Hm, Wilbur *does* have electricity. Probably.

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

#monsterdon Oh, it's nothing, it's just my glass fish head.

old person!!

#monsterdon

Who ever did the set dressing really want to make a Poe movie didn't they?
#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror

1. Break her car
2. Drug her
3. OLD MAN!!!

"Welcome to my swanky mansion full of knickknacks. Would you like to use the bathroom?"

#monsterdon

Kinda made how we pump flammable gas into our homes, isn't it?

#monsterdon

Ring a ding ding

#Monsterdon

Your house is a piece of shit, and I mean that as a compliment

#Monsterdon

Also at the pub, mustache man asks to borrow the Necronomicon, which he thinks is like the bible, and Professor Gene Armitage Roddenberry says that he can't loan it out because it's extremely rare and spooky, then he leaves.

Mustache man says he has to get back to Dunwich but missed his bus so he uses his mustache powers to charm the blonde girl into driving him there. They stop to get gas at an almost closed gas station and the attendant is cranky and/or scared of... something.

#monsterdon

Sad Boy Face + Pornstache = UNSTOPPABLE

@healyn

It was the 60s/70s. Everyone was a student of the occult. That's why the newspaper horoscope was so popular.

(I did actually get a Ouija board equivalent for Christmas once.)

#Monsterdon

Just wait until Wilbur starts lip-synching to "In Dreams"….

#monsterdon

Had to go digging to find my old deviant art page cause I rememebred I did make a drawing of WIlbur. And his brother. Around a decade ago. #Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror

What Wilbur Whateley looks like according to the story. #Monsterdon

Does that gas pump say "Hell"? lol #Monsterdon

Mister mustache goes to read the book aloud in the library, it's something about Yog-Sogoth and the Old Ones, which I would know more about if I read more H.P. Lovecraft, but then Professor Gene Roddenberry appears to stop him, and I learn that his real name is "Professor Armitage".

At the pub later, we learn the mustache man is a student of the occult and the grandson of some famous guy who was hung in the past, probably for witchcraft, who the Professor wrote a paper on.

#monsterdon

Oh, Wilbur's struggles with buses feel all too relatable.

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

I'm getting a sense that he wants to show her his jazz record collection. #monsterdon

The kind of villain who takes the bus to crimes.

#monsterdon

What kind of magic tome is written in English?! Latina lingua magiae est.

#Monsterdon #TheDunwitchHorror1970

"I know enough about strange things not to laugh at them" Oh brother are you in the wrong place. #monsterdon #The DunwichHorror

Oh hi there son.
I hanged your granddad

RE: https://techhub.social/@peterries/117227082614922184

Terrifying and unhuman! Non-Euclidean!

#Monsterdon

The people of Dunwich are just like everyone else. Little more scaly, perhaps. #Monsterdon

I wonder what the date stamp is on the card in the back of the “Necronomicon”

#Monsterdon DunwitchHorror1970

@crowbriarhexe @moira @RobynGoodfellow @ottaross Honestly I think it'd be less friction to go with one of the ones people are already using 🤷

#Monsterdon

Shout out to Yog Sothoth

#Monsterdon

Please do not hold your hands on the book like that.

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Giving this #monsterdon a 10/10 for its surreal silhouette introduction. The opening theme slaps.

That mustache is sentient. #monsterdon

This movie starts with a goth girl having an orgasm and/or giving birth, overseen in these labors by a hairy guy and two cranky golden girls. Then she is wrangled from the bed by the hairy dude and the intro plays.

#monsterdon

The credits animation is certainly... a choice!

#monsterdon

Wait, Dean Stockwell's in this? I didn't know that when I said bad oysters! That's from a Dean Stockwell line in Return of the Joker! #Monsterdon

Least deserved dramatic musical buildup ever

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Will there be whipoorwills when people die?

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Kids, this is why you don't get face tattoos. You end up with satanic birth. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon it begins!

@xerozohar Tonight it's gonna be Dean Mockwell

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Glad to know what dramatic music sound like! :blobcatgiggle2: #monsterdon #Kraa1998

@ottaross Dean put it back, but it's his car now. #Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

@ottaross They definitely used the car later in the movie so I guess so

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Sorry to miss out on #Monsterdon this week, hope y'all are enjoying/hating the movie

When Alien Mario's brother turns up it gets interesting....

#Monsterdon

Wait , this is just Critters

but with an Italian food monster

#Monsterdon

I don't know why we're surprised we did have that one alien from Boston

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

That was at least 500% better than "The Guyver", IMHO.

@SesameSquirrel @Taweret To be fair, Sandra's character was drugged and/or hypnotized for pretty much the entire movie. #Monsterdon

The Dunwich Horror (1970)
Aka, How It's Made: Librarians

#monsterdon

the ending really was the cthulhu version of this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkNLAUwSFGw

#monsterdon #LobbyChat #TheDunwichHorror1970

We chanted at Wilbur and he burst into flames and his daemon twin was sent back to Hell yay we win!

THE END

Uhoh looks like it was too late Wilbur's "horses" already left the stable and now DAEMON FOETUS :blobastonished:

Roger Corman is cooking in hell for defiling Sandra Dee like this so we can enjoy this hella #Monsterdon remember the sacrifice he made!

Thanks for another far out one @Taweret !

#monsterdon artist's rendering of Yog-Sogoth

@CactuarJoe @yatsu Sometimes you just want to feel something

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Thanks for a greasy, weird time, @Taweret and the #monsterdon gang. #DunwichHorror

#Monsterdon

Okay. That was actually pretty good.

The Dunwich Horror! Sandra Dee with a side of Eldritch Rings! 💍🫪💍

Thanks as always to @Taweret for leading us to this altar of comedy, and special thanks to the #Monsterdon crew for clearing the set during my nude scene.

If anyone needs me I'll be on fire and falling into the abyss. 🔥🐙

I was thinking of watching the @miru double feature but the short clip that was just shown was so terrible I changed my mind

#Monsterdon

kind of anticlimactic, despite all the moaning
#monsterdon

@berniethewordsmith wonder what the gender reveal party is like for “The Old Ones”. Probably pretty pedestrian. One tentacled creature closes its eyes and pokes a pink or blue balloon.

#Monsterdon

Look! It's your uncle Cthulu Watley.
#monsterdon

After the professor assures everyone that this is all over because the last of the spooky family is dead, we learn that Nancy is pregnant now so we could theoretically have a sequel.

Then credits roll and the movie ends.

#monsterdon

Was that a good Lovecraft adaptation?
Eh for 1970 I guess. Could have used more monster.
Was it a good movie?
Eeeeeeeh? No, maybe? Kinda? Again for 1970.
Young Dean Stockwell was entertaining but he was playing a weird wooden creepo.
#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror

That... umm.... Yog Sothoth?

Still, it had its high points. I mean taken together that film was a hot mess, but still I did enjoy it.

Thank you for hosting another great #Monsterdon, @Taweret. Have a great week everyone!

#Monsterdon #TheDunwitchHorror1970

and then they fucked off into the... oh they're walking away from the sea actually? but she's implied to be pregnant so at least they fucked anyway #monsterdon

It was just very 1970s slow.

I really like that one scene.

#monsterdon

While the angry mob is being unhelpful, the Professor arrives and has a nonsense word duel with Wilbur, which causes the later to burst into flames and fall into the sea.

Then pink smoke poofs around Nancy and we see a weird medusa-head looking thing briefly appear within it and disappear. Nancy wakes up and is confused, so the Professor explains to her that Wilbur's dad was an alien but now Wilbur is dead.

#monsterdon

oh and my #MonsterdonBingo card 😁

#Monsterdon #thedunwichhorror1970

honestly not too bad until the endless. fucking. ritual. and surrounding rabble rabble.

#monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970 #LobbyChat

And Yog-Sothoth fucks off back into the transdimensional spaces from whence he came. Well, that sure was a movie!

Thanks @Taweret for hosting.

#Monsterdon

Thanks for the company #monsterdon ers. Take care. See ya soon.

I take it back. Put it away.
#Monsterdon

RE: https://me.dm/@kshernandez/116735297261197109

That was actually ... good. Very entertaining, in spite of that poisonous caterpillier mustache.

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror

Should I stick around for Part deux? 🤔

You know that little problem at the end there could be fixed with a little Plan B. #Monsterdon

Bam! That’s how you get’er done with #Monsterdon. Quick and no wrap up.

Well that was slow but competent, I didn't feel too greasy from all the 70s nudity

#Monsterdon

When are we watching The Dunwich Horror 2?

#monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

well, guess that's over.

#monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

And that was definitely a take on the Dunwitch horror. Some things at a place, but pretty true to the original theme and pacing.

-fin
#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

And if the heartbeat is back, that makes the baby??? #Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

So Wilbur's mom was a monsterfucker, that's not that unusual in this day and age. #Monsterdon

The fact that Nancy survived this movie and Elizabeth didn’t is a travesty

#Monsterdon

The Dunwich inconvenience

#Monsterdon #TheDunwichHorror1970

Good grief. That was a very strange movie packed with classic horror / monster movie tropes.

#Monsterdon

Not today Santathulu.

By the power of KRULl!
#Monsterdon

what was that? What are they shouting to each other?
2 minutes?
Another classic sudden-end for a #monsterdon, I bet

Well that's a handy spell to be carrying around with you.
