NO! NOT THE NECRONOMICON!
You have to sneak up if you want to see the necronomicon.
You're keeping the Necromonicon in a COLLEGE LIBRARY?! Only white people. #Monsterdon
Ugh. I already hate him. #monsterdon #The DunwichHorror
Who in their right mind is touching a fuqing Necronomicron? #Monsterdon
A #monsterdon with an artful title sequence and great music? And competent acting? I am confused.
@CactuarJoe RETURN THE BOOK BEFORE DAWN
famous last words uttered to the sex that is 1970 dean stockwell with a fro
"Now if you'll take the Necronomicon and return it to the library..."
"I'll meet you for dinner!"
-- Sentences you only hear in proximity in a Lovecraft story
The latter. IIRC, Wilbur Whatley tired to get ahold of it from the Miskatonic library.
Hey take care of that Necronomicron!
@healyn That push zoom is very Lovecraftian
#monsterdon
File that under I for "i'm an idiot for filing this book in a library"
Oh, childbirth umbilical cord severing silhouette. π¬
while i've seen this before, i still haven't read the story it's based on
yes, the university library copy of the necronomi-WHAAAAAAAT?!
seriously this is treehouse of horror writing right here
Everybody's got a Necronomicon laying around these days. #monsterdon
#thedunwichhorror
TAKE THE *WHAT* to the library?
#Monsterdon 5 minutes in and we have the necronomicon in play
fuck yeah, pardon my french
Music director: βDo you want your horror Groovy or Extra Groovy? Because I can only do Extra Extra Groovyβ #Monsterdon
Gorgeous credits! #Monsterdon
"The Dunwich Horror was filmed before a live studio audience." #Monsterdon
I'm doing #Monsterdon again. It's The Dunwich Horror (1970) this time! If you don't want to see the toots, just mute the hashtag.
That was a cool credit animation #monsterdon
Of course I pop my head in for the first time in over a month in the middle of #monsterdon
π€·ββοΈ
Anyway⦠the horrors persist but so do I.
Still dealing with the adventures.
Ironically, Darian had no Hallarback girls
#Monsterdon πΆ π§βπ¬ π§βπ¬π€°πΉπ«¨ππ±
might that birthing scene count as 'a date ends badly' for bingo purposes
Still trying an Lovecraftian film in the 70s. Not the easiest genre to deal with. #Monsterdon
Demon baby? Demon baby.
Cool title sequence with the shadow play, Such 1970 music. #monsterdon
The soundtrack is already not good in an era of not good soundtracks
Can't wait to say stuff like, "that's very Lovecraftian" throughout this movie #monsterdon
What if Yogsothoth is just blue Satan?
The minimally animated intro is kinda cool.
#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror
i don't think that's how you're supposed to hold a knife.
I bet this sticks exactly to the original Lovecraft story. #monsterdon
#thedunwichhorror
This opening credits song is kind of a banger. I won't lie. #Monsterdon
@cocaine_owlbear No Fishpeople here. Twins. #Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970
These Saul Bass-esque opening credits (typeset in what looks awfully like Eurostile) are sick.
hell yeah end that theme on tubular bells
honestly, the animatic credits are GREAT I'd love to see this come back
I bet it'll be an improvement if we cut out every part of this movie except the credits
Nice titles, Sandy Dvore! #Monsterdon
Wait, is this the Lovecraft with the fish fuckers, or the one with the Necronomicon?
That may be the only animated umbilical cord separation in history.
The bells! My god, the bells!
booked it back from the beer store just in time for... opening credits #monsterdon
I dig both the rotoscoped animation and the Moog soundtrack. This is gonna rule!
The masses have picked a good one tonight! Little slow, but mysterious and moody. π
Back on Mastodon for the first time in ages to join #Monsterdon because it's too long since I've seen this movie and I love Dean Stockwell.
mm, tasty cutout people, nom nom nom.
Like a Jujube
I guess this was Patty and Selma's first film. Before Marge married Homer, I assume.
The last thing I saw Ed Begley in was 12 Angry Men, I need to recalibrate #monsterdon
Enjoy #monsterdon tonight folks, Iβm on Vancouver Island in B.C. and Iβm gonna watch the sunset across Saanich Inlet. There will likely be far less snark.
EAT THE BABY
This music is like a 70s TV theme song.
Featuring Sam Jaffe at an angle.

Sandra Dee trying to get out of being typecast? #monsterdon

This music is amazing

Oh hey, The Pink Panther opening credits :D #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon goth animated title sequence? hell yeah
Porn noises with zero context right off the bat
(supposed to be giving-birth noises, but let's be honest)
this bedroom may have SUFFICIENT purple, dang
Universe, I want that room.
#monsterdon I'LL HAVE WHAT SHE'S on second thought wait no
VLC peeps remember it's <some meta alt/ctrl/gr whatever that is key> and E to get to where you can reduce the saturation!

eeewww get that creepy dude outta there
Yeah, I feel like that in the morning sometimes too.
and thatβs why you donβt eat the shellfish #Monsterdon
Watching TV was different in the past.
Someone gave her a third black eye?
F. Murray Abraham? #monsterdon
Scary antiques and 70s eye makeup! #Monsterdon
Someone get that woman a birthing chair before she sprains something! #monsterdon
What the heck? Not the sounds I expected when logging on to #Monsterdon at the last moment
#monsterdon #thedunwichhorror1970
Chekov's birth scene.
Threw laundry in wash, grabbed snack, time for The Dunwich Horror (1970)! π§΅
So... a bunch of people are getting high. It was the 1970s....
Tonight's #Monsterdon looks like a mojo-filled Lovecraftian masterpiece! PLUS it has DEAN STOCKWELL in it so...groovy!
