Still on the edge of my seat, did Nancy ever get her distributor wire back?

#Monsterdon

Ok, time to bail on this nonsense....

#Monsterdon

"coming through the crypto now"

remember when that word didn't mean a complete fucking scam?

#Monsterdon

lol, the Godzilla movie was just as shit but in different ways

#Monsterdon

Why is the sea monster in the desert?

#Monsterdon

@diazona it's got Italian hand gestures.... #Monsterdon

@Crazypedia Star Odyssey Prequel #Monsterdon

Hairy Biker Doctor XenoArchaeologist

#Monsterdon

@Crazypedia was Mark Hamill in it? #Monsterdon

I use the same sequence to REISUB my machines #monsterdon

Wait, Humanity is out in the stars now?

The Galaxy's true monster is out!

#Monsterdon

I award The Dunwich Horror 4 out of 5 gratuitous color filters. It kept me engaged the whole way through. The villain's main crime was being a creep. Here are the pros and cons:

PROS
soundtrack
interesting cult locations
used many colors
the writers enjoyed their LSD
horny

CONS
wait why did the things just happen
used many colors
the writers enjoyed their LSD
horny

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon "ok we're done now"

@CactuarJoe we certainly have had some abusive movies this year. (-_-)

#monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

There are movies that rush and movies that take their time, and then there are movies like this, that take ten Xanax, make wooshing noises into the microphone, and call it quits.
#Monsterdon

@yatsu I suppose a movie that wastes your time is better than a movie that actively abuses it 🤔 #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe it can't be that bad, hardly anything actually happened in it.

#monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Superimposed fetus is the new “THE END?”.

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Wait that’s actually Sandra Dee?? I thought people were joking!
#Monsterdon

@gblues ...and so it was foretold #Monsterdon

Honestly, pretty decent movie. Okay, Corman usually delivers on movies that aren't high art but are good popcorn flicks.

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Thanks for a funtastic time with 70s fashions, library stuff 🎉🥳🎉 and snarking galore during #Monsterdon, @Taweret and alla youse peeps! #TheDunwichHorror1970 🦑🦑🦑

And as the demon sets slowly in the west we take a moment to consider

Was THE DUNWICH HORROR (1970) the WORST #Monsterdon movie of the year?

#Monsterdon flashy monster!

@diazona to be extra climactic, the soundtrack is doing a techno-orientalist cover of itself

#monsterdon

Tentacle monster!

oh it's gone

I wanted the Old Ones to win

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Laughing hard at the placement of the book

I guess the monster is so unbelievably horrifying they couldn't conscionably show it on film

#Monsterdon

Rodger Corman was the progenitor of "Don't show the monster", today a popular position in horror movie projects (mostly because...he couldn't afford to.)

#monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

"Bill Nighy! Bill Nighy!"

#Monsterdon

yayy! fuck the townspeople! Drink their screams!

#Monsterdon

He got killed by one of those color wheels what we done used to point at the aluminum Christmas tree

#Monsterdon

I once saw a little indie horror movie where you never see the "monster", only ever its POV, which was very well done. This is not that movie

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Ah yes. The well known book kink...

#monsterdon Spread out, if you hear your voice calling to you from the woods, go towards it, it wants to play hide and seek with you.

Another lady is attacked by a color filter when driving and crashes and then wanders off so she can be attacked by the color filter again.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon It's not the old ones, it's a CPAP mask that isn't strapped on properly and it's set for “YOU GONNA BREATHE BOY OR ELSE” mode

Check the upstairs room! There's fried calamari for anyone who wants it!

#monsterdon #tentacles

#monsterdon Uncle Henry! There's a fire in the barn!

So, real talk.

#Monsterdon

thats why you never snack and drive!

#Monsterdon

@moira I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt as to his monotone delivery 🤷🏻‍♀️ but you're just saying he sucked 🤣 #Monsterdon 🦑 #TheDunwichHorror1970

how is he simultaneously going to let the old ones through and *not* responsible for letting the old ones through?

is this the Dunwitch Horror? words losing all meaning?

#monsterdon

gate might have been easier to open if you'd maintain the dang hinges

#monsterdon

please no extended licking
#Monsterdon

You've reaached the Old Ones support center, all our representives are busy doing unspeakable acts. #Monsterdon

Gotta hand it to him, Dean Stockwell is being VERY VERY creepy. But I bet he'd be fine in person.

#monsterdon

After a long and winding ritual scene with lots of dagger twirling, chanting and invocations to darkness, the tentacle monster in the attic bursts out of its door, starts a house fire and then inflicts more color filters on this movie.

#monsterdon

don't harm rusty

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👶 🧑‍🔬 🧑‍🔬🤰👹🫨🏃😱

also COWS and DOGGO

So can the old ones only be summoned via Nancy or will any girl work?

#monsterdon

@TerryHancock pretty sure the Sea Devils are in Shadow Over Insmoth.

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

#monsterdon Seems kind of silly to lock up the very thing you want to summon... just... let it out, like the dogs. "Who let the old ones out?" It's almost catchy, like a rap song.

Yog-Sothoth sounds like a yogurt brand to me

#Monsterdon

I'm finding this horror movie interesting but not particularly scary.

#monsterdon

Nancy is _thoroughly_ incensed.

Yeah, like that.

#monsterdon

come back, old ones

please return my calls

#monsterdon

Can we watch Army of Darkness

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon "I almost have a book that is overdue! Summon the Librarian! I MUST PAY MY FINE!”

After the funeral fails due to religion, Wilbur goes to the library to steal the Necronomicon and then gets punched out by a library cop. Then while the cop goes to make a phone call he finds a pike and stabs the library cop.

#monsterdon

@TerryHancock Darwinism FTW! #Monsterdon 🦑 #TheDunwichHorror1970

In the inevitable battle between the Christian God and the Mysterious Tentacle Monsters from Space I'm siding with the Mysterious Tentacle Monsters from Space.

#monsterdon

I can’t get over how calm this whole movie has been. Is it the absence of mood music? Or just how every character seems to be on heavy tranquilizers?

Do horse tranqs even work on fish? Or just seahorses?
#Monsterdon

No, it'll be faster if I meet you there. Let me get through this episode of Quincy and finish my tea.

#Monsterdon

Darwinism came for the security guard #Monsterdon 🦑 #TheDunwichHorror1970

lol, literally runs into the pike...

#Monsterdon

In the original story Wilbur is largely partially thwarted in his book heist by a guard dog. Who wrecks his shit.
I guess a rentacop is equal to a dog.
#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror

@amyfou good point
#Monsterdon

Nancy is very much drugged for months at this point, isn't she?

#monsterdon

Wilbur and Nancy come back from the ancient sex temple and Grandfather appears and they both learn Elizabeth appears. Then Wilbur says "I will bring the Old Ones Back!" and Grandfather says "No, I will stop you!" then he falls down the stairs and dies. We hear some birds and Wilbur explains they were trying to eat his soul but escaped and so he gives his grandpa a secret cult funeral.

#monsterdon

Townfolk might be racist against... mustaches?
#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror

#monsterdon Townies. The Townies are here. Oh good, we're safe.

I'm sorry Nancy, The Birds is A DIFFERENT FILM

#monsterdon

🎵 "The Old Ones Are Coming Back!" 🎵

This grandpa likes to throw his weight around but he never shows up for staff meetings 🧙‍♂️

"Be a shame to see her go, but I don't make the rules." #monsterdon

she’s just having a flashback to librarian school #Monsterdon

oh, it's just where they kept Dunwich's entire bat population.

#monsterdon

We have achieved tentacles.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon He has one of those old timey heiroglyphic “STOP" and “SLOW" signs, he's just going to help moderate traffic while the road crew finishes paving.

ELIZABETH

A SECOND NAME APPEARS

#monsterdon

Is it wrong to covet Elizabeth's khaki peacoat? #Monsterdon 🦑 #TheDunwichHorror1970

An owl is not a whipoorwill

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

#monsterdon The owls are not what they seem. They're Bob Fosse JAZZ HANDS!

Cthulhu is summoned by a cliwn face drawn on Dean Stockwell abdomen?!? #Monsterdon 🦑 #TheDunwichHorror1970

tattoo reveal!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦑 #TheDunwichHorror1970 Sandra Dee body double alert!

It's not the scum bag character for Dean Stockwell I'm having a hard time with. It's the hairdo and mustache. #monsterdon

I like that effect, projection of film on a muslin sheet. Cheap filter, I think I've seen it before in Corman stuff.

#monsterdon

should have been a Stargate though...

..did they ever fight Cthulhu in that show?

#Monsterdon

Why would you even need a bedframe in a padded cell? Just sleep on the floor, lol
#Monsterdon

@paco 😂

that's going in my work Slack when I get back in this week (we have a whole series of "old man yells at" emojis)

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Endless cups of bad tea. Wilbur’s father must be an English. #monsterdon

Like if I find out I have Necronomicon problems I'd like to discuss it with my doctor

#Monsterdon

Where do you find a chatty, pipe-smoking doctor like we always see in Monsterdon films

#Monsterdon

Doctor of Philosophy. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Yay for foreshadowing... and very flat affect.

Asking antiquarians about old books! Looking up genealogies! This is the most Lovecraft scene put on film.

See folks, this is why you should support your local newspaper...
