A bonk so good they showed it twice

#Monsterdon

Casually dropping that the death was two weeks ago - let's all go to the crypt and take photos of Clive's ripening corpse!

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972

Why did we start playing sexy smooth jazz when describing the Asphyx?

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

@ricci #monsterdon

Not yet tho I'm still coughing

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.

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

@Terencio did you find it

#Monsterdon

damn bro you got all that from a smudge #monsterdon

#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!

#Monsterdon

My word father, how did you edit in that zoom shot

#Monsterdon

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

@strangefour

Well, we did briefly get the Ministry of Silly Punts

#Monsterdon

Look the movie isn't BAD but it certainly is BORING
#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

How, how he got that close with that camera?
#monsterdon
#theasphyx

Why this music #monsterdon #theasphyx

the ASSPHYX is IN

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Monster named!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx spiders georg wtf

Apparently the historical camera has the ability to do jump cuts.

#monsterdon

It's 1890s bob dylan #monsterdon #theasphyx

if only this movie had been absorbed and disappeared.

#monsterdon

DUIs in the 1850s. 😖

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Looks like the soul deserts a sinking ship well before death

#monsterdon
#Asphyx

Very convenient, this House of Usher style crypt #Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

21st century US remake with good-looking twenty-somethings pretending to be teenagers:

"Final Asphyxiation"

#monsterdon

Oh is that an Eratige—oh he killed it.

#Monsterdon

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

No smudge means his son was soulless

Or do we address that in the sequel

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

@strangefour Using glass plates!

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

#Monsterdon

Clive: "hehehe hey dad watch this!" *bonk*

*ghost voice* Did you get it?! did you get the shot!?.... Dad?! Hello?! aw bollocks. #monsterdon

Hello Sir Raleigh, I hope this correspondence finds you well. I'm writing to tell you of a death by tree branch which was, to my knowledge, most hilarious

#Monsterdon

-_- death mask emoji

#monsterdon

The colour lighting in this scene is honestly quite good - and rather difficult to do in this era

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

SUCH PATHOS

Oh, no, Clive's gone all manky, never mind.

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

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.

#Monsterdon

"The smudge!"
"What is it? It moved!"

#monsterdon

This is what scientific conferences are supposed to look like.

Who looks at the video of their daughter in law dying? Gah this guy is gruesome.

#Monsterdon

The close up of the guy banging his head on the branch is just muah #monsterdon #theasphyx

hey y'all. I was drinking something, and I started choking, and I immediately looked around for a smudge.

#monsterdon

I don't think they made it. #Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972

ok is nobody among these men of science going to comment on the CAMERA CHANGE #monsterdon

@Louisa Ahh but the leeches ate her

#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.

#monsterdon

Smudge incoming.
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx "we must see the film now; if we overnight it we can make britain's funniest home movies"

#monsterdon

To sleep, perchance to.. BONK..

"You saw for yourself a crash zoom I could never do with this camera"

#Monsterdon

@nev

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

#monsterdon

Oh no, the pictures!

“The Smudge!!”

#Monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

I think it's hilarious that when the soul departs the body it leaves "a smudge"

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

colour grading?
why though?
#monsterdon

time to """find""" someone about to die, methinks (^___^)

#monsterdon

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.

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Two birds with one branch!

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

@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

#Monsterdon

Apparently the extra clips inserted into this "extended edition" mean that y'all are spoiling everything for me by about 90 seconds

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Your breeches are stained and your dickies are FILTHY. Your ascot is absolutely owned, boy!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punt_(boat)

#Monsterdon

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.

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

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.

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

welp that film's exposed now. nice work, dude. #monsterdon

I mean, it seems like she could have just stood up?

#monsterdon

Heads were thinner back then. Like eggshells.

#monsterdon #theasphyx

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

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

black as night in more ways than one #monsterdon

#monsterdon Yup! Belly-based mans laughter. And there goes the damn canoe.

I thought this was a horror movie. Looks like the worst summer camp ever #monsterdon

lmao Clyve you're absolutely useless #monsterdon

Someone's gonna die

#Monsterdon

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!

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

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!

#monsterdon

i think she just caused him to be hit by that branch by trying to warn him of that branch. murderer.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Not going to even pull the canoe up onto the shore huh? Just watch it get loose and float downriver. No need for no steeenking canoe!

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx ok second girl, your dress is *not gorgeous* i'm sorry hon you were steered wrong

"...we had hoped for other sons."

"I'm standing right here."

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx

The servants serving hot punch to the photographer in the folly, who ifs photographing riparian entertainments
#Monsterdon

cue Yakity Sax

#monsterdon

Stop yelling at us!
#Monsterdon

I'm reminded of Suzie Eddie Izzard once jesting that English movies are just people opening and closing doors.

Whoa, weird edit jump to Victorian cuddling on the banks of the.... stream? Is that a stream?

#Monsterdon

imma film y'all paddling across the river it'll be dope

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx I love how they're making a film in the film it's very meta

i bet someone's gonna die and they're gonna see a smudge on the film before it happens

Ah, never mind. They were being filmed #Monsterdon

INCOMING TRAGEDY 1... 2...

#monsterdon #TheAsphyx

Follow me son, let's go for a walk in the crypt.

#monsterdon

It only took another day or two before he made his first porn film.
