If I was worried about a gorgon, I would simply not look at her. It would be easy for me

#monsterdon

@Taweret heart failure, heart attack, at the end of the day these perverts are just looking for an excuse to break out the leeches #monsterdon

and the whole carousel begins again. #Monsterdon

Honestly, great sets #Monsterdon

this is not a cool enough location that we need to stare at it this long

#monsterdon

She looked at him like he was young Brad Pitt. #monsterdon

Okay so now THIS clown wanders down the passage into the derelict castle and ALSO finds the Gorgon

AND WE GET PROTAGONIST NUMBER FOUR! #Monsterdon

@Lazarou It looked more like actual calligraphy to me than just cursive? I'm old enough I was taught cursive (and told I would have to write all of my papers that way! and then computers happened)

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👹 🙍 🙎 🗿 🗿 😱

Maybe the gorgonning is dose-sensitive? Like he only caught a glimpse before screaming and running away so his stonification was slow but inexorable - but Sasha stared at the gorgon and stood there like a dummy?

#monsterdon If I was hunting a gorgon, I would take some sort of precaution. I'm not sure what, but it would be more than just squinting at her.

where the fuck is the dad wouldn't all the proof you need that your dad turned into a rock be that there's a big fucking rock that looks like your dad in your dads house #monsterdon

Oh my internet is cranky tonight. I can't enjoy the faux architecture at 480p that keeps reloading.
#Monsterdon #TheGordon

This movie really loves showing people walking around… #monsterdon

like how the dad and now his bro are both working in his porno sketch cave. making things real awkward from the afterlife

#Monsterdon
#TheGorgon

He sits in a closed room, hears a song, follows it outside, it is so quiet he cannot tell which way it comes from, until he gets to the castle on the other side of the forest...but he heard it in a closed room.

Horror films are all the same.

Make me wanna say the same things to all the characters....

Don't go, don't listen, dummy!

Every door in this movie is weird. #monsterdon

Is the gorgon using the deaths to fuel a foul ritual that enriches the town or something? Because otherwise I'm not sure why there isn't a pitchfork mob going after the gorgon.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

THis guy seems pretty chill for someone who just lost his brother and his father. #monsterdon

It’s a police state? Oh my.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

@kshernandez #monsterdon zombie lincoln?

I bet Christopher Lee and his mustache will get to the bottom of this. He IS still in this flick right? #Monsterdon #TheGorgon

Maybe the petrification is like epoxy, it just takes a bit of catalyst to make these resiny people go rigid #monsterdon

@kshernandez this is how I fell when young people are running around with their energy #monsterdon

Why didn’t he simply tell someone what he saw???
#monsterdon

Sets were amazing back in the day. #Monsterdon

heart attacks can take hours tho. that's a thing. also heart failure is not the same as a heart attack

#monsterdon

Ok that's a classic take and it had to be used somewhere to be a classic. 📝

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1965

@SRLevine Yep.

#Monsterdon

Have some Megera m’gear

#monsterdon

Mr. Heitz feelin' kinda looow #Monsterdon

Naked lady drawings next to a cross - OMG! #monsterdon

yeah what is up the the #foreheadpimples ?

#Monsterdon #thegorgon1965

I think Derrida and Lacan have a lesser-known seminar about the circulation of letters in this movie.

#Monsterdon

ANd now our story already in progress... A man startled by birds inside a cobweb and column factory.
#Monsterdon #TheGordon

Wait, is this guy the brother of the dead one who got the girl pregnant then?

#Monsterdon

@kshernandez Half stoned #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon they're not simply turning to stone. They're becoming the mooooon 🌑
(How else do you explain the craters?)

Quick! Get me the makeup remover before it sets! #monsterdon

@fabio it can take up to an hour to achieve peak stiffness #Monsterdon

so "show it to know one" but go ahead and read it to anybody you like. okay. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon taking his sweet time chit chatting for a guy turning to stone

"You don't go on working through a heart attack!"

You obviously haven't been to America

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

3 pages damn

#Monsterdon scene had a real castle of aaaaaaargh feel to it

Very eloquent writing from a man turning to statuary. #Monsterdon

That’s a very slow speed of turning to stone #monsterdon

🎶Turn to Stone 🎵 #monsterdon

That letter is some real walking simulator environmental storytelling. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon "This is a police state, they don't need a reason"

Do we think there was a hand dummy for this scene who could write in that style or did the actor have that ability?

#Monsterdon

...and it was a verbose letter too

#Monsterdon

Yep, there's protagonist number three." #Monsterdon

Stoned dad can still write a letter? Amazing.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon OMG he turned into Dr. Creep!

does this guy really have time to write a whole letter right now

oh

okay he had time for 1.5 pages not bad

#monsterdon

Were you stoned when you wrote this letter? #Monsterdon

"I may be turning to stone, but that's no excuse for sloppy handwriting." #Monsterdon

dictate the fucking letter my dog he's going to carry it anyway #monsterdon

Maybe dictate to Hans? #Monsterdon

OMG it's heart breaking when he tells his butler good-bye

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon

Very considerate of this stone curse to give you time to go home and get your affairs in order.

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

Bob Seger - Like a Rock #monsterdon

I like his hair better a a statue.

#monsterdon

So when do we get to the part where Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing discover they can just inject the victims with a salt solution--oh wait wrong movie

#Monsterdon

His handwriting is atrocious. What does he have? Rocks for hands?

#Monsterdon

Oh and Hans... please get me a bit more scenery. I'm feeling a bit hungry.......

#monsterdon

How I feel every time the damn weather changes

#Monsterdon

🎶Turn to Stone 🎵 #monsterdon

@Louisa slow mizer i think you mean

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

@diazona Okay, as long as it's in fewer than 140 characters #monsterdon

That's some slow acting stoning. #Monsterdon #TheGorgon

@Taweret the forehead barnacles appear to be temporary

#monsterdon

Ah… it’s the old birds fly in all directions trick.
#Monsterdon

I got the grey lung pa #Monsterdon

Dude!! Why did you look!? #Monsterdon

We don't talk about Bruno's dad no more, no no no.

#Monsterdon

his aid looks like he's trying to hold back a sneeze from all the stone dust coming off the guy
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👹 🙍 🙎 🗿 🗿 😱

This guy's gorgonning just made him get painted gray for a bit, giving him time to write a letter I guess?

Watching #monsterdon and every so often the grandbaby says "oh no!" Lol #thegorgon

I must write my great American novel....
#monsterdon

The amount of work those eyebrows are doing to balance out that goatee is remarkable

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1965

if you don't have much time before you turn into a rock, i wouldn't waste time saying "listen carefully, i don't have much time" i would just say "i'm turning into a damn rock" #monsterdon

Ooh, it’s slow acting petrification. #Monsterdon

So, viewing a gorgon gives you forehead zits? Who knew.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

Checkov’s Mirror #monsterdon

You're actively turning to stone, you realize you don't have much time, and your course of action is to write a letter

...huh

#Monsterdon

...So an old man wanders into a lady's house, catches a glimpse of her unawares, and then screams and runs away.

Is this a horror film or an episode of Ranma 1/2? Like, this guy is Hammer Happosai. #Monsterdon

lol, he's got the grey body paint all over his suit #monsterdon

🎶Turn to stone, when you coming home, I can’t go on🎶 #Monsterdon

Wow, he managed to go back home? This guy has balls!
#monsterdon

ooooooh it's sloooooow okay

#monsterdon #TheGorgon

These scary musical stings are kinda interesting.

#Monsterdon #TheGorgon1964

Did he just see a beautiful woman and run away screaming? Are we sure he's not just questioning his sexuality?

#Monsterdon

🎶Turn to Stone 🎵 #monsterdon

@morganmay i thought the same! Very familiar!

#monsterdon

home security in those days meant getting a bunch of pigeons to sit in your entryway #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I have to admit, after 5 straight minutes of this I'm dying to know what the singing is

#monsterdon Just a little foreshadowing in the set-dressing here, unless I'm very mistaken.

#Monsterdon where the heck is he going through that Wonka door?
