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.
#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror

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

#Monsterdon

@moira @combatwombat @crowbriarhexe @RobynGoodfellow @ottaross yeah that works too, although I'd feel a little bad about making the people who aren't doing the "extra" parts of #Monsterdon do the extra work

But I am happy to roll with anything we can come to a consensus on

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon girlfriends! 👭

Wilbur is not the most sinister name

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Predatory finger tenting

#Monsterdon

Did they film this in Roger Corman's prop warehouse

@MatthewTitus88 @klu9

#Monsterdon

His grandpa is a white guy that thinks he's Fred Sanford which tracks with him being a white guy that thinks he's Richard Ayoade

#Monsterdon

Ya dummy!

#Monsterdon

After knocking over the fish head statue, a large-haired man appears out of the ether and scares the blonde girl (who I have learned is named "Nancy", I learn names very slowly during movies), then tells her that he wants to talk to her. Then Mr. Mustache ("Wilbur") shoes her away, brings her the drugged tea and tells her to finish it and also it was no big deal that she heard strange wind sounds and also knocked his magic crystal over.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Finally caught up with everyone eighteen minutes later... God I really loathe in a humongous way everything #Samsung makes. AWFUL.

@klu9 Just drive!

#Monsterdon

This is why we have kettles on our island....

#Monsterdon

It's a British Leyland car, he doesn't need to do anything to it to make it stop working EDIT: it's an Alpine, not a Triumph

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

#Monsterdon

Just one year before the anti-war riots reached Miskatonic University. Some of the Massachusetts National Guard fired on the students, and the survivors turned the Guard into nameless, inchoate, horrors.

#Monsterdon

Launching my #monsterdon thread for "The Dunwich Horror (1970)", a movie based on a book by H.P. Lovecraft, Mister Cthulu himself.

Monsterdon is a thing where we watch an old monster movie live every week and make fun of it, mute the hash tag to avoid thousands of posts about it.

Dunwich Horror, or, as I'm going to call it "The Birth of Ziggy"

#monsterdon

Animation with the credits is neat.

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Ed "HIS NAME'S NOT JUNIOR" Begley

#monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

She's clearly having a prescient dream about the year 2026

#monsterdon

@fiend_unpleasant Nobody at this event is mature

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Prescient horror opening, showing the Capitol building. #monsterdon

Birb?

GO GO GO GO!!!!

@Lazarou hanging on the tenuous threads of the plot, Mogyar learned italian because he was aiming for naples #monsterdon

Can't believe the Tyre King is gone, will Earth ever be the same again?

#Monsterdon

But why Italian though? Did the director just have a cringe Italian voice he wanted to try?

#Monsterdon

Oh, are we doing the X-Files again?

Government agents again is it?

#Monsterdon

Try reversing the polarity of Jeffries Tubes

#Monsterdon

90s blonde curtain hair

#Monsterdon

"Earth, the warm planet"

sadly, yes....

#Monsterdon

and the ancient space monster fucked off into the librarian’s womb THE END #Monsterdon

Wow that was the longest film I think I ever saw

This is what you get when you vote for this kind of thing #Monsterdon

Thanks @Taweret for hosting!

I know it's not your fault

The ending was kinda random, but really not a terrible movie all told.

Thanks for organizing @Taweret !

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Just don't give the kid any eldritch books

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Kinda ends the same way as "2001 a Space Odyssey"

#monsterdon

Aaaaaaaand that's all he wrote, folks! Hope you're still awake.

Please thank your gracious host @Taweret on the way out of the cinema, and if you are staying for @ryan 's double feature, have a blast!

See you next week.... for another bad film!

#monsterdon

It's all over now.

But Roger wants to know if you'd like a small part in Carnosaur

#Monsterdon

so after all that slog, yog sothoth finally showed up and it was quite lame and pointless

ty for joining, everyone!

#monsterdon

what a thrilling magick battle 🙄

#monsterdon

"It's all over now, Nancy. By the way, do you know anything about being a receptionist for a country doctor?"

#monsterdon

This is a strange rap/pronunciation battle #monsterdon

That's it?

THAT was the monster?

#Monsterdon

Okay, I did like those two (2) frames of tentacle-headed monster from outer space

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Now This is acting!

this is like Harry Potter
#Monsterdon

A wizard fight was attempted

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

If this where made 25 years later we could've gotten a great 90s CGI monster. #monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970 #DeepRising1998

Me, right now

#monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

#monsterdon EIEIO! And the farmer in the dell, eee iii oohhh merry ohhh, the farmer is IN THE DELL!

Space Black did a pretty accurate presentation of The Dunwich Horror on YT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3Od07AwtZA&t=4s #monsterdon

kya! kya! kyaaaaaaaaaa (・ω<)☆

#monsterdon

Gang, you do NOT have a lot of time to wrap up this story. Can we have a plot point in here? Throw me a frickin bone.

#monsterdon

After acquiring the doctor and the professor, the angry mob drives to the burning house and then hears the color filter monster making gargling noises as it burbles across the countryside. They conclude it is going to the secret sex temple, where Nancy is currently moaning as Wilbur sets a giant book on her crotch.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Killed by a CPAP mask. What a way to go.

Splitting up is ALWAYS the right move in any horror movie.

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

#monsterdon I thought "These days the Devil's Hopyard would be the name of a brewery with some super bitter IPA's" and sure enough... #dunwichHorror

"How will we know when someone finds the Elder God?"

"The screaming."

#Monsterdon

Okay, that wind effect was actually very cool.

#Monsterdon

"Solaralization catastrophe in Dunwich, should we use an airstrike to contain?" #Monsterdon

The Gang Inspire Mob Violence
#Monsterdon

Come on you cowards, show us your rubber tentacle monster, not this negative flash crap. #monsterdon

#monsterdon If God had intended you to drive… he would have given you... LOL.

@davesdogmaggie hungry grab... #Monsterdon

Yog-Sothoth waits for Wilbur to align all the chevrons

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Not sure Lucille Ball would be my go-to in a crisis #Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Turns out the animals get a little on edge when a portal to Hell opens up in the barn #Monsterdon

#monsterdon A one-ringy-dingy, a two-ringy-dingy.

Shoot, I’m an idiot; I thought Dunwich was the fishpeople story.
#Monsterdon

Nothing better fucking happen to Rusty... #monsterdon

I think you'll need a bigger gun if that's Wilbur's brother

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

yeah the hand thing looks more silly than creepy or whatever its supposed to be

#Monsterdon

Fire

#monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

@trixter They wanted him to twirl a switchblade there, but Dead kept cutting himself so they just handed him a bowie knife instead.
#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror

Pornstache was never instructed in cutlery beyond the knife.
