#mastoween
#monsterdon

I'm sorry, General Tarkin, no disrespect intended, but could you cite some sources?

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

You know hiding your werewolfishness among regular people had to be a lot easier in the 70s than it is now. Freakin' everybody with the hair and the sideburns, omg.

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

I'm sticking with all werewolves.

@brion For being an incredible setup, he is woefully unprepared.

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

@yatsu It's the 70's, man. Get hip!

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

Peter motherfucking Cushing!!!!!!!!

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

If "The Beast" turns out to just be a black guy, I may be done with this movie.

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

now everybody get down!

grooooooveah!

#mastoween
#monsterdon

but is he really dead?

#mastoween
#monsterdon

i need to know what brotha uses as a moisturizer. that skin is suuuuuupple.

#mastoween
#monsterdon

he aint gonna let some white guy kill him.

#mastoween
#monsterdon

WAIT! bargain bin Paul McCartney is The Beast?

so why was there blood running down the Brit chicks' mouth?

#mastoween
#monsterdon

Community spit bullet? No, thanks, I already ate. 🤮

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

"...but I was shooting at the werewolf, your Honor!" is not a great defense.

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

@CactuarJoe +bite coverage

non-negotiable

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

"Ve did not prepare for zis!"

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

"Maybe she prefers meat ... raw."

Yes, that's what she said.

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

i am loosely aware of some ppl having problems with it, but holy crap tvtropes is a truly excellent wiki this has way more information about the movie than anywhere else i found, even if it's in this pretty annoying trope format, but that seems like it is obvs probably a facilitating design element of the wiki that makes it so populated???

#monsterdon #mastoween

Total sequel setup

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

also, glad to see the Afrobrit guy hasn't died yet, LMAO

#mastoween
#monsterdon

i just logged into this movie and pretty sure i already know who the beast is.

the blood dripping from the side of the mouth was a clue, wasn't it?

#mastoween
#monsterdon

this pink panther sneaking music is a good choice for the last 7 minutes of a movie where you need to reveal a killer, really communicating climax and resolution #monsterdon #mastoween

"You couldn't have known. I mean, I'm Dracula, and I didn't know." - Peter Cushing. #monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

omg am late. dangit.
#Monsterdon

We should replace ad breaks with werewolf breaks.

#Monsterdon #Mastoween

@brion or teams of minions, yeah. He has the dough, he's just a cheap prick with OCD.

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

Stop shootin' at Ol' Yeller!

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

4th reel, almost missed it

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

"Target edging"

#Monsterdon #Mastoween

If I was a rich werewolf I would absolutely invite a bunch of people over for a party to figure out who was a werewolf. (And then eat them.) #Monsterdon #Mastoween

#monsterdon #mastoween and when the microsilver hits the microoxygen...

Grand Moff Tarkin providing an excellent analysis here.

#Monsterdon #Mastoween

#monsterdon #mastoween For the youngsters the slow winds and snare drum musical thing is usually only reserved for the most tense scenes in movies. It's an audio shibboleth for Gen-X that this is super serious stuff happening right here.

#MonsterdonAlert

ty to everyone who participated in #mastoween

next week: the Return of #Monsterdon

Thanks for hosting, @Taweret ... not the best werewolf movie, but at least it's done!

#Monsterdon #Mastoween

ok seriously the whole shtick of this movie was that there were a bunch of clues and what even were the clues i dont know #monsterdon #mastoween

that reveal is a big 🤷‍♂️ to me #monsterdon #mastoween

"The last thing to go through his mind... Other than the bullet... Was to wonder just how the hell the werewolf got the better of him." #Monsterdon #Mastoween

Now that's not how you treat your wifewolf.

Gotta show a lady care and respect. Long walks on the beach, candlelit extra-rare steak dinners, things like that.

#Monsterdon #Mastoween

Oh, the trumpets were in the werewolf. #Monsterdon #Mastoween

ok especially if it was the wife how on earth would he have gained the information that one of those people was a werewolf... like he must have been told that, but by who and like what were all the other people there for lol #monsterdon #mastoween

@plaidtron3000 That mag looks super sticky too, better clean that thing.

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

You better chamber that round dude. The gun ain't gonna do it for you and you're going to be pulling trigger repeatedly like an idiot. #monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

#monsterdon #mastoween, WOLF BREAK (for the downloaders) Also- Someone mentioned coke a bit back, in the 70's if you showed up someplace and saw this chair you were 125% going to be offered cocaine in a few minutes.

Yeah, I knew it couldn't be Bee Gees, he was way too obvious. #Monsterdon #Mastoween

i can't believe the climactic scene is a bunch of people putting a bullet in their mouth and spitting it out #monsterdon #mastoween

also star wars guy being the only one who knows how werewolves work could be lying about the silver thing so idk he definitely did it i am betting it all #monsterdon #mastoween

Okay now where's the SECOND werewolf? #Monsterdon #Mastoween

werewolf break: it's just a regular wolf and they have degraded its habitat and its acting out of desperation #monsterdon #mastoween

Anyway, I think it's the wife, but also the person she's having an affair with. #Monsterdon #Mastoween

TITLE DROOOOOOOOOP
#Monsterdon #Mastoween

The Lost BeeGee turns to the camera, "how did i get roped into this movie???" #monsterdon #mastoween

Personally I suspect Peter Cushing because being Peter Cushing is sus
#Monsterdon #Mastoween

honestly i would not have taken that 24/7 on-call helicopter contract in the first place no way that's gonna end up good for you #monsterdon #mastoween

I dunno, our protagonist only has about 20 minutes left to be likeable! You think he can pull it off? #Monsterdon #Mastoween

@yatsu and murdered his guest 🤷‍♂️

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

Oh hey, I think his wife knows who the werewolf is. Y'think she's having a were-fling? #Monsterdon #Mastoween

Once again, I am firmly on the monster's side in this movie. This rich jackass is spending like $10,000 a shot with a semiautomatic and the werewolf is literally just trying to get away from him. I hope Bezos here gets his throat ripped out. #Monsterdon #Mastoween

WHOOPS wrong photo and I am not even drinking. Sheesh. #BINGO

#Monsterdon #Mastoween #TheBeastMustDie

"Please, continue eating. I'll just be downstairs setting up my semiautomatic." #Monsterdon #Mastoween

one writer somewhere thought, what if i wrote an entire script around aggresively gripping a candlestick, and voila, The Beast Must Die. #monsterdon #mastoween

"Leave her alone you cad! You rake! You rapscallion!" #Monsterdon #Mastoween

This guy's employees need to unionize. Fifteen an hour and no werewolf duty >_> #Monsterdon #Mastoween

First victim, 49:30

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

Aw, puppy! #Monsterdon #Mastoween

@CactuarJoe WE are the victims. #monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

@CactuarJoe Oh yeah, good point, this is kind of not living up to the #Monsterdon brand

#Mastoween

3rd reel
🙄
#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

I'm going to custom order a patent leather hunting suit, complete with jodhpurs. The more shiny, creaky and impossible to move in, the better the hunt! Right, fellow kinksters?

#monsterdon #mastoween #thebeastmustdie

So, isn't it about time we had a victim? It's been almost 45 minutes. #Monsterdon #Mastoween

@Taweret

A rich guy would have people to deal with werewolves. It might be a high turnover team, but who cares? Just send the monthly reports to the Facilities Manager.

@monsterdon
#Mastoween
#Monsterdon

Sheesh. It’s all over the place. #Monsterdon #Mastoween #TheBeastMustDie #PlutoTV

"A great many men have hair on their chests"

Really? Wow, y'learn something new every day >_> #Monsterdon #Mastoween

@whknott Oh that’d be a good twist #Monsterdon #Mastoween

That was a pretty lazy axe throw right there. "Hit something if you want to, it's fine, I'm not putting my wrist into this." #Monsterdon #Mastoween

ok werewolf is an autoimmune condition sure #monsterdon #mastoween

And now the ultimate question, is the lady getting excited about this a werewolf or just a monsterfucker? #Monsterdon #Mastoween

@YsengrinWolf ok still like did he ask them all to spit in the same cup and do some DNA test or sample the wastewater in a neighborhood or like how could you know the group of people without knowing which it is as just a practical matter #monsterdon #mastoween

#monsterdon “so I suppose you’re wondering why I pulled you over”

"It's a possibility. On the sideburns alone, sir." #Monsterdon #Mastoween

come now, would a were wolf wear mutton chops like this? he might as well be holding a sign with an arrow that says, "I'm the werewolf." #monsterdon #mastoween

seriously the 'talk shit about everyone present' scene is such a gem of the whodunit genre that would also be right at home in any drag ball #monsterdon #mastoween

Ah yes, that grittiest of scenes. The garden party. #Monsterdon #Mastoween

@yatsu But no one ever asks “How wolf.”

#TheBeastMustDie #Monsterdon #mastoween

The question is not "Who wolf", but "Where wolf?"

#Monsterdon #Mastoween

the question is Were Wolf #monsterdon #mastoween

But he didn't. And he doesn't even have the excuse of being driven by werewolf bloodlust, he was driven by good ol' fashioned human bloodlust.

Like I said, I'm with the werewolf on this one. He was bland, but he was right. #Monsterdon #Mastoween

I feel like they should've just left it at "it was the wife." There's a good sense of irony there, and it sets up a theme of "bloodlust will destroy you and everything you love."

Like, if he'd decided killing a werewolf was less important to him than making the woman he loved happy, he'd still have his wife, his dog, about half a dozen party guests and an intact braincase. #Monsterdon #Mastoween

@Taweret @cheribaker

...and our crack team of #Mastoween commentators, when it comes to solving crimes, you make fantastic detectives of interior decoration flubs, fashion trends, and the wealthy lifestyle.

And that's what counts, really, in this big dystopian world where @blogdiva can sneak up on you any time you're enjoying a watch party.

Don't know about you, but I'm putting Monks Hood in my garden next year.

Good night! 2/2

THANK YOU
@Taweret - for all the work you do to bring about this exciting watch party. Do thank the team of zombies in your basement for their efforts.
#Mastoween was excellent this month!

@cheribaker - Thank you for the Bingo card. My favorite this week was "Suspiciously hairy individual"

@plaidtron3000 Considering how many shots our protagonist missed, I feel like the servants could get their back pay just by wandering around the lawn looking for loose shells. #Monsterdon #Mastoween

@funkula i didnt notice him skipping the tests bc i didnt notice him period lol. i seriously am searching around right now and the only clue ppl are mentioning is that he tried to escape and nobody else did. that is not even a clue that's just "you have to have one character try to escape to establish that you can't escape" #monsterdon #mastoween

That was fun. Thanks @Taweret for hosting!

#Monsterdon #Mastoween

#monsterdon #mastoween That ending theme rides the Wah pedal pretty hard for as short as it is

#WerewolfBreak - its 9:30pm Central Time and I finally get to the werewolf break! THEN the ad break.

I'm guessing "multiple werewolves"

#Mastoween #Monsterdon #TheBeastMustDie1974

good work as usual, team #mastoween, thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting, looking forward to going back to #monsterdon next week
