@gblues From now on, any time I see a generic Dudley Moore, I will call him βDoodley Moore!β
#monsterdon Butler brings the Cognac! NOT THE COFFEE! That's WENCHES WORK! ;)

I feel that these men's hair is 1970s appropriate but the women's hair is period appropriate
We join this smooching already in progress.
Didn't a car crash at the beginning? Did I imagine that?
No way there wouldn't be a character named Clive in this movie
The boys and girls have the same haircuts
#Monsterdon
So this is the first of the three spirits, right #monsterdon #theasphyx
Yay, it's #monsterdon time! This week it's the awkwardly spelled The Asphyx (1972). I could have sworn Vincent Price was in this but I may have been thinking of The Tingler.
i believe you were required to pose like that when kissing in those days.
Clive and Giles.. well, we are in Victorian times..
#monsterdon Broadsheet newspaper, the iPhone of the age.
Why does the UK always seem cold as hell?
I guess the screwy perspective is because the rest of the set is just a matte painting. Yep their shadows are flat. #monsterdon
@overholt Just once I'd like to see a movie that says "based on an unoriginal screenplay by so-and-so." Just be upfront about it.
I can tell by the police siren this is Brittish. #monsterdon
Lovely set!
...See, the problem with watching movies filmed in Britain is that it's not a very big place and so you get the same houses in a lot of different productions. And when you get productions that use a lot of different houses, well...
Anyway, I should start noting how many times I see specific houses from Grenada's Sherlock Holmes. #Monsterdon
A good ol exposition conversation around the fire, among people who would definitely know all this information already
His all grey suit looks like a jumpsuit #monsterdon
There really wasn't anything but experiments in death and the afterlife or starting a candy factory for these guys.
"The RAIN in SPAIN is MAINLY on the PLAIN!!!"
This Downton Abby special seems odd.
this guy looks like a generic Doodley Moore.

#theasphyx
Clipity Clop is my favorite background noise.
#Monsterdon
She doesn't look nervous. She looks disappointed.
@Taweret ani I want to do it wearing THAT HAT #Monsterdon
Downton Abbey is different than I remember
I also keep the interior of my fireplace well lit from above so I can see my fire better.
*banging two halves of a coconut together* #Monsterdon
@Louisa The irony is the Pythons were working with much lower budgets and somehow managed to pull off masterpieces.
clop clop clop
This is way too bright for a Victorian parlor
I don't know why he's burning a giant sheriff's badge but I'm into it
@Myoldpiano Oh good, I was afraid there were more Asphyxes out there #Monsterdon
TOO LONG CARRIAGE RIDE I'M ALREADY BORED HURRY UP ALREADY
So uh which one of these people is the still alive one that got pulled from under the car
Composed by Bill McGuffie (not his real name)
The Hills are alive with the sound of cloppity clop.
Is it just me or is this also Hill House? #Monsterdon #TheAsphyx1972
See, horse & carriage. Practically Jane Austenian
#monsterdon is this the adventures of Young Willy Wonka?
while typing: Wait did he just say "Enema, darling?"
I get wanting to go back to horses after that car crash
#monsterdon
From Cars to Carriages: A Tale of Two Roberts
oh yeah, he wanted to be a Python
Remember to rate your Uber driver #monsterdon
I want to ride in a carriage through the woods
#monsterdon #theasphyx Brian Comports himself poorly here.
i hate this man already
It's nice to hear a nice orchestral opening in a movie.
And now we have Jonathan Harker on his way to visit Drβoh wait wrong movie
Who's banging two coconuts together?
When your #Monsterdon is filmed with *TODD-AO 35 technology* you know it's gonna be GREAT :ameowbongo:
Come visit scenic Bumblecrumpetfuckshire
My money is on Asphyx is Cockney rhyming slang of which nobody can understand the logical progression #monsterdon
Ohh horse and carriage. Classy.
#monsterdon #TheAsphyx
JUST HEAR THOSE SLEIGHBELLS RING A LING DI...uh... FOLEY?! FOLEY! Goddammit
They don't do the wide clippety-clop shots like they used to
Superquadraphonic Sound! #Monsterdon
#Monsterdonπ§π‘π€΅ββοΈ π π» π§΄ π±
THAT HORSIE IS PACING
The opening credits seem way too artistic, I'm a little scared that this might have shades of being a good movie
Is this the My Fair Lady set?
FYI the cut on @miru should be the same as tubiβs, which is NOT the longer βuncutβ version with scenes restored from a US print (youβll notice a difference between prints if youβre watching this cut) (thereβs also like 20 other bootleg cuts of this film floating around) #monsterdon
Ah, the precious and delicate love of one ceramic urn to another...
The title font was so groovy, what the hell is up with this terrible font for the rest of the credits?
This is the first one that has started out with the opening credits of a Hallmark movie. I'm not sure what that means.
This music seems far too happy for what I am expecting.
#Monsterdon Iβm here for the Ass Fix jokes, not the movie itself
ngl i'm really digging the lovey-dovey intro credits music
I know England loves their old real estate, but I can't help but think that a home abandoned for this long would've been bought and cleaned up eventually.
Well, it's cleaner than my house, at least.
Jesus Iβm glad EMT / first responder practices have improved since 1972 #monsterdon #asphyx
its exactly 2 minutes into the movie and im already confused
#Monsterdon #theasphyx
Seriously, this music is taking us in the wrong direction!
The Asphyx looks to be oh so much worse than I anticipated.
uhh, super quadraphonic sound. Fancy
#monsterdon #TheAsphyx
Peter Newbrook implies Peter Oldbrook
SUper-quadrophonic!!
Bond, Peter Bond
What a transition, AM I RITE?
#Monsterdon
I made it to #monsterdon though I doubt I will be up much later. Running on a bit of a sleep deficit and feels like it is catching up with me.

I may finish this one, The Asphyx, on my own later. Looks bad in many of the right ways.
The haunting love them of... The Ass Fix.
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx
*frantically checks filename* did I pick the right file?! #monsterdon
Starting strong with that crash scene.
MY GOD.
THIS MAN'S STILL ALIVE!
A Tale of Two Roberts.
Why did I think Vincent Price was in this??
Ah, home furnishings by Arachne #Monsterdon
WHAT is this music #monsterdon #theasphyx
#Monsterdon Do I have the wrong Asphyx? That scene didnβt look Victorian! π€
#Monsterdon #TheAsphyx i need to dust more
You gonna like...expand on that, movie? Describe it? Follow up? Even intone?
No.
(dammit.)
Depending on who you ask, this movie inspired Ghostbusters.
I can't find anything to back that up though.
once more with feeling old chum
#monsterdon
So I have to assume that what we are currently subjecting ourselves to is called Asphyx-iation
And now, the Vaseline Movie Hour proudly presents... #Monsterdon
