Oh hell yea we get a specific named gorgon? Yeaaaaaaaaa

#Monsterdon

Megaera wasn't a Gorgon, she was one of the Furies.

#Monsterdon

Don’t they find it weird that people are turning to stone…Medusa does that too.
#Monsterdon

Same effect as Margarete Thatcher naked on a cold day, if you think about it. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I'm sorry but this movie is entirely too enjoyable for me to keep up with the posts tonights.

The costumes! The scenery! The chewing of scenery! Fabulous!

My son was human! Tangible! All the usual things!

#Monsterdon

I don't know that a respectable man would smoke a cigarette, even with an holder, in a small Mitteleuropaische town c.1906—a cigar or a pipe is more likely.

#monsterdon

It's like the one character has the missing part of the other characters beard. Together they'd have full facial hair. #Monsterdon #TheGorgon

I'm a little disappointed we didn't a digression into the sexual practices of the group at Lake Geneva (Shelley/Byron/etc), but I missed any dates for this movie and maybe it's set too late for that to be a cutting reference?

(also yes trying to figure out if that group of people had a cute name meant I just missed a couple of minutes and am lost, as per the usual)

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964 Rude of him not to offer coffee! (#Coffee #Watch sulks)

"By my pointy beard I will solve this mystery!" #Monsterdon

"some horrible occurrence which has been suppressed" #monsterdon 2025

@hollie I just shant my pants #Monsterdon

Everywhere I go I find a conspiracy of silence... welcome to my world

#Monsterdon #thegorgon1965

Sir, that wig... #Monsterdon Ascot is pretty dope tho...

The Truth is out there

#Monsterdon

This dad is really not dealing with the fact is just a piece of shit, tragic....

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Catching up, sometimes retail is a fickle timekeeper. LOL.

Look, you want me to call your kid a total wanker? Today? Here?

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

Omigosh puppers! I want to give them all the pats.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

#Monsterdon if this lady knew about the other deaths why didn't SHE say something??

"Why are you so certain he is innocent!?"

BITCH HUMANS DON'T TURN EACH OTHER TO STONE WTF #Monsterdon

So, at the inquest, Dr. Namaroff failed to mention that these bodies have all been turned to stone? That seems like something that really should have been mentioned by an expert witness.

#Monsterdon

Me at work this year: "Why is everyone trying to escape the truth including you?!"

#Monsterdon

I thought he was... normal.

ABBY normal!

#monsterdon

Seven people have been turned to stone, you'd think it would occur to someone to try to figure out how

#Monsterdon

Fun fact: this movie was Lin Manuel Miranda's inspiration for In The Heights.
#monsterdon

smug and satisfactory closes are sooooo what coroners are after, he totally called it

now the Medusa gets another free turn

#Monsterdon

rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb!!!

smacks hammer Now now, there'll be none of that in MY courtroom!!!

#monsterdon

In fact we couldn't have any character in this whole thing showing any sort of real emotion

I suppose it *is* British...

#Monsterdon

Oh no, NOT a Libertine!! 😱

#Monsterdon

He was a bohemian and a libertine! And an artist. The worst! #monsterdon

@bstacey Maybe it's like 3d printing and you can choose the % of fill #monsterdon

Okay #Monsterdon folks, we're going to be making a lot of jokes on the word "stoned" which means I get to share my favorite of the genre:

Not going to whip out a phrenology lesson, doc? #monsterdon

"bad behavior in public" look at mr. gold buttplug hat casting stones #monsterdon

We couldn't have the father of a dead girl showing any kind of emotion, no sir

#Monsterdon

We don't talk enough about people being "in their cups" nowadays

#Monsterdon

In his cups... a tendency to violence? Don't bother to answer, rhetorical question.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon(1965)

"Thank you Mr. Catz, the court has auto-completed your testimony for you." #Monsterdon

@athena_rising a bit loud #monsterdon

Ope. I'll get the ceramics glue. #monsterdon

Uh-oh! The doctor coughed. In a movie like this, that means death!
#monsterdon

I didn't give a damn about his bad reputation!

#Monsterdon

Look, you just need a scroll of Stone to Flesh. The local temple should have them in stock.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

What?

#monsterdon

Huh, miles. I was starting to think that this was in Germany?

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

I wonder what an X-ray would reveal on a stone body. If only Marie Curie was around already...
#monsterdon

i'm gonna be honest i have a really hard time listening to anything that guys with fancy old timey accents like this say #monsterdon

Looks like they gave him the finger.

#monsterdon

I couldn't take an authority figure seriously dressed like that, all cape and spiked hat....

#monsterdon

Joining #Monsterdon for one of my favorite Cushing-Lee-Hammer films #TheGorgon, but will be mostly lurking 🧶 because: knitting

POINTY HELMET DOCTOR

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

personally I would suspect someone was playing a prank on me by bringing in a statue on a stretcher rather than going straight to "bodies turning to stone"

#Monsterdon

DON'T BLINK

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

...You guys could've at least made the plaster "body" to scale >_>; #Monsterdon

Every body must get STONED! #Monsterdon

I will need a chisel
#monsterdon

“Dammit, Jim - I’m a DOCTOR not a MASON!” #monsterdon

Young Grandma Addams makes an appearance

#Monsterdon

Oh how charming. They keep a mad woman locked in a cell.

#monsterdon

We talk a lot about Bruno, actually.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

With what I have in these test tubes I can create enough power to destroy an entire planet. #monsterdon

She gave them the finger. #monsterdon

Damn. Broke a finger.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

The cop complains that he has a poor clearance rate.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

🎶Turn to Stone 🎵 #monsterdon

The Saracen Inn? Hmm

#Monsterdon

Is that a German military helmet?

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

lovely science lab man. What a colorful set of tubes
#monsterdon

as someone with misophonia the painful silences are scarier to me than any gorgon

#monsterdon

An idea I really wish had worked: freezing butter and then using a cheese grater to shred it on hot popcorn to melt it.

#monsterdon

He knows *all* the flavors of kool-aid.

#monsterdon

Would you like to peruse my collection of test tubes?

#monsterdon

Trivia: this was the original teleplay of the musical Hair. #monsterdon

@diazona @Lazarou Wilhelmina Scream #monsterdon

#monsterdon Monster... petrification..? Not entirely sure what caused that horrified scream, but I'm sure we'll be told in short order.

@Taweret Have you ever actually looked at it?

#Monsterdon

Tarkin, I thought I could smell your... wait, wrong movie. #Monsterdon

Castles and the moon are how scary?

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

@Lazarou It was not a great stage scream TBH

#Monsterdon

I feel a scream scene coming on

#monsterdon

Bruno: What is he going to do, kill me?
Last words before being killed
#monsterdon

@rallias There were three gorgons, but Medusa was the only one able to launch a successful solo career

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorgons

#Monsterdon

If this was 1985 instead of 1965 it would have been shot from his point of view. #monsterdon

c'mon Bruno, don't be a dick and leave the topless lady behind.
#monsterdon

Condoms, Bruno! #monsterdon

Wow, Bruno sure has a way with the ladies.

#monsterdon

You can do better than Bruno

#Monsterdon #thegorgon1965

womp womp

or I guess womb womb

#Monsterdon

I think that was Castle Dracula in at least Hammer film.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👹 🙍 🙎 🗿 🗿 😱

He's not going to marry you, Sweetie.

@moira I assume that was meant to be "debts" but I like it way better your way

#Monsterdon

“Get rid of a few DEATHS?!?” #monsterdon

as soon as he's got over a few deaths? what?

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

opening up with titillation, I see…🧐
#monsterdon

Ohhh a Hammer movie you say?

#monsterdon

Hmm, a lot of written exposition, is that good

#Monsterdon

Vandorf? Borski?? Not trying very hard here are we? #Monsterdon #TheGorgon

It starts with reading, that’s how you know it’s gonna be good #monsterdon
