die
so many dumb ways to die
If the man didn't survive certainly the lady couldn't have lets not waste our time call off the search #Monsterdon
Love the zoom on that old timey camera. Enhance!!
#monsterdon
you shall die in one fortnight
colour grading?
why though?
#monsterdon
time to """find""" someone about to die, methinks (^___^)
Boating accident at very slow speed and a branch is the number one killer of rich Englishmen
#monsterdon
@jonny And falling into water that looked like it was maybe 5 feet deep at most.
Two birds with one branch!
@jonny uh pretty much all we know is that they take pictures of people dying and so far as we know these deaths are not uh caused by the death photographer people
Apparently the extra clips inserted into this "extended edition" mean that y'all are spoiling everything for me by about 90 seconds
#monsterdon Your breeches are stained and your dickies are FILTHY. Your ascot is absolutely owned, boy!
The volume dynamics of this movie are killing me. Maybe it's just because I have shit speakers, but damn the siren and the shouting is too much.
I've already forgotten who these people are and what their relationship is to the others.
Too many characters, and you started the killing too quickly.
welp that film's exposed now. nice work, dude. #monsterdon
I mean, it seems like she could have just stood up?
Heads were thinner back then. Like eggshells.
Wait I think this film camera is anachronistic. The invention of moving pictures! Genius!
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx
imagine going to all the other rapids riders in heaven and admitting you died on a 0.1
black as night in more ways than one #monsterdon
#monsterdon Yup! Belly-based mans laughter. And there goes the damn canoe.
lmao Clyve you're absolutely useless #monsterdon
Someone's gonna die
They didn't tie the boat up?!
#Monsterdon
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx oh look part 1 of my prediction has come true
Quick! Branch! Jump up to hit it!
I just keep thinking of all the physiognomists and phrenologists of the 19th century -- so dull #monsterdon
How amusing o have such a happy chit chat in the catacombs room.
#monsterdon
#theasphyx
@Newpa_Hasai so I've been told!
i think she just caused him to be hit by that branch by trying to warn him of that branch. murderer.
