This guy seems really broken up about the deaths of his father and brother. NOT!
#Monsterdon

McGonnagal gong turncoat. Ever forward, Gryffindor!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964 Tell me about the statues of your world, Paul Heitz. Are they made of people?

TBH I wouldn't mind if this movie is just repeatedly sending people to their deaths at the hands (eyes) of the Gorgon #TeamMonster

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe The first protagonist sank into the swamp. The second protagonist sank in to the swamp. The third protagonist burned down and then sank into the swamp. But the FOURTH protagonist...

#monsterdon

@kshernandez I don't know - I'm so busy watching the movie that I have to use the commercials to catch up on the #Monsterdon posts

"The first thing you should do is... not leave all yoru doors open"

#monsterdon

That's the same trick as the guy scribing the location of the grail in Monty Python. "Perhaps he died while carving it?" #monsterdon

I wonder if Peter Cushing's character has a lucrative side hustle selling statues. #Monsterdon #TheGorgon

I mean, heart failure would probably be the cause of death if the guy turned to stone. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon damn those drawings kinda give away this guys real interest in monster ladies

Don't give this letter to anyone, but leave it on the desk is alright?
#monsterdon

Now people would just toot "LMAO, turning to stone"
#monsterdon

"It wasn't heart failure"

"Oh sure, but didn't HIS HEART TURN TO STONE, TOO??"

<Foreigner song begins playing>

#Monsterdon

if this movie runs on Nethack rules, they just have to carry a lizard corpse #Monsterdon

Look, people back then tended to be melodramatic. It was a *poetic* "I'm turning to stone."

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

I was instructed to not show his letter with anyone but I'll read most of it to you anyways #Monsterdon

I love the British approach to fear: Oh my, this is not in order. Perhaps we should have another glass of sherry? #monsterdon

these people have no idea how to handle turning into a rock. amateurs. i could turn into a rock and leave a million page note that whips ass and tells you everything about turning into a rock #monsterdon

I haven’t much time… but I’ll write a 15 page letter.

#monsterdon

"hellooooo vandorf! are you ready to ROCK?!" #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
The little pocks on their foreheads are an interesting detail.

Also, clearly this petrification process is not so fast.

"This is a police state, Mr. Heitz, they don't have to give reasons."

#Monsterdon

Technically, your heart does fail if it turns to stone. #monsterdon

thankfully the petrification was slow acting enough for him to get to a dramatic point in writing a letter #monsterdon

"this is a police state, they don't have to give reasons" oof. #monsterdon

A real hardbody, if you think about it. #monsterdon

maybe he should have had an edible they are slower acting

#Monsterdon #thegorgon1965

Okay, that was a pretty good scene there. 💯 points movie.

"This is a police state, they don't have to give reasons."

SOMEONE CLIP THAT AUDIO, IT'S GOING IN MY NEXT TRACK

#monsterdon

That’s how you do it. Immediately turn away. No second looks.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

Wait, that's not blackletter

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

Are you sure you wouldn't like a cup of tea, a bucket of cement?, a chisel sir?

#monsterdon

@Taweret It's like Polaroid pictures. If you shake them it goes faster #monsterdon

Oh no the Gorgon turned him into the Snow Miser

#Monsterdon

Big end of Sunday mood.

#monsterdon

@ohiofi They didn't stop! I have one! It's a totally wild aesthetic choice by my landlord to have a door with a rounded top, large metal nail heads on the trim and a little door at eye level covered by metal bars. If it wasn't dark out and I wasn't tethered to the computer right now I'd go take a photo for you.

(also poorly finished so that it's actually rotting away from the bottom)

#Monsterdon

she turned him into a goth! #monsterdon

okay I like that the turning into stone is not instant like it usually is in movies

#monsterdon

Dude, you're looking a bit rocky.

#Monsterdon

Everybody must get stoned #monsterdon

"Goodbye Hans....."

Awwww

#monsterdon

WTF with writing a letter - just tell the butler!!! #monsterdon

He's got great dexterity for a guy turning to stone. #monsterdon

oh no ... the pages... they're RIFFLING!!!

#monsterdon

What a little white base will do

#monsterdon

sexy monster? 🤔 🥴 #monsterdon

#Monsterdon wait,is she a gorgon or a siren?

he's weirdly flexible for someone who should now be very stone(d)

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

That was a very unscientific response

#monsterdon

Myrtle tries Throw Birds at People.

It was not effective.

#monsterdon

Ah, they released the doves, someone must have just gotten married

#Monsterdon

Chekhov's Mirror

#Monsterdon

@SordidAmok As you do

#Monsterdon

I wanna live in a spooky castle in a spooky forest

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Anyone can just wander into the local castle, and it's still mostly furnished? Impressive.

#monsterdon so ... this place is literally 50 seconds from his office at all times?

the old ways, so ghastly and dangerous *hangs statue of a corpse in the woods for people to come across in the dead of night because jesus* #monsterdon

I have no idea how far away anything is in this movie. Is the castle everyone is afraid of just 100 feet from the bruno's house?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon BEWARE THE SmENCE

Are Gorgons also Sirens? I think we’re getting the mythology mixed up.

#Monsterdon

These are horrible jump scare attempts.

#Monsterdon

That is one classic Hammer set. #Monsterdon #TheGorgon

I don't know what exactly he's living in - some small castle? But I love it and want to live there. Especially with that outdoor stone bathtub and the mysterious and haunting singing.

#Monsterdon

Oh, my ... are those the actual town gates?

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

It's very rare to find a sympathetic character who looks like Judge Robert Bork.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon He's got a nice little villa for someone who's only been in town four days.

#Monsterdon so this guy's all about 2000 year old myths but he doesn't recognize a siren when he hears one?

...So the old man wanders into the forest, and his son arrives to deduce HIS murder

leading to our THIRD protagonist in half an hour??? #Monsterdon

Beard dude is next for the Gorgon I think....

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Mysterious singing is never a good sign in these stories...

That's how they get ya!

"I have an Orangery?!"

"I have a grotto?"

#monsterdon

This movie knows what we want and it's givin'

#Monsterdon

Yes, follow the beautiful singing

YES

You will surely not regret following the beautiful singing

#Monsterdon

oh ffs, just let a woman do her vocal exercises already, won't you?

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

Love how these remote Bohemian villages are well stocked with gorgon documentation. #Monsterdon

Absolute silence. #monsterdon

The cops! Cheese it! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964 Is that .... coffee? (#Coffee #Watch has hope)

#Monsterdon is this movie introducing more Avengers? I feel like they should have done the origin story movies first

My police force is very small!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Christopher Lee looking very Sam Elliot in that stache

#monsterdon

Those insurrectionists weren't all that menacing, I think #monsterdon

#monsterdon #thegorgon1964 i'm tempted to close mastodon and focus on the actual movie
what is this doing to me lol

Did they hire Christopher Lee just to tell a guy to get on a train? #monsterdon

oh, and give my regards to broadway, won't you?

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

They have power rangers for cops. #Monsterdon

Apparently this is set in Germany, about 1910, and the term “bohemianism” was coined in the 1800s. #Monsterdon #TheGorgon

"My police force is very small' Also we don't really give a shit... #Monsterdon #TheGorgon

Love how everyone just keys right in on the logic that leads inevitably to the Gorgon. No Method here. All serve the narrative!!!

#monsterdon

Torches but no pitchforks? What kind of lazy mob is this?

#thegorgon #monsterdon

#monsterdon this fucking wallpaper though

Except for the Pickelhauben, I'd place this as more likely in Austro-Hungarian territory, say Styria, than in Germany….

#monsterdon

Coming in late to Monsterdon but I see we have some excellent wallpaper going on.

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

Undertaker to Brother-in-Law: I've got a great deal on some sculptures for your garden.

#Monsterdon

"what is it you're afraid of"

MEDUSAS

THEY ARE AFRAID OF MEDUSAS

#Monsterdon

I like the interaction of these two honestly, it's nice that they're both basically on the same side but still are directly at odds

#monsterdon #TheGorgon
